Thing is, my specs are really good. Again, my laptop is a beast and it ran like 100% CPU, 100% GPU, and 100% of my 64gb of DDR5 Ram! Seeing it and how hot it made my computer

Local llm usage depends on your VRAM, your GPU. It sounds like you tried to run a model your laptop can't handle. If you also need your RAM, then it is going to be super slow no matter what. The number each model has is important to determine if your GPU can handle it, also the quantization. If you run something significantly smaller like 2B* rather than say gemma 31B, then a laptop might be able to handle it. Your laptop is not a beast (for LLM usage) unless it has more than 24 GB of VRAM on it so don't assume you can run any model on it. Look for smaller numbers with quantization. Running a local llm for me on my desktop is similar to running a video game, it doesn't slow to a crawl or cause 100% on CPU or RAM because only the VRAM is touched.

*or 4B even, just depends on your GPU

I am by no means an expert, but I think it comes from the makeup drying out on dry skin. I get flakiness from powder and less from liquid makeup, I also use primer spray and setting spray. Too much makeup still flakes. I have a mix of normal and oily skin that gets dried out from acne products (I can't be on estrogen b/c anymore and the progesterone b/c makes my skin suck). I started mixing my color corrector, concealer and foundation on like a plastic palette and got better results than layering them. You could also try different application tools (beauty blender vs brushes). Of course if the Cover Girl works then it works!

Just going to copy-paste my experience:

I had a much different experience. First, there was a restricted diet a week prior that was hard to eat around since I am vegan and the instructions were geared for non-vegans. Then a 4 day liquid-only diet. I had diarrhea for at least two days. The actual salty solution was very hard to stomach. And I used the bathroom so much that I felt extremely cold and ill, and almost didn't finish the gross salty solution because I didn't want to use the bathroom anymore or have to taste the solution and just wanted to go to sleep. I didn't have flavored prep, I know some people got gatorade by reading online, but fml my prep was hell and they found nothing, someone in the comments said theirs was 12 hours (?!). What the hell, and I had mine earlier this year too. I've had food poisoning 2 or 3 times but it was nothing like this.

In addition to what apple said (stretching/yoga, deep breathing, warm baths), I found massage to be helpful for my pain. I can't afford a masseuse but I use a massage wand, basically a big vibrator and it is a game changer. It's too hot for me to take a warm bath, so even just an ice pack on the area for 20 minutes max can be helpful (and cool during the summer). There's also lidocaine cream/patches, and icy hot, tiger balm, menthol stuff like that for muscle pain. There's some lemmy communities for dealing with chronic pain and chronic illness too that might have tips.

That's how I found out I was nuerospicy too. It was painfully obvious looking back.

The worry and anxiety about it makes it worse like a bad cycle but I eventually got through it so I believe in you being able to as well. You might have to focus more on you first, play music, or read a smutty book or take a bath or anything to pamper and kinda set a mood for yourself. Partner comes after that, I found a partner made the anxiety worse in the beginning. You want to avoid the 'brakes'. Try to avoid the pressure of having to perform.

I turned out to have a strong pelvic floor that had a lot of trouble relaxing and so exercises like deep breathing through the pelvic floor helped and I still use it. One go-to for me is doing a happy baby yoga pose and deep breathing in the pose. I had to use dialators at one point for point release. It was a whole process! It's hard to know if your pelvic floor is too tense or not strong enough or a mix of both, there was this subreddit I use to read a lot about it. Fuck reddit but they had a community for everything lol.

There's a book called "Come as you are" by Emily Nagoski that while geared for cis women (talks about vaginas), explains that there is a mental part to orgasms and 'enjoying' sex. There are certain triggers for turn-ons and turn-offs like a gas pedal and brakes. I don't think you are broken, just having a hard time in life. Pelvic floor therapy ended up helping me along with the book and therapy, maybe there is a combo for you too. Please hang in there ❤️

Do you want to call Muslims slurs? What about engage in antisemitism? What's the real drama going on with you? I don't picture straight white cis men when I think of christianity, I picture hateful republicans.

*Nevermind, you posted religious crap in atheist communities on lemmy and previously asked why catholics and the catholic church aren't respected on lemmy. No gods, no masters.

Your current logic is since the government knows your personal information, everyone should then share this information with every company or person that asks for it. I am an admin on lemmy, a social media site that would be required in some countries to do digital ID verification. You're saying that people should trust me with their personal info to verify their age or that they are human and allow them to continue using lemmy. I am a random person, just like Persona and the other random companies that do age verification. Persona has already had a leak btw. Do you trust Discord? You shouldn't since 70,000 IDs were leaked. Or how about IDMerit who exposed 1 billion records of PII?

If you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't be afraid of me asking for your information I requested so that you can continue browsing lemmy uninterrupted. Do you see why your logic makes 0 sense? The government is not doing the age verification for reddit*, it is a random person like me doing it. You do have something to hide, because you refused to send me your personal info, you refuse to doxx yourself. And you should refuse, it is sane to refuse, that is why we all refuse digital ID verification. Please read the other comments as well, don't blindly accept the propaganda of the oppressors. I see your account is new, good luck learning new viewpoints.

*I don't trust the government to do the ID verification either to be clear, that is survellaince from a police state, the state is inherently violent. We have seen governments like the USian DOGE fumble basic shit during their survellaince.

Apple "lets" you make a dev account to install an app (side load) from something like iloader and sidestore/altstore, but you are limited to installing a handful of apps and each app only works for 7 days after which you have to redo the whole process. Side loading on apple is a PITA. I recently tried helping do this and hate the entire process, it should be more like android. Not that android is perfect, because I personally believe you should be able to install any app or OS on any device.

Your government knows your ID, address, date of birth, bank information, credit cards, and such, I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving me all of this information? I need your personal information to "verify" you are you and then link your real identity to all of your account's activity for surveillance and sell that info for ads. I will protect your personal info very poorly so your info gets dumped on the internet for all to browse. /s

There's a million reasons why someone wants their info to stay more private. I'm an admin on lemmy, why the fuck should anyone give me their personal info?! Please web search about online privacy and why things like "nothing to hide" is such an ignorant take.
