Any female in a stable relationship is rather likely to have at least one regular subscription med on their list. Should they not be on it?

We wont even need a war that becomes inevitable once resources get scarce. No, nature will take care of it first. The more there are people, the more densely populated the world, the more likely is a proper pandemic. People go every day from one end of the world to another. All you need is a germ that is highly contagious, lethal and has a 3 day latency period and most of that 7 billion will drop dead and it wont even take very long. This is bound to occur within this century. All the highly sterile environments we insist on keeping are perfect breeding grounds for such a disease.

Macs are supported too. Linux users are out in the cold:)

Exceptionally insightful:) I have gotten a few auto translated into Estonian. Hilarious reads indeed :D I may sound sane in some language with simpler grammar, but Estonian (just like its sibling Finnish) is full of funny pitfalls.

Windows didn't crash randomly after 5 minutes to 2 hours uptime. It crashed on user interaction. you could almost tiptoe around most of the unstable stuff if you were good.

Just to explain. Problem with this drug isn't that it doesnt leave the system. Problem is, that it is leaving way too quickly and brain doesn't really cope well with that.

Been there, done that. Just don't quit on your own. I did. It was an experience to say the least. If you get shocks now... Quitting will be horror. Get your doc to subscribe you smaller doses to be taken more frequently or just take a wet finger full off a capsule when you get the shocks. It should take them right away. The med has 9h half life. Your dosage is probably not staying as stable as it should.

P.S Im not a doctor, just someone who has been there and walked the mile. And at that time the med saved my life. But getting your head sorted has a better potential of success in the long term. Therapy FTW.

As someone who pulled a mildly warm turkey off Effexor... Don't suggest that to someone on this drug. For me the flu like symptoms and mood swings lasted for about 4 days, vivid dreams for 2 weeks and the "shocks"/brain freezes about a month. And I took a very small dose whenever things got too bad for the first 4 days. there is only one right way to get off it and that's gradually reducing the dose. Everything else requires a babysitter. And whatever the reason for taking the meds... It will come crashing back.

Trouble with this is that there is no defined list of BIOS-es that will crash or BIOS-es that work and no automated way to gather it, plus it would require maintenance. That can not happen in kernel. The distro's installer is perfect place to detect and configure grub accordingly but I doubt the maintainers are willing to shoulder the burden this brings.

The machine crashing randomly is CERTAIN to drive them away while power issue may or may not.

It cant be a quick test either. Some machines start randomly hard locking with ASPM managed by the kernel. I have one of those. Uptime can vary from 5 minutes to 3 hours.

Nasty ones. The kind you wake up from seriously relived it was a dream. High school is a special kind of hell for those of nerdy mind bent unless you are lucky enough to find other nerds to hang out with.

And IMHO... Some power wastage on some systems is less of an issue than random crashes on others. If people force ASPM and machine starts crashing, they will know what went wrong...

Machines like mine are probably the cause of the offending commit. Since maverick I had to force ASPM off on it or use lucid kernel because it caused frequent hard locks.

It is terminal because it has no cure. You will not ever get magically better. What in the end kills you can be whatever.
