I was reading the materials I have about power electronics and was discussing this with a colleague, he said that this current was usually not important and could be ignored.
Yet I remember my teacher stating that reverse recovery in diodes can lead to nasty current peaks that can damage equipment, or I'm imagining things.
What can this reverse recovery in diodes do in a circuit?
I've been struggling for many years with alcohol and weed and wanting to make a change, but the idea of even being a sober person was the first major stumbling block. I enjoy and have an appreciation for many substances and believe they can have a place and time if done responsibly. Can I do them responsibly at this point in my life? Apparently not. Will I be able to in the future? I don't know. This is where the classic "one day at a time" concept is actually pretty helpful for me. I'm not trying to be a "sober" person, I'm just not using substances today because I know it's not a good time in my life for it, it might not ever be, but that's not my goal. Just today.
The numbers game seems helpful for a lot of folks but I have some serious issues with it. I know that the "high score" of how many days sober you have can be a big motivator, but I think it can give a false sense of security and superiority, and I find it really unhelpful to think of it as an endurance contest or some kind of special status to flaunt. That kind of mentality makes it more likely for me to be dishonest with myself and others about potential slips, and more likely to binge or go back to regular using if I feel like I've lost all those precious gold rings like when Sonic the Hedgehog gets hit. Progress is progress, and I don't lose all that if I have a slip. I'm not back at zero and I'm not lesser than someone with 6 years. It's more helpful for me to see it as "I've had 2 drinks in the last 3 months" then starting over every time.
I don't have a disease or illness, I have a "hole" I'm trying fill and distract from. If I stop drinking and using drugs I just find myself trying to do the same thing with food, shopping, porn, reddit, games etc. I need to identify and work on the core issues in my life at the root of this needing to cope and distract. Removing the substances will probably be necessary to do this work, but won't fix the problem.
I'm not powerless and I don't need a higher power. I'm the only entity (divine or otherwise) that can make this change, and It was this realization that got me on this path to recovery in the first place. This isn't to say we don't need friends, family, groups or therapy, or that spirituality isn't helpful for some. But the power to initiate any kind of change is within me, and feeling powerless all these years is why I've continued to do nothing.
I know AA and these kinds of recovery mentalities aren't the only options around, but seem
... keep reading on reddit ➡So nobody is worried I’m talking about recovering a wallet with less than $10 dollar worth of raven in it! 😂 I recovered it today since data loss had wiped the old computer it used to exist on …..as I have the 12 word pass phrase ….but once synced the wallet has no receiving address (I do also know that address!) and thus zero total? Do I need the wallet.dat to recover that? If so that should be declared strongly all over the place on ravencoin.org …instead the recovery steps talk as if you can recover wallet with only the pass phrase. Should that actually work? Recovery is pretty useless if your receiving addresses aren’t in there and thus no ravens either! 😂 You can definitely recover other coin wallets with only pass phrase, as I’ve tested this out and wallets normally stay intact. If possible I’d like not worry about dat files. Good to learn this stuff early how it all works… so I don’t potentially lose a more hefty raven wallet someday!! 😅

#MONDAY BUT NO SIGN OF MUNDY
David Mundy headlined a list of absent and injured Dockers as Fremantle returned to training for the first time after a brief Christmas break.
The veteran Dockers is facing a delayed return to training after sustaining a significant ankle injury in the Dockers’ final training session last year.
Mundy has been required to use crutches and could be in doubt for the start of his 19th season at AFL level.
The Christmas break wasn’t enough for a few other Dockers to ease back into training, a selection of Fremantle players managed through Monday mornings training session.
Joel Western, Luke Valente, Josh Treacy and Hayden Young all started training in the rehab group, eventually progressing to jogging laps.
Midfielder Caleb Serong wore an orange cap, indicating the rising star should be avoided and treated with care by his teammates.
Key forward Matt Taberner also warmed up with the main group before joining the rehab group to continue his build back from off-season ankle surgery.
#FYFE’S RAPID RECOVERY
Nat Fyfe’s new facial hair will dominate discussion for days to come but Fremantle fans will be just as happy with the massive step their skipper has taken following off-season shoulder surgery.
After being trapped in the rehab group late last year when the Dockers returned to training, the captain looks to have made significant strides in recovering his shoulder strength and mobility.
The two-time Brownlow medallist started training in the main group, warming up alongside his teammates before heading to the far side of the oval to build his running base as his teammates started contact training.
But the biggest sign yet Fyfe appears on track for round one came in the rehab group, the captain putting his shoulder to the test and flying for overheard marks.
Fyfe was completely comfortable with the extended range of motion, a significant improvement from pre-Christmas when he was restricted to marking with one hand.
#INTENSITY HIGH FROM THE OUTSET
There was no easing back into training for Fremantle.
After an extensive warm-up, the Dockers quickly moved into a contested ball movement drill, pitting two evenly matched sides against each other as they aimed to transition the ball down one wing.
After spending the pre-season block befo
... keep reading on reddit ➡Here is a 5 step guide for Rockstar employees on how to make the monkey vehicle recovery more enjoyable for players:
Step 1: give the player a faster vehicle. I can speak for the whole community here and tell you that nobody wants to drive 6 miles(9+kilometers) in a van that drives worse then a cheap whore and has a top speed of 1 millimeter per century.
Step 2: give the dudes in the cars pistols instead of uzi’s. How the fuck am i supposed to stay alive when there is 4 guys in two different cars shooting at me with a shooting rate of dead in one second?
Step 3: give the dudes in cars less health. No joke i shot one of them in the chest 3 or 4 times and he was still driving like nothing happened
Step 4: give us a payphone hit to take out Franklins neighbor. Why does the fucker have to have a monkey as a pet, he probably stole it from a zoo. The zoo wants him dead now.
Step 5: Remove the mission Nobody likes it.
Goodbye
I’ve been masking , socially distancing, tripled vaxxed , I’ll be self isolating and continuing to test. My flight leaves jan 6th , I’ve reported my positive result to the nhs , I’m just worried about still testing positive by my flight even if I feel better ( I don’t even feel bad , get that vax everyone !).
Any advice on what to do ? Thanks !
(In your humble opinion)
Hi !! I’ve been living in Philly for the last 5 years and am returning to Texas indefinitely the first week of December. I have a substance use disorder, among mental health disorders as well as trauma, and am in recovery for all.
I’ve done a lot of harm reduction work in Philly over the last few years and it’s a large part of my personal recovery. I would like to get involved in Austin’s harm reduction, recovery, and 12 step communities as quickly as possible.
Any direction toward groups, places, events, etc would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you.
I have so many questions. How do you navigate recovery goals and commitments like bottom lines when there may be a difference in how committed parts are to recovery? Did you tell your sponsor about your dissociative disorder? Did you include other parts in your 4th step inventory or 9th step amends? Did you talk about people or events in your 4th step that you have/had some amnesia for? Have you been open about your disorder at meetings? Do you know other 12 step folks who also have a dissociative disorder?
I’m struggling with all these questions for myself, especially because I’ve just been newly coming to terms with my dissociative disorder over the past 18 months and internal conflict and DID symptoms are taking up a lot of space in my life. Including those resentments in my 4th step would feel helpful but it would feel very vulnerable to go into too much detail about my parts with my sponsor. I also learned about many events I previously had amnesia for and have started to include vague references to those events in my 4th step but it feels strange because I’m not really sure I have all the facts straight and I’m not really sure I should externally confirm them until I’m able to properly process and integrate those memories. I also just generally feel lonely at meetings—like my recovery looks different due to different parts fronting and intrusion of severe trauma symptoms and I guess maybe I want people to know how difficult things really are and how much work I put into my recovery even if it might not look like that from the outside.
I just had another binge episode tonight. I talked it out with a family member for the first time afterwards because I felt horrible. However, during the conversation, I realized I really didn't know what are the best first steps to recovery. My method has been feeling ashamed and disgusting, then "forgiving myself", and "I'll try my best tomorrow". However, when tomorrow comes and I feel the compulsion at night to binge, that's the only thought in my head. Even if I recognize the compulsion and understand why I'm feeling it, that voice is powerless and my urges take over in my head. I feel like a mindless zombie looking for food.
This family member suggested looking for a doctor for help but I'm wary of not being taken seriously or the high cost of therapy. So what are the recommended steps to take to start a proper recovery journey from this hellish disorder?
Edit: I should also add that I'm in my early twenties attempting to lose weight as well so you can imagine how much harder it would be with this condition.
In early April, I thought I sprained my foot badly. Learned I had just experienced my first case of gout and had a Uric Acid level of over 10, was prescribed prednisone and naproxen to help with the pain, and got almost instant relief. Until the next flare, and the next and the next (none treated medically because like lots of people, I thought I could deal with it on my own).... all fairly minor until another really painful flair two weeks ago that took me a week to recover from. However, since April, I started to aim to drink 100 oz of water a day, started daily Vitamin C supplements, took tart cherry supplements when I had little attacks, started to eat less red meat, less carbs... , etc.
Finally bit the bullet and went to see a doctor. Surprise - I somehow lost 13 lbs and had dropped my Uric Acid to 9 just by the above changes. But I was adamant - after reading this Subreddit, I did NOT want to be one of those people who suffered for years with the pain. I wanted to start a plan of action to get my Uric Acid levels to 6 and under.
This time he gave me a 3-day Prednosine scrip, and when I'm finished that, I'm supposed to take Indomethacin. But I thought that was just for pain, and not for the actual flare?
Just started Allopurinol with the low dose of 100 mg with plans to slowly increase as we monitor my results. Anyway, wish me luck. And to those of you who have been suffering from the pain, please go see a doc and get help!
Where do you find support in your recovery? I have done 12-step recovery--I am in a Zoom meeting right now--but feel I need one-on-one support. I feel like my friends are tired of hearing about my addiction.
Not sure what to do next. I am getting urges for the first time in years and need help.
I recently discovered that I have Afrid. I believe it’s something I’ve had since a young age and I’ve always known, but it’s gotten a lot worse recently due to stress, depression and anxiety. Thankfully, my stress has lightened immensely, but the effects/symptoms still persist and it really weighs me down.
I’d really appreciate some advice on a first step to take to recovery. it’s hard for me to eat 2-3 meals a day, and it takes me at least an hour to finish anything, even when I’m hungry. meals/foods I used to finish in one sitting I now put down after 2-3 bites. should I join a support group, or see my doctor? I just want to be able to finish food again and eat an appropriate amount of calories a day again. I’m kind of trying to avoid having this disorder in any medical records.
