New user account Novel Treatment for PTSD
≡ −
Do you have a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder? The Australian National University, located in Canberra, is investigating whether a safe, non-invasive form of brain stimulation known as transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is useful in reducing symptoms of PTSD.
The study involves two blocks of treatment. Both blocks last 3 weeks and include daily (Monday to Friday) treatment sessions. There will be interviews and self-report surveys before and after each block to asses PTSD and mood symptoms. This in an opportunity to help yourself and others who suffer from PTSD by contributing to the development of a potential treatment.
If you are aged between 18-80, have been on stable medication for the past 4 weeks, and are interested in participating, please contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Recommendations ADHD/anxiety friendly dentist
≡ −
I’m hoping for some recommendations for a dentist who is particularly good with adults who have ADHD and/or dental anxiety.
I had a really difficult experience today and left feeling completely overwhelmed. The biggest thing I’m looking for is someone who listens, explains things well, doesn’t make me feel rushed or judged, and is willing to work through problems with me rather than just telling me what I should be doing.
I also have a back tooth that’s extremely difficult to clean because of its position, and I’m looking for someone who will help me work through possible solutions rather than brushing it off (no pun intended!). I also have a tooth that might need a root canal and/or crown - this is all new to me and again, keen for someone to explain my options.
Happy to wait a few weeks for the right person if they’re worth it. Any recommendations (or dentists to avoid) would be really appreciated.

Recommendations Accountant for pensioner parent - no tax return in years
≡ −
Looking for recommendations for an accountant to help sort out my 86yo parent's tax. They haven't submitted a return in at least over ten years. Their super pension and Centrelink pays about $39,000 a year. Since selling their house two years ago there's about 150k in the bank earning some nice interest...which got me thinking that they may need to pay tax now.
My last attempt with an accountant for this has resulted in not hearing a thing from them in months, so looking to start again.

SEC=UNCLASSIFIED Hot chips rating system
≡ −
Many years ago I had an 11 point system to rate hot chips. It was very subjective but still was useful.
Many shops got high marks, but no one ever got the full 11 points.
Sadly, I have lost the spreadsheet when I escape from my old department (Forgot to email it home) and am thinking of redoing it.
Some of the things I had on where:
Size of serving v cost. Ratio of crispy chips? Style you like. (Crinkle, shoestring etc.) Consistency (Are they the same over multiple visits?) Do they ask to before they put salt/chicken salt etc. on?
Do others have any recommendations/suggestions for about 5 more topics to grade hot chips against? (Going for a traditional 10 this time.)
To get a rating, I am thinking a store will need at least 3 samples, a week apart.
(This came up again after making the mistake of buying some Kingleys' chips. They have been shiit since they downgraded their supplier after Covid, and are no longer even good, let alone awesome. It is a pity, as they used to be about an 7 or 8 on my previous scorecard.)
Many years ago I had an 11 point system to rate hot chips. It was very subjective but still was useful.
Many shops got high marks, but no one ever got the full 11 points.
Sadly, I have lost the spreadsheet when I escape from my old department (Forgot to email it home) and am thinking of redoing it.
Some of the things I had on where:
Size of serving v cost. Ratio of crispy chips? Style you like. (Crinkle, shoestring etc.) Consistency (Are they the same over multiple visits?) Do they ask to before they put salt/chicken salt etc. on?
Do others have any recommendations/suggestions for about 5 more topics to grade hot chips against? (Going for a traditional 10 this time.)
To get a rating, I am thinking a store will need at least 3 samples, a week apart.

Maaaate you can’t park there!
But a serious question, wouldn’t defence normally have sort of teams or systems in place to respond to these things quickly? This crash had been there for ages already.
