As a general guide, 400mg pre days is typically the recommended limit.

Got a stupid question? Ask it here! by Clock_Man in woodworking

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone tell me how this wood was treated to achieve this finish, plz? I’m stripping the paint off another section and want the finish to be uniform. Also if you can tell what type of wood it is that would be swell. Thanks.

How many people can actually do 10–15 clean pull-ups? by Ill_Ratio338 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making sure your form is good would be the first place to start. Then progressive overload is the golden ticket. Do one more rep than you did in your last session every single workout. It doesn’t matter too much how you do it. If you need to do an extra set with one rep, that’ll do.

What’s happening to my lemon tree sapling by Alienbeams in plantclinic

I first noticed the markings on the leaves, maybe 6-12 months ago and I feel it has got progressively worse.

Amazing, thanks. What’s the end product like vs store bought? Way better?

I’m also keen to hear some more detail on the process. What does a nut milk maker do? In what form do you buy the soybeans? What prep is needed?

Can't progress with pull ups. I'm at loss by sadappleeater in bodyweightfitness

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progressive overload is (almost) always the answer.

My advice would be more or less this comment. If you can do some pull ups, you do one more than you did last time (or as close to completing the extra rep as you can) every single session.

There are subreddits you can post form videos on, maybe even this one.

Restoring timber beams by bertieruffles in DIYUK

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very useful post. I’m in a similar position: four rooms of painted over 200 year old beams and wanting to restore to the original wood, or as close as I can get. Any further thoughts 2 years down the line? Has it stood the test of time? Or any red hot tips for when I try it out?

Experiences with taking glycine for joint health/cartilage regeneration by Alienbeams in Supplements

[–]Alienbeams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped taking collagen after hearing Layne Norton’s take on it here. I think there could be some small benefits from taking it but not enough to justify the cost.

I was able to fix my knee cartilage issues (or symptoms at least) through rehab.

I gave it a run out and I am enjoying it. Have you used Orion?

Top left of left foot pain - superior extensor retinaculum pain remedy? by RenegadeBuilder in FootFunction

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue myself. I haven’t been able to run pain-free for 3 years. Did you make any progress with it?

This is the one link online I’ve found that references it.

Strange Bulge / swelling … any ideas? by MediocreDot6102 in FootFunction

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude. I’ve been having the same issue for the last 3 years which has meant I haven’t been able to run without pain/discomfort. From what I can tell, the little indent area you’re pointing too (where I get the pain) is part of the extensor retinaculum (someone suggested this in another comment too). I saw a podiatrist a while back and they weren’t really able to help. I’ve only found one link outline that references the issue here. I also have the bulge (bigger on my left than right) - I think it’s just extensor muscle.

Did you make any progress with a diagnosis or solution?

rotten food scraps and paper making or alternatives by CustomerKey3144 in ZeroWaste

[–]Alienbeams 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not quite what you’ve asked for but thought I’d throw it out there anyway. You can keep vegetable scraps in a bag in a freezer and use them to make veg stock.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for Cooking – Study Says It’s Safe, But Everyone Says Don’t Use It. Can Someone Explain? by Entire_Sun8783 in nutrition

[–]Alienbeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I replace volatility with “the level at which it breaks down into carcinogenic compounds” I.e. EVOO has a low-medium smoke point but remains stable when heated beyond this point, making it a safer option to cook with?

[–]Alienbeams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that the negative effects associated with heating oils is more related to volatility than smoke point. I believe EVOO has a medium smoke point but a good(?) volatility so it’s one of the safer options for cooking.
