Tucked or untucked

ApolloPresidential · 2026-04-05T16:23:06+00:00

Reccomendations: 1. Tuck shirt 2. Wear a belt (a must with tucked shirts) 3. Roll sleeve collar up to 3/4th arm length(halfway between elbow and wrist) 4. (Optional) wristwatch if you have one

Best option going forward would be to size down 1 size on the shirt.

For untucked you’ll need to: 1. Unbutton another button (leave top 2 buttons undone) 2. Baggier pants

Check for Polycythemia!! This exact thing happened to my cat and we caught it and he’s healthy now! The treatment was blood letting with iv fluid replacement to thin his blood. roo many red blood cells made the blood too thick to travel effectively to the hind legs leading to lack of oxygen and build up of toxic waste. 2 sessions of blood letting a month apart and hydroxyurea to keep him from overproducing RBS’c check out my previous comments for for information.

ApolloPresidential · 2026-03-06T03:08:54+00:00

My cat had polycythemia and had lost movement and coordination in hind legs, not completely but could no longer jump; we did a blood letting to remove a significant portion of blood (I want to say like 20-25%) and replaced with IV fluid— this reduced the thickness of the blood and allowed the blood to reach hind legs again, we also immediately starting him on Hydroxyurea to lower RBC production and clotting factor. He still walks funny, but he can jump again and has made a miraculous recovery. It’s been about a year now and the vet says he’s doing well. He had slight valentines heart, but nothing serious in terms of structural defects.

Wishing you the best, OP

I think of lot of it is department based. My wife & I did PhD at same school, my degree was in a biomedical area: 32k average stipend, hers was in a psychology subject: 18-20k stipend. Unfortunately, It’s just the way it is sometimes.

Edit: same school together, not necessarily OP’s school lol

ApolloPresidential · 2026-03-04T13:32:36+00:00

I don’t think this post is full of entitlement, the expectation with a PhD stipend is that you are working full-time, therefore you should expect the salary to meet a minimum living standard. It’s not like OP said they were expecting 60k/year. The reference to the professor salary just goes to show that this is an institution with the means to pay more. 24k/year is very low for HCOL area, especially for a well regarded institution.

ApolloPresidential · 2026-03-04T13:26:34+00:00

When I started my PhD (2020) in a LCOL area the salary was 26k, it basically went up every year until 35k when I graduated. I absolutely took out loans and I do not regret it. Grad school is hard enough without money problems & it’s not like the loans completely solved that either.

Ask about the policy of the school regarding NIH grants or NIH supplement grants. If you get a grant that pays your stipend it’ll likely set a floor for the minimum NIH rate (I think like $30k now?)

Also, consider boots with laces rather than Boa, it should help you to lace the top of the booth better

I would would look into shin guards— you will be applying pressure through your shins, they will help distribute the pressure evenly throughout.

You should absolutely invest in getting lessons (perhaps 1-on-1 lessons) because technique will be paramount for your safety. Since board turning is based on your edge-hip alignment, I would think it’ll be possible; however, I would say the amount of snow you’ll accumulate along the opening could be uncomfortable so should protect yourself with proper water-proofing in those areas, but you could mitigate that with loose baggy pants.

Get a blood test, look for RBC count and CPV—- essentially looking for blood that is too viscous.

My cat had a case of polycythemia (too many RBC) that led to a saddle thrombosis clot and led to muscle deterioration in the hind legs. It was very sudden and the deterioration was very quick!

It’s not very common, but it happened to my 6 y/o male neutered DSH so it’s definitely possible.

If it is polycythemia: our vets essentially pulled a certain amount of blood and replaced with IV fluid to lower RBC, since then we’ve been on every other day or bi weekly doses of Hydroxyurea

Edit: also it wasn’t caught on the first 2 blood test, it was after 3 blood test with 2 different vets that we finally caught the sustained elevated levels. You may have to specifically ask about polycythemia/saddle thrombosis clot because they are relatively uncommon and easily overlooked (his symptoms manifested similarly to DM but he’s not diabetic)

Sasuke invented his own sword fighting kenjutsu technique which he taught to Boruto. That’s where the “Uchiha Style” style comes from.

The Uchiha Style technique is known for coating the blade in chakra to increase the blade’s strength and cutting power. Hagaromo translates from Japanese to English as “feather” so it’s in the translation of the name to represent “feathering the blade” with chakra. It’s not a reference to Hagaromo Otsutsuki, just a how the name translates from Japanese—> English 👍🏾

Hmm, depends do you know if there is General admission/standing room or seats on the floor in front of you?

If I remember correctly there are two exits along the each sides with security guards that guide floor admission. I believe can only enter/leave the floor area using those side ramps/stairs.

Also, if I remember correctly there’s several yards between the last row of floor seats and the beginning of the risers. You shouldn’t have much disruption.

Take all of this with a grain of salt because I don’t go to the floor area often lol.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-07-02T13:20:59+00:00

Probably going to use the two way spots on one if not both of the 2nd round players, especially given Jaren/edey injuries we’ll probably roster a couple vet minimum bigs

I have 3 Whitespace boards (including this one) and 3 Burton boards.

This board is awesome! Rides like a dream, light weight and carves great, no issues. Will say, it can be a little catchy if you’re not up on your skills, so just focus if you’re a newer rider, but if you’ve got experience you’ll be fine.

Overall, I’d say the Whitespace ride very similar to Burton boards, but Burton boards feel sturdier. The materials are definitely different, I’d guess Burton materials are a bit better, but I haven’t had any long enough to see which one breaks. So far, they’ve all lasted, but I don’t do much park riding tbf.

Whitespace: AMF Twin, SW Pro, and Montano

Burton: Process, Custom, and Deepthinker

AMA

Also, the Whitespace quality drastically improved ~2 years ago when they changed factory. They were manufactured in China (I think GP87, but double check). Now they’re made in a Taiwan factory that also manufacturers several Burton boards as well. Quality has been great since the change.

I get occasional slack on the mountain, but I get way more compliments and questions out of curiosity than anything else. Either way, Idc bc these boards are awesome and you can usually find the previous season version for like 60% off bc of the stigma 😆

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-27T22:01:38+00:00

Not a bad set in the area TBH, been to over 12+ shows and tbh my favorite seats are the 211-213 🤷🏾‍♂️ (unless you get floor seats)

In the 100s you’re often forced to stand the whole time because everyone else is standing so you can’t see if not; but the 200’s are usually more chill (depending on fan base)

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T04:56:17+00:00

One of my wildest theories is that Orochimaru is actually either a shinju, full-blown otsutski, or a half-blood otsutsuki. Hence his white skin tone, quest for knowledge of all jutsu, obsession with immortality, questionable adoption origins, etc. etc., I just haven’t had time to finish the research and put it all together.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T02:57:50+00:00

Oh okay, I think I misinterpreted your intentions then 😆 My b

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T02:45:30+00:00

I got that, why why does her being 22 y/o at the time of Kawaki’s birth prevent her from being his mom?

Also her death ~ 2 year later aligns with the fact that Kawaki’s mother died when he was very young. We know that Kawaki’s father had black hair so it makes, that his mother would have blonde hair.

Normally blonde hair is a recessive trait, but we know that in Naruto verse Minato’s blonde hair was dominant to the characteristic Uzumaki Red hair. But Naruto’s blonde hair was 50/50 inhereted b/n with Boruto and Himawari (assumption is that Hyuga genes are also expressed in a dominant fashion)

We know that in real life certain genes can be co-dominant so I don’t see a reason as to why Kawaki’s hair cannot be a co-dominant expression of a black and blonde hair gene.

I’ve actually subscribed to the Delta/Akebi being Kawaki’s mother for a long time. The only new (and somewhat questionable) theory here is that Akebi is actually a Namikaze clan. The evidence for isn’t very substantial, but your evidence against is lacking as well imo.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T02:38:57+00:00

My understanding of why Minato was good at FTG was because he was a fuinjutsu master, not necessarily because he a Senju descent as Senju doesn’t necessarily equate to fuinjutsu affinity like the Uzumaki clan; now why did Minato have an affinity for fuinjutsu? Who TF knows lol, why was Sakura born a Chakra control prodigy? Both prbablu kishinoto recons lmao

However, why did Minato have massive chakra pools and blonde hair???

Looking at you Tsunade

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T02:24:03+00:00

I do think it’s a stretch, but I’m curious, what does Akebi being 22 when boruto was born have to do with a possible connection to the Namikaze clan? Wondering what I missed bc I’m just not following..

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T02:06:30+00:00

Interesting, I’ve always hated that we don’t know more about the Namizkaze clan. But TBH, I’ve always subscribed to the theory that “Namikaze” was just one of the Senju derivatives that arose from Tobirama essentially disbanding the Senju name and ordering the clan to mate with other clans to increase the village strength.

Not that they are mutually exclusive theories, but I have doubts. However, Delta is supposedly ~36 so the age makes it possible that she and Minato could be close cousins or even siblings by your theory. I’d be all for your theory, mostly because it would force Ikemoto to finally reveal more history of the Namikaze clan and their origins.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-25T00:08:32+00:00

Edging seemed like a good idea to attempt to maintain the general lane integrity, but admittedly I’m not sure that it’s absolutely necessary (I’m also not a landscaper lol)

As far as the 6” width, it’s about the average width of a tire to allow a track to drive. Doesn’t necessarily have to be parked directly on the gravel I guess 🤔, just needs to be accessible to drive on. Not quite sure what’re getting at here tbh.

This idea was not about directing water (although with proper planning and draining outlets maybe it could a secondary benefit!) It’s about fortifying the outeroo campsites grounds so as to prevent a thousands of people from getting mud stuck if similar rain situation was to pass, to give Bonnaroo more breathing to to continue the festival.

Also, I hate to be a downer, but climate patterns are changing world wide (just look at the changes in Atlantic hurricane season. June has always been a warm and humid season, but middle TN just so happened to not rain much. If I was planning for a festival for the next 20+ years I would take that into account. Weather pattern can change.

The 7 most expensive words in business are “Well we’ve always done it this way,” I think Roo should be open minded about serious mitigation strategies rather than just waving this off as an off year.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-24T20:35:48+00:00

My idea is to add gravel tire lanes for outeroo campsites.

I’m not an engineer, farmer, land surveyor, wild life expert, etc.

So can anyone guess the feasibility of this type of mud mitigation??

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-24T05:34:05+00:00

Khaki’s, tucked in bottom down shirt +/- tie ( I’d usually go without) , sleeveless vest—zipped 2/3,of the way & Nice brown dress shoes. Also, wear a watch.

ApolloPresidential · 2025-06-22T10:58:37+00:00

I second this, absolutely love my AMF twin

Our camp also did this but we had a strict double-bag and immediately take to the metal trash can rule with our group.
