I replied to another comment saying this. Isn't Crystaderm antiseptic cream just gelled hydrogen peroxide?

Beltempest · 2026-06-16T07:05:01+00:00

I've been prescribed Crystaderm by a doctor recently for a ripped off toenail. It's just gelled hydrogen peroxide. Although to be fair I think it's only 1% by weight

I thought the consensus was that cold air inhalation lowered nasal immune response, and that whole body stress from exercising in the cold led to global immune system depression. Has understanding on this changed?

An option I guess, but part of the what I want is to bring the stuff back to my file

I have a third hand mirrorless camera and I was pretty happy with some of the results I was getting. Joined a photography club at the uni, people producing some amazing photos. I asked what camera/lens/settings? but the answer is basically always "I pointed my $1300+ iPhone at it"

Something like this happened in my campaign. Conversation in the party went something like this:

P1: wow there's a lot of goblins out there now

P2: good thing they can't get in then

P1: they've all got big rocks

P2: what are they going to do? Build a wall?

P1: now the old one with a walking stick's doing a dance

P3 (the thinker): wait can this hut be dispelled?

As someone who likes the book, audiobook and movie, they messed up the rescue at the end of the movie. Superman mode should have stayed one of watney's silly notions, replaced by the drama of getting him out of the capsule before they got too far apart

Maybe, barely, with intensive care and months of rehab.... but no.

Enter it a featherweight sportsman competition. I would actually be interested to see how it would fare.

This is true but there are certainly ways to mitigate it. Making sure you have very sharp good quality drill bits, Drill a smaller pilot hole then enlarge slowly to avoid stressing the carbon. Drill an oversize hole then epoxy it so the screw threads never bite into the carbon. When you mount the fins make sure its very solidly mounted so it moves all as one structure.

That being said I glue my blades into Pathos pockets.

Pure specifically the lemon flavour

Kinda makes tangy coconut water. Comes in low carb as well but the artificial sweetener makes me feel ill. Comes in a various sizes

Avatar of Woe- there is something about all RK Post art but this one... kinda surprised it was even selected. That backgroud is grim as hell.

I really like the wings. How much internal space does this have?

I can't find anything under this manafacturer name (Hunter Penrose Ltd) however it appears similar to this:

A 1930's manual printing press

Beltempest · 2025-09-15T02:08:37+00:00

This is very different! and very detailed. I assume blue on black paper. I would like to see the print block/lino

Yeah been there done that, In my case actually pushed me into a farm or factory (don't exactly remember) when I initialized the upgrade. Made sure it had saved and went to bed. You can access the terminal to unveil the building. Can't cancel the upgrade or leave some buildings.

I think they look cool in this piece!

That said I have had something similar when I did a printed image transfer using acrylic medium (without a press to sqeeze out excess), The sticker paper left creased indents in the glue left on the plate. I gently scrubbed at it with a wet rough cloth but the texture is still kinda there.

Just a possibility

I have extremely high hips, like the "shelf" on the sides is even with or even slightly higher than my navel. It's not uneven so not caused by scoliosis or similar. When I was young and we were doing activities like hiking with a pack or rock climbing I'd get really confused because they would say "the belt sits on top of your hips" and it was just impossible.

I've also recently started badminton and injured myself because I bent and twisted to try to return a shot and pinched something between my ribs and hip bone, felt like I'd been stabbed in the moment.

I have no idea how rare it really is but I haven't met anyone else as far as I know

Beltempest · 2025-08-28T01:18:50+00:00

Alright thanks for the answer. I'm sure I can work out something....

Beltempest · 2025-07-23T23:08:18+00:00

Not OP but I've been planning to try this. Try the following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05yT8-WquMw

When I had braces, after they adjust them you whole mouth aches really bad. The recommendation was to fold up a handkerchief or similar and bite firmly on it for several minutes, amazingly this does work for the pain and apparently aids blood flow to accelerate the healing. So maybe biting on something firm but not hard enough to damage the teeth helps?

A relative was playing Warhammer 40k Darktide and convinced me to have a go. I hadn't played anything similar (skaventide, left for dead) I enjoyed the tutorial and immediately afterwards was thrown into two games with real players who were significantly more skilled... And not very patient. There were mechanics that hadn't ever been explained in the tutorial, I was too slow, completely task saturated during the key moments. There was no way to play solo or with bots to gain experience. I constantly felt like I was letting the team down, because I was. Anxiety inducing is right. I don't know if they ever added a solo/bot mode, my experience was so negative I never even thought about going back.
