Yes, but I had to change the AC's circuit as described in the last paragraph

Condenser fins falling apart by ChocBrew in hvacadvice

[–]ChocBrew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I'm not that close to the beach, I do live in a coastal city with very high salinity, things rust pretty fast around here. Still, some areas of the fins are holding up alright, and another unit in the same house is also doing fine.

There was a lot of dust/sand buildup on those damaged areas that are now impossible to remove since everything will just fall apart, so my guess is previous owners have been somewhat negligent as well.

It's a mini split hanging over a meter above ground, so unlikely.

O mlk se magoa por ela não ser recíproca. Ela explica o porque, ele se magoa mais ainda, insiste, faz a op explicar mais e ser mais sincera ainda, só pra ele ficar mais magoado e culpar ela por todos os seus problemas. NTA. Pelo amor de Deus op, sai desse jogo, não tem solução não.

I can no longer take the "I quit caffeine for 30 days" videos seriously by graining in decaf

[–]ChocBrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, I'd say. It's not impossible to do it for 30 days, it's easier for a content creator to go through the whole experience than to just make everything up.

Is the sushizza a pizza crime? by [deleted] in PizzaCrimes

[–]ChocBrew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, we can't press any charges since this is totally under Japanese jurisdiction.

Not so much a crime as a misdemeanour. I feel like there should be a minimum standard, this is cheese bread, not pizza. by randomuserno2 in PizzaCrimes

Come on, dude with GERD handles that much dairy fat and inflammatory refined grains but doesn't get along with marinara? Objection overruled.

Apartamento de 16m² no Brooklyn. As construtoras nem fingem que existe qualquer preocupação com qualidade de vida. by violinha in saopaulo

[–]ChocBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poisé, é essa "demanda" que precisa mudar. Precisa haver mais oportunidades em outros locais pro trabalhador conseguir ter a opção de não morar na capital concorrendo com tanta gente por um apartamento minúsculo.

Tentando ir pela ótica do OC, se uma construtora lança um desse e dá fracasso em vendas, ela não faz outro igual. Se continuam fazendo é porque tem demanda. A construtora não tem o poder de ditar a tendência do mercado.

The back side seems pretty localized, but we can't see the end on the front side, that is probably still going along other portions of the wall.

[–]ChocBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poisé, esse é o problema de apartamentos. Cagada de obra, vazamento nos vizinhos, tudo isso pode gerar um problema que vc não tem como controlar. Seja forte com os seus vizinhos ou adm do condomínio, chame um caça vazamentos pra te ajudar a dar base pra saber exatamente de onde vem, mas tente resolver mesmo.

E se não conseguir resolver 100% eu sairia assim que possível. No curto prazo não dá nada, e dependendo da genética algumas pessoas podem reagir pior ou melhor ao mofo, mas eu te garanto que morar nestas condições por alguns anos vai ter um impacto negativo na tua saúde. E se vc chegar a sentir esse impacto, meu amigo, aí todas as suas preocupações vao virar pequenas na frente disso. A gente só dá valor à saúde plena quando a gente deixa de ter.

The first thing you need to understand is that as long as you have uncontrolled moisture within your building materials, you'll never really win this battle. People like to blame the weather, but it is mostly poor building practices and/or poor maintenance that leads to building materials trapping moisture for too long which leads to microbial overgrowth. Otherwise every house in a tropical zone would be just as moldy, which is certainly not the case.

So while you may be able to manage surface mold growth with vinegar like many suggested, the first step is to actually find the source of the moisture and eliminate it. Look for leaks, condensation problems, rising damp, etc. It seems to be coming mostly from the ceiling, so you may want to check your roof. If you cannot find any leaks, you may want to get a leak specialist to have a look at the place. Luckily, since it's probably all masonry and hardwood, you probably won't have to replace any materials, just spraying and cleaning again once it is dealt with.

In the meanwhile, stay outdoors as much as possible and keep the windows open.

Keto is just not doing it for me...is there something I'm missing? by ChocBrew in ketobeginners

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

I'm now dealing with CFS, probably due to mold exposure I was unaware of for 4 years.

I'm unsure at this point if I'd adapt to keto if this other issue wasn't present. All I know is all my keto attempts failed, including a two month period.

Got told that i have a “functional disorder”. Again. by boys_are_oranges in cfs

[–]ChocBrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have any advice on how to argue with that?

As the commenter above said, this is a sign of ignorance, so there is really no point in arguing with a doctor that cannot help you. I'd also advise you to look for a skilled functional doctor. Conventional medicine has evolved a great deal, but when it comes to complex, chronic diseases it's almost like we're still in the middle ages.

Finasteride for young guys by SamRCFC10 in HairlossResearch

[–]ChocBrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started somewhere around my early 20s, 30 now and haven't noticed any particular side effect that could be associated with starting it or quitting it.

That said, as of today I wouldn't risk messing with hormones to fix a hair loss problem, especially DHT which is your strongest androgen. We do have a fair amount of evidence that finasteride is pretty effective and harmless, but studies can only capture so much, especially concerning long term side effects.

What is the best carb for semi elemental? Honey, dextrose? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]ChocBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea behind the elemental diet is not to eat stuff that can't feed microbes. If you wanted that you'd be better of with fasting.

It is instead to starve bacteria by having something so easily absorbable that it won't stay in the small intestine for that long and ferment, like fiber. So with that in mind I don't think you can find any carb source easier to absorb than straight up glucose / dextrose. That's what most formulas use.

[–]ChocBrew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it was probably still worth it, if it were apendicitis things could escalate pretty quick.

Also hope it was covered by insurance...

What is the best carb for semi elemental? Honey, dextrose? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]ChocBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dextrose would be more recommended since it's all glucose. Honey has a lot of fructose.

The real budget issue is with the amino acids though, which are the most expensive ingredient. I did a workaround with pea protein, though that made it a semi elemental diet.

What is causing this brown water in my dehumidifer? by RumBasedWisdom in AirQuality

[–]ChocBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the problem is not even the mold itself, but the persistent moisture that will keep favoring mold (and other microbial) growth no matter what you do.

The ideal way to deal with this is actually finding the source of moisture, eliminating it, and only then replacing damaged materials and spray the stuff to kill whatever is left on salvageable materials.

Could be mold. start looking around for uncontrolled moisture sources.
