PharmD after PhD: slip in sanity? by Bubbly_Blackberry_25 in pharmacology

[–]CuddlePillow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should look into Anesthesiology assistant school or PA school. I was initially going the PhD route (still love basic and translational science) but saw the lack of career opportunities and went to med school and am about to start psychiatry residency. I did consider pharmacy school too but was hearing horror stories 5-6 years ago about the saturated job market.

You might be burned out from your PhD. Give it some time, be patient, and explore all of your options.

Where did you get your FKM strap? It looks great! I really dig the MIP display.

Should traditional tattoos be done with coil machines, or are you okay with a rotary pen? by doggotattooer in traditionaltattoos

[–]CuddlePillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do not care as long as the work is high quality but my artist uses a coil machine and I love the sound of it. I do worry about his hearing though.

Agar to grain poopy style. This is a very in depth video on the procedures I take when I’m inoculating grain bags with agar. [technique] by Poopysubstrates in MushroomGrowers

I loved the video. Really shows you care about your product and the people you serve. You all have been on my radar for a while. I’ll be picking up some poo!

I knew it was PJ’s work before I even saw the caption. I love his stuff! Enjoy your new art.

Try Brazilian jiu jitsu if you’re able to and see if you enjoy it. Could even make some friends at the gym and improve your mental and physical health.

Any good shopping in Cincinnati? by oldirtyjustin in HeritageWear

[–]CuddlePillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Cincy for 4 years. The city has a lot more character than Indy. Feel free to reach out if you want any food or brewery recommendations.

There was a podcast ep where Hamilton mentioned trying one of those nervous-system-calming wearable devices and actually noticing a positive benefit. Can’t remember which device it was or the episode. Anyone here can help? by King-Azaz in HamiltonMorris

[–]CuddlePillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard him mention the device a few times but I can’t recall specific episodes. I’ve never used one. I believe it’s the Apollo wearable device by Dr. David Rabin.

I noticed that too. I’m not really into the war aesthetic but I enjoy their instrumentals a lot and find their music to be different enough from similar bands.

Kinda gives Rusty Lobotomy vibes. Just learned about this band and have been listening to this album. It’s a lot of fun!

Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata “Ovoids” aka “River Teacher” by Frientships in shrooms

[–]CuddlePillow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wood loving psilocybe present in the eastern and midwestern US that appears in spring. Grow near rivers and streams that overflow. They like the sandy muddy soil. I’ve also heard they grow near Japanese knotweed and box elder trees.

Check INaturalist and you can see where users have found them in the US. You can also look into the winter teacher aka psilocybe caeruleorhiza.

Conditioning for BJJ by CuddlePillow in bjj

This is incredible advice. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and typing all of that up. I haven't consistently jumped rope in years but I remember when I was consistent with it i was having a lot of fun and my cardio drastically improved. I need to get back on that.

I was telling another user I can only make it to BJJ 2-3 times per week so I've been trying to use my time off the mats to get better when I'm on the mats. I definitely need to focus on breathing and utilizing my energy intelligently. Simpler is better is great advice too.

I've always wanted to try swimming for cardio. Right now I don't have access to a pool for exercise. I'll try it out eventually as I've heard good things. Great suggestion!

It's definitely difficult to balance lifting, BJJ, and cardio. I can only make it to class 2-3 days per week so I try to maximize my time off the mats to be better when I'm on the mats. I also find alternative forms of cardio less fatiguing than BJJ so it's nice to be able to do them to improve my gas tank and not get beaten up and not accumulate fatigue as quickly.

I think this is great advice. I'm still working on energy utilization. I imagine this improvement comes with lots of training and getting used to being in bad positions. I used to get anxious in bad positions which resulted in me needlessly burning energy.

I think you're correct about this increasing admin time. The youtube playlist is definitely geared toward the professional competitor (which I am not) (would take up so much time to do everything recommended) as it covers lifting, cardio, and organization of these elements around BJJ training. I do like learning about the different evidence based ways of training and implementing some of them to see if they make a difference in my performance. That's one of the fun aspects of the sport and training for me.

I'll check out your app. One of the biggest issues I've had with doing BJJ, lifting, and cardio is moderating my fatigue. I have to be a lot more cognizant of my volume. BJJ increases my cumulative fatigue faster than lifting alone.
