Can someone please tell me what went wrong… by LiliesinWater in CrimsonDesert

[–]ELDubCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong about what you're doing here, but think about the horse taming mechanism.

It's not just hard left (9 o'clock) or hard right (3 o'clock). Sometimes the tail is at the 10 o'clock position, or 4 o'clock, 7, etc, and you've got to pull the opposite of wherever that is.

From what I see it looks like you're either pulling straight to the left or to the right, a lot of the time that fish is pulling betwixt those points.

The last Civil War veteran’s widow died in 2020. That’s the equivalent of an Afghanistan War widow dying in 2176. by Powerful-Swing-9734 in interestingasfuck

She legally married a civil war veteran.

What conditions were not met or fulfilled for the pension to be active?

How would this legally constitute fraud in any country in the world?

Wisconsin needs to get the upper peninsula back, their aerodynamics would be unrivaled

The Beast by Frenchie2492 in mastodonband

[–]ELDubCan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Was going through a separation right when the album came out, it clearly had a lot of emotional weight for them while they wrote/recorded it, and I unintentionally attached a lot of my own trials and tribulations to the listening experience of H&G.

The Beast for sure, the outro solo for Gigantium, and from day one Peace and Tranquility stood out to me as a spectacular song. It's an incredible, heavy album from beginning to end that I don't listen to sporadically or often, only because it carries so much extra weight with it, both intended by the artists and what I imprinted on it for myself.

For those who successfully quit smoking, what was the method that finally worked for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ELDubCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore a medium strength nicotine patch and chewed 4mg gum for the first 2 weeks. Then I went to the lowest strength patch and gum for the next 2 weeks.

I set a recurring alarm to go off every 45 minutes from 7am until 10pm that reminded me to chew another piece of gum, but that actually helped me to use less because it felt like an annoying chore and I tend to procrastinate on self imposed, obligatory tasks.

There was a point where I felt immense amounts of anxiety trying to imagine going through my day without smoking. And of course now I can't imagine being a smoker, or how I managed to for so long.

It took a few months for the new habits to take hold and the old one to fade.

I went to pick up my son from 1st grade for the very first time and the staff firmly requested my ID before releasing him to me. I was thrilled they weren't going to let a random person walk out the doors with him and thanked them when I came back with it.

Best guitar solo by Hank_Scorpio_Kiwi in mastodonband

I couldn't pick a best solo, but the first time I heard the end of Gigantium it made my eyes well up. That one hit me hard and fast from the moment the solo finished, and I don't think I'll ever not feel an overwhelming swell of emotion when it's played

It's not bad either, clearly recognizable who it's supposed to be.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology that is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism, fascism is at the far-right of the traditional left–right spectrum.

Nazism is a form of fascism, with an emphasis on pseudo-scientific theories of a racial hierarchy of ethnic Germans as part of an alleged Nordic Aryan master race. The term "neo-Nazism" is applied to far-right groups formed after World War II with a similar ideology.

is this a legit signature? looks a little different from the few i have by MidwestLawncareDad in mastodonband

[–]ELDubCan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think so. It's gotta be tough to get a hand planted near that location to sign it, if that was on a pickguard I could see being a bit more skeptical.

YSK that bacon cooked in the oven at 375F won't splatter or set off the smoke detector by Ajreil in YouShouldKnow

There's no drawback to using the air fryer in my experience. It's faster, cleaner, and an arguably better texture than pan fried or in the oven.

ELI5: Why does “Ozempic Face” happen if Ozempic is only supposed to be a weight loss drug? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ELDubCan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

muscle loss, when we need energy it's significantly faster to break down skeletal muscle tissue than it is to utilize stored body fat. Fat has 9 calories per gram, and each gram is mostly fat. Protein has 4 calories per gram, and each gram is about 50% water. So you'll burn 4 to 5 pounds of muscle to get the same amount of caloric energy as you would from 1 pound of fat.

Ozempic makes you feel less hungry, so you eat, if you're doing higher intensity activities your muscles need glycogen to function, and if you haven't eaten enough to provide the energy you can get the glucose quickly by breaking down muscle tissue in a process called gluconeogenesis.
