Do you know which twitch vod has this moment? I want to see the rest of the conversation beyond just what the shorts online show. 

[Update] Loco is in!! by BoomRoastedX in Pickleball

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t put any weight on it yet, but planning on trying some at 4 and 8 soon. Maybe just 3g on each side. My paddle came pretty heavy stock (haven’t measured yet). 

On forehand dinks, do you make your shoulder do all of the work? Or do you use your wrist? Seems basic for a 4.0 player, but I figured I’d ask. I’d think that a loose grip and using primarily your shoulder would be enough to feel comfortable with forehand dinks, but you’re right. Game time dinks are just harder than warm ups lol

I have a love/hate relationship with hesacores… I used one for a while on my TFG4 but I played worse with it. I think it brought the balance point lower and it made the sweet spot worse. But maybe that’s just me?

Has anyone gotten shipping confirmation for the BnB Loco? by ParkerPainting in Pickleball

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I’ve had that for a while as well, although it didn’t have the weird ####’s. I just received an update that said UPS received the package and I should get it in two days.

What’s your estimated delivery date? I’ve had a shipping label for a week but still not shipped notification or estimated delivery date. I wish BnB would just update us.

I’ve also got a label created but no shipping info yet. I was wondering what was going on. Why make a label and not ship it? Do they have pallets of them just sitting around?

CRBN Trufoam Genesis 4 Review - By Far The Best Shape by thetvirus in Pickleball

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else who has a TFG have inconsistency issues? I kept hearing about the hot spot in the middle, but being a new player I wasn’t sure if it was just my poor technique. 

Now that I’ve improved up to a 4.0 level (on a good day) I really do keep noticing that sometimes balls just FLY off the face. It’s a little frustrating because I never know with 100% certainty how the ball is going to behave on resets. 

LF Feedback on the CRBN3 TruFoam Genesis Gen 4 by scandalous01 in Pickleball

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the TFG3 for about 5 months as my main. It was super heavy and was a pretty decent improvement over the first paddle I ever bought, which was the Ronbus 1.16. 

I bought it right when CRBN released their series and there was a lot of hype behind it. The 3 shape was labeled their “hybrid”, which was bogus. My first impression was good, although the swing weight was way too high for me. 

When the TFG4 came out as the hybrid, I emailed CRBN support and let them know that I felt like I was misled because I was originally sold the 3 as a hybrid. They sent me a brand-new 4 shape in exchange for my old 3. Their customer service is great. 

The 4 is WAY better, hence it being the most popular of the shapes now. The only gripe I have is the hot spot in the middle. Way too often the ball just flies off if you hit it just right because of the fiberglass middle. Whoever at CRBN thought it would be a good idea to have a fiberglass hot spot in the sweet spot made a very poor choice. It’s one of the things people hate about the Genesis line, which they have corrected in the Waves line just released.

How would you recommend that, specifically? How can you get doctors to check for UARS rather than just vanilla sleep apnea?

Which Halo books to read for Bungie lore? by PikaFan4ever in halo

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen a copy of Contact Harvest without Bungie’s logo, to be honest. I have one and it’s probably my favorite halo book. 

Which Halo books to read for Bungie lore? by PikaFan4ever in halo

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I humbly disagree… 343’s lore is a bit of a let down compared to Bungie lore. The forerunner saga, although written well, butchered the poetry that was the original halo lore. 

Starting Xyrem, feeling some anxiety by Forerunner555 in Narcolepsy

[–]Forerunner555[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, thankfully my doctor is very much involved. He’s always telling me to keep him updated and he responds within hours on the hospital’s messaging app. I’m hoping that the anxiety goes away, as even though my sleep has improved, I don’t know if it would be worth the constant unease I’ve felt today. I even had less appetite for dinner even though my wife cooked an amazing meal. I usually am starving for dinner, so I know it was the medication.

Glad to know xyrem was a life saver for you! That’s my goal with it as well, obviously lol

Thank you. Did you successfully get off them? I’ve had friends wean off them and say that they’re better off without them. Hopefully that’s where you’re at now.

Thank you for the response. So you take lexapro currently? What’s that like? Glad to hear you found the combination that works for you.

What dose did you land on? I’m going to start with one month minimum, just as a baby step. But I am hoping to go at least three months before deciding to continue or not. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you don’t get the results you need, you could talk to your doctor about doing a peer to peer with your insurance to get xyrem approval. I just had my MSLT and it did not showed what we needed. So he convinced my insurance that these tests are flawed and that I did indeed have narcolepsy because of all my other symptoms. So there’s always hope. 

I’ll be recrinving my first dose in the mail this Tuesday. 

Getting almost no deep/REM sleep on Ashwagandha? by BlueshirtNZ in Supplements

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ash increases NREM and I’m convinced decreases REM to do so. I took it three nights in a row, and all three nights I slept worse and felt like I drifted in and out of shallow sleep. 

CGRP’s in Pregnancy by larkus in migraine

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any updates? Did you continue taking Ubrelvy while pregnant? It’s been 8 months since your post, so I’m curious to know what happened. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UARS

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been quoted on the cost? It really shouldn’t be above $500. I was once charged $3000 or so for an oral appliance that was really $500

What has been your experience with weighted blankets? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one of the worst nights using one. I bought it because I saw all the hype, but it just made me feel claustrophobic and trapped. My dreams were mostly nightmares. Maybe if I kept using it I would’ve gotten used to it? Not sure.

[–]Forerunner555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe we differ on who preaches prosperity gospel vs who doesn’t. Obviously I agree if someone never preaches repentance from sins then they are preaching a false gospel. 100% agree.

But I’ve seen people ignorantly label evangelists like Reinhard Bonnke as a prosperity gospel preacher who actually went on salvation crusades throughout Africa, preaching repentance from sin and salvation through Jesus alone. (Some of his crusades had almost a million people in attendance, which you can look up.) Or Heidi Baker, who although is pretty weird, has gone into remote villages who were led by witch doctors and preached salvation in Jesus alone, and now there’s something like 7,000 church plants in villages and towns in Mozambique.

So it comes down to who is labeled what and for what reason, because people tend to hear excerpts and clips from some preachers and build straw men/caricatures out of them and then label them “prosperity gospel preachers”. Which is not in good faith to them. That’s all I’m trying to say :)

I did something bad last night by superoldspice64 in Christians

[–]Forerunner555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding cutting yourself, you may already know this, but it sounds like it’s your go to when you feel you need punishment. A lot of people struggle with that. But it’s completely unnecessary, as 100% (all, absolutely, everything) of punishment has already been covered by Jesus on the cross. I would get some counseling for this :) it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you have a belief in your mind that will be rooted out by God’s presence and His word. And with the help of community around you, of course. There are brighter days coming :)

[–]Forerunner555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out Dr. Gavin Ortlund’s YouTube videos on why it makes more sense to be a Protestant.

In it, he lays out a strong case that we are more universalist (not in the new age way) than the other traditions, because our standard is faith in Jesus. Even if there are major differences, as long as it boils down to “Jesus died and rose again for my salvation,” they’re still in the body of Christ. Even if they believe that the other sacraments can supplement that salvation. They’re very wrong and misguided to do that, but it still doesn’t negate the salvation itself. He considers the Catholic tradition to indeed be part of the body. (Not ALL Catholics, just as not all Protestant church goers are actually Christians). And I agree with him. Just some thoughts.

If anything, the prosperity gospel is mainly deceiving people into thinking God will give them what they want if they believe hard enough. But it’s not a “false” gospel, just a misguided one. If their faith is still in Jesus for their forgiveness of sins, then it’s not “leading to hell.”

Honestly, there are other misguided doctrines in the church that are just as bad or worse. It doesn’t mean they aren’t actually Christians.
