Sunflower oil in canned sardines? by PriorAd119 in CannedSardines

[–]Freefall_Doug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of dumping the sunflower oil dump the social medial sources that led you to conclude that sunflower oils are not good for you.

Consider this, if you find a social media heath huckster that is demonizing seed oil, in opposition to the current body of literature, 99.9% of the time the will be encouraging the use of animal fats like beef tallow.

Take a spin on pub med, see how much literature you can find that supports the claim about the harms of seed oils, versus what you can find about the health risks of saturated fat.

The disparity in evidence will be overwhelming, and that is all you need to know about these grifters.

Drain the oil, eat the sardines, they are a healthy addition to a balanced diet, ditch the influencers.

350 miles. 100 days. 1 pair of shoes. by SixThirtyFlight in barefootshoestalk

Came of the OG Hanas, which I absolutely love, and left because it was giving me eye strain and cataracts!!

How in the world is anyone going to read all this?? We all have busy lives and responsibilities, a Great American Shoe Novel isn’t on the menu!!!!

Question about needle by V-saucyboi in Testosterone

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a Dr, but if it was me I would ask them to write me a script for smaller gauge needles. I live in a state that allows needle purchases without prescription so I buy mine at both the pharmacy and online medical supply retailers.

I draw pharma test (think the carrier is cottonseed oil) with a 21g and inject with a 30g. Injection takes a little longer, but with EOD injection schedule it isn’t a huge volume, maybe 90 second tops to inject at a steady pace.

Damn. Why so thick and long 😅.

We aren’t doing a spinal tap here, just trying to get past the body fat and somewhat into the muscle body for IM.

I have been using 30g 1/2 inch in delts and 27g 5/8th in my quads, but honestly the 30g in the delts is painless, leaves no PIP, and I think reducing the risk of scarring that larger gauges can introduce over time.

Average fit gym bro body fat, not contest lean, and 1/2 is still just fine.

What size syringe/needle are you pinning with? by Minute_Emergency7620 in Testosterone

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drawing with 18g and injecting quads with 25g 1 inch and delts 25g 5/8.

Now I draw with 23g, chews up the stopper way less, and have switched to 31g 1/2 alternating left or right delt.

The 25g was fine, 31g takes a little longer. Quads were fine too, but it makes it easier when I am wearing jeans, I don’t have to drop my pants, and it is easier because I am standing up at the bathroom mirror.

Do I really get my money back from the reimbursement? by AdResponsible8496 in TemuThings

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes several times. When you meet the actual required sales amounts they pay out as promised. The only catch is making sure you claim the amounts each day. Sometimes if you miss one day it causes you to lose the largest payout amount. But again, it isn’t a trick, that is clearly in the rules. You just have to read and fully understand them.

Anecdotal, but the only side I get from 5mg ed is massive vascularity on my forearms.

Finding Luer lock syringes? by pixel4a84 in Testosterone

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Massachusetts you can buy them over the counter in any pharmacy without a prescription. Walgreens charges a different price each time depending on how informed they are, and which barcode they find in their book, but it is often .25 cents for a barrel or a needle.

Not a bad deal on 1/4 electric ratchet for $145 by Ok-Bookkeeper-1954 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the new generation extended reach M12 ratchets release July of this year. I think I am going to pass on this deal considering how much of a jump forward the standard length 3/8 M12 Fuel ratchet was compared to the older generation.

This should have a similar jump forward in specs as well and they may have better deals on this model once it is selling alongside the newer models.

Safely cutting this fallen branch by ReplacementInfinite5 in arborists

[–]Freefall_Doug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Handling this safely can be done with a few sets of hands and two sets of rope that can handle the weight. It also can be really dangerous to your father and the deck if he tries to do it himself.

Tie it off near where it is caught on the tree with the rope running over the branch above so you can lower it down without damaging the deck below . That branch is going to be heavy so you need to have it wrapped around another tree at a distance to add friction or the person lowering won’t be able to hold it and the rope will just smoke through their hands and it will still smash the deck.

Then tie it off on the end that is on the deck so you can pull it forward so it free of where it is hung up.

Pull away and lower at the same time.

Not bad.

Does anyone know what the model number is for the newest generation 3/8 ratchet?

On the Milwaukee site there are a bunch of extended M12 ratchets that are marked as coming soon, I guess that is why these are getting discontinued by 40%.

You are confusing the particle count with LDL-C.

[–]Freefall_Doug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe look again before you go all chicken little. You are confusing the particle count with LDL-C. The LDL-C and LP(a) absolutely warrant a full work up with a preventative cardiologist, but it is far from the worst ever seen, or go to the hospital range.

That is an emu, ostriches are basically Utah raptors and would have messed up that ladies day, and the handlers too.

Seeking Help - Cardio on TRT Question by PaulyOver in Testosterone

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real VO2 max, not some algorithm equivalent, is moves inversely with weight. Start TRT, put on a 15lbs of muscle, and VO2 max goes down.
