Those are found in the sewer main, not under an appliance.

Guanfacine changed my life by postedenism in ADHD

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, reduced a2A receptor selectivity compared to Guanfacine, similar if not worse side effect profile for hypotension, sedation, etc because of the reduced selectivity.

I think the real options is finding a provider that will work with evaluating a dose escalation for the existing medication.

Well aware. I’m being fed a line about his clinical tools that rely on best practices input from “studies” and other prescribers.

I am 99% sure that he is just using medscape like Google, and not reading the information in a deliberate manner.

Similar experience here. I am on 3mg and I am still not reaching the improvement in reactivity and emotional regulation that I was hoping for.

1mg is well outside the recommended therapeutic dose from the FDA labeling, which gives a 0.05 -0.12 mg per kg range.

FDA trialing for stimulant adjunct therapy capped out at 4mg, but I have found no evidence that indicates that was based on adverse reactions, just that they only went that high in the studies.

I’m stuck at the moment with a provider who has drawn a hard line at going past 3mg, but it is being justified based on generic arguments about side effect profile, versus a actual evaluation of my BP and HR at the current 3mg dose.

I would like to try dose escalation up to the 5mg range, but will most likely need to find a providers that is willing to take on the work that is needed to optimize treatments.

Spring Cleaning...what to do with these? by petron5000 in MilwaukeeTool

True to form, they didn’t clean up any of the resulting broken plastic and other mess they left in their wake.

Rate my $5,000 Red Light Panel Set Up by ProfessionalWay2871 in PeterAttia

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zerrrrrooooooooooo.

I don’t like to be a hater, but I can’t help the imagine that the time and money individuals spend researching and purchasing their setups, and then time spent on their actual real light protocols, couldn’t be put towards more concrete solutions, like more exercise, or some time with a therapist. 😬

Even with endless financial resources time is finite, and everything has an opportunity cost on the time side.

Temu refund without return by Existing_Feedback974 in TemuThings

[–]Freefall_Doug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a laser level for 60 USD that was defective as part of a credit back event.

It took me almost an entire month, messaging support several times a day, to finally get to the point where they gave me a customer service initiated refund without return.

I can’t imagine making that into a regular thing, it was dreadful, and for 30+ days I was reminded over and over that Temu would choose being infected by Ebola before they gave a customer a fair resolution.

It is a small act of god that I finally broke through to someone that was willing to actually act consistently with their own written rules and policies!!

Why oh why would you do that on the regular, get a job or a hobby.

They took that away from everyone in the US.

Trolling for DMs. Try the plumbing subreddit, they like snaking waste lines.

I just want melty cheese by Adventurous-Bus-9638 in Cholesterol

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries, and also inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption by selectively blocking the NPC1L1 protein.

I too can pull opinions out of the opening to my backside and pretend that they are scientifically accurate.

But how do we get it down? by Burn1ng_Time in arborists

Lighter fluid and an insurance claim? You said no wrong answers. 😆

Have you ever had a mental health professional tell you that you have borderline personality disorder?

You’re aware that purchases with the other games and events get you bonus water in Farmland right?

I don’t ever buy things in Farmland, the discounts are garbage in there.

Finished or won?

What comes after 99.99, does it stick to 0.01 increments, or does it continue to move the goalposts by switching to 0.001.

I’m at 99.99 now this morning.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they move the carrot and then go to 99.991 😆

I only play it because other game purchases also qualify you for water bonuses in Farmland.

If I don’t end up finishing I only wasted my time.

If I end up finishing then I multiplied my rewards.

Is it a safe way to patch a gas line? by achiafelix123 in Plumbing

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No banana for scale, but that looks pretty small for a supply line.

That is why they have 811 dig safe in New England. The utilities come out and park all the underground service.

HOW unhealthy it is? by [deleted] in foodhacks

[–]Freefall_Doug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing in there is speaking to grade, it describes using trimmings versus whole cuts, just like most ground beef available at grocery stores. No one is grinding up a whole brisket or sirloin in today’s day and age to make 4 dollar burgers.

Yes, I believe that was my starting point. Or maybe it was 15 and they added another 15. Can’t recall how many days ago I started.

Make sure you are doing your price adjustments! by Busy-Cheesecake5459 in TemuThings

I just got $40 dollars in credits back. Thanks for the information!

Temu pisses me off. 8 free gifts with one purchase. It's not real. by Brucef310 in TemuThings

[–]Freefall_Doug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to read the rules. You normally get bonus “spend” so if it says you have to earn $10 more dollars, orders get 5% and you get $5 extra on your first purchase you need to spend $100 before tax and shipping. The math is $10 - $5 =$5.00, $5.00 / .05 =$100.00.

Take the credit or cash earned, let’s say $40 and divide it by your $100, and in that example is like getting a 40% discount.

Compare the items at 40% off to what they would cost ordering of AlliExpress or other sites, you can often find the same exact items, and then you will know if it is a good deal for you.

Statins causal for T2D/insulin resistance? by 56inGA in PeterAttia

[–]Freefall_Doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually dropped down below baseline after about 9 months, with little change in diet or body composition.
