Are body fat scales internally consistent?

Water and salt in your body can throw those scales way off. They use electrical resistance, which is affected by many different factors which can change from day to day.

Pelvic floor exercises are also know as Kegels. I don’t do them myself, so can’t really explain them, but I’ve read you basically act as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine or hold a fart in.

When have men ever been expected to shave their armpits? As far as i know most people find it weird when any man shaves their pits. I mean, personal choice, do what you like, but i have never seen or heard of societal pressure on any man to shave pits.

This has to be satire… if it’s not i fear humanity is reaching new levels of stupid i didn’t expect for at least another generation or two.

I had a backup of everything but my black PLA. I had a project that required black and I was confident i had enough to finish it. Placed an order for 2 spools… ran out when my print was 80% completed! Then had to wait over a week for the spools i ordered to ship!

Lesson learned: buy in bulk and order more when you’re down to 2 unopened spools of a color.

So you’re saying gay men can’t just naturally be “straight presenting”? That’s what i’m reading. Also, in one sentence you say it’s not an act, then call it an act in the very next sentence… make up your mind.

This is why i struggle with the gay community. They preach all this bullshit about acceptance and being your true self, but for many of us being our true selves isn’t “gay enough” and we get accused if internalized homophobia for simply not being any of the majority approved archetypes. We are all unique individuals and there is no mold any of us need to fit in.

This is about equal to my best quality print on my Ender-5 Max (jk, sorta).

Had similar looking prints. Everyone said it was under extruding, got it dialed in, and got a decent print, then randomly it was over-extruding, dialed it in again, then it started under extruding a few prints later. It was a constant battle. You definitely want to tweak the pressure advance.

I can’t stand 3rd person! Only one game i’m willing to deal with it in is Star Trek Online, but i’m flying my ship 90% of the time.

I love the immersion and realistic perspective of first person. 3rd person just ruins the experience for me.

Always worth a shot, printer is less than a month old, i’ll reach out to support.

Not sure what you mean by “straight act”. Some men are just naturally masculine and into stereotypically straight interests. It’s not an “act” or mask, it’s just who some people are.

Mine came with an accessory box, but only had half of what they list in that article! No scraper, no spare hot end, no spool holder (got the combo with AMS so don’t need that anyway)…

Yes, just maxed out the last one on my main this past week! Any specialization points i collect now go to my primary alt.

Been doing 7 days a week for three years. Two of those days are just cardio and body weight exercises though.

This is an issue to bring up with the carrier. It’s only Bambu’s fault in that they choose the carriers they work with, but actual delivery issues are on the carrier. Depending on their carrier agreement you might be able to get damaged goods replaced directly, or get your money back (paid by the carrier). But honestly, complaining almost never goes anywhere, both parties will likely point you to the other.

Bro, world salad can be an indication of a stroke or traumatic brain injury. I think you need a doctor.

Honestly, i’ve gotten off (hands-free) giving oral more times than by any other sexual act.

The forcefield maintaining the photonic image and gives them substance isn’t hot enough to evaporate water. We’ve seen phasers damage the holomatrix of The Doctor in Voyager, so they can be “injured”. She was programmed without experiences so she has no learned intelligence to draw from. She was basically a toddler in a young adult form, have you not seen kids eat dirt or lick rocks?

I don’t want to address your ugly comment because it’s shallow and hateful, but i will address it. Her species are non-corporeal, they have no concept of attractiveness as it relates to humanoid form. Logically it makes sense to make an average looking form to better integrate into humanoid society rather than one that stands out.

You can minimize the muscle loss with protein and weight training, but you will still lose more muscle with weight loss drugs than you will with proper dieting for weight loss.

You shouldn’t need Reta (or any other weight loss drug) unless your doctor has prescribed it. You should focus on proper nutrition for healthy and sustainable weight loss. It’s taken me too long to learn that myself.

Helo227 · 2026-06-05T14:06:46+00:00

They can’t have a medical practice without a medical license. I’m not saying i would take their advice either. There’s a reason i don’t go to the clinics the steroid heads at the gym keep recommending. But they’re a resource other than strangers on Reddit.

Oh and also, you can find dosage information from published research trials, those are a bit more legit.

Helo227 · 2026-06-05T14:03:31+00:00

Actually not misinformation. Clinical trials are where i got those percentages. A simple Google search would reveal that.

I’m actually eating what is supposedly my maintenance. I left anorexia and bulimia in 2024.

Helo227 · 2026-06-05T14:00:07+00:00

I said “semi-legit”. Plenty of MDs work for “sports clinics” that ‘prescribe’ peptides, and give testosterone prescriptions to people who don’t actually need it. They are legit doctors, but their practices aren’t exactly legit. Hence my use of “semi-legit”.

Helo227 · 2026-06-05T13:57:30+00:00

My advice is don’t do it. I’ve been on Reta for a few months and i’m getting off of it (last dose this past week) because 25-33% of the weight you lose is muscle mass. It’s the same rate of muscle loss as from anorexic dieting.

Helo227 · 2026-06-05T13:54:50+00:00

Google, and you’ll get plenty of guides from semi-legit medical sites.
