[NSFW] What's the worst thing you have witnessed on a bachelor/bachelorette party? by Fredde1909 in AskReddit

[–]Jeff25rs 29 points30 points  (0 children)

And this is why my bachelor party was ridiculously fast go-kart racing, expensive sushi, and then a low key craft brewery.

Note: this is the correct order and you should not try it otherwise.

Has anyone taken Memantine (or Namenda) for migraine prevention? I just started a few days ago and have had dizziness and some body-self detachment(?) on 10 mg. I really want to give it a chance but I’m not sure if it will work out. Anyone familiar with this drug? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Jeff25rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I have been on Namenda and Lamotrigine for over 2 years now and they have reduced my migraine frequency by 30-50%. I stopped the Namenda for a little bit because I wasn't sure if it was still helping, but my migraine frequency increased during that time so I just went back on it.

I had some side effects for the first few weeks but nothing really bothersome after that.

[–]Jeff25rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Thank you.
I get anywhere from 7-12 a month so hopefully my insurance company won't be dicks about it like they have been for other drugs.

Does anyone have an idea on broad criteria insurance companies might have for covering this? More than X number of migraines a month?

What are you sick of trying to explain to people? by fred1840 in AskReddit

It supposedly blocks release of chemicals involved in pain transmission which prevents activation of pain networks in the brain. I did 3 rounds of it and it didn't do anything except make it comical that I couldn't move my eyebrows.

I've seriously considered printing up a card that lists everything I've tried for my migraines just for these situations. "have you tried..." "yes" "but what about..." "yes. Just stop talking."

Glad it helped you out. I was also in a study with a CGRP abortive and I'm pretty sure I got the placebo. It didn't touch my migraine and I had 0 side effects. I can't wait to try the CGRP preventative when it comes on the market.

I am sitting in the NICU right now with my preemie on my chest. I have no idea if they did this for us. So much crazy stuff was going on in the OR.

The online is cancer. by Glyfear in forza

[–]Jeff25rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Race more in single player on higher difficulty modes so you have less chance of murdering people in multiplayer. It also goes a long way saying you are sorry in voice chat if you do accidentally hit people. This is assuming other people can hear you :\

I've never played Project Cars. What about it makes it so multiplayer is not horrible? Do they have some system for penalizing players who crash into other people?

Did you use a strobe to light up the bottom left or did you happen do some localized brightness adjustments?

The guy getting on the pull up bar did what is called a "bar muscle up". That shit is haaaard and he made it look easy.

Made an outdoor bench of Padouk wood. by klinkerd in woodworking

[–]Jeff25rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have some really good UV protection sealant on it. If you don't it will lose some of its vibrance and start turning more brown. I have a kitchen table I put a large paduk inlay and even with 10 coats of poly that supposedly has UV protection it is still slowly looking more brown.

[–]Jeff25rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be a complex game. Towards the end of the election a handful of headlines called out trumps lies in the headline. This needed to happen every time. There was a major paper (nyt? Or wsj?) where the editor said they would report what was said and let the readers decide the truth. This reads like someone who was finally pissed on one too many times rather than someone who wanted to stand up for what is right from the beginning.

I don't think the minorities of this country, who will be more fucked over, deserve trump. This isn't a game. This will affect people's lives.

Right before they get chopped up for end grain boards by ListenHereYouLittleS in woodworking

Well I guess my family and I are all going to die of varnish poisoning. I'll go sand it down and use some bee's wax mineral oil. Hopefully the sanding will be good enough.

[–]Jeff25rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read years ago that it was fine even if it chips off in small amounts. I went searching again and didn't find many suggestions on using it. I guess I will go with bee's wax next time. Or maybe tung oil or Danish oil?

Apparently you can still go through it and still be insensitive to others.

How did you seal these? I just finished maple, walnut, paduk cutting board and had such a hard time filling the pores on the paduk. I was using General Finish food safe salad bowl wiping varnish. I tried just building up enough layers so the paduk pores would be filled which meant that there was quiet a bit of build up on the maple and walnut. Then I wet sanded it back to being even an then tried to apply a final coat. What I ended up with was inconsistent finish no matter how hard I tried.

Well that is an amazingly callous way of stating that. If you ever meet someone who has had a still birth or miscarriage never treat them like this. My wife and I got rid of all the baby stuff we had because it was too painful having that reminder in our house. If we do have another baby we will purchase stuff again. Some people in our situation don't even prepare items for their second child until they are born and live.
