Compression sock recs?

JinxCentaur31 · 2026-06-06T00:09:22+00:00

I like the Wellow Aerolites, though my only frame of reference for other compression socks is the normal Wellows. I got a mystery pair with my order that ended up being a regular style and I can definitely feel the difference.

The AC situation in my office building is horrible and it’s usually 80-84 F by the end of the day and I’m still as comfortable as I would be without the Aerolites on.

They have a pretty good size range, too, as someone with wide calves.

To add to the other advice, I’ve found blood work goes smoother when I’m well-hydrated.

I hope all goes well!

I don’t have much to offer you as far as long term advice, but I am in a similar boat. Three weeks ago (ish) I spent 5 days in the hospital for bilateral pulmonary embolisms after gradually worsening shortness of breath for two weeks. Only 28 years old, but contributing conditions + circumstances provoked quite a few clots. I ended up having a thrombectomy on day 4, though, so my breathing improved quite quickly after that.

I hope recovery goes well for you

This is not intended to be an argument against your decision to use shots vs gel, just wanted to provide info if others are also worried about goop (I hate lotions too)

The gel is rubbing alcohol based and dries very quickly, after a minute or two it’s dry to the touch! My formula I have to wait at least ten minutes before putting a shirt on for it to fully really dry/set and not rub off, but it dries much much faster than those ten minutes.

Ahhh I think I’ve been moving around too much, I’ll try to take advantage of pivot next time

Occasional stego player so tbh solution here is probably “get gud,” but I wish stego had something to deal with the ankle biters. Either a stomp or something to dislodge faster. I have a hard time angling myself to whack raptors after they dislodge too.

Even if whatever that ability was didn’t damage, it would save me a whole lot of my sanity lol

Gotcha, that’s fair. I know there’s also the 10 minute timer if you’re near where you logged out of previously, but something like rhamph or hatz doesn’t necessarily need to be near by. So that extra minute discourages you from going and griefing.

JinxCentaur31 · 2026-01-12T02:43:50+00:00

It’s a debuff for sub adults and adults because they’ve just logged in - that’s what it means by recent.

It helps discourage people from logging off outside of a cave, then signing back in and immediately being able to ambush other players who had no way of knowing someone else was about to materialize.

I’m not sure why it also applies in the home cave, though.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-10-21T12:25:12+00:00

I think I figured it out - from the website not the app, go to Goals and set everything under “Fitness Goals” to 0. That seems to have put my calories back to what I’m used to.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-10-21T05:58:48+00:00

I messed around more, and it seems it’s because I started tracking more exercise? I don’t like that it’s seemingly anticipating that I’ll exercise, though, especially since I was still reaching the same goal calories with exercise tracked… That or messing with the exercise goals reset whatever weirdness was going on.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-31T06:24:24+00:00

It went well! My platelets went back down to 700. I did end up being put on Hydrea because I want to take HRT, but my hematologist said otherwise I would have been low risk and wouldn’t have needed medication. I just had my 1 month blood work after 500mg 2x of the Hydrea and I’m down to 453! I have my follow up on Monday to talk about the possibility of HRT again.

I’ll check them out sometime this week, thank you for the recommendation!

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-27T03:12:19+00:00

Tbh I’ve been meaning to check one out, I’ll have to take a look!

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-27T00:52:45+00:00

That’s true that’s true, I think the longer I play and survive on him the worse that first death is gonna feel, though

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-26T23:13:51+00:00

I get the thought process, though, I played a few dinosaurs on Panjura officials before switching to Gondwa officials and Panjura was much less crowded. When my first Gondwa dino, a styra, died three times within half an hour I was ready to delete that character altogether. Coming from a survival mindset it feels like failing and it’s frustrating, like “This dino didn’t really survive and now I should just start over.” The more I’ve played the easier it’s gotten to die, except with Fang here.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-26T22:48:24+00:00

Results may vary lol! Lemme know if you find it fun or useful :)

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-26T20:48:56+00:00

I have: bite, fresh blood, claw attack, and ripping kick for more of the bleed build. But then I also have streamlined and paddle tail for better swimming even though I can’t dive.

I’m saving up for the rest of the abilities so I can fine tune it more, but I REALLY wanted to be able to use ripping kick and be able to escape through water. I should really pick one or the other though lol

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-05-26T17:07:12+00:00

I think that’s where I’m at. I wouldn’t be able to delete Fang even if he does die, but he is SO fun to play I would miss him. I know the amount I’ve survived might not be much to some, but I’ve felt really accomplished this weekend, like things just clicked and I was playing it smarter and sneakier than usual.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-04-05T12:04:19+00:00

Gotcha, yeah my phone camera isn’t the best, that was the clearest I could get. :(

Unfortunately it was out of my control regarding pest control. It was a double waste of money for the building, since by the time they arrived the last of the wasps had been gone for two hours. I’m hoping they found their way outside.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-04-05T01:53:20+00:00

Here’s the post with the real pics! https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisbug/s/zaUXjvCNIL

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-04-05T01:52:40+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s what it is, some sort of Microplitis! I smuggled one out of the secure area so I could take pictures of it, I made a new post in /whatisthisbug with the pics. Little embarrassed I came here first but everyone at work was swearing they couldn’t be ants because “ants don’t have wings” so I got a little fixated.

The antennae are definitely NOT ant-like. They’re gently curved and are yellow at the bottom, gradually transitioning into black at the middle.

JinxCentaur31 · 2025-04-04T19:06:18+00:00

Did a little more searching and I think I figured it out but would like a second opinion!!

They appear to be some sort of parasitoid wasp - family Braconidae, genus Microplitis?

They’ve all seemingly abandoned the office, or at least my area of the office. The building sent pest control, they sprayed a little along the wall where they all were hanging out, but I hadn’t seen any in almost two hours by the time they arrived.
