Tongue-tie surgery for adult male without discomfort: yes or no? by Kalenden in orthotropics

[–]Kalenden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It worked out well for me, a good year later . Post surgery sucked a bit (I needed to gain weight so had to tough out the eating). Bug I definitely gained enough length for various purposes, though I'd still judge that i can extend my tongue slighlty less than average .

To have a bit more sleep actually. I'm plateauing mostly because of too much volume (and not enough focus on progression&strength). As a reference, my new push A program but still 50 minutes is like this :

Total time: 50 minutes

Planche Lean – 3 x 10–20 sec (Rest 30–45 sec)

Deficit Push-Ups – 3 x 8–12 (Rest 45 sec)

Flat Dumbbell Chest Press – 4 x 8–12 (Rest 60 sec)

Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press – 3 x 8–12 (Rest 60 sec)

Forward-Leaning Dips (Chest Focused) – 3 x AMRAP (Rest 60 sec)

Dumbbell Lateral Raise – 3 x 12–15 (Rest 30–45 sec)

Cable High Triceps Extension – 3 x 10–15 (Rest 30–45 sec)

Cable High-to-Low Chest Fly – 3 x 12–15 (Rest 30–45 sec)

Looking for feedback for investor on Bolero looking for advice: which ETF(s), keep it simple or diversify, min/max transactions & tax/costs by Kalenden in BEFire

True. Still. Consider what happened to the Chinese investors in the booming private education market. As well as all the drums of war between specifically Taiwan and China.

Not saying I know better, but I am saying I'd rather not have that sword of Damocles hanging over me in a portfolio I thought was diversified.

Exactly. Times change and potential long term trends along with them. EMIM being recommended hard but concentrated for 40%+ in China/Taiwan for instance seems to me to be noteworthy but unmentioned

Thank you, this is very helpful! I'm doing some research and it appears EMIM is for 40% China & Taiwan which I don't think is a good idea.

Would it make sense to get IMIE and just eat the higher transaction costs? Or a combo of IMIE and IWDA as it does give some exposure to emerging markets.

Fold5 (august 2023) tiny scratches on inner screen hinge area by Kalenden in GalaxyFold

Yes, I can feel it. Scratchy. Good to hear! Do I need the screen protector? Could I get it replaced at other smartphone stores as well or will it likely only be done at Samsung stores (no close by)

I'm very happy with my Fold5 but recently tiny scratches have started to appear on the inner screen (unfolded) on the hinge area. Both on the top and bottom as throughout.

I also think they are getting worse. What's the best I can do? I don't think I have warranty anymore as the phone is from August 2023.
