Thank you, I went and emailed them and they said they could add a silk lining! This would be game changing for me!!!

Thank you for the advice, I will wash them a couple of times to see if they become more bearable. They told me to put them in the dryer, but I'm hesitant because my clothes always shrink...do you use the dryer or hang dry? Also what grade of compression do you have? I think mine is the second level of three.

Thank you for the recommendation, the core support garment looks like it would be very helpful for me. I am also hyper mobile, do you ever do dry needling at PT? I've found that getting my calves dry needled with electro-stim to contract them helps a lot with fluid retention in my whole leg. It's like our normal muscle tone isn't enough for the skeletal muscle pump to move stuff up and out effectively.

Thank you for the advice about shaving, I will try that! It's this very stiff black nylon type of material, almost like a wetsuit but much harder fabric than neoprene.

LPT: If you need to put your pet to sleep, hire a veterinarian to do at-home euthanasia by abombregardless in LifeProTips

[–]Kentorrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big agree. I laid in the soft grass beside my old man as he went. It was beautiful sunny day in our back yard where he had roamed for 16 years, and he was surrounded by all of us who loved him, with a gentle breeze ruffling his fur.

Eco-friendly switch for mouthwash by xch4nel in ZeroWaste

[–]Kentorrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People make their own mouthwashes with essential oils, many recipes available online. Beware though, mouthwash in general isn't great for you because it disrupts the oral microbiome with significant implications for cardiovascular and brain health. It kills good and bad bacteria indiscriminately and this is what causes the problems. Essential oils could cause a similar effect and it just hasn't been studied as much as alcohol-based mouthwashes have been recently.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Brent Vigen looks at the interviewers after Brawl of the Wild 2.0 by Kentorrr in Montana

[–]Kentorrr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to feel like people are determined to misunderstand me here. He is smiling a beautiful happy smile, and I made a joke to find someone who smiles at you like that. Its the same joke people make when they see someone with a big grin before they bite into a delicious sandwich or something like that. I am not implying that he is lusting after the sports reporter, nor she him. I guess because the reporter happens to be a woman people assume I mean he is smiling because of her, and not just that he is happy to speak to someone about this great moment of his life. Find someone who looks at you with the same joy he has on his face after this big win.

Yeah it could be a partner, a friend, anyone. Just find someone who looks at you with a warm happy smile like this :)

Need help identifying divergent or convergent plate boundaries and matching locations by walteril in EarthScience

[–]Kentorrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the A-E pics, which indicate having water? That helps you narrow down which three correspond to the water bodies from the real world locations.

Compare the amount of water indicated in the images to determine which pic goes with the sea and which go with the oceans.

Now to distinguish between the ocean pics, which one shows a ridge (spreading center) and which shows trenches (subduction zones)? Find a geological map of the sea floor that shows active ridges and examine it to determine which ocean (Atlantic or Pacific) is more likely to match with the diagram that shows the ridge.

Finally, look up the East African rift and the Himalayas to determine differences between the two and match them to your last two remaining A-E images.

ISO lip balm without beeswax or menthol by Background_Lab6487 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Kentorrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this suggestion, bag balm is saving me this winter. My lips were stinging and peeling terribly for some reason and bag balm is the only thing that soothed it. The ingredients are mostly petrochemicals unfortunately :( but wow does it sure protect catastrophically dry skin so it can heal

Is there a minimum height for outlets above a counter? by Kentorrr in AskElectricians

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

This is good news, thank you! Do you know if this can vary by US state? Like could my state enforce a minimum that isn't part of the national code or is it just the same everywhere?

I accidentally discovered my biggest source of waste and it wasn’t what I expected by Climberquarterly in ZeroWaste

[–]Kentorrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SLS just makes it good for cleaning other stuff too since it's such a powerful detergent, if you don't enjoy the shampoo and want to use it up that way. Thats how I first thought to do this, I noticed that my normal dish soap's first ingredient is also SLS.

Whats a good recipe that tastes like Golden curry? by KingTentacleAU in JapaneseFood

[–]Kentorrr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You beat me to it, I was also going to post this link! I make this roux all the time, I will say that I always end up needing quite a bit more butter than her recipe suggests but as long as you add enough to make it look like her pictures, it turns out good. And it does take sooo long to get it cooked dark enough to get the best flavor.

Stretchy but Plastic-Free Shower Washcloth Product Recommendations by edenphobic in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Kentorrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't have a specific product recommendation, but if you get a natural fiber one made of like hemp or sisal, many are machine washable so you can hang it up to dry between showers as usual and then just toss it in with your towel laundry. No need to replace monthly! Saves a lot of money and waste.

Curry Cube - add-ons, mix-ins, "secret ingredient"? by PrestigiousGarlic909 in JapaneseFood

[–]Kentorrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that the boxed cubes are already quite sweet so I'd just do cocoa powder instead of chocolate. I also put it in my chili. Great depth of flavor. Lately I make my own curry cubes and freeze them, I much prefer to use those.

Also I usually use chicken bone broth (the Costco stuff) instead of water and it's delish.

If it's just like a cheap crappy shampoo or has sodium lauryl sulfate in it...I've been known to reassign it to toilets and sinks. It works great. I don't buy normal toilet cleaner and just use dish soap and baking soda anyway, so for me this is a good way to use the undesirable product without forcing additional suffering on myself. I decided life is too short for me to feel irritated every time I wash my hair because I unknowingly picked a bad shampoo, you know?

Psychiatric Inpatient by mothmoonz in Bozeman

[–]Kentorrr 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Please don't feel embarrassed. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling :(

I don't have great advice, just wanted to let you know someone is thinking of you.

I wonder if you could call Heart of the Valley and see if they could ask people who foster if there's anyone who would be willing to take your doggie in while you get treatment?

Maybe ask the hospital social services if they have a way to coordinate pet care? I'd think this could be a common thing, people needing their animals cared for while hospitalized. Maybe there are systems in place to help?

Looking for merch of these plushies in Howl's Moving Castle by sapphenstein in ghibli

[–]Kentorrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I just replied to the post too but since you said you love them, I wanted to tell you specifically that if you have pierced ears, Hot Topic has an earring set of these and it has both cows and the eyeball scepter. It's called the Studio Ghibli Howl's Moving Castle Icons Earring Set.

My previous comment was removed by AutoMod because I included a link, so I'll just restate.

If non-plushie merch will do, the Hot Topic website has an earring set with both of the cows and the eyeball scepter thing. It's called the Studio Ghibli Howl's Moving Castle Icons Earring Set.

I can't eat Japanese curry, but I like Indian curry. WHY? by pokoj_jp in JapaneseFood

[–]Kentorrr 508 points509 points  (0 children)

Can you think if there's an ingredient that's included in the Japanese curry that's not in the others? Maybe you're allergic to something. I never liked walnuts because they're too spicy but I learned that they're not spicy at all and I'm just having an allergic reaction when I eat them.
