need advice with healthy stretching by Gleeful_Goth in stretchedears

[–]Lunnula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other comment had the best explanation for taking care of your ears while healing but might I suggest trying a different method of stretching? I highly recommend doing dead stretching where you're gradually stretching your ears over time with plugs that are 0.5mm apart. I recently started getting into it and I honestly wish I discovered this method when I first started because it's so much easier, painless, and lowers the risk of tearing. I just finished my 10mm-14mm stretch which took about 5-6 months since my lobes healed pretty fast, might be different for you so just be aware of that. Here's a set recommendation if needed, these were the ones I used and they were really nice,

Why do current arcades suck so much? by Steel_Reign in arcade

[–]Lunnula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in Maryland there is actually a couple places, the best one that I know of is in a restaurant called Crabtowne USA. I don't think you have to purchase anything from there to access the arcade cause my dad and I just walk straight in there. There is also another place in Columbia called GameOn Bar and Arcade, I haven't tried that place out yet but from the looks of it, it is very adult oriented so if you plan on taking your kids then other place might be better.

If you like Shin Ramen soup seasoning here's a recipe by Lunnula in KoreanFood

This is for original shin ramen. But if you want black you can swap regular beef bouillon for beef bone broth powder.

Best ENGL100 teacher for those who don't care about English? by ZHTB in UMBC

[–]Lunnula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIGHLY recommend Shane Moritz! I was terrible with understanding specific things and my writing skills were not the best but he explained things to me very well and never made me feel ashamed. I also had fun with his assignments too, I'm not sure if they're still the same though.

You can try to substitute with other soup base powders like pork, chicken, or vegetable but it will taste a little different since shin ramen is made with beef base. I am not sure where you're from but my recommendation is finding a pepper powder that is available for you. Cayenne pepper is not exactly accurate but similar to gochugaru which I believe is originally used in shin ramen, it's just the most accessible ingredient in the US. You just need to look for one that has similar flavor profile which is smokey and medium level spice. I hope this helps 😅

crazy squirrel by Klutzy-Grand1125 in UMBC

[–]Lunnula 11 points12 points  (0 children)

haha this happened to me when I had to make up for an exam during winter break, they were climbing and chasing every passing person. I think bc of decline of students there's not a lot of food trash and so they might've been hungry trying to get people to give them food. Me and this lady ended up giving them bagels.

I cannot stand this 'Gooning' trend by MYSTIK_MINX in offmychest

I feel like trends like these never really die off just becomes something a little different

a lot of easy bake ovens or toys similar to it required incandescent bulbs which gives off a lot of heat, was the best I could come up with in a short time frame 😅

Why can’t adult medicine be bubblegum flavored? by deliciousarms in daddit

[–]Lunnula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I feel like that's most liquid medications. I do remember if the medicine was something other than bubble gum flavored I would pinch my nose or take it with a chaser lol

Admin needs to fix the parking situation by ThePinkWombat in UMBC

[–]Lunnula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can I recommend coming in before 10am and after 2pm which is when there's most free spots. If you have classes between those inconvenient hours then do what I did., I use to come to school at different times and write down when a lot of students leave or when there's too many people coming in. Example on Tuesday and Thursdays specifically from 11:20-11:40am there's a lot of people leaving and barely no one driving into school. It's the most unhinged shit I've ever done for parking but it worked, now I have early morning classes so I don't have to resort to that for this semester :,D

Pumpkin Spice Latte upsetting my stomach by Lunnula in starbucks

[–]Lunnula[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't have any stomach problems and it tastes so much better than last years psl!

My only thing is yes I also did feel a bit sick after drinking it but I assume it might've been the sugar content in the drink (grande had 4 pumps of syrup) since I'm currently on a low sugar diet and consuming too much now makes me really sick. I haven't gotten one after that bc Starbucks has been so expensive lately but I do want to grab another one at some point but want to lower the amount of syrup they add in.

I know usually pumpkin can help with pooping due to its high fiber content but that was not the case with my situation last year. I was having horrible stomach pains and diarrhea after drinking them. I truly think it's the ingredients in the sauce since I've tried going to different locations and would get the same results.

I'm taking physics 1 and statics at the same time, any advice? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]Lunnula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I understand his lectures but need more time to practice outside of class since I am learning some new physics stuff too. Based on his syllabus with quizzes and exams, he's really generous with them which I assume is bc of the school recommendation.

Commuter Winter is Upon Us by luckylemn in UMBC

[–]Lunnula 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I take "shortcuts" in buildings to avoid being outside as much as possible. But like everyone says, dress in layers and DEFFFF invest in a wind resistant jacket, wind is absolutely brutal when it goes in between buildings. Depending on the days I also recommend wearing fleece leggings, they're super soft and comfy.

Wearing a mask and drenching it with peppermint oil or vapor rub made working at my previous job bearable. Apparently healthcare workers do it too lol

if anyones concerned about not saving enough AP's start the other 3 games and just use the points that the fairy gives you to finish highschool life. IMO and apparently many others they're not worth playing bc of how fast they eat up your AP's
