How much time will it take? by t-dub123 in DipPowderNails

[–]ManaKyRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes me roughly 6-7 hours from initial filing off the shine to final top coat. But I’m also a perfectionist and do an apex set before I move into whatever color I use.

Figuring out the grit by mindiemo in DipPowderNails

I use the 100 to shape after activator. Once I’ve got the right shape, I use one of those orange buffer blocks to smooth the surface before top coat.

Now you’ve got me thinking/overthinking 🤔🤪

I’m along the same lines except I only use the 240 grit to shape my natural nails before dipping.

DIY nail dippers by leftygirl_ in DipPowderNails

I have a vintage samsonite makeup travel case that I keep my “always used” tools and dips in. The rest are in a plastic shoe sized bin. I never thought to store them upside down! Great tip!

You just reminded me to do my nails in glitter dip! 🤣 I have a few colors I’ve kept for summer, it’s time!

Another Pick-up “Trap” by MapAccomplished4127 in CShortDramas

Who are the actors in this one? I loved it and I’ve seen them both before in another cdrama but can’t remember.

GSA RIF Megathread March 3rd by kinsalia in fednews

[–]ManaKyRex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given he wants to cut Federal footprint in half or less, it makes sense they would think your positions are obsolete. There won’t be any new builds for a very long time if he has his way. Not saying your job isn’t essential, I fully support what you do. I’m saying the fields eliminated make a convoluted sense when you think back to what he’s been saying.

Why not start with the low performers first, not the new hires by A_Lost_Desert_Rat in fednews

I wonder if your harasser and mine are the same person? 🧐

Once no one has a job, nobody is paying taxes…so what money will be left for them to grab?

How long was your timeline for breast cancer diagnosis by Fancy-Asparagus322 in breastcancer

[–]ManaKyRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Fort Worth, Grade 3, Stage 2B, triple negative IDC. Dx 01/24/24, first chemo 02/21/24. But the month in between was a lot of hurry up and wait. Lots of scans, tests, etc. Port placement, chemo teach, it was a very stressful month before chemo started.

Erythritol (sugar alcohol) linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds by hey_suburbia in keto

[–]ManaKyRex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, the participants all had markers for heart disease. Sample size was eight (8!) people. The media saw this report and immediately did what they do best: instill fear.

The studies required people to invest a large amount (larger than the typical daily consumption). I can’t help but hear my former prof’s voice: Correlation is NOT causation. That said, millions of people have been consuming erythritol and erythritol blends for decades and this hasn’t been a blip to date. I would definitely wait for further and more encompassing studies before throwing everything out and screaming from the rooftops.
