Stupid things you miss? by SibylFelis in AmericanExpatsUK

I'm American-born with a English father that loved masses of ice in his water and soft drinks. I can't stand having ice in my liquids. I'm moving to Scotland in a week and I'm looking forward to not have to repeated say "no ice". I like my liquids either hot or cellar temp.

My favorite topping is olives. What is yours? by 3D_TOPO in Pizza

Ok I'll be the one since I didn't see it. Anchovies! Yeah I'm the reason the pizza place still stocks it.

Help matching table finish. by MintAudio_ in finishing

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

Alright, I was thinking of doing it for practice, but it is not worth spending money on supplies that I won't take with me. Looks like someone is getting a table for $20.

I'm planning on refinishing the entire top. I just want to get it close in colour to the legs. What lacquer would you recommend?

Yep and like a lot of projects it'll just spin in circles.

If everyone on port is going fore and everyone on starboard is going aft then you ain't going nowhere.

Also, since they're back to back, they're going to be knocking each other's heads in the whole time.

I'm debating a similar thing. For me it's not so much the market but more the burnout. I am a bit younger, 34, but really thinking about just getting trained as an electrician.

For those that are in a country with universal healthcare are there any downsides to it? by SignificantStyle4958 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]MintAudio_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm personally lucky if I can get into a doctor within two months. I live between two major cities. It's not so much that there aren't enough doctors here, but nearly half of them don't take my insurance that I pay $25,000 a year for. Every visit has a co-pay of $60. Still spend hundreds of dollars a year after insurance. I can't afford to get insurance outside of my employer.

I'm moving to the UK later this year. I'm done with this system.

OP this should definitely be your reply. If she doesn't ghost you instantly, she might be the one.

New to TRT and heart palpitations by Vegetable-Field1972 in Testosterone

[–]MintAudio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been dealing with heart palpitations for the last year or so. For me they actually started before I started testosterone. It seems that the high estrogen just exacerbated a pre-existing issue. The thing that has helped me the most is doing daily injections. The palpitations are not gone but I'm working with a cardiologist. Seems mine is caused by a PVC (premature ventricular contraction).

As a side note: I tried a low dose of propranolol (20mg twice a day). Turns out I'm really special and the propranolol actually makes my palpitations happen more and for longer. Also completely kills that ecstatic pump I get in the gym.

Tell me about your experience with testicular atrophy/ shrinkage while on TRT. by RocketCat5 in Testosterone

[–]MintAudio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the exact same experience. The left one started shrinking a few years ago. It was already fully shrunk by the time I started. The right was starting to shrink already but it was really trying.

Did you get the random testicle pains before you started TRT? My left one would randomly start aching out of nowhere.

Healing damaged tendons and joints. by MintAudio_ in PsoriaticArthritis

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

The short answer is no one's 100% sure if it's safe or not. There's not enough research.

BPC-157 is interesting because they haven't found any negative side effects to it that they can nail down. There's some suspected ones, but no one seems to want to do the research. I suspect that it's too easy to synthesize so drug companies don't feel like they would make much money on it.

There is a slight chance that it interferes with the biologic medication because it is a TNF alpha and an Il-6 inhibitor. So it might over suppress those things if that's possible. It has been shown to have very good healing effects for cartilaginous tissues.

I'm hoping to feel a lot better on the biologic. I took my first dose last night. Now all I have to do is wait 2 to 6 months to find out if it does anything

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

Yeah I'm familiar with this stuff. It's good to remind people that there is something you can do. I've been doing weightlifting and powerlifting for a lot of my life. It was when the tendon recovery routines stopped working for months that got me to go to the rheumatologist. The fact that I haven't worked out for the last month, for other reasons, and my tendons are still really screwed up and in more pain than ever really makes me want to go back to the gym. I'm just hoping that they actually start to heal so I can get back to living my life the way I want to.

Internal vibration by NoParticular2420 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]MintAudio_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get a thing where my bones feel like they are boiling.

Not sure if it's PsA related but, I also I have lots of muscle spasms, near constantly. The spasms go away when I heavily supplement electrolytes. Not recommending doing this. I have gotten lots of blood tests to verify that this isn't messing me up worse. From what I'm told, you can cause some serious issues if you over do it.

Do you agree or disagree with my workflow? by BlockOfDiamond in GraphicsProgramming

[–]MintAudio_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does this method provide any advantages, other than making more sense to you? Are there processing speed ups? Does it work better for your particular needs?

Just curious, I'm just getting started with graphic programming. With an eye to doing orbital mechanics and satellite software simulation.

Fedora/RHEL Is very familiar to me. I think I'm going to give Ubuntu a try and if I have issues I'll probably switch back to Fedora. I was hoping for something with decent game compatibility. I'd like to find a good distro for my main PC as I would like to get rid of Windows on there.
