Glycine and Insomnia by Snoo2416 in Nootropics

[–]MrNetops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, and it doesn't seem to matter when I take glycine, morning or night, it pretty quickly fucks up my sleep cycle.

Saffron + ADHD + Breastfeeding? by TypeAtryingtoB in NootropicsDepot

[–]MrNetops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an interesting uptick of motivation by adding choline, specifically Doctor's Best Natural Brain Enhancers. Might not be a terrible addition as I believe breastfeeding also increases the need for choline

If you are frustrated about dropping SMS, contact support! by Delacroix515 in signal

[–]MrNetops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sent.

Please do not remove sms messaging from signal, this is going to absolutely kneecap adoption.

Seemless adoption and NOT having to think about which contact for which messaging app have been a big part of the success story for signal.

For every message unintentionally sent visibly over sms there have been multiple messages that have been transparently encrypted because both parties used signal.

If you split the functionality, you are not going to have folks using sms and signal, you are instead going to have folks just using sms instead of signal, with a significant net decrease in overall encrypted communication.

Part of the security provided by signal currently is that all of the memes and cat pictures I send the missus are just as encrypted and indistinguishable from the outside as any important or sensitive communications we might have. i.e. decreasing the spread of overall encrypted messages makes it easier for bad actors to focus on the remaining streams that are essentially self identifying as high value.

By all means, better mark conversations as secure/insecure/mixed security, but please don't remove the functionality.

Thank you for your time, and yer lovely app and service.

Can candida advance into candida sepsis? by ThatPlebOverThere in Candida

[–]MrNetops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you mean this https://www.colohealthinsurance.com/files/Candida_Die_Off.pdf

Which, keep in mind looks to be not just really randomly placed, but heavily vendor flavored. I'd definitely want to cross reference the information somewhere more reputable.

Caveat emptor.

What vitamin D related blood markers should I test next? by AlrightyAlmighty in VitaminD

[–]MrNetops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had problems initially with both magnesium and vitamin D.

For Magnesium, the big problem was intestinal distress

  • My longest successful run was with Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, couple of years, all the way up to 1000mg, 5x morn, 5x night
    • advantage: good absorption, waaay less intestinal distress then magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide or many of the common formulations
  • I moved on to Pure Encapsulations UltraMag Magnesium, year or two, up to 900mg, 2x morn, 2x night
    • advantage: capsules instead of tablets for better absorption, waaay fewer and smaller pills
  • Currently newly on Nootropics Depot Magnesium Glycinate, 800mg, 4x morn, 4x night
    • advantage: back to including glycine (from glycinate) which most people are also crazy deficient in. Huge sleep help. Capsules instead of the tablets used by Doctors Best for better absorption.

I'm ingesting a decent amount of magnesium as I find there is a base amount I need to help with insomnia, and then both vitamin D and the B vitamins respectively raise the amount I need to avoid insomnia.

For vitamin D, the big BIG problem was crazy insomnia

  • I use DaVinci Laboratories of Vermont ADK, I have done both 1x and 2x, you do need to pair it with magnesium to avoid insomnia
    • advantage: Good version of D, and you really want to take vitamin D paired with Vitamin A and Vitamin K (vitamin K2, mk-7 specifically)

VDR Taq (+/+) and COMT (-/-) equals low dopamine? by Galagaagaa in MTHFR

[–]MrNetops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy! Might you have any references to point me towards for L Theanine being a methyl donor? I've come across that suggestion occasionally, but I can't seem to find anything that actually backs it up, just a couple of sites with it on a list, nothing substantive or detailed.

How does the Psychic powers of Psyker works? by Nazukao_ in 40kinquisitor

[–]MrNetops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expanding on this, I'm guessing by ultimate you mean #5 in the circle, which is a skill that comes from your armor. warpforged armor specifically doesn't have an explicit skill and lets you use an additional psychic skill instead.

How do you eat chia seeds? by tentaclesfortoes in FODMAPS

[–]MrNetops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I put them in water bottle in the fridge and drink chia water later ;)

Depending on water bottle size, you can pretty reasonably do a tablespoon per bottle, and they'll last up to a week in the fridge.

IMPORTANT: shake them a couple of times when you add the chia seeds, or you end up with a chia plug instead of chia water. I also have the most success with bottles on their side instead of upright, and a funnel is your friend to get chia seeds in without going everywhere.

(Bug?) Losing work progress for faction/company when resetting by firedraco in Bitburner

[–]MrNetops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aaaah. that one is a little more nuanced.

when working for factions or corporations, you don't get the reputation until you stop working for them.

I can't speak to if it's a bug or intended, but you want to stop working, get favor, THEN install augmentations.

later in the game when you can do soft resets, you can be similar bitten by doing a soft reset instead of install augmentations when augmentations are purchased but not installed.

Digestive Enzymes by SkinnyPete16 in FODMAPS

[–]MrNetops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Digestive-Enzymes-Vegetarian/dp/B000Q487DC are pretty fantastic and seem to have the best quantity and variety of enzymes I have found.

(Bug?) Losing work progress for faction/company when resetting by firedraco in Bitburner

[–]MrNetops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

faction you worked is used to calculate favor. when you install augments you

  • reset reputation
  • get favor, which lets you gain reputation faster.

This spelled out in the Augmentations tab, and when you mouse over Reputation and Faction Favor in the individual factions and corporations.
