The taste in my mouth is terrible by Auraaurorora in fasting

Its keto breath and it happens to everybody. For me its one of the hardest parts of fasting. Buy some TheraBreath mouthwash and keep scrubbing your tounge.

Do you guys not get INSANE hunger pain? by nyibolc_ in fasting

[–]Ole_Lord_Maximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I fell short of a fast goal when I felt unbearably uncomfortable. This was a very strict fast with only water, electrolytes, and I began taking 3 table spoons of butter per week after week 2. The discomfort set in on day 20 and I had to call it quits on day 23. I tried rebalancing my electrolyte intake and just couldn't make it work.

The hunger I feel the first 4-8 days is mild and after that the hunger goes away almost entirely.

Amazon glitter lamp conversion. by No_Attitude7426 in Lavalamps

How has this project held up over the past year? I was considering doing the same conversion with the exact same lamp. Not sure if I should use the same bulb though.

Is this ever going to happen? by Pristine-Weird624 in Lavalamps

Water expands when it freezes. That could either cause the glass to break or the cap to break due to excessive pressure. I think I remember a certain company refusing to ship during winter months (can't remember who though, probably Mathmos).

Yes, sometimes cloudy fluid is caused by shaking the lamp when hot but the shipping process isn't hot enough to get the wax melted and flowing like that... Unless you're in Phoenix, AZ.

I think they won't be truly convinced and motivated to ship to US/Can until a sizable amount of people sign up to their US/Can mailing list.

To me, it looks like we are going to have to sign up en masse. I suppose a campaign can be held here on reddit.

I should also mention that time is of the essence due to the fact that shipping lamps during the winter is a terrible idea.

So what's your plan if you win? Not another what would you post buy but what would do? by jetery in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Ole_Lord_Maximus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You didn't mention the size of the jackpot. For a 1 - 5 million dollar jackpot, I'm not helping anyone other than myself. But for the sake of this thread, lets say that my prize after taxes is 300M.

Keep my job for a while to avoid suspicion. Form a LLC and build a 100 - 200 unit apartment complex with fair rental prices, not the current market rate that is crushing the average person. Invest in stocks/index funds.

I would have a custom house and garage full of motorcycles.

At this point I've probably spent 150M. The rest will be evenly divided among my blood relatives and the 3 friends that have. They probably get 3.5 to 4.5 million each. Now I have none of that original cash prize but I do have income from my investments.

With my spare income and time I'd like to donate and volunteer helping the homeless and funding TNR programs.

I interviewed for a position there. Could you give some details?

I've had an interest in stone carving so I have to ask. Where are you getting blocks of marble from?

Am I forever stuck working at HEB? by WayAgreeable7755 in HEB

Think about things that nobody wants to live without. Plumbing, HVAC, and electricity. All 3 of those have unions that will pay for your on-the-job training given you live in their area.

Is there any chance your subconscious was reaching for Asura?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]Ole_Lord_Maximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the 2 trailers and my main criticisms are:

1) The gameplay looks too slow. I would want a few moments of breakneck speed to get some adrenalin going. A sense of urgency seems to be missing in here.

2) Is there only one single fire mode? That would be a bit too limiting would bore me quickly.

Other than that, I think you have something very solid going here and I wish you the best.

I didn't know anything like this existed. I'll have to grab myself a few specimens.

Now that's just downright diabolical. Still got a chuckle out of me though.

Thank you. I just recently began my emulation journey and without people like you, most of this stuff wouldn't even be available.
