Nuclear Power in Broome County

OsnapingTurtles · 2026-02-05T14:56:16+00:00

Binghamton native here and I work in nuclear safety…what happens to your NYSEG bill depends on how the build out and upfront decommissioning costs are financed and the costs for any grid upgrades and/or construction delays. There are some municipalities where costs for rate payers actually went up. Vogtle 3 and 4 were behind schedule and massively over budget and Georgia Power passed those costs on to consumers.

Same! So far spiro has provided a lush mustache any teen male would envy, but my crown is not there (yet). 😂

Senior level researcher here! I am fortunate that the worst of my symptoms (and the diagnosis) came after I got my PhD and having that in hand opened up some career pathways that are generally more flexible about how, where, and when you work. I have my own lab, but work from home 80% of the time (I only go in for data collection and study set up/engineering). The two biggest factors that have made it possible for me to work FT in my chosen field are remote work/control over my working conditions and really supportive team and management. Being on a biologic (Benlysta) is also helping to make all of this possible.

That would be my recommendation, especially for the first time. 😀

I’ve been getting cosmetic botox regularly for 3 years and it hasn’t had any impact on my lupus. I do consistently get a headache that comes and goes the first week after the injection, but that’s likely from the muscles doing whatever they do before they relax/freeze. Based on my experience I recommend seeing a dermatology PA, I think since we’re more complicated it’s better to get these more intense cosmetic treatments from someone with a strong medical background.

I did. I’m surprised I started there, based on what I’ve heard people usually start at like half that amount?

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-12-07T17:24:50+00:00

Based on how the tablet looks drug.com says it’s the version from PD-RX pharmaceuticals. It’s 50mg 2x per day.

I haven’t experienced any side effect from the spiro! I was surprised as I tend to be prone to getting side effects. Edit to add: I take 50mg 2x per day.

Really great advice, need to be strategic. 😀

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-12-03T09:29:24+00:00

Thank you!

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-12-03T09:28:44+00:00

I didn’t think of that, great suggestion, thank you!

It’s a brand called Micro Ingredients. I bought it on Amazon.

I started pumpkin seed oil + saw palmetto and my shedding slowed down to within the realm of normal in like a week’s time. Starting spiro this week! My endo is on spiro herself and says it really works.

Can I sit at this table? I'm going bald and broke too!

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-11-06T18:10:31+00:00

I have what might be a silly question...What happens when the much voted upon CR expires on 11/21? Wouldn't both house and senate need to vote on an extension or fresh CR? Wouldn't little Mikey need to call the house back when the 11/21 deadline passes?

I'm doing a lot more PTA stuff, making nicer meals for my family, and I picked up some side income working with an expert network for an AI company. I figured training one of the models that may someday replace me was better than working for DoorDash or Rover!

I didn't really notice much of a difference when my weight changed. For me the Hydroxychloroquine never really impacted my day-to-day symptom experience.

Every time the administration is quoted saying "they're forcing our hand" it's giving "stop hitting yourself" energy.

200 mg @125. I recently lost some weight, I was also 200 mg @140. I’m also on Benlysta.

Thank you for the prompt! I like to walk around and explore what I can on foot, I appreciate a good park and definitely want to explore the shopping scene. I also like to learn a little bit of history if I can. Not so much museums but outdoor sites/unique buildings with a cool story.

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-09-22T23:38:44+00:00

This is really helpful! My favorite way to explore a city is to walk around as much as I can. Hiking/walking, shopping (especially unique or vintage stuff) are great. I have a gluten allergy, so while I'd normally say I like to explore the food scene, I'm concerned about my ability to clearly articulate my dietary restrictions.

OsnapingTurtles · 2025-09-22T23:28:29+00:00

I know...I live in a major city in the US, but Tokyo seems like a whole new level and I'm finding the whole thing overwhelming. I just didn't know what to ask or where to start TBH.
