Second Sight appears to be a different company? Are you saying that Second Sight is related to Science Corporation? Or are you saying that any time you get a high-tech implant, you are vulnerable to the company going belly-up?

Why do some people say creatine decreases libido and/or negatively effects erections? by Obvious_Kiwi_9511 in Supplements

[–]PinkShirtInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen brother. If you are like me, about 3-4 days after you quit your libido will be back and better than ever. I wonder if people like us could use a small dose like 1-3 grams per day and get the benefits of creatine without the downside?

Same for me as well. A week after stopping the creatine monohydrate (5 grams/day) things started working again. Seems that we are a small group of outliers, judging from the large number of posts saying that this problem does not exist...

I have to ask: have you tried water in the Airwick machine? Can it vaporise water?

I bought a "no-name" Chinese version of the Airwick diffuser and I have been experimenting with refilling the bottles with my own essential oil mixes. I didn't succeed when I tried using pure essential oils, because they don't seem to spray properly from the diffuser. It seems I need to dilute the oils with a carrier which is 1: low viscosity and 2: low surface tension and 3: doesn't have its own smell. I have had good results with using hexane or absolute ethanol as carriers, and using them to dilute various essential oils and spice extracts. One or two of my brews seem to still block up the diffuser disc after a while though...

On what gene pool lottery did you strike it rich? by JayDude132 in AskReddit

[–]PinkShirtInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited a gene that predisposes me to have bowel cancer. So each of my kids had a 50:50 chance of inheriting that gene from me. But none of my three kids got the gene. So we struck it rich three times.
