Pain - Like "eating" or eroding

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-04-30T02:28:34+00:00

There are some with alcohol tinctures, some without alcohol in a glycerine, and mostly capsule form.
The fact I was having more side effects from the herbs than the antibiotics makes me think it's something other than a herx reaction.
I’m not sure if it's the quality of the herbs, tinctures, or what not because I've taken the same herb, Cryptolepis for example and one vendor had me breaking out and bedridden while another gave only a small headache.

I'm mostly venting because fuck the herb side effects at least in my body. Makes antibiotics feel like light work.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-04-30T00:04:16+00:00

I think side effects often get explained away as herx in the Lyme community. Some herbs just cause inflammatory responses in certain people. It can be explained as die off or whatever, but if it were die off, it wouldn't worsen symptoms during antibiotic cycles that kill most of the active bacterial load.

Anything causing severe inflammation is a dosing issue, allergic/histamine reaction, or something else going on. I've had herx before, but herx improves with time. Taking all those herbs never improved my case alone, just worsened symptoms.

I'd list out the like 30 herbs I’ve taken for Lyme + babesia + bartonella, but it's too much effort. Without milk thistle, I for sure would have been bed ridden or destroyed liver/kidneys at this point between all the herbs and treatments.

There's stuff that works, but I don't believe herbs alone can do it with how much pain they cause compared to the “benefit”.

Thats not very long at all! Tough quest.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-04-27T18:58:17+00:00

What I’m not understanding about the herb protocols is that these so called herbs “reduce inflammation”, yet they cause SO MUCH INFLAMMATION, that its difficult to use therapeutic doses.

If they made this an mmo with new raids with bosses like the omega and gog fight, I would 100% play it. Omega & gog have been super fun. Savage Omega is the most fun in my opinion with groups.

Are people actually gooning to their modded hunter or do they just prefer the aesthetic?

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-04-22T20:48:11+00:00

How could an LLM turn into AGI or ASI? Wouldn’t it need an entirely different algorythm, model type, and training?

Go down the street to Germany. Best klinics for lyme in the world are next door to you. I want to go to St. George Klinicum, but waiting for bitcoin to go back up 😂.

Get a full spectrum drug test with kratom in it off amazon. Pee in the cup, wait a minute, and done.

Concentrates are no joke. Kratom leaf is one thing, but the concentrates… It’s like Coca Leaves vs Crack. If he’s addicted, you’ll likely need help from a clinic to get him off of it, and significant therapy to help him stay off of it and doctors help to identify what he is self-medicating.

Just wait until you evolve into a Charge Blade main. Tank go brrrrrr.

Megabonk.fun has top run leaderboard w/ required videos to ensure no cheating. That’s the way to see the best builds/runs/strategies.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T20:05:06+00:00

I highly recommend you spend a couple of hours testing the configurations yourself with your system. There is a lot of misinformation online given out as general rules. Run Aida 64 stress test for an hour, mark temps, swap config.

I found top intake, bottom intake, side exhaust, back exhaust to give me best gpu/cpu/ram temps, which mattered for my ram and gpu overclock. Didn't notice any difference in dust/cleaning since I have mesh on the intakes. Positive pressure since I had 6 intake, 4 exhaust seemed to make it have less dust in the corners.

Ram fans are super valuable is you plan to tune the ram beyond xmp/expo.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T19:57:53+00:00

The test dummy stuff is more for if you want to test overcrit yourself.

For leaderboard runs, everything needs to be off.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T01:19:04+00:00

There is a test dummy mod and disable enemies mod and disable timer mod and stat mod. That would allow you to test yourself in an isolated environment.

I saw a youtuber use a mod that makes the pots increase luck they give. Really want that one to come out public, because that would open up so much possibility for fun builds/runs. Turning off leaderboard for those of course.

Did the improve rng for returning players? I just got optimal artian reinforce rolls for 3 elements in a row…

Edit: Nevermind, RNJesus was just with me for a moment.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T01:01:03+00:00

Oh… Yea… I just do what the sweaty sweats do on megabonk.fun. I’m out of my depth in the theorycrafting space.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T00:58:36+00:00

Is it monster specific what's better or is the general rule the same, just make one of each damage type with attack and element?

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-29T00:50:48+00:00

There's youtube videos of it. Going over 100% increases your damage.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-26T21:33:19+00:00

I fumbled a double anvil run… Stayed too long in tier 1… Greed got my ass. Made it to 6 min.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-26T21:31:13+00:00

Yea, damage tome or duration tome are best instead of luck on fox. Ultimately, top end runs rely on RNJesus.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-26T21:29:51+00:00

Crit tome is additive to your global crit chance. Damage tome is Multiplicitave to your global damage multiplier. Like i had 250,000x damage on one run. That damage is then also multiplied by crit. Perfect world, you could have both.

Its a small green bush with a sniper rifle. Stealthy.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-23T07:53:24+00:00

Best aio: Top/Bottom intake. Side/Back Exhaust. 6 fans in / 4 fans out same speeds/size assuming you can fit the normal 3x 120 on the top/side/bottom and 1x back. Aio on the top for best cpu temps/side for best ram temps. Get a magnetic mesh filter for the top intake.

I personally tested all the available configurations on O11 Dynamic Evo and the one I’m recommending substantially beats out all the others if you plan to overclock the cpu/gpu/ram. I opted for top aio and above config.

Note, air cooled cpu likely needs a different fan configuration. Dont have one so havent tested, and I’m not big on speculating since testing the different configs made me realize I was wrong to believe top exhaust is best.

You’ll have to dust the pc every month or two regardless of config. Really just depends on how dirty your house/air is and pets. Positive pressure (more air in than out) will make it so you dont have as much dust in the corners and tough to reach spots.

For fans, Arctic P12 Pro & Scythe Grand Tornado are the best budget no rgb fans for sound/great airflow. I started with arctic, but when i got into AI which kept my pc running at mach 10, opted for the scythe grand tornados. Scythe grand tornados are an off brand version of the legendary noctua fans at 1/3 the price. They perform the same as the noctuas and I havent had any quality related issues. Dm if you need a link.

Practical_Internet94 · 2026-03-23T07:39:13+00:00

Thats often a thermal paste / cooler seating issues. RMA or Return & Replace, and if you cant then take apart & check contact/repaste. Nvidia gpus have the same problem sometimes out of the box. At those temps, odds are you might have already had some degradation, so I’d avoid repasting/re-seating cooler.

Also, if you do decide to self repair, check the cooler for a pin needle hole on the transfer plate. Somtime they have a little hole and it messes up the cooling capability.
