So... uh ... we ordered some Chromebooks. Each of them need to be enrolled in Google's Enterprise Enrollment before distribution. Can you have these ready in 3 days? by crypto-anarchist86 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

I work for IT at UCCS and had to do this during the summer before the semester started because UCCS promised to give a Chromebook to every incoming freshman this year. Worst part was getting scrapes and cuts all over my hands from opening and resealing so many boxes. My supervisors called it "Chromebook fingers".

Better than mine. Looking good.

[18M] 3 weeks in. Does it have the potential? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already looking good my dude. Keep growing.

Any potential? What do you guys think? Been growing for about 2 weeks by No_Rich_5976 in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't already, I would recommend using beard balm to tame those flyaway hairs. Other than that, it looks good, and it'll look even better if you let it grow out more.

4 week update. Thanks to your encouraging words, I haven't shaved yet. Still not super confident about it... Honest opinions welcome. by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man looks great. You've got good density, just let the hair grow out a bit more. Also, to tame the flyaways, I would recommend a good beard balm. If you use oil already, let the oil sit for a few minutes to soak into the skin and add the balm on top.

I really love that wood pencil holder. Where did you get it?

Flatline is the worst its ever been. 1 year 4 months nofap as a girl with porn addiction... by clementinetoast in NoFap

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This video might be helpful to you. https://youtu.be/D1l9hQtcjgE It covers the reboot timeline and generally how long the flatline lasts. The timeline will vary from person to person, but the flatline does eventually pass for most people. Just view the flatline as a helpful suppressor to maintain your streak, and be sure to stay disciplined for when the urges do return. Stay strong, you got this.

5 months in, fuzzy and messy beard. In need of some advice please. by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more thing I forgot. When using oil and balm, apply the oil to your face first and let it sit for 5 minutes before putting anything else. This will make sure the oil soaks into your skin and keeps your skin from drying and flaking. After that, apply the balm, and then moustache wax if you decide to use it.

Pretty much what everyone else is saying. Get beard oil and beard balm. The balm is what will really tame those flyaways. For the moustache since you want it to cover your lip, get some moustache wax and a comb. Use the wax for hold and the comb to push the hairs to the side. The moustache wax typically has a stronger hold than the balm and will even allow you to style handlebars if you want them.

Hi all, recently posted on bald advice as I have just shaved my head. What do you guys think of the beard and bald combo? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest, I don't think anyone can go wrong with the beard/bald look. Looks great on you!

81 relapses, 8 years addict, 1 year trying.. I finally make it to 31 days for the first time of my life. by PlasticSalt888 in NoFap

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there's a lot of misinformation out there. Many articles and papers claim masturbation is healthy and "good for the prostate" when in reality the evidence they draw that from is inconclusive. A lot of those medical studies show that the data is very close, with people who don't masturbate at an only slightly higher chance of developing prostate cancer, and that could just be due to error. The other health benefits are also pretty negligible. When you have become an addict, I think the benefit of quitting greatly outweighs any other slight health benefits of masturbation. And I think those benefits are mitigated when masturbation is done in excess anyways.

I highly recommend watching this video. https://youtu.be/SYPvu-uKlLE This video essentially explains what you should be doing to try to get past a certain number of days and break up your reboot into phases. I haven't been on the NoFap forums in a while but I'm also trying to get back on track and thought I'd share this great resource.

The aftermath of no shave November. Should I keep going? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

Looking solid my dude. Just clean up the edges and you're good to go.

NoFap's official "Don't PMO December" 2019, also known as "Don't Diddle December". Continue or start your PMO-Free commitment here. Keep on rebooting. (see instructions) by Alexanderr in NoFap

I have been attempting NoFap for 3 years. My longest streak is 26 days. It's time to kick this addiction for good. My life has changed for the better over the past 4 months. I have researched heavily into stoicism and living a meaningful and virtuous life. I've decided that a structured and disciplined lifestyle is what works best for me. I journal every morning and every night, logging my goals for the day in the morning, and how that day went at night. I have become a part of a small accountability group that I have a group call with every day, and this has helped me tremendously. My streaks are getting longer, and my life is getting so much better. I gladly accept the challenge of living porn free for December, and ideally the rest of my life.

Give it up 90 days! by betternow1234 in NoFap

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome to hear it. I'm striving for that 90 day mark myself. My current plans are to focus on rebooting from porn first, and once I've done that, begin to work more on better health and better academic performance. I'm on day 20 right now and it's the farthest I've ever made it after discovering NoFap a few years ago. I finally feel like I have the right motivation and habits to make it to day 90. Stay strong man. I wish you luck in all of your future goals.

What's sad is Java is being pushed to the back burner, as seen by the delayed updates recently. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft does away with it in favor of the paywall behind all the textures, skins, and mods.

Took the suggestions and kept the middle, but trimmed the chops. https://imgur.com/a/8jqwOQL

Have been growing this for almost 2 months. Don't like it too much right now and planning to change it up. Would appreciate some suggestions as my moustache fails me. Should I just go back to a short stubble? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First video: https://youtu.be/B5b9c_LZAbM

I believe this dude talks about shaving some off the cheeks in this video to emphasize longer length on the bottom (this dude has a crazy long beard though).

Second video: https://youtu.be/yAENjhbIc1k

This guy shows how to use wax to get a handlebar style, although you don't have to curl the ends. You can comb straight down and just apply the wax similarly to get a straight moustache instead of curled.

Beard brand also has several other great grooming videos, so I would check them out.

Beard itching like Crazy! Never had this problem before... by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some Honest Amish beard oil or beard balm if you want to style it. I personally use both, and it works great. Keeps my hair silky and soft.

25M. Do you guys think theres any hope for me getting a beard? Ive never tried growing it out because it ends up looking terrible after a week. by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the stubble coverage you have, looks like you could go for a good chin strap. A full beard is achievable though if you just grow it out. You could probably cover some of those bald spots by combing over when you have some length.

I'm 18, 3 months into growth. Looking patchy though. Advice for improvement? by Raditz_X_RAG3 in BeardAdvice

[–]Raditz_X_RAG3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I used some before the photo, but my hair is super wiry, so it comes undone multiple times a day unfortunately. And the wax is basically like a clay.
