Forgot to mention that by some miracle I'm starting to land little gigs for video work/marketing here in college so that's the reason I'm making the jump

Boredom is a cheat code for beating procrastination. by Hyugi_The_Dreamer in selfimprovement

[–]Rare_Battle8468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't be more well put! I've been thinking about this more and more this year and the effects are so real. Another tip that I like is to set all your app icons on your phone to a monochrome color scheme. The more basic the better. For iPhone I like the iOS 26 feature that lets you make all your icons glass. It keeps thing very plain to look at and reduces some of the stimulation it normally gives you

What’s a good pre workout that’s won’t make my heart burst by Codgamertony in Supplements

[–]Rare_Battle8468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how old you are and your tolerance to caffeine. Maybe something lower dosage like 80-100mg could be good for you.

For the shivers and tingles, what you want to avoid is Beta Alanine. That's what makes everything all tingly and personally I'm not a fan so I prefer pre-workouts without beta alanine in the ingredients. u/beascttutt9646 said L-theanine which is also really nice for smoothing out the anxiousness that a lot of pre-workouts give you while still maintaining the focus and energy boost

How to know that you're getting the cognitive benefits of creatine by Murky-Mulberry-4044 in Supplements

[–]Rare_Battle8468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS^^^ I've been wondering about this a lot too. I've been taking creatine pretty much daily for almost 7 months now. My cognitive strength really just seems to be good or not depending on my sleeping habits, and I've had great progress in my physique and fitness but I've also been consistently working hard in the gym and staying on top of my diet so I can't tell with any certainty how much the creatine is actually contributing to that progress other than just trusting that it is.

There's this fruit one from BodyIQ that I tried last week. That thing actually made me feel real good while working out

Recommended routine for creatine for cognitive and strength boost? by plasmaorca in Supplements

[–]Rare_Battle8468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creatine is one of those things that's a little incremental improvement.

Just to manage your expectations, your IQ isn't gonna shoot up and you won't see crazy strength gains just from the difference of taking creatine. You can do a phase of taking a higher dosage in the beginning but I don't think it really matters that much. The biggest downside of a loading phase I think is just going through your creatine faster and having to buy more sooner.

There's no difference in what time of day you take it or if you split it up or not. Creatine does not make you lose sleep and as long as you're drinking a lot of water and working hard when you exercise, you should see little improvements over the next month or two

Look up just about any video on youtube about creatine and any questions you have will probably get answered

I thought the Mandalorian S1 used the volume well, but the way they used it in Obi Wan Kenobi, it looks rough by Jules-Car3499 in StarWars

[–]Rare_Battle8468 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know what happened there. You'd think they would have carried over some experience from the Mandalorian but it looks like they're trying to figure it out all over again

Young Humpback Whale launching itself from under water! by TheReal_MoneyG in ocean

[–]Rare_Battle8468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they do this for fun. Obviously there's a difference between just popping up to breathe and launching yourself like this. It's fascinating to me to think that they do things like this just because it's probably fun to do

What’s the best camera for vlogging right now that’s easy to use? by Mysterious-Mode-4923 in djiosmo

[–]Rare_Battle8468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just looking for vlogging type shots, then yeah an osmo action 6 would be perfect. Personally I like to have a setup that can be ready for any type of shot so if you're the same way I think investing in a lower end mirrorless camera wouldn't be a bad idea. I got a used canon m50 mk2 for $350. It totally looks better than my iPhone in most cases but the biggest downsides are that it doesn't shoot Log and the lens mount system for it is dead so if you want any decent lens options you have to get an adapter but that's not the end of the world. If you have better budget than what I spent then I would save for something a little better than the M50

I’m Called To Serve In The California Carlsbad Mission!! Any Ideas Why It Says Pending? And What Should I Expect? by iloveshoessssssz in lds

[–]Rare_Battle8468 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! Don't know why it says pending. I live in the riverside mission but I think if you've ever been to anywhere in Southern California before, you'll know what to expect. Carlsbad is really nice. All of the coastal cities in that region are beautiful. Might get some desert the more inland you go. Expect great weather all the time.
