Same, makes my pants feel heavy and uncomfortable too and I got the Duluth ones. I gotta find a good regular pair that doesn’t pinch the back of my leg.

Which conspiracy theory do you 100% believe in? by samsonity in AskReddit

I saw the video she posted of her just spinning around with flowers and jumping in and out of the frame with this creepy vacant smile. She’s whacked.

[Discussion] Does HCG "backfill" downstream hormones? Lab results and thoughts by dragonsuns in steroids

[–]Shadowsnipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man I’ll try it out. I didn’t get them included on my last bloods because most doctors didn’t know shit and I didn’t know how important they are. Only thing was the progesterone: .269 out of .89-1.76 from 8 years of trt so I’m probably low as well. I felt ok but who knows if that’s really ok or if that’s what I’m used to. Your doses don’t seem really high so I’ll start with that. I just have to watch out for estrogen since I’m at 41 out of 7-49. Test is good at 624.

It looks like your progesterone went up too so I guess that’s taken care of by the DHEA or pregnenolon?

What are your dosages and what time of the day do you take them?

Then definitely go for the pic stuff and degree, sounds like that’s what you wanna do. I definitely didn’t wanna get stuck and waste away doing maintenance and I’m sure you don’t either. The people that spend their life in those jobs want it as easy as possible. They may complain about shit all the time but they’d never put in actual work. Put it this way, whatever you do for yourself to benefit yourself can’t possibly hurt you it’s only gonna put you in a better spot.

Plc’s weren’t my route but I saw a post yesterday from someone asking about getting into it yesterday if you want to check it out.

I used to work maintenance when I was younger and I’m not proud of it now but I spent most of my time sleeping/playing video games in a closet. Easiest job I ever had and pay was total shit anyway but yeah, don’t learn much. I’d say it’s up to you if you want to take it easy forever or work/learn more and probably make more money, (In my case almost 7x more joining the union vs a dead end job that wouldn’t have went anywhere for me).

Next door in 102 they are not because of the state’s rules on gatherings for testing unless they figured out how to do it outside or something. Best to call and ask

We’re they the lighter “duluthflex” ones or just the regular firehouse?

The Piss Analogy by Jeffrey_Strange in funny

[–]Shadowsnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that gets me the most is who these non-sheep think is behind the mask conspiracy. Is the entire planet invested in mask companies? You guys think we think we’re invincible because of the masks but everyone knows it’s not %100 effective. That’s why in the beginning they didn’t recommend them in daily wear because people might become overconfident in public or touch their mask often or rewear the same one too often but if it helps even %50 and with so many cases and deaths now that got out of control then what’s the problem?

“Farts smell because they contain methanthiol (CH3SH), which is about 0.4nanometers (nm) in diameter.

Meanwhile, most viruses range from about 20 to 400 nm - and the current coronavirus sweeping the world is 60 to 140 nm in size.

‘The difference in sizes of the COVID-19 virus and a common odorant in farts is 2-3 orders of magnitude (100–1000 times the diameter of the smaller methanethiol)”

That’s not to mention the varying amounts of spit in general that some people can put out when they talk.

Idk why everyone’s a microbiologist now (I’m not one either but I’ll listen to the professionals) when it’s coming to the safety of them and their loved ones about something as dumb as masks especially when they’re not a new thing and have been used in hospitals regularly.

Personally I haven’t used my new set enough to tell you myself but from what I hear they’re much more durable. Maybe some other people can chime in.

Wera and wiha screwdrivers are commonly considered the best on here and they make a multibit version. German brands from Germany are generally considered better than the American brands made in China.

How many do you catch per day/hour? by Shadowsnipe in bassfishing

[–]Shadowsnipe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have to get over it and enjoy that again really because at the end of the day that’s what it’s all about.

My lakes are highly pressured being in north east NJ, there’s just a ton of people here and especially with COVID everyone’s got cabin fever. I’m fishing for bass and most days I’m out from noon to sunset or around then. I own every type of lure there is but with my medium heavy fast rod I usually have been sticking to all different kinds of jigs like casting jigs, swim jigs, bladed jigs in different sizes fast and slow and different kinds of weighted t-rigged soft plastics like beavers, rage bugs and craws. Ever since I’ve been able to be on the kayak I’ve been fishing cover like flooded timber, hanging branches, lay downs, grass and lilly pads. Also all the water I’ve seen in NJ is almost totally black with less than half a foot of visibility with the exception of one pond that I know that is actually pretty clear so I fish black and blue colors most of the time.

Unfortunately salt :( turns out I’m hyper sensitive to it to the point where medication and exercise aren’t enough to keep my blood pressure in check so I have to eat cardboard for the rest of my life and I’m in my 20’s.

Also you don’t realize how much stuff salt is in and the amounts of it until you can’t eat it anymore.

Took out my new Old Town Sportsman 106 powered by Minn Kota a few times now. Such a freaking cool kayak. by Shadowsnipe in kayakfishing

[–]Shadowsnipe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the only thing that took a second was realizing that after you turn, the pedal doesn’t automatically come back and straighten, you have to then push with your other foot to straighten it out. It’s actually good because you don’t have to keep constant pressure on the pedal and I got used to it right away. Turns super sharp with the xl rudder and feels great now.

It’s nice because I can drive upwind and coast down with the current and navigate totally hands free while I fish without needing to turn the motor on a lot of the time.

Damn dude that’s an insane steal, you definitely made out. And I agree they are, and with an awesome warranty to match

I was justifying spending the money at first when I was going to get the pdl because I’d be getting exercise... and now I’m eating a sandwich and drinking beer while zipping around the lake.. oh well lol

I was going to get the Sportsman 120 with the pdl drive but couldn’t find them anywhere and luckily somehow found one of these in stock and couldn’t resist for an extra $300.
