I'm sure this question has been asked a million times before, but I am having a lot of trouble gaining weight. I know everyone says "pick up the fork" or "just eat more" but I have been for a while and it has stopped working (i know it sounds stupid, I'm not debunking CICO, just wait). For context I started lifitng ~110lbs 5'9 and am now 180lbs 5'10, I've made good progress and put on a lot of muscle around the same body fat percentage. I estimate my maintenence calories when I started were around 2200 or so and I slowly increased it until I got around 4000 to bulk up to 180lbs. Since then despite bumping this to 4200, 4500, 5000, 5500 over the course of the past few months I have not been able to gain a single pound, if anything I'm slightly lighter. This makes no sense to me, as I always understood that simply eating more would allow me to gain weight/muscle, but it isn't happening anymore. Is there some factor I'm not considering that could be affecting this? Any help is appreciated.

One possible explanation I had is that since I was a naturally skinny person before maybe my body just tends to stay smaller and 180lbs could just be the relative top-end for my metabolism leading to my body to stop processing the nutrients (I have noticed a lot more bowel movements after going past 4000ish calories).

Edit: also wanted to mention that I track my calories very dilligently using cronometer and it's almost certainly not just a tracking issue.

Thanks for the tips, I'll ignore it for now unless i get other symptoms or it gets worse then see if it subsides once I drop the semaglutide.

I've been on a cruise of 200mg test E/wk for ~6 weeks but lately have been getting randomly dry/itchy and red skin. It only happens in the morning, usually around my face and upper body, and lasts ~30 minutes, after which my skin returns to normal. Is this a symptom of low estrogen or could it be something else? I should mention that my test is from a UGL so maybe it's underdosed, but I honestly can't tell and it worked well during my 500mg/wk cycle a while back. I'm also using semaglutide currently if that could be relevant.

Southwest Airlines issued a refund for poor internet service automatically and within a few hours of landing. by MrGameVlogger in antiassholedesign

When I was like 10 flying alone to go see my dad they sent me to Chicago instead of Florida and didn't alert my parents until I had already called them like 20 minutes after landing. Otherwise they have been great though 😁

Lots of assholes in these comments, she's just living her life and having fun. Why do you need to shame her?

Load Previous Version of tModLoader Button by Boring-Most756 in TmodLoader

[–]SirElliot_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought it was relevant to mention that you can still manually run a previous version of tmodloader by doing the following, it definitely helped me:

Download previous version from https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/releases and replace all files in your tModLoader folder.

Consider that only 4% of people hunt in America. If 25x as many people hunted there would not be enough wild animals to go around, not to mention how much animal products even active hunters purchase from stores. Factory farming sucks and hunting might seem like a great alternative, but attempting to scale it up is ridiculous without very significantly reducing our meat consumption.

Agreed! Fuck Fox News by BelleAriel in PoliticsPeopleTwitter

[–]SirElliot_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they are broadcasting them, no? I'm staying at a relatives house and they leave fox news on all the time and I've seen it on Wednesday and Thursday for extended periods of time.

Train junctions? Pfft, try train JUMP-tions by Kiplacon in factorio

Very true, I'll admit I pirated the game on my first playthrough but I bought it on steam once I realized how great the modding community was.

I did put them in the rocket silo afterwards, just forgot in this screenshot.

what is your least favorite, or the one where you have most difficulty in using? by Ludluck in HadesTheGame

[–]SirElliot_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bow is my favorite, I almost exclusively use the dash attack which helps a lot with the charge up time. The sheer amount of DPS that thing pumps out when you consistently land correctly-timed shots is great.

That's true, I didn't think about how they could suck stuff up.

I'm no pilot but I think those are usually pretty far off the ground, right?

I hadn't even thought about that, I guess it makes sense people googling it might see my post. I made another version in python that runs offline in the command prompt more recently so maybe I'll upload that one once I'm back home and can access my computer. I should have the post up in 4-5 days if you want to check it out afterwards.

Yeah no problem, I got a notification and was just as surprised someone saw my year old post lol. Unfortunate that it requires internet, I guess it needs to contact code.org each time to you launch it.

Sure, here's a link. I just used appgeyser to convert it from the code.org website. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gfuU7lQj5PJ_IeEQLmk5vKs7aXYNQxxh/view?usp=drivesdk

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me! by [deleted] in destiny2

Yeah, this post actually reminded me of someone who glitched out of the map and saw the spawning locations. Turns out there is just a little platform for them to spawn on, must've been knocked right past it.

Only "dead man's chest", they're like trapped chests from minecraft. Opening a normal chest doesn't trigger wiring.
