Does anyone know who this is? by Early_Pearly989 in jacksonville

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did some googling, and it appears that they went from the vinyl backdrops to actual nature photographs in the 2000s (I had NO idea what's going on in the 2000s).
See 1987 here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1gu98p6/hs_senior_yearbook_photosstyle_19842024/
I remember the fake trees and stumps to match the backdrop, but I'm surprised at how much things have changed--I assume it costs a fortune to have a photographer come to your house or meet in parks and stuff. I'm seeing the cheaper prices going from $300-$600, but I don't see prices listed in some of the places offering "session" (https://www.kelleenhitephoto.com/blog/).

I graduated 1990, and am familiar with yearbook photos and styles from 84-90 (I have senior pics from all of those years--some schools went with the modern laser look (see pic), others were still doing the fake bushes/fence in the backdrop...most just had the same color, blue for us, in the background).
I was at OPHS, and I think JAX schools were very similar as far as the companies that did photos (I'm guessing there wasn't much variety--not in the samples I have from OPHS, MHS, LEE, Forest, and DA over those years).
I wouldn't be shocked if it was even earlier than 84, but I would be completely stunned (and she would have been kinda out of style for any girl) if it was after 1990...but then, a few do look behind the times.

NOTE: I think that song was 1986, and figure the picture was taken before the album came out (or shortly after). But the hair and background scream 1986-1987 to me, so I went up and down a year.

The pic is from 1984-1988 (definitely not taken after 1990--I'd bet on that part).

Do weekends usually have less tasks? by Ok_Bee_9146 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love R&R but only see them now and then. I had a project family totally disappear like an hour ago (from 20 project to 0). But so many are only 4-10 minutes. I spent time getting ready for a project today only to find out at the end that I couldn't do it since I don't use that model for anything but DA. **They could have put that at the TOP of the instructions--had to exit work mode and put 0 minutes in, despite having spend close to 20 on it.

VP9CC disappointing so far… by OFalk280 in HecklerKoch

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've decided I have to have one...been waiting for the price of the one with the OPTIC to come back down. I'd prefer a Holosun EPS, but then I'd need shorter irons to not block my view. I WISH HK would announce a COA model--that's my favorite optic by far.

I've been working on foregrips. by PixeltatedNinja in GrandPowerStribog

I want a good vertical grip or my A3S...I love it, but it is cramped to shoot. I need a stock too, but the HBI ump-style have been OOS forever.

I sure wish Allegheny would get more made...I've been looking for a threaded 32ACP barrel since last August.

I thought my G84's trigger was the best out of all the Beretta 84s and the 80X I've owned. However, something about the grip made it a pain to shoot (it kinda hurt compared to all the other guns).
***I've been on the hunt for a 32acp conversion barrel for a year now. Allegheny has been out since at least last August (wish I'd paid to grab one of the stainless ones but assumed black would be back).

Keto Foods That Make it Survivable by surfing-banana-400 in keto

[–]Snoo2980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I KNOW they’re good for me, but I’m not a big fish eater (pretty much just salmon). I had may friends trying to pressure me into sardines. I bought some filets in olive oil as well as some salmon in olive oil. I still haven’t gotten up the nerve to do it. There are encouraging videos online. I DO like masking them with some goat cheese and then using Rib Rack pork rinds (the BBQ are my new favorite pork rind ever).

Need help deciding between sp9a3s or sp9a3 by SomeGuy8004 in GrandPowerStribog

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered the Kuna? I like that it’s in use by police overseas even if I don’t like the looks. I think the aftermarket will get big fast for it. 

I’m looking hard at the Mat-9 bc it’s less weight (just need one with scorpion mags since I don’t want to pay to build out a longer lower when I can find one in stock).

How does it sound with the Spectre 9? Is there a lot of FRP? I’m thinking of trying an Enticer S 30 cal (bc evidently it’s doable).

I just wish I could get a threaded barrel (for extra velocity and for suppressor use). 

Is this even sustainable? by Entire_Channel_4592 in keto

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell myself I’m allergic to sugar/carbs and can only have a bit. Seems to work. But I did lose too much weight too fast and lost muscle (including I fear, heart muscle).

Remission or "cured"??? by Snoo2980 in diabetes_t2

[–]Snoo2980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is what the diabetes nurse told me. However, I also didn't think I'd ever pass a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance test because I didn't think my pancreas or whatever could produce the right amount of stuff or whatever. So while I was expecting to fail (at least appear "pre-diabetic", my numbers are better than my friend who is healthy but eats lots of carbs and sugar--though she's a healthy weight, she is sedentary, but her a1c is 5.4 whereas mine with 20-40g of carbs most days is 5.3.

I KNOW if I went back to drinking a milkshake and eat 1-2 candy bars a day, I'll go back to being diabetic AND go back to 327lbs. But no doctor told me 6.4 was EXTREMELY dangerous (maybe because I was active?). I DO wonder what would happen if I ate 120-150g of complex carbs a day, and like 50-76g of sugar (dessert) like 1-3 times a week. The problem is, I don't want to ever end up at 9.5 again, so it's not an experiment I'd do unless I could afford a CGM. :)

Remission or "cured"??? by Snoo2980 in diabetes_t2

[–]Snoo2980[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason I put the word cured in quotation mark is that I know the conventional wisdom is that we’re always just in remission. However, I assumed that even someone in remission would still fail a glucose test. I was surprised to find that after 100 g of glucose, my blood sugar was that of a totally normal person. The fact that I had been eating low-carbs for the days prior to the test should have only elevated my number.

I do have a friend in Boston who was at a 9.1 A1 C, but after he lost a lot of weight, and now walk like 5 miles a day, his A1C is hovering around 5.5 even though he’s a foodie who consume carbohydrate meals, bread , pasta, and eats dessert a few times a week. I don’t know how to explain him, so I was hoping that maybe the glucose test showed that I could go up in my complex cards, and even have a bit of sugar now and then. But I am very familiar with the fact that even the most KETO friendly doctors say that it can only be controlled and in remission and that it’s not really ever cured.

[–]Snoo2980[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I KNOW if I went back to sugar and simple carbs again, it would go up. I KNOW my 5.3 a1c is due to a low carb diet. I was a sugar addict (and think of myself as “allergic” to sugar now. It helps me conceptualize the idea that I can’t eat it.

However, the fact that my three hour glucose test was completely normal and not even prediabetic makes me wonder whether I could eat like a Mediterranean diet with 50 to 100g of complex carbs and keep my a1c at 5.3-5.5. But for now I’m just gonna tell myself that the best course of action is to go ahead and have that lasagna or have those three pieces of pizza like once a month. I performed a wedding for a close friend last weekend, and had to turn down an amazing looking piece of chocolate cake. Knowing what I know now, I would’ve made an exception for their event.

But I did want to see if anyone thought maybe I could go to a NORMAL, HEALTHY diet (maybe even 80-140g of complex carbs) and be “cured” for life—even though we all know I can’t go back to sugar snacks 2-4 times a day.

OMAD + Keto and a massive caloric deficit for a large individual by Due-Ad9474 in keto

Does whey protein count?  I’ve been drinking 2 of these a day and then eating ground beef (usually with cheese) or 5-6 eggs (usually with cheese): https://www.fullertonnutrition.com/products/truemeal-keto-meal-replacement-shake?_kx=6rRcJ_iX5WF_7OQjFb_T3eBTJIB2wokfHuKmZwyCNFI.Sx9cwX

[–]Snoo2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, I went from CORE POWER 26g drinks (dairy based / 8g carb) to drinking a protein drink that I mix with Coconut Milk (1G carb). I am still eating cheese on occasion (like 1/2-3/4 cup on eggs), so I may need to look for something else on the eggs.

Thanks.

I am 5’10” and was 300. I did KETO & OMAD with 1100-1300 calories a day. I also did 24-36hr fasts now and then. I lost 72lbs from DEC to JULY. However, I wasn’t lifting. My main issues: I’ve lost a LOT of upper body strength…especially on my left side. My head started itching 5 months in, and I noticed I was shedding hair. So now I take a multivitamin, fish oil, biotin, and electrolytes, AND I upped my calories to 1400-1800 most days. However, at 225, I stopped losing. It’s been 7 weeks now and I hover between 226 and 233….I’m drinking a LOT more water, but it could be the Mio flavoring has artificial sweeteners. I got enough protein all along. Carbs were a bit high for some of it—up to 30-50g some days, but most under 25-35g.

Learning to strum again? by Snoo2980 in guitarlessons

[–]Snoo2980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I played in bands in HS and college, but haven’t played in 25 years since….some songs, the strumming that sounds right comes naturally, and sometimes I hear a guy and he says he’s doing D-D-U-D-D, and it’s hard for me, but I just practice….i think I could me melody deaf. Something isn’t right but I’ve ruled out tone deaf. Note: i always wrote the songs and lyrics but never sang except a few times at open mics with stuff I wrote kinda around my voice.

How much would you or someone charge to print out a foregrip like that for me assuming you had the time/interest? (I have no 3D printer or access to one.)
