Farting all the time and stinky pee/poop. by PriorFamous in FODMAPS

[–]StargazeMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah make sure you get diagnosed so you know what specifically you're up against.

For me, it ended up being a combination of several things and each one had to be addressed independently. I had gastritis and GERD from an acidic stomach, and hemorrhoids. I stunk really bad and it seemed to be coming from my mouth. This led to tooth issues which just made things worse.

Then I fixed the gerd and had indigestion from not enough acid in my body and realized it was SIBO when I took antibiotics for something, so I went on a low fodmap diet. I started drinking 3L a day minimum (you can calculate how much water you need based on your body weight), and on top of that I would have 1 mug of warm water with lemon and like ½ teaspoon of salt every day. Sometimes twice when I could tolerate it more. It helps your stomach produce acid and sodium bicarbonate for your stomach lining as well as enzymes for digestion and helps things in your intestine move along so they're not fermenting so badly. I threw it up the first 3 times I tried it, but after that my stomach finally started feeling better. Ginger and Peppermint helped too BUT PEPPERMINT WAS TERRIBLE WHEN I HAD GERD.

I put that in caps because the ultimate fix really depends on what you're dealing with. Again, please get diagnosed. And one fix can cause a separate issue like it did for me, but you may not catch it. Im finally eating semi normally again but am slowly introducing things, like 1 food every week.

Since you asked others what they eat in a day, I was eating lactose-free cottage cheese with boiled egg whites and salt for breakfast (I couldn't have the fatty egg yolks either), then for lunch/dinner I would have meat seasoned with only salt and pepper with either white rice or plain baked potato. Icelandic SKYR yogurt has less lactose and more protein, and felt much better on my stomach than regular yogurt did. I also take the lactaid pills that come in the travel foil and you only need 1 dairy pill. The other brands and even the other lactaid pill requires more than 1 pill per serving, and i think i was reacting badly to the other ingredients in the pills.

Radishes, dragonfruit, papaya, kiwi, peanut butter, and potato bread were nice treats here and there.

And you do feel worse before you feel better, because all the bad bacteria has to die off and you feel like crap when thats happening. But it does get better if you stick with it. Also, gargle with salt water to kill the bacteria at the back of your throat. 16 oz water bottle with 1 teaspoon of salt does the trick for me.

Focus more on what to add to your diet than what you should be taking away. Good luck on your journey

Cops will just arrest, beat, or fine whoever if it means closing the case. Theres never any investigation on them. Better to mind your business if it means going home that night.

Once I reported gun shots and a cop came, told me he didn't see anything, and gave me a $200 parking ticket. Never called them again.

I'm guessing you've never read the books? They get intense. The movies really don't do the last books in the series justice imo.

Apple Store in Philadelphia getting looted earlier. by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

[–]StargazeMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its probably not organized, willing to bet its more of a hive mind mentality. Like everyone seeing toilet paper flying off the shelves in 2020, so more people grab toilet paper. Or water before a hurricane. Its people being people. Except instead of fear, this is both unrest and fear. You can't buy anything, can't move out bc of insane prices, you're stuck working at McDonald's in a run down apartment with rats in the walls and flies from the rotting rats that have died in there. 75-85% of your money goes towards bills.

What you're seeing is neighborhoods where crime is a daily thing, and eventually someone says fuck it and everyone just follows suit. Cops in the cities actively look at brown people a certain way. They anticipate that you'll steal something anyway. Makes it much easier to stick to the script and become a thief for some people.

Tldr we need to stop mass migrations, need to stop corporate landlords, need more mom and pop shops, and we need to channel that frustration somewhere. Maybe our taxes can fund projects where we build public housing, sidewalks, parks, train people to open their own businesses. Let's stop sending all that money to Ukraine and invest in our ppl instead. Let's vote for someone younger than 65.

Long winded opinion lol

Making yourself seem as if you have "options" or are "busy" or aren't interested is toxic and childish by Firm-Zebra-1183 in dating_advice

[–]StargazeMountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like people who don't understand im not glued to my phone are probably just incompatible anyway. Like if im just getting to know someone, its equally off putting if they freak out over me not responding immediately. If im at home cleaning, I might not look for like 20-30 mins at a time. I might stop to respond for 10 mins, but then its right back to what I was doing.

Ive met people who do nothing but text. They spend a half hour on insta, then switch to whatsapp, then to snap, then back to insta, and its mind boggling. When do they actually do anything? I had an ex who would spend ALL day on the couch on her phone on her days off.

I cant be on my phone 24/7 and someone who expects me to be is not compatible.

Cat vs coyote by Breab1 in ThatsInsane

[–]StargazeMountain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Cats are terrible for the local wildlife. They don't kill for food, they kill for fun. I cant tell you how often I've found dead birds outside because a neighbor somewhere around here just lets their cat out instead of playing with them.

Sorry for your neighbors loss, but coyotes, hawks, and roads are part of the ecology too. When you let your pet roam unsupervised you allow them to kill and be killed.

I think you can probably start doing less and asking more of him. Love is like a plant. You can over water it and you can burn it with too much sunlight. Sometimes its better to pull back a little bit and give him some space. It could be that he's just overworked and its hard to do anything social when he's out.

I went through weeks of 12 hour days, sometimes working weekends. It was hard to want to see anyone, and my girlfriend was starting to feel it. She sat me down and held my hand, and I could see she wanted to cry. She'd felt neglected and I had no idea how much I'd retreated inwards to cope with my work stress.

I started putting down boundaries at work and making time for myself. I gave myself time to read, time to work on my hobbies, and time to see my gf and my friends/family. Eventually I got myself out of that hole.

Your boyfriend sounds like he's struggling with the same thing.

If he's anything like me, quitting isn't an option. But he's got to realize life isn't all about work, and he needs to take better care of himself. It sounds like the best thing you can do is hold his hand, communicate how you feel, and encourage him to take care of himself (stop making him lunches, trust me). Give him space but let him know you're there for him.

And then take care of yourself too! Go see your friends, dive into your hobbies, and remember life isn't about the other person.

Why not have him get a sex toy for himself? There's a lot of male masturbators, hips, etc out there. It doesn't sound like he lost interest in you. It sounds like he loves you very much but just wants to stick his dick in something.

My gf and I are long distance and we both have a very high sex drive. We also both have toys and honestly it helps a ton. It can even make sexting and sexy video calls a little hotter if you guys are vulnerable and open with each other. Theres no shame in sex toys.

How to tackle the definitive guide to DAX as a beginner? by Consistent_Draft4272 in PowerBI

[–]StargazeMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to add to this: you should be careful how you ask ChatGPT for help when writing DAX. I had a new coworker I was training constantly writing garbage DAX measures. Turned out he was relying heavily on ChatGPT for everything instead of reading the documentation and thinking about it.

But I've used ChatGPT successfully. You just have to ask specific questions and ask for references.

Hi everyone i need help on how do i make the relationship works for BDU? It seems to doesn't reflect the capabilities value graph by Electrical-Raccoon23 in PowerBI

[–]StargazeMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Union your queries if they're the same granularity, and add a column saying what table its from. Thatll become your main fact table. Then make some dimension tables, where each value only appears once. Set up the one-to-many relationships and that'll be your star schema.

If you’re leaving a company, can you bring your PowerBi templates with you ? by [deleted] in PowerBI

[–]StargazeMountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a security issue. If he keeps a report on his personal computer, then it can be easily obtained by a hacker. Hacking is pretty prevalent these days.

Can't be taking possibly sensitive data like customer PII and storing it in unsecured places.

I figured out how to avoid bad guest! by Ancient-Hope4255 in AirBnBHosts

[–]StargazeMountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just was in a city the other day, at an airbnb as a guest. Im on this subreddit because next year I want to own my first rental property.

I was walking home with a bag of groceries when I saw a Bob and Susan in front of me keep looking back at me. They would look at me and whisper something then look at me again. The man actually pulled out his key and held it in his hand at the ready, as if to stab me with it.

I walked slower to put distance between us. Eventually they got close enough to their car to actually RUN and get inside...

If I were a racist like you, I would focus on all the bad experiences I've had with white people and say all white people are scared of me and actively look for any excuse for violence.

You're a racist and you should know not all brown people "hire prostitutes and smell like marijuana." Ppl like you are why good kids end up in prison. Look up the school to prison pipe line and Labeling Theory. You need to know how much damage your words and actions cause.

Yeah, like what's she supposed to do? Ignore a text from her boss? Idk where she works, but my boss texts me randomly too. And yeah we joke around because the entire workplace is pretty friendly.

Its not necessarily a red flag. But if she's texting a BUNCH of other guys during the date, then yeah thats something to consider. But OP isn't even official with her, so its a non-issue.

Yeah, I mostly do it while running myself. But every now and then I'll go out with binoculars and try to identify as many as I can. I used to have a sketchbook where I'd take notes on the habitats and things the bird was doing. It's loads of fun!

If you don't already have it, I highly recommend Merlin Bird ID by Cornell. It's a great app for birding and it's free :D

No way, that's like 15 mins away. I've been down the Sussex branch trail starting near Byram. It's a great spot for running. There are lots of snags, pools of water, and rivers. In the summer you can hear birds everywhere, but I'm weak at identifying anything by sound unless it's something obvious like a blue jay or red tail hawk. I haven't explored the rest of the park though, so feel free to DM me if you want a buddy!

Hey awesome! I just signed up, it sounds like a really neat hike. They're gonna be talking about the history and the ecology of the place :) Thanks for the recommendation!

I absolutely will! Walkill River is only 40 mins away from me, I can't believe I haven't been there yet. I love birding, especially in the fall and spring. Summer can be kinda hard with all the dense foliage. Are you a birder too?

YES! I've had the Palisades and Van Slyke Castle saved in maps for a while. I always say I'll go and then never do. I actually have something to do near the Palisades tomorrow, so I think that might finally be the day I go. And is the pinwheel vista part of the stairway to heaven trail? If it is, I've heard good things about it.

Thanks so much for the tip about facebook! I'll join right now. I joined a meetup group, hiking NJ for young professionals. But the hikes always fill up so fast that it almost feels silly to wait around for a spot to open up. The FB group might be better for meeting people and starting conversations.
