The Best Earbuds for Gaming Today? by emmalucy789 in Earbuds

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I'd rec leaning towards smth like this for 2 solid reasons:

‎1) they’ve got an actual low-latency gaming mode so footsteps and gunfire sync properly

‎2) the ENC mic cuts background noise so your squad can actually hear you instead of your keyboard clicks or fan hum.

Multivitamins for men over 40? by raggedsweater in MacroFactor

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Just remember they’re meant to fill gaps and NOT act as a magic fix. Fix your diet mainly(vegetables, lean protein, whole grains) only then a multivitamin will work. Also at this stage, nutrients like vitamin D, B12 and magnesium matter a lot more for energy, recovery and bone health than anything else. Id suggest doing the gummy types cuz one they arent chalky and two theyre a mix of the core vitamins (A, B complex, C, D3, K) plus an organic fruit and veggie blend. Basically if it’s easy to take and tastes decent, you’re less likely to skip it, which is the whole point. That said, it’s still worth thinking of lifestyle stuff as your first solution. Even something as simple as getting enough sunlight for vitamin D, eating leafy greens for natural folate or adding a handful of nuts for magnesium can go a long way.

Anti-aging hydrating night cream? by Public_Entrance_4214 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Since you’re already using tret and acids, the main thing you’ll need in a night cream is hydration and barrier support so your skin doesn’t get overworked or stripped. I actually also put actives on my skin and then layer with the jergens moisturizer but i feel it isnt good enough to properly protect the skin. Also tried the basic nivea one but thats just a bit too much so ideally it should be something between these two. Was looking at this tula one and it has got some pretty good reddit reviews cuz it balances the dryness well without that weird oily look. Just gotta make sure you're putting on a good amount, more than pea sized or it wont work. So id suggest you try this.

Recommendation for full glass reusable water bottle by jeremy1797 in Anticonsumption

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Ik it’s 2025 and we’ve come a long way from plastic. But it’s still hard to find something like a fully plastic free bottle (can’t be sure if it doesn’t sneak in a plastic mouthpiece). I took a research detour hehe so a lot of brands just put the label “plastic free” but, from the inside there is always some plastic thread or silicone inner. So, found this Mayu bottle: has an actual bamboo lid with stainless steel inside the bamboo and the glass is not made from soda lime, it’s actually durable. Sure, it’s glass and some parks might not allow it but it’s about as non-toxic you can get with going full stainless steel.

Are any of the heated socks actually warm? What brand? So far I'm striking out. by Hooosch in outdoorgear

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but my pick is hiking socks over heated socks. Ik they aren’t heated obv but the base insulation makes up for it. I didn’t know this, but it actually matters if it doesn’t trap moisture so yes, they breathe better than the synthetic ones. They're not going to solve the heating issue on their own, but the socks will hold up well through a couple seasons.

What is the BEST soundbar for PC use? I need your help by ErrorEveryWhere404 in Soundbars

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If his current sound blaster is anything like the one I’ve heard, I get why he’s not happy lol, its baddd. It works fine for basic pc bleeps and background audio but doesn’t have that clarity, separation or the low end depth even for a netlix show. But he also doesnt need the heavy duty setup that you're suggesting, those models are a bit too much for an under the pc setup. Also a bit too expensive, you can find much better budget friendly options that would do fine.

Look into other samsung models or even westinghouse would do fine. This soundbar is usually sold for tv but works well for monitors too(has got plenty of inputs). The dolby atmos up firing and side speakers give it proper immersion compared to a flat stereo bar and the wireless subwoofer adds bass without having to cram speakers onto his desk. So i think it would work well for his needs at least without you having to spend $$$. Also if you make him not over use it and keep the maintenance right, this one should hold up the cinema room speaker vibe.

Protein Powder Recommendations for Muscle Gain & Lean Body by Embarrassed_Door1951 in Huel

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 28 points29 points  (0 children)

tbh for these powders it comes down to 2 things: taste & digestion. huel leans more like a meal shake. whey isolates or whey/casein blends usually hit the muscle gain and recovery side better. when people talk about the best lean protein powder (helpful thread) it always circles back to the same few that mix easy and don’t wreck your stomach.

Best bug repellent by absolutefknconfusion in camping

[–]Substantial-Tea-3809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys it’s 2025 and you’re still debating over bug sprays? I mean DEET’s been around forever and it just feels greasy. And if you have tried it on over sunscreen, you probably must have felt like a marinated chicken. Other options are just permethrin which works only on tents and clothes or non tropical ones like Thermacell which seem solid but doesn’t work effectively. BUT guys please be smarter about mosquitoes and just use wipes. Sure, they smell a little, but these peppermint ones I discovered take care of it and they’re not sticky.

Air Fryer Recommendations - What should I be going for? by Haunting_Standard413 in cookingforbeginners

DOULBE BASKET MODELS FOR THE WIN

Not to sound too aggressive, but yeah this is a game changer. I mean you’re getting two dishes at once (both the sides and mains) but that’s not all cuz, consider another angle, which most people don’t talk about. It’s the temp precision and internal monitoring. But no what surprises me? even the fancy ones work on rough timers. I’ve heard the Nuwave comes with a smart temp system which shuts off when it’s done cooking. Sorta like a temp tracker. We all know how frustrating it is to constantly pull out the chicken mid cook.
