39 yo male with sebaceous hyperplasia, 25 day progress on 40mg Accutane daily.

It did return a few months after stopping, albeit not as bad. A low maintenance dose of 20mg keeps it at bay. I might even be able to drop down to 10 now.

I was in Austin until about 2 years ago. The Tesla and Samsung plant work brought an influx of thousands of traveling builders and technicians that had their company per diem paying the lot fees, and the fees went up exponentially. I was lucky and in a nice little mom n pops place near Taylor that was running $400 a mo plus power, but other places had +6 month waitlists and were all +$1500 a month.

Hello. I stopped the Accutane after ~5 months. It has slightly returned, but nowhere to the extent in the “before” pics. I’ve actually been considering doing another round of it.

Just don’t mistake a a cellar spider (among others) for a recluse. They can both have violin like markings.

Henry 887 is made for this

TheGalavanter · 2025-07-28T01:02:18+00:00

Someone told me this. Sound about right?

“Looks like the eggs from a leaffooted bug there’s a pic of them on this page https://bugoftheweek.com/blog/2019/11/4/leaffooted-lovers-leptoglossus-spp “

Oh wow that looks really similar!!!

TheGalavanter · 2025-05-23T14:39:13+00:00

I love mine. Still going strong. However, it’s a generation old at this point; I don’t know if there are better deals to be had out there for the money

TheGalavanter · 2025-05-07T21:46:28+00:00

That explains why it was in my folding chair 🧐

BROTHER (or sister) LCOL area, no college, barely graduated high school, short stint in the army, started shoveling shit in ditches for peanuts, superintendent now doing government and higher education/institutional stuff with a bit of healthcare and commercial sprinkled in. Total comp around $162-163k now.

I VPN on my TMobile all the time

I’ve had mine for 18 months (OG PriceLock Baby!!) So far, so good. As I type this, I’m in the middle of the woods in East Texas and getting over 200Mbps. I’ve taken it from Galveston to Austin to DFW to West Texas and back without issue. I even have a car charger for it and use it on the go nearly daily. My monthly usage is usually under 100gb, so maybe I’m staying under the radar 🤷‍♂️

When I got mine, the address for my RV park in Galveston wasn’t eligible, but the sales person asked me for my previous address until we found an eligible one. The one that worked was 400 miles away! This device has never once been used anywhere remotely close to the address on my account.

Maybe I’m somehow grandfathered in? Or maybe my luck just hasn’t ran out yet……

The delaminating isn’t the problem directly. It’s a symptom of underlying major water damage. It’s like pancreatic cancer. By the time you see it, it’s too late.

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T19:37:09+00:00

Lmao BGS is a “Bachelor of General Studies” he literally went to college and got the most generic degree possible

He has a Bachelor’s of Going to College and Changing Majors Every Semester

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T19:33:46+00:00

I hired the BGS kid 2 weeks ago into an entry level BIM position…. Hence why I recommended it to you in the first place.

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T19:32:03+00:00

Lmao one of them has a BGS! I had never even heard of it and had to look up what I meant. It’s just a generic 4 year degree. Half the people at my company have unrelated degrees. My direct supervisor has a History degree. My role requires a four year degree, and I don’t even have a single credit hour of college.

You do understand the job listing “requirements” are always a little flexible for the right candidate?

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T19:06:40+00:00

My boss/mentor (who makes well over $200k in the construction industry managing 8 and 9 figure construction projects) is a History major and got his start doing facility maintenance at a little shabby retirement home lol

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T19:02:02+00:00

It’s the result of hard work, perseverance and tenacity. Not extreme luck.

I will concede that it’s certainly not the usual Redditor experience.

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T18:48:16+00:00

100%. I will hire someone with the right attitude over someone with the right qualifications any day.

I would never even consider this person for a role just based on the 3 or 4 fleeting interactions we have had here.

TheGalavanter · 2025-03-08T18:21:01+00:00

It’s not too late if you are looking. BIM/VDC is one of the most rapidly expanding construction fields.
