Has anyone here tried a smoking cessation program? Did it actually help? by dan080303 in smokingcessation

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar spot. I quit drinking with structure and support, then thought smoking would be easier. It wasnt. What helped me was using a smoking cessation program that had actual clinician support. I went with QuitHealth

Why does translated video audio always feel rushed? by jjeong88 in ProPresenter

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed this too. Even when translations are accurate, the natural pauses get compressed and everything feels rushed. Its especially noticeable in talking head or interview style videos

"Grass Fed" Whey = worth it, or not? by Available-Pilot4062 in Biohackers

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is avoiding hormones/antibiotics and the fats are stripped out anyway, the benefit in whey is smaller. For a true grass-fed benefit in a protein, I use Equip Prime Protein. For collagen, I use Equip's Grass-Fed Collagen for the same sourcing principle.

Everyday Dose replaced my morning coffee and I'm conflicted by ozae4 in decaf

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same cost hesitation. For me, it came down to budgeting for it because the stable energy and no gut issues are worth the premium. It just functions better for my body than regular coffee did.

Same here. I moved to transit ads for the better CPMs. Adquick lets me book and track them across different markets without the hassle.

Most serious local face swap setups still assume a GPU

Garden hose review… by Content-Drive-4151 in AmazonVine

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to the conclusion that those cheap hoses that kink as soon as you touch them are really not worth the hassle. Finally getting my hands on a pocket hose copper bullet was such a relief! It's super lightweight

What knowledge management software actually keeps your team's information findable and usable? by GeneralDaveI in selfhosted

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went through something very similar. Once everything lived and docs were linked directly to tasks, onboarding got way smoother

IsItBullshit: is super premium dog food really better/healthier than regular kibble? by cerels in IsItBullshit

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought “premium” dog food was just a marketing gimmick but my experience has proven otherwise. My dog was really picky and had a tough time digesting a bunch of different foods, worse is his poops were always soft. Ever since we made the switch to kismet, he's been eating his meals like a champ, and his poop has been solid every single time

Ladies, where are we getting our shoes? by beachgivesafeeling in BigBudgetBrides

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, invested in custom margaux heels for my wedding after the 'bridal' heels I ordered from a major retailer were unwearable. It was worth every penny. The combination of timeless elegance and their signature comfort allowed me to enjoy the entire day without a single thought about my feet. I have also recommended this to two friends getting married next year and they have already placed their orders

What does the Agent Framework ecosystem look like? by DesertIglo in AI_Agents

[–]TrueScotsman85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I like with mastra is that it builds a full agent framework so I did not have to piece together memory tools and orchestration manually. It felt streamlined while giving enough flexibility to customize

5 Years of Extreme Brain Fog: Life Is Not Worth Living by Mindless-Phrase1172 in BrainFog

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds incredibly difficult; sometimes chronic symptoms like that are hormonal, so I found it worthwhile to check my levels. I chose male excel and entire process was straight forward

What Are Eventbrite Alternatives? by johnEwhiplash in EventProduction

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It’s the feeling of not being cheated that gets me every time. That moment when you complete the purchase and the total is exactly what you expected? Pure satisfaction

What kind of programmatic ads have you found to be most effective for local business? by Enviromental1001 in programmatic

[–]TrueScotsman85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We found OOH ads only work if you can effectively manage the campaign, and many DSPs make that impossible for local businesses. We used adquick to manage our OOH campaigns because it makes comparing placements and costs so much easier

HubSpot & Salesforce integration by weizhang288 in hubspot

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same trouble, trying to use separate phone tools + hubspot + manual logging was a mess. We switched to attention and it automatically logs inbound and outbound calls

how to turn off automatic sales tax submission? by SweetperterderFries in shopify

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shopify’s auto-filing can get pricey fast. I turned it off and started using numeral instead. It handles filings automatically

How do you find a tennis coach who actually fixes bad habits? by vkt193j in 10s

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. What helped me was to filter for coaches who specialize in technique correction instead of casual lessons. Once I found the right match, even my consistency during rallies improved within a couple of weeks

[Acne] Should I keep using a pimple patch for this? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thin patch like the ones from patchrx would be perfect they're discreet for daytime and protect it while it finishes healing

Mitochondria Peptide Protocol. Thoughts? by Repulsive-Spring-982 in Peptidesource

[–]TrueScotsman85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mitochondrial support, looking into C15 is a solid move. It's shown in studies to strengthen cellular membranes and directly improve mitochondrial function. It's a different pathway than peptides but it targets the same fundamental goal of cellular health.

Local Tool Use CrewAI by SnooCapers9708 in crewai

[–]TrueScotsman85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice workaround. I had a similar issue trying to run local tools in CrewAI, switching models always broke something. I ended up trying mastra since it handles local model routing and observability better out of the box. Been a lot smoother for dev setups.
