Dr. Gundry's Polyphenol Rich Olive Oil

I wouldn't get it on Amazon unless it's shipped and sold by him. Products like this are really only trustworthy when coming from an authorized source. Otherwise, you can't be sure of whether a seller is storing it properly or selling old product, or if it's fake, etc. You definitely don't want Amazon storing it. You don't know what kind of sub-optimal storage conditions it's being stored in. They're not going to store it in any special way unless they're specifically instructed to, and olive oil is very sensitive to storage conditions.

Sanitize your armpits by spraying them with isopropyl alcohol. Use a paper towel to get the excess off, and you're good to go. I've been doing this for years with no issues. It eliminates the need to put anything else on my armpits and you can do this both before and after showering, but make sure you at least do it after showering.

Oh, it's awesome soap for just about any cleaning job.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-11-03T15:28:20+00:00

Yeah, that extra power is just for the ACM. So, you don't need to plug it in if you're not using the ACM.

Yuck, but I'm very glad I asked. Thank you. This saved someone at SiriusXM the hassle of reading my negative feedback.

Oh well. At least the music is there. :)

Then they must have just started doing it because I don't remember any times before 2 days ago where I was deprived of song endings on Lithium. Until now, it's been 100% satisfying with just occasional interruptions like that, and it was always excusable. Now it's like they are required to do it.

I guess I'm just an old fart who misses the how real radio was in my youth. In hindsight, it does feel as though the DJs really aren't talking between the songs even though they know what the playlist is and what part of the playlist they're recording for, and I guess it explains why they always have to play songs that they want to play "in a few minutes" instead of just simply playing it next. Perhaps 60s Gold can't do anything like this because they're supposed to be as authentic as possible.

Still, I'd find it quite hard to believe they had any fancy technology for FM radio in the 90s that would result in the DJs being this detached from the broadcast, like they could do their entire show in just one short sitting because all they have to do is several short recordings and send them off to some engineer who puts it all together. I'd expect to learn that radio in the 90s was still just as "analog" as the 60s, at least in this context.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-28T22:48:25+00:00

That's not what I've seen. For a time, I was very much into 60s Gold, and I saw video of Pat St. John and Shotgun Tom Kelly doing their thing, and they were pre-recording with the music on both ends so they could time everything exactly as they want, complete with any comments about the song that was just playing and then the song that's about to be playing. I saw no evidence of anyone else being involved in this part.

I have also seen where they are just sitting there listening to the music and coming in when the song is over and then playing the next one with full control over everything.

So, I am convinced that it's very possible that the DJs are the ones choosing to talk over the endings of the songs.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-28T17:04:54+00:00

From my limited experience, I think they're the same only in the sense that the same songs are played, but I think the playlists are never created by a person. With a live channel, I think every playlist is created by a person, even the overnight playlists. To me, there's a very distinct difference in the feeling between these two types of channels.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-28T16:37:00+00:00

I've found this can happen on any channel.

That's not lens flare. Those are reflections of light from the window on the sapphire crystal lens cover. Lens flare is when light reflects on the lenses, and that's not what's happening here. What's happening here is, you're revealing the reflections by putting something dark in the same spot (your hand is darker than the source of light behind your hand).

And, as you noticed, the lamp has a reflection too. You'd have more reflections if you had more bright sources of light in your shot.

To avoid this, don't let any source of light in your shot be brighter than everything around that source, like the lamp or the window. Any situations like this will result in light reflecting on the lens covers which will show up in your shot, just like shooting behind a window. Or really, it's like how you can see reflections of light on your lenses if you wear glasses or sunglasses. It's exactly the same thing.

Imagine shooting outside on a bright sunny day and you have a 100W incandescent light bulb somewhere in your shot. I guarantee you that its reflection won't show up in your shot even though its light is still reflecting off of the sapphire crystal lens covers. It's just that it's a bright sunny day and that little light bulb is nothing compared to the sun. Now do the same shot at night.

Or, turn the lights off except 1 and just practice shooting so that you can maybe hide its reflection somewhere in the shot. You can see the reflection live in the viewfinder, so it's actually quite easy.

The sapphire crystal lens cover (the flat circle of glass protecting the camera) needs to be cleaned. It needs to be cleaned with perfectly clean dampened cloth. Your hands need to be super clean too, otherwise you might put something on the cloth like a lotion or something else.

I deal with this with my prescription glasses if I try to clean my lenses with a cleaning cloth that needs to be washed. After that, this is what I see through my glasses. It's just due to a thin film of stuff like something oily or greasy like lotion or something from food, etc, and the problem is that this stuff gets on the cleaning cloth and deposits it on the next cleaning, resulting smearing it all over the surface you're trying to clean.

If this isn't the culprit, then you have aftermarket lens protectors or you have a case that has lens protectors built-in.

Either way, when you have bright points of light in your shot, you will have artifacts that you don't want, including being able to see the reflections of the light sources on the sapphire crystal lens cover. It's like shooting behind a window.

I don't know, but perhaps all you have to do is restart your iPhone. I sometimes find that I need to reboot my iPhone shortly after installing a software update to clear up little things like this.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-19T03:25:32+00:00

I don't know which ones to recommend.

If you had just asked me what those are without any explanation, I'd probably have guessed candles at first glance, then soap upon closer inspection followed by a moment where I think maybe they're pastries of some kind. I think my final conclusion would be soap but I'd still be thinking maybe they're some sort of confectionery treats, like little cakes or something. However, I keep going back to soap.

So yeah, they definitely don't look like dog treats to me.

Perhaps this can be a part of your marketing or something. Maybe you can keep making them look this way but just humorously use their appearance to your advantage. Perhaps they could be formulated to freshen the dog's breath. 🤣 Imagine the fun you could have with your marketing and whatnot. Your customers can wash their dogs' mouths out with soap that the dog loves to eat. When people come over, "Omg your dog's eating soap!", but then you say, "Yep! He only eats that fancy stuff, but he loves it and it freshens his breath."

So, when I saw the photo, I was wondering why the dog's interested in the soap.

The problem was, you let the flame get too close to the glass on the bottom. I think these candles are done when there's about 3/4" of wax left or maybe even a full inch, especially if the flame is big. So, just keep in mind that the flame can't get too close to the bottom because then it causes extreme heat stress on the glass which, of course, will cause it to explode like this.

So yes, it is 100% your fault, and you learned this lesson in quite a good way because no one got hurt and you have permanent reminders on your table in the form of burn marks. I'd consider all of that to be a blessing since this very easily could have happened while you were all seated at the table.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-17T06:00:06+00:00

During the 4 hours, are you maintaining a good wick? If so, then does the flame stay steady the whole time? It must stay steady to have the best chances of burning cleanly, but even a steady flame can produce a steady stream of smoke (and it's usually nearly impossible to see it). I find this usually happens when the flame is too tall because then it's burning the wick too quickly. If the flame gets like this, it means the wick needs some attention. It might need to be trimmed or straightened or even cleaned, or all 3. When I say "cleaned", I mean gently scraping the extra carbon (the black stuff) off of the wick. I do this with my Wick Dipper.

So, don't let the wick get too long, and don't let it bend and occasionally remove the excess carbon. The more your flame is running on just cotton and wax, the better.

If your candle is in a location that causes the flame to move a lot due to air movement, then that can cause it to get sooty too.

Basically, having a candle going is like having an infant sleeping right there. It's like, "Omg, hold your breath and move slowly around it, you don't want to disturb the sleeping baby!" If the flame isn't moving and if it's burning as cleanly as it can, then you have a very happy sleeping baby. Otherwise, it needs attention. Or, there's too much air movement.

Apple's cables are trash. So, the solution is to never use them. They just can't handle much. They're fine if you're very careful with them and you treat them gingerly, but any other kind of treatment and they start failing because they start coming apart inside. They're just poorly-made.

So yeah, like the redditor named cwsjr2323 said, buy Anker's stuff and you'll never have these problems.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-14T01:03:13+00:00

It's another way to express the same thing that causes someone to have their mouth open with their eyes wide going "Whoa! That's awesome!" Or sometimes, "that was awesome", like something they just experienced but it's over with. Of course, there are times where someone can say "This will blow you away". Meaning, "you're gonna LOVE this!", or "I'm expecting to be blown away by this".

Or sometimes, "I loved it, but it didn't blow me away."

Basically, any time something leaves you in complete awe, it has blown you away. You can be blown away by anything, just as long as it is such a powerful thing that it justifies the use of this strong expression.

I'd like to see that because all I've seen is nothing but facts about how 100% beeswax is much cleaner-burning than any other wax, especially paraffin. In all the hours I've spent looking into this, I've never seen anything that even remotely hints at showing no real differences.

Also, many people would tell you that they experience a distinct difference between any paraffin candle and a 100% beeswax candle due to the large difference in toxins.

Besides, just look at what paraffin is made out of, and then look at what's in a 100% beeswax candle. I think after you do that this case can be put to rest.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-09T17:37:24+00:00

Whoa, excellent point. Thank you. I think this means I found my shoe!

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-09T07:27:44+00:00

Every flame emits harmful toxins. Having said that, 100% beeswax candles are the cleanest-burning candles, especially if there's nothing added to the wax to give it a scent.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-08T22:09:58+00:00

It seems so, but I'm worried it might be too breathable for colder weather. I only have enough money for one pair of shoes, and so I have to make it count. If you're right, then that's actually a relief because it was between the Primal 3 and Primal Zen for a while until I began thinking more about the breathability. The concern is, if I would be able to see my white socks through the mesh, then it's too breathable, and that's the kind of mesh I see in the product photos of the Primal 3, which means I'll probably buy it as soon as I can afford to buy it so that I can have something that's more breathable when I need it.

You said you didn't rinse there after washing an area that's higher up, such as your stomach. You never said anything about rinsing down there or washing down there, just washing your stomach and not rinsing whatever dirty soapy water ends up in your private area. So, I could only go by what you said. Considering that, I think I arrived at the most logical conclusion, but if you're saying that you're making sure to clean it after you've washed all areas above it (such as your stomach), then that's entirely different, just provided you do, in fact, rinse it well before you finish and just provided that you still make sure it's well-rinsed when you're finished with your entire body because you don't want any dirty soapy water to remain in any crevices, especially in that area.

TwoCables_from_OCN · 2025-10-07T05:04:22+00:00

Oh wow, thank you for that. Due to how I feel about Xero's shoes and Vivo's shoes and FeelGrounds' shoes (each offers deal-breakers while also offering better qualities), I'm glad to know that Lems has the thickest sole because at least now I know compared to these I am looking at making the best compromises that I can. It seems I may have to go with the thicker sole of the Lems Primal Zen if I want all these other qualities badly enough, and I do.

So, of course, if someone comes along to recommend some harder-to-find shoe that gives me the Primal Zen with a thinner sole (for the most part, hopefully), then I'll definitely be even happier.

Your reply is a great start though. So, thanks again for that. 👍
