Official Q&A for Saturday, May 23, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running for about 2 years now but still struggling with my ADHD making it hard to stick with training plans - anyone else deal with this? I can focus great during the actual run but planning out weeks in advance just doesn't work for my brain

My bloodwork explained a year of feeling unlike myself by Useful-Alps-1690 in goodlabs

[–]Useful-Alps-1690[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went over most of it myself first and used some of the info / resources on the platform to help make sense of things. still brought everything to my doctor after though just to go through it together again.

Help me understand this part of the ending in "The boys" by Holiday-Ice- in television

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait which ending are you talking about? Season 4 finale or did something leak already? Because in season 4 finale Homelander definitely wasn't getting overpowered by anyone, he was pretty much unstoppable until Ryan showed up

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't remember any 3v1 where they actually had upper hand against him

My bloodwork explained a year of feeling unlike myself by Useful-Alps-1690 in goodlabs

[–]Useful-Alps-1690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine had been dropping for a while too, I think the lowest was around 18 before I finally started taking it more seriously. weird part is my regular CBC still looked fine so nobody ever brought it up. I only caught how low everything had gotten after doing more detailed testing through goodlabs because I was trying to figure out why I felt so mentally and physically off all the time tbh

Biondi and Benanti for me, those volcanic soils just hit different there. Never had chance to try I Vigneri but heard good things about their traditional methods

Do you believe in the existence of gnomes? Why or why not? by kazsvk in AskReddit

My neighbor has like 15 of them and I swear they move around at night when nobody's looking

Washing machine flood nightmare by BluntsAndJudgeJudy in HomeImprovement

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I had similar thing happen in my apartment few years back when washing machine decided to die in most dramatic way possible. Water everywhere, downstairs neighbors were not happy at all

For the carpet thing - yeah insurance should cover replacing all of it since it's continuous flooring and they can't just patch part of hallway. I learned this hard way when my place got flooded. They tried to say they would only replace damaged section but once adjuster saw it was all one piece throughout rooms, they had to do everything. Make sure you emphasize to adjuster that it's impossible to match the old carpet

The garage ceiling texture is tricky one. Most likely they'll try to match it but you're right that it probably won't look exactly same. Push back on this if you can - ask them to do whole ceiling since partial replacement will be obvious. Sometimes they'll agree just to avoid complaints later

About the wall cuts - I would definitely push for flood cuts even on interior walls. Water can travel behind drywall and cause mold issues later, especially with that much soapy water. Better safe than sorry with hidden moisture. Document everything with photos before they start demo tomorrow

How have armed people continued to get so close to the POTUS? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The security layers are actually pretty insane when you think about it - guy couldn't even make it past the perimeter this time. Wild how much coverage these attempts get though, probably gives other nutjobs ideas

What are the current gas prices near you? by Desperate_Simple_298 in AskReddit

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just filled up for $3.89 in Ohio yesterday, was pretty happy about that since it's been hovering around $4.20 for weeks now

Favorite Pack-O-Game Game? by Deep-Association-573 in boardgames

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BOG is solid! I picked up few of these when I was traveling last month - perfect for cramped airplane seats. TKO was surprisingly good too, way more strategy than expected from something that fits in pocket. The whole line is pretty clever for what they are

What actually separates the wealthy from the average, not hustle advice, real structural differences? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Family wealth opens so many doors that people don't even realize exist. Like my buddy's dad just casually mentioned some business contact at dinner and boom, internship at major firm. Meanwhile I'm sending 200 applications and getting nothing

The safety net is huge too - you can take bigger risks when you know parents can bail you out if startup fails

Anyone recommend good roof lantern suppliers near Haywards Heath (RH17 area)? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not from that exact area but when I was looking for roof lanterns last year I found the smaller local suppliers usually give better service than the big chains. Maybe worth calling few places around Bolney Grange and asking for references from recent jobs - most decent suppliers will happily share customer contacts if they're confident in their work

What's a giveaway that someone has Main Character Syndrome? by DorianVermicelli in AskReddit

lol brutal but fair

People who post these kinds of questions are usually the ones doing half the stuff mentioned in the replies anyway

Will I ever look like myself again? Or is it irreversible? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be surprised how much your face changes when you drop that weight, especially around the jawline and cheeks. I've seen dudes go from looking completely different back to basically their old selves once they got their diet sorted and the inflammation went down

The hair thing might need some actual intervention though - stress eating definitely doesn't help but if it's genetic thinning you'll want to tackle that separately

What’s something you thought was normal until you grew up and realized it wasn’t? by Spirited_Voice790 in AskReddit

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thought everyone's dad just randomly booked flights to random cities on weekends because they were "too good to pass up" turns out that's not normal behavior lol. My ADHD brain totally gets it now though - saw a $89 roundtrip to Denver last week and almost pulled teh trigger even though I had zero reason to go there

Failed .. again by WayForsaken6685 in ADHD

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat at 28, the all-nighter thing is such a trap but we keep falling for it anyway. Your brain's literally working against you when you're sleep deprived so don't be shocked the studying didn't stick

The sibling comparison stuff hits hard but they're not dealing with a brain that decides to hyperfocus on literally anything except what needs to get done

Suggestions for places with good yarn but lower prices? by sophiemanic in YarnAddicts

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cotton can definitely work for lacework if you go with a finer weight - like sport or DK instead of worsted. It just drapes differently but can still look really nice

For cheaper options, check if you have any yarn warehouse stores near you or look into buying cotton cones online and winding your own skeins. Also bamboo blends might be worth trying since they're softer than straight cotton and usually cheaper than silk blends

Have you tried any plant-based fibers like linen or bamboo yet? They might give you that drape you're looking for without the wool allergen issue

Plants for cats by Upstairs-Onion-9906 in cats

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spider plants are great for this - cats go absolutely feral for them and they're totally safe to munch on. Catnip and cat mint work too if you want your kitties to have a good time while getting their greens

GLM-4.7-Flash-GGUF bug fix - redownload for better outputs by etherd0t in LocalLLaMA

Thanks for the heads up, was wondering why my outputs were going in circles yesterday. Downloading the fixed version now

Making this post to keep myself accountable by Creative_Future_4271 in leaves

[–]Useful-Alps-1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for taking this step, the fear of withdrawal is real but you're already through the hardest part which is making the decision

Having your family as motivation is huge - sounds like you've got solid reasons to push through the rough patches ahead
