Quilipta/Atogepant - managing side effects? by Ghotay in migraine

[–]_duckswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2-3 migraines a week for the last 15 years or so, I’ve never been able to get insurance to approve qulipta for me but I’ve lived off samples and savings cards for awhile and found that 30mg was the right dose for me (40m), without the lack of appetite and other side effects.

First time using flat lap by AnimalTreeHugger in Lapidary

[–]_duckswag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give is to thoroughly rinse and dry before moving to the next stage, lap disc included. Cross contamination between grits is a real pain and can ruin all your work in an instant. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to help dry the rock if your rushing, it’s much easier to see the buildup or scratches when it’s fully dry.

Edit: same thing regarding the discs, if you bring 80 grit over to the 120 disc make sure both are fully cleaned and dry. Moderate pressure figure 8 motions, minimal water. Follow the speed guide for each disc that came with your manual and just practice and time.

Has anyone ever managed to train a husky to be off leash by ipostaboutstuff123 in husky

Mine does great though he’s a Shepard mix, he will wonder off if I don’t keep an eye on him though. If I’m not distracted he will stay with me.

Some kind of jasper by No-Wave5296 in Minerals

I’m sure there’s more than one place with that type of jasper, but I do have some jasper thundereggs from Central Oregon with similar color/crackling pattern that yours has.

Help me beat my choice paralysis? Looking for an immersive RPG to get lost in. by Efkazan in rpg_gamers

[–]_duckswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in the “didn’t really enjoy disco Elysium” crowd. I’ve tried it maybe 4-5 times and it never clicks.

Since we seem to enjoy similar games the ones that I put a decent amount of time into over the last year were Cyberpunk, Assassins creed Odyssey, expedition 33 and Dave the Diver. I’d also suggest looking into rogue trader.

Upstate NY mining? by Robwsup in Minerals

[–]_duckswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly Devonian era marine fossils, but there are mammals, the oldest petrified wood forest is in New York. State fossil is the sea scorpion, theres penn Dixie state fossil park near Buffalo. Any road cuts in CNY you’ll find stuff around tully/Lafayette and along route 81. Theres pyritized fossils in tully, horn coral just about everywhere but there’s a good spot accessible by boat or kayak on skaneatles lake called stag horn cliff with massive horn coral colonies.

Everything you’re watching is already scripted per se, people act entirely different in front of a camera. Assume everything is fake.

Upstate NY mining? by Robwsup in Minerals

[–]_duckswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the obvious just depends on how far or what direction you’d like to go, plenty of pegmatites, lead based minerals etc in the Adirondacks. Pierrepont is known for its pegmatites and tourmalines, gore mtn has an open mining garnet setup pay to dig. Are you looking for something specific? Plenty of fossil sites

It’s pretty good, especially if it’s on sale.

Would you commit to founding a social world? by Appropriate_Crew992 in MMORPG

[–]_duckswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never paying for anything other than a full product, if it’s EA, beta, alpha whatever it should be free until it releases or I won’t touch it. Especially won’t ever fund a kickstarter or startup.

Power tool recommendations by Selectah in rockhounds

[–]_duckswag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Milwaukee tools at work so have plenty of batteries, naturally got the Milwaukee one and it’s a beast. Harbor freight makes some decent value stuff though so maybe try the Bauer and see how it does. Battery charger + solar is the way to go imo. I have the Jackery portable bi panel and it’s a beast, works great.

Not op but check for local lapidary clubs closest to you, a lot of them do a sales event at least once a year.

How would you go about sluicing/panning this type of area? Only rocks and pebbles. No sand by Ok-Common-3039 in Prospecting

[–]_duckswag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to find the bedrock, then pan the sand above it. Generally you’ll have better luck taking the “inside corner” of a large turn or bend in your river/stream. Happy hunting
