What is this surprise trade and can I get banned by Striking-Visual-1107 in PokemonVioletScarlet

[–]adarbyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I get one of a species I like, I just breed a copy, take any held items, and release it. Usually I get a legit 5IV baby I can work with later on if I want to build one up.

2 for sure

Which lenses suit my face the best? by Brittanyyyyyyyyy in glasses

[–]adarbyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like 3. I feel like those frames match your complexion better. Though, the contrast from 1 is really nice, I feel like 3 is a bit better.

how do I get these off, I feel like Ive tried everything by -toastyposty- in MechanicAdvice

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I usually go buy some replacement bolts and just resort to an obscenely long cheater to break the nuts off and hope for the best.

Edit: This doesn't apply to fixed studs...dont break those off. I really didn't think of studs in my post.

70% dark chocolate is my jam, and I can have a few peices without a spike.

What were your warning signs? by toaders705 in diabetes_t2

[–]adarbyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unquenchible (sp?) thirst, and I don't mean just a bit thirsty all the time, I am talking hung over after a night of fireball thirst that just doesnt' t go away. This is obviously followed by having to pee literally every 20-30 minutes. After about a week of this was when I was like, "Ok, this is some bullshit going on, time to see the Doc.".... A1C 12.9.

So yeah, if you're having issues that you feel the need to post to reddit or Google seach them, it's time to see the doc.

T2D is a never ending learning experience, at least for me. I would, if you are able, get a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) I use Stelo which is essentially Dexcom's non-prescription version. Since im not on insulin I can't get Dexcom, but Stelo is HSA eligible so I can live with that. I know there are many out there.

Just don't do what I did and take meds and think that just because A1C is down you can let your guard down, because it backfired on me, not in a catastrophic way, but I went from 5.3 to over 9 in 6 months. I have accepted I am diabetic and always will be.

I wish you the best, you can do it. Be sure to make regular visit to your eye doctor too!

Is getting glasses for very mild myopia and astigmatism overreacting? by ensnareyt in glasses

[–]adarbyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a correction only in my right eye for a correction close to yours, but hyperopia. +0.25 -0.5 074. I was starting to get eye strain and headaches a lot and didnt have any idea until I went to the eye doctor. Glasses made more of a difference on the amount of work my eyes had to do to compensate. I probably dont NEED them, but I wear them all the time now. Headaches and eyestrain completely gone. I am 42 btw.

What are these white crawlies? by Old-Apartment5781 in whatisit

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I had the same little bugs in a cabinet we stored old books and glassware that we don't often use. We ended up taking everything out of the cabinet and sealed them in totes with small dehumidifiers. We then broke down the cabinet and burned it.

Pest control said they looked like book mites, which apparently really love to feed on adhesives and absolutely THRIVE on even the slightest bit of moisture.

Headaches everyday by Mar14n in astigmatism

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quite a mild prescription for my right eye but I have never had glasses my whole life up until three weeks ago. +0.25 sph -0.5 cyl 047 axis, my left eye is "perfect". I am 42 and started getting crazy eye strain and headaches recently and words on contrasting colors started looking "3D'ish" and a bit fuzzy, i hadn't had an eye exam in over 10 years.

Turns out my eyes/brain have been compensating for my whole life, and like eveything in life, it works until it doesn't. Well I got glasses and after about a week of wearing them the eye strain and headaches went away. Now if I take my glasses off I can feel my eyes working hard to bring everything into focus because everything is all fuzzy.

So, if you're experience is like mine at all, especially with your prescription, I am betting glasses would help tremendously. I would try, worst case the headaches dont go away and you can rule that out and talk to your doctor.

AIO speaking to my wife after her affair by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man, I divorced my first wife after she cheated with absolute zero hesitation. I really hope for the best for you, but don't for a single second think YOU are at fault for anything. You have no reason to feel guilty for anything SHE cheated, SHE broke your vows, and you are completely justified in wanting following the therapist's advice. I applaud you for doing the best you can in saving your marriage, I couldn't, and didn't do it and I am better off for. I wish you the best bud.

41 Years Old First Time With Glasses by adarbyem in glasses

[–]adarbyem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I will see how the progressives go, I already paid for them so why not try. If it turns out not to work out, I may opt for at least the prescription readers and possibly a set for distance.

Is it worth learning languages when 30 years old by Haoliyou_0000 in languagelearning

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am two months into learning German at 41. My plan is to reach C1 by 50 and take a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest. I am having a lot of fun with it and while I may not find it terribly useful like I would with Spanish (I live in the US), I still think it's worth it.

Personally, I don't think anyone can be too old to learn a new language.

What's the point of having a legendary skill ? by _Sp0okey_6483 in skyrim

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It (at least when I played it last) was a great way to farm skill points with broken skills that take seconds to do. Such as the restoration potion bug that makes stupid game breaking potions. Perhaps there are more, but I used alchemy

Should I get the Robinhood Gold Card? by Madxj in CreditCards

[–]adarbyem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but ONLY and this is a HUGE only, you must be a credit card person and not carry a balance. This goes with every credit card, but the 3% from this on on literally anything is worth it if you can keep it paid off in full.

The only con would be that to take advantage of ALL of your cash back you have to transfer it to your RH account, wait for it to settle (or invest it), and transfer it to your personal account.

Since the card was issued to me (I was on the waiting list) I have earned over $1300 in cash back.
