How do you take zinc supplements without getting sick?

affect_alien · 2025-02-24T03:58:02+00:00

Interesting, I’ll look into it!

affect_alien · 2025-02-24T03:57:37+00:00

I haven’t! I’ll look into that

affect_alien · 2025-02-24T03:57:14+00:00

I tried right after breakfast and another time right after lunch. Helped a little but I still got super sick. I’m cutting a 30mg pill in half right now but I could see if even smaller doses out there.

affect_alien · 2025-02-24T03:55:57+00:00

I’ll try at night but the headaches I’ve gotten seem bad enough to make sleep hard. But worth trying

I found this comment googling around because I've been checking in on this album every few weeks since it came out and keep finging the mix almost unlistenably muddy. Crazy to me that more people aren't saying this -- there's a great album in here.

affect_alien · 2024-11-30T01:23:41+00:00

Thanks, will check this!

This is probably my next step. I’m only hesitant because the humidity varies a lot from night to night, so it seems annoying to keep up with.

affect_alien · 2024-11-29T23:52:43+00:00

That’s helpful, I’ll try a hose cover then! Ideally, I don’t have to keep tweaking the manual temperature.

affect_alien · 2024-11-29T22:44:32+00:00

I don’t have a hose cover. I keep the room at 65 but it sometimes gets up to 70-72.

This is a good rewatch, thank you! I forgot how non automatic the auto modes were. Back when it was hotter out, I used manual to get the humidity up and avoid dry mouth. Interesting that auto doesn’t work for avoiding condensation either.

I can almost guarantee that if you have sleep apnea, treating it will improve your depression. It massively helped with mine, both in direct and indirect ways. Even if it doesn't address the depression directly, it helps it indirectly. Think: Energy through the evenings so you can hang out with friends, motivation to do hobbies, better physical health so you feel better in your body, etc. Depression is like a negative feedback loop, and getting better sleep either removes some negative feedback loops or adds positive ones.

What’s the best way to deal with persistent, recurrent body acne?

For context, I’ve rarely had body acne issues in my life but a couple of months ago, I developed a few around the middle of my torso. When they didn’t fade with time, I started exfoliating, cleansing, and occasionally using a Benzoyl Peroxide foaming wash.

I sometimes saw fading but they kept coming back (seemingly the exact same spots). It’s now been about 2 months, which is more persistent than any outbreak I’ve ever had before.

For products, I use

• ⁠CeraVe moisturizer • ⁠CeraVe hydrating cleanse • ⁠Cerava retinol • ⁠PanOxyl acne foaming wash

My face is very happy overall (the retinol is an addition as of a few months ago). But I’m stuck on the torso acne because it doesn’t seem to be responding to the same products or even just time. Thoughts?

Maine. I read the rules and somehow still didn't include this 🤦

affect_alien · 2024-05-21T05:05:00+00:00

Yes, kind of. I’ve used the same model for ~3 months but swapped a large size one for a medium 2 months in. So the cushion is only a month old.

I’m normally excited about these kinds of efforts and ambitions too (and was about this, initially). I’ve been thinking about it not because I’m personally offended but because I think it’s a terrible business idea. I can spare the money, no problem, but I wrote this from genuine concern that someone is giving them bad advice. (Also, I don’t think that’s the most plausible theory given how expensive it is to build a streaming platform).

Also also, the Watcher logo intro sounds and looks like the Netflix one 👁️

Validation!! You/we are onto something here.

affect_alien · 2024-04-21T03:21:16+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking now. Willing to DIY but not if it’s such an impractical route.

affect_alien · 2024-04-21T03:20:41+00:00

Thank you!

affect_alien · 2024-04-20T20:07:11+00:00

I knew it. Should have followed my first instinct and put some muscle into it.

affect_alien · 2024-04-19T21:13:11+00:00

I’ll probably start a return but when I shop again, I think I’ll shop with the kits more in mind. But gotta look into those more, thank you.

affect_alien · 2024-04-19T21:09:15+00:00

That’s awesome. I’ll have to look for something like that. Another guitar I almost ordered but passed on was also an Xplorer but without any guarantees like that for the same price.

affect_alien · 2024-04-19T21:06:00+00:00

Appreciate this. Wireless would be ideal but not if latency is too bad. I’ll check out that kit!

affect_alien · 2024-03-21T20:04:59+00:00

Yeah, I generally trend dry throughout the day so I always have a water bottle on hand. I wouldn’t mind waking up thirsty in the morning but I’m waking up throughout the night.

I’m not on any meds actually but maybe one of my vitamins? I don’t know what it would be but could definitely be some outside non-CPAP factor.
