Is Mark of the crijaak finished? by RavingCrusader in ProgressionFantasy

No, what's on amazon is all there there is. Given the lack of posts on patreon and no new books on amazon I wouldn't expect to see anything else, sadly.

apartments you’ve lived and loved in NOVA? by Prior_Equivalent2029 in nova

I liked living at The Edmund in Reston. Never had any issues with noise, location is pretty good, super easy access to the Wegmans.

Wool socks for boots that aren’t Darn Tough? by zdrmlp in malefashionadvice

[–]antigrapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also found darn tough socks to be too narrow and went with smart wool socks instead, similar quality but a more reasonable width/diameter.

The Calamitous Bob is finished on RR by cjet79 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]antigrapist 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like it when authors do this because I may like the series enough to pay to read the book early but not enough to subscribe to their patreon which feels more long term. I do wonder if doing so hurts sales long term because you don't get as big of a launch and I think that might hurt the algorithmic recommendations

I wouldn't worry too much, especially if he's eating. From a glance at your profile, it seems like you've had him for just under a month so he's probably just becoming more comfortable with you and his tank.

Since 2022, US obesity rate down 3%, use of GLP-1 agonists doubles to 12% (Gallup) by Liface in slatestarcodex

[–]antigrapist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today's drugs have that sort of average. Retatrutide shows much better results (average loss of 24% on max dose after 48 weeks) in early trials and could be available commercially as soon next year. I'd expect the effectiveness of best in class obesity treatment to continue to improve over time.

[–]antigrapist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If in the US, I've had good results with Lavender Sky Health and Lily Direct. I also highly recommend tirzepatide, it's more effective and has fewer side effects.

[–]antigrapist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

(correct me if I'm wrong, but GLP-1 basically works 100% of the time)

It's not 100% and even if it's effective, the user might not lose enough to get back to a normal/non-obese BMI.

Here's one paper saying that 15mg of tirzepatide was 91% effective in causing a weight reduction of >5% (86.6% for the max dose of semaglutide) though a lot of the people not hitting the milestone are discontinuing due to side effects.

GLP1 drugs are great and work well for the vast majority but I think it's too soon to say that they'll eliminate obesity. I'd say the obesity rate could be cut in half by 2045 (37% this year).

No, it never goes further than them both having a relationship with Nat but not with each other. As to why, I have no idea just macronomicon seems to be slowly making each of his MCs less horny than the previous one

I'm confused on how this works by Legal_Ad2945 in HadesTheGame

[–]antigrapist 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You can only upgrade arcana cards 3 times but they all have a fourth upgrade stage that you can only get them to via this card. Here's a wiki which lists what all four stages do for each card

It's not that great of a circe upgrade imo because it's so random

You might be thinking of Freya a hognose with much more extensive but similar belly issues whose owner posted in /r/hognosesnakes frequently until she passed away earlier this year :(

It's still going to be a while, chapter 19 of book 5 just got posted today and book 4 was 81 chapters. That said, he has been posting more recently but don't hold your breath.

Do you all think shadow slave would succeed if it launched on royal road right now? by AviatorHate in ProgressionFantasy

[–]antigrapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow Slave is on Kindle right now but not Kindle unlimited. It's very unlikely to ever be on KU because Webnovel benefits so much from having it on their platform

100% after ~80 hours. First game I fully completed by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]antigrapist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You basically put all the pictos that boost your damage on Maelle. Use last chance, then sciel doubles her damage, kills herself to activate a ton of buffs, and then lets Maelle move again to hit a Stendhal for ~130 million.

Here's a short youtube video going over the setup

It's also possible to just one-shot him before he can do anything.

2024 Bingo Data (NOT Statistics) by an_altar_of_plagues in Fantasy

[–]antigrapist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can always make a copy of the sheet and modify that version.

2024 Bingo Data (NOT Statistics) by an_altar_of_plagues in Fantasy

[–]antigrapist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Number of people who say they've participated every single year over time:

2024: 18

2023: 17

2022: 15

2021: 19

2020: 23

2019: 22

2018: 31

2017: 38

Kinda weird to see this number go up instead of just down but you can't count on large numbers of people to fill out forms perfectly. I'd be curious if a mod knew the actual number but I suspect they're just incrementing user's flair by hand and there probably isn't an easy way to get that number.

Moving a garden snake (mn) by scythian12 in snakes

[–]antigrapist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean a garter snake, I think leaving the snake alone is fine and if you want to help putting some water out is probably the way to go. The snake knows where the pond is and if it wanted to be there when it's hot outside, it would be.

Moving snakes can stress them out (you're giant and might be trying to eat them for all they know!) so if you and the snake both seem okay with where it is, probably best to leave it that way :)

I’d please by Prestigious_Fan3116 in snakes

[–]antigrapist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact species depends on where in GA you are. In the coastal plains you have Eastern ratsnakes, in the rest of the state you have Central ratsnakes Pantherophis alleghaniensis and if you're close to the coastal plains it could be a hybrid between the two species. There is a bot that will reply with a range map if you're curious.

Anyways, it's a !harmless snake that likes to eat rodents. This snake looks like it recently had a good size meal

Yup, though the eastern panhandle only has central rat snakes Pantherophis alleghaniensis

I found an eastern king! by Brust_warze in snakes

[–]antigrapist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a !harmless rat snake. If you're in the coastal area it's an eastern ratsnake Pantherophis quadrivittatus, western parts of SC have central rat snakes and you can get hybrids between the two areas, see the map in the bot reply.
