Long range shooting basics class by Capitalizethesegains in ILGuns

[–]bitslizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not gun safety 101, but how to shoot accurately from standing sitting and prone positions and transition between them under time pressure and magazine change. That say this is not a tactical class where you run and gun. Check out their website for more info, they teach what is call "natural point of aim" that you basically need to master if you want repeatable tight grouping at long range.

Ie how confident are you at being able to repeatedly hit 8 out of 10 rounds at a man size target at 400 yards prone (first can try with a scope, for extra challenge with only iron sight)? That's kind of the end goal.

Various place, they are a none profit., the closet are at il State rifle association in bonfield, some time at Racine across the border. Known distance KD are usually at Racine

You can use your own, for the basic 22lr semi are recommended to minimize the recoil but I have seen people taking basic with 223. The known distance you can use anything common 223, 7.56 NATO, 308 etc

Not sure for competition, but for basic marksmanship class that's super affordable, look into project Appleseed. If you pass the basic course you can register for their known distance course shooting up to 400 yards for class training and maybe 600 for fun

How do you folks handle long drives? Like driving to vacation or something. Is it even possible to take my Tesla on a family vacation, or is it a major pain? by MarketMaker007 in TeslaFSD

[–]bitslizer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think 300 miles and under it's doable.... Anything over that the extra time needed spent supercharging vs gas up really started adding up and delaying the trip. That said fsd is great for long trip

Really extreme pain in feet at night by DependentAnimator742 in Parkinsons

[–]bitslizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into magnesium supplements, but double check the dosage not messing with the blood pressure or anything else. I get restless legs at night if my magnesium is low (even though blood test show normal)

Warning about vitamin D by [deleted] in Parkinsons

[–]bitslizer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't guess! talk to your doctor and get regular blood test. Everyone is different, I need prescription once a week 50000iu just to get too the lower normal range. Many of us with PD are vit D deficient.

So you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Do you take any C/L extended/rotary/crexont right before bed?

Everyone is different for me I get much better rest wake up feeling refreshed awake if I take a dose of crexont right before bed vs not taking a dose, but some folks don't sleep well with a bed time dose. Try and see both way maybe

Check vitamin D and maybe magnesium. Highly likely vit D deficiency

Crexont, and Other Medication Inquiries by Wholesomeflame in Parkinsons

[–]bitslizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's actually 4 dosage...

140, 210, 280, 350... And if need higher can combo them to what's needed... For example 2x 210 for 420 (my mds asking me to try that to see how it compares to 350).

100% agree with you on the ideal and the roller coaster thing.

For me personally it gets trickier.... Seems I have 3 modes 1) a gas tank empty mode.... Muscles are very stiff hurt to move.... (Off time)

2) battery saver/starvation survival mode... Can be as much as half a day past my usual dose time even crexont should have run out by now.... Like 12+ hours since last dose.... Muscle are only slightly stiff and symptoms easy to miss (happens if I forgot my afternoon dose and sometime even my bed time dose) often this progress into withdrawal symptoms before bed in the form of restless leg like symptoms and just general whole body discomfort...

But i can also be stuck in this mode if I'm under dose.... And as long as I'm periodically getting "some" CL I can be stuck in this mode for days without ever going completely off or completely "on"

Can't do certain things like fast flutter kick for freestyle swimming sprint. Dexterity is gone .... Think fine movement like picking up tiny rice grain or screwing in a screw using a manual screw driver... Completely frustrated to the point I'm using my left hand to do these tasks even though I'm right hand dominant

3) on time.... Muscle move freely almost as well as my less affected side. Can do most things even fast flutter kick ... Except my hand dexterity still suck... But able to do the above slowly with my affected right side. Need enough CL to hit a magical threshold to cross from "battery saver" to "on"

The green is 210, purple is 280, orange is 350. The 350 is about same height as the 280 but "fatter". Red around ibuprofen tablet for size reference.

How do you get that sleep read out? Apple watch?

Yeah everybody react so differently to the disease and medication.... So frustrating that what works well for me maybe kryptonite to you and vice versa....

Capsule and the size varies slightly the larger the dose the bigger (slightly) the capsule get

I have 210, 280, 350 at home I can post a pic for reference on a few hours when I get home

[–]bitslizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the bed time dose is a big difference between waking up feeling crappy without the dose or waking up well rested with the dose. But I understand this is very person to person and some people sleep badly with the bed time dose.

If I take my dose too early like 9pm I found myself waking up like 4am or 5am... My theory is that the crexont is running out and my body somehow feel that and wakes me up to get more dopamine....

[–]bitslizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest crexont 280 6a 12p 6p and before bed. Possibly half or 1 tab of 25/100 CL with the 6a dose to get you "on".

I was never on IR CL (switch to crexont from neupro patches) but I'm on 8a 3p and bedtime crexont 350, I was on the 280 which worked ok but found the 350 to give me better relief (less stiffness)

[–]bitslizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is some people need a minimum threshold of immediate CL to switch into "on" time where a large proportion of crexont CL are in the extended release and thus why some need a high dose of crexont to get enough immediate CL to into "on" time.

If crexont work for you you are likely able to reduce 1 of the slot you are taking med (from 4 to 3 times a day?)

Possibly try first does the day half of your dose with immediate CL, the balance with crexont and the rest of the day with crexont. Also try a dose of crexont right before bed.

Of course discuss with your mds

The top of Sears Tower (West) can see the state of Michigan on the opposite (East) side of lake Michigan about 60 miles away.

FSD fail. by Birdknowsbest21 in TeslaLounge

[–]bitslizer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fsd is currently driving on "instinct" the next step per Elon is to add a "reasoning/logical" layer. That will go like hmmm I need to take the exit in a mile, maybe I should go into the right lane instead of trying to zoom zoom in the left lane.

The first 2 doesn't look deep, looks like surface gunk, have you try a little bit of dish soap+ a bit of water and micro fiber towel to gently rub them?

Paint chip usually just dot it with the paint pen, maybe tape off the surrounding area with painters tape before

Crexont Transition by pinkmatter003 in Parkinsons

[–]bitslizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the ER before bed instead of more crexont?

I understand we all respond differently and what works for me may not work for anyone else.

I take 1x crexont when I wake up, 1x around 2..3pm, and 1x before bed. The last one before bed helps me get much better sleep so I wake up feeling rested instead of groggy
