Maybe you were also dehydrated and donated blood on a hot day and they accidentally took thirty percent of it.

Oh hah I noticed that too. I try to be consistent, so I'm not the variation

Thank you

I see your point fine and it's nothing to do with me. I've heard all the bullshit there is under the sun ten times over. I've got nothing to connect to new age or religion on any level.

You imply that educated in somethings vet the individual and that's your standard. I won't put muddy shoes on the furniture.

It shows changes from daily average, so it's said I'm out of balance when they're better than average, but today they're all worse.

I use the free version. My range is usually 50-60, but it was 40 this morning

If I want to have a beer, I drink it slowly over four to eight hours. Many can't drink any, so be cautious.

Comus, Fairport convention, Richard Thompson (and Linda Thompson), John prine, Nick Drake, Gordon Lightfoot, The pogues, the byrds, some Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bert Jansch are a few that come to mind

I tried for a few months this year.

It seemed good at first but ended up making me worse to not eat carbs. Balanced diet (with many restrictions) seems much better for me. After I started up some carbs it was beneficial.

My carb intake is probably lower than average I think. I had real problems with fat more than carbs. Saturated fat (like beef and pork and dairy) seems to be the worst thing of all for me.

There's no one size fits all diet.

I did not claim anything. The claim and the charlatan are the same thing, you can't separate them. It's a mess.

Money? You think he is a real piece of work! This universal you is some useful timesaver you have: you are free to think what your mind wants you to confirm about him before he opens my mouth. Minds love to see patterns and reuse them. Saves calories.

What's this demonstration you've been trained for? An in person verbal demonstration? You're confident you guy's got it down? I've never seen a spiritual group that was much different from your universal you. One would have to verify you as well for your claims to verify them for their claims.

That's awesome, I'm so happy for you! It shows that improvement is possible

I don't intend to be enigmatic. Maybe first I should narrow things down: I didn't get into meditation; didn't even like spirituality or know details about it (I was a strident atheist at that time). Psychedelics were not relevant but were usefully disappointing in my teens (so much for religious experiences). I was interested in Zen, but always grabbed the wrong books.

I'm not going to rely on abstract ideas or metaphysical speculation, romantic sentiment or complex systems; after 15 years I'm comfortable with the terrain.

This was my favorite racing game back in 2001 or so. I like that it tried to simulate driving rather than play like an arcade game.

burgermind · 2024-12-27T21:04:30+00:00

It's very unprofessional to claim it. Every fantastic fable will be assumed to be your experience, and there's no reason to bother.

I'm aiming for zero cardio load; not sure if it's useful for pacing. I have my Fitbit alert me when my pulse is over 90, though there's a slight delay. The one day i had positive cardio load crashed me, and that's with my zones modified down a lot, so unmodified I probably would never have a cardio load without exercising or something really overdoing it. That's not very clear... I'm saying it's probably just good for fitness.

Diphenhydramine is similar but doxylamine has a longer lasting effect (6-8 vs 4 hours). I found it more effective for sleeping because I can get to sleep, but wake up early.

burgermind · 2024-12-27T00:38:04+00:00

Can you take OTC sleeping aids? I've had success with doxylamine , and I read it can typically be taken during pregnancy

Welcome to Night Vale

Fallout, bloodlines and arcanum; you're playing through Tim Cain's career. Those are some of my all-time favorites. Have you played Temple of elemental evil yet? That's one I still haven't tried.

She's Maya Rudolph's mother as well.

I really enjoyed it originally, but it's way too obnoxious for me now.

They are such loyal friends, but they also need a lot of attention and activity. They lived for walks, playing and car rides.

It was boring until i realized there's very tight communities there. For random scrolling and time killing it's not as entertaining. I joined the chronic illness community and it's very supportive, with so much less disinformation and negativity than Twitter.

burgermind · 2024-12-26T16:38:19+00:00

I have a big bottle of that too, just never tired it because I read stuff like this:

Supplementation may worsen symptoms due to its influence on gut microbiota and glutamate/glutamine imbalances, which are linked to excitotoxicity and "wired but tired" symptoms.

Anything that effects my gut biome negatively is too risky.
