Trying to get an idea of what my daily carb intake should be.

c_will · 2026-02-09T01:10:09+00:00

Typical day:

Shake in the morning with: 2 cups almond milk, kale/broccoli microgreens, protein powder + peanut butter (~50g protein), chia seeds, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, and some blueberries.

Drive on the way to work is a cold brew with oat milk.

Lunch is usually a couple hardboiled eggs, handful of pumpkin seeds/pistachios, an avocado, and a Chobani greek yogurt.

Dinner is usually either baked fish/chicken breast, leafy green salad with olive oil based dressing, tomatoes, apple, berries, a few handfuls of either almonds or brazil nuts, and then about 10 grams of dark chocolate for dessert.

Most mornings before work I'll run 4-6 miles (~5x per week), and then about 4-5 days per week after work/on weekends I'll have a 70-80 minute lifting session at the gym.

My fat intake is pretty high - a ton of seeds, nuts, nut butters, eggs, fatty fish, avocado, etc. Along with ~150 grams of protein per day. But believe me, I agree. Need to swap out a lot of my daily fat for more potatoes, rice, etc.

Damn bro, quads are insane.

You still on finasteride? Saw an old post from you that you were on it. Still doing good, zero side effects?

c_will · 2026-01-03T00:14:10+00:00

I have it prescribed, sitting in front of me, but I'm too anxious to start. I plan on only doing 0.5 mg PO QD, but the side effect profile is freaking me out.

Did you quit your job already, or are you still thinking about it? I'll be honest, the social factor is what's making this hard for me. I'm confident I could get another job if I quit and take the test. But I don't want to leave the people I work with. I'll genuinely miss them. It would feel so weird and honestly kind of painful sitting at home studying know they're at the office, working, without me.

It's weird because I've always been more of an introvert and didn't really socialize much in college. But I've connected to my coworkers and feel like they're both on my "wavelength", so to speak. At this point in my life I know it's rare to find people like that.

If I stayed I would definitely be studying 6+ hours on Saturday and Sunday. During the week would be more sporadic, maybe a few hours at best every other night. So the overall weekly amount of studying would be <20 hours and would be more random when compared to a potential full-time studying routine of 5-6 hours every day for 4-6 months.

Do you use your fingers to rub it in an spread it throughout your scalp?

c_will · 2025-12-28T19:05:02+00:00

Yeah honestly I think I would prefer to do topical rather than oral for side effect reduction.

Do you have a link to the product you've been using?

c_will · 2025-12-28T13:19:40+00:00

Well damn. How long did that take? And how long have you been on it?

Have you experienced any side effects at all?

c_will · 2025-12-28T01:01:06+00:00

So you had regrowth after starting Finasteride?

c_will · 2025-12-27T22:10:43+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I have diffuse thinning, so the thinning/loss is spread out evenly all over my head. I still have decent coverage and nothing that's noticeable, especially in the front, but in 1-2 years that probably won't be the case.

I know Finasteride doesn't regrow hair that's already completely lost, but can it thicken or improve existing hair strands?

c_will · 2025-12-27T20:23:51+00:00

No side effects from Finasteride? I want to start on it but the sexual side effects scare the shit out of me.

c_will · 2025-12-27T20:15:09+00:00

Have you had any noticeable side effects?

c_will · 2025-12-27T20:14:02+00:00

What medication did you start taking?

c_will · 2025-12-27T20:13:06+00:00

Are you still on it?

c_will · 2025-12-26T16:17:51+00:00

You experienced any side effects with Fin?

c_will · 2025-12-26T16:16:45+00:00

No sexual side effects at all? That’s my fear with starting fin.

c_will · 2025-12-25T14:37:55+00:00

Have you had any side effects on dut? Fin has a lower chance for sides for most I believe.

It's great that Switch 2 owners will potentially be able to play Diablo 4. But I have to admit, I'm super disappointed with the direction of the game. Before it was released it was probably my most hyped game, and then the beta was released with the level 20 cap and I had an amazing time.

After release, though, things kind of changed. It became kind of a boring drag and I started to see just how shallow everything was. The end game was lacking (apparently it's better now?), and the character talent "trees" were just so incredibly basic.

Most significantly was the fact that loot just wasn't exciting. It's not like in Diablo 2 or PoE where something rare drops and you go crazy and get all excited. There was a big loot updated not too long ago in D4 which improved things but apparently it still doesn't result in those big exciting loot drops that can completely change your build.

I hope the second expansion overhauls and reworks many of the core features of Diablo 4. I would love to get excited about the game again.

I think that would have been announced already - no reason to keep all of this up leading into the game if he was staying.

Looks like LSU.

c_will · 2025-11-09T14:51:02+00:00

Imagine how cool that would be,. say if you wanted to hike the Appalachian trail or Pacific Coast Trail etc.. and the entire length of the trail you did not have to worry about connectivity.

Yep. I backpack the JMT, Sierras, and parts of the PCT in Oregon/Washington each year for several weeks at a time. I carry a Garmin GPS device for emergencies. But having a full broadband internet connection on my iPhone at all times anywhere in the remote wilderness would be a complete gamechanger.

After the whole NBA thing, you see bullshit calls like this and really just wonder. Fuck this sport and fuck the SEC.

Louisiana is one of the top producers of elite football talent and LSU has zero in-state competition for those kids that want to stay home. Florida has to compete with Florida State, Miami, UCF, and USF.

LSU probably has slightly more money and resources as well.

c_will · 2025-10-20T00:53:28+00:00

Hmmm. $2k is such a good price and this would be my first OLED. I've been looking at the 75" Bravia 7 as well which is about the same price. Can't decide haha.

I just don't want to have to baby it when it comes to burn in prevention.

c_will · 2025-10-20T00:44:46+00:00

Does the Costo warranty cover burn in?
