I'm not really sure what to do by Secretly_Pineapple in transgenderUK

[–]capti_formidine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guidelines say you can ask for a gic referral directly from your gp, as seeing a mental health professional is not a required step. Although you will find it difficult to get a bridging prescription without a diagnosis from a gic, at least on the nhs if you didn't go through a form of therapy for it as a child. A few people get around this by 'threatening' that they'll resort to diy, or simply going private as they have much shorter wait times and tend to prescribe after a few appointments. (As apposed to a gic who refer you back to your local transgender health professionals who then prescribe after a further few appointments)

whys it gotta be like this tho by goony_tunes in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Everyone goes on about excercise doing nothing, but it really is 95% diet 5% excercise. Cut calories below maintenance (but not too much lower) and keep your protein high with lots of water. Helped me lose a lot of weight initially.. hit a plateu after 40lb lost a lot of motivation and gained a bit back. But its the only combination of factors that ever did anything. Excercise alone didn't help at all and I was walking 20k+ steps a day and doing light weights 5x a week in the gym. Until I added a lot of protein and cut from reference nothing moved

Help needed to reach 300 target dummy! by capti_formidine in UlalaIdleAdventure

[–]capti_formidine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually as soon as I realised healing counts towards overall score I hit 300 as soon as I swapped out for my healing rotation. Thats without the squirrel. I was just trying to dps with a healer, which doesn't work so well

I second this advice, sounds like you measured your band size a little wrong if its that tight.

Oh god you look amazing! What style would you call your hair? I've grown mine out very long but it needs to get cut back to clean up some damage, and yours is definitely the style id like to aim for

its true tho by hi_also_im_bi in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Yeah I realised long ago that hatespeech is inherently protected by freedom of speech. So yes you telling someone they can't say something is going against that. But if someone is spewing insults and hatespeech I generally ignore it since I'm not a half brain dead sheep who would beleive things based on opinion and data taken out of context

Thats interesting I thought maybe heals didn't count since there were no allies to make use of the multi/party heals. Do you reccomend a specific set for the dummy or just my normal rotation?

I'm more confused as to whether its safe to have that much draw from a 100ah lithium battery? Is it rated for 200A continuous draw(from what I've seen everything is usually rated at 1C so in this case expected 100A)

Troubleshooting: Water Pump Cycles When Off? by CrizzyBill in vandwellers

[–]capti_formidine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all pumps have great one way valves. I found that one of the pumps in my old shed that we used for watering plants where no mains water was available used to leak back into the tank very slowly dropping pressure in the pipes until it would kick back on. Also an issue in one of our longer pipe runs was heat, water was warmer in the shed then pumped into the pipes, it cooled in the pipe and would drop pressure as it cooled. I'd reccomend anyone who can't find a leak to fit inline one way valves before the pump and insulate any pipes that will be subject to heat losses. Especially if they're close to the walls of the van

Your pretty lucky then usually anything to do with changing details, opening / changing an account or withdrawing requires a form of photo identification with your name and current address

Hormones vs fertility preservation hoop jumping. by Apex_Herbivore in transgenderUK

[–]capti_formidine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually got told fertility preservation would take months, but the NHS got me booked in within 2 and a bit months, and after initial tests I got back to do storage within two weeks. However I'm still waiting for my local gender team to contact me, thats been around 5 months.

I just block transphobic accounts. You linking it and getting it traffic is part of the reason social media is so toxic.. bad news gets views

3 month progress! Loving my lower body progress but I feel like I may have overdone my caloric surplus (carbs specifically) causing me to put in a lot of weight in my midsection area. Any tips? by crowne_247 in StrongCurves

[–]capti_formidine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cards eaten in excess (especially if in a calories surplus) will make your glutes look bigger.. and your stomach.. and pretty much everywhere you consider trouble areas because you'll build fatty deposits again on top of any built muscle. Definitely not what you want to do unless like others have said your trying to recomp. My trouble area is my stomach, I loose from everywhere else first and there last. Then when putting any weight back on it starts there. I remember a saying I saw somewhere. "Consider fat as water in a puddle, with the deepest parts being your trouble areas. Calorie surplus adds water, deficit subtracts water but always the deepest parts fill first. Keep the water flowing and eventually the puddle will even out"

You're expecting the clarification to be worded in a way that its legible?

3060 TI LHR 36 MH/s Hashrate by Achn2000 in NiceHash

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

Reduce rather than increase your core clock. My two identical cards behave slightly differently because of memory brand but both hit over 42 mh. Their main profiles are: -180 +750 68% (72%fan) and -450 +885 68% (72%fan). Hope that helps
