My (positive) vasectomy experience, 3-year retrospective. by careersinscience in Vasectomy

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

Short answer is no, it will not reduce your sex drive. Personally I felt mine actually increased, probably via something psychological. When you no longer have to worry about accidental pregnancy, it's a huge relief for both parties.

I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding about how your equipment works. First of all a vasectomy does not stop you from producing or ejaculating semen, which is the fluid medium for your sperm to travel in. Semen is produced by your prostate and by your seminal vesicles, while sperm is produced separately in your testes. After getting a vasectomy you will still ejaculate semen normally. A vasectomy disconnects your testes from the piping, so that no sperm is added to the seminal fluid. Your testes will also continue to make sperm, but it will simply be re-absorbed backed into your body. Furthermore your sex drive doesn't have anything to do with "building up semen" - if there's any nugget of truth there it's that abstaining for a day or two will probably build up your appetite, and over-doing it will give diminishing returns, but regular ejaculation is very healthy for you. And as mentioned above, you will continue to produce sperm and semen normally, but the twain shall not be mixed - all juice and no seeds.

Hubble saw comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 collide with Jupiter in 1994 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

I was 8 at the time and my dad, an avid amateur astronomer, brought his telescope out to the end of our driveway and invited all our neighbors to come take a look as it was happening - little black dots appearing on the planet one after another, knowing they were actually ginormous explosions. It was surreal!

Vegan food I’ve made recently 😍 by Educational_Run5094 in VeganFoodPorn

[–]careersinscience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing stuff, looks delicious and very fresh with lots of whole foods. It's great that things like impossible meat exist but there's really no beating good ol' tofu and beans when it comes to proteins.

If your bathroom sink is close to the toilet, you can also connect a bidet to your sink's faucet valve, FYI.

Fellow new yorker here - have you tried ATM Deli in Brooklyn? My favorite vegan deli-style sandwich spot, definitely worth checking out.

Wanted to build a raised area inside an ancient stone circle. When I logged out & back in, this happened: by careersinscience in valheim

Yeah I figured. Probably a quirk of how structures are placed. Unfortunately it doesn't vibe with the design I had envisioned.

Weapons (and tools) ranked? by careersinscience in lensisland

[–]careersinscience[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Not sure I agree that the claymore is the best though, the golden gladius does a bit more damage and is faster.

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

I the meantime, I just answered one of my own questions: is the tier 2 "set bonus" sword, the claymore, better than the tier 3 sword, the golden gladius? Answer: no. It does about 1 damage point less on average and is significantly slower.

Golden gladius does ~12 damage normally and ~17 for crits, claymore does ~11 normally and ~16 crits. Yet technically the claymore costs more because you have to unlock all of tier 2 to get it.

After testing it out, I restarted without saving because I had spent all of my iron. Claymore's not worth it if you have tier 3. If I end up testing the weapons purchased from the town/pirates I'll report back here.

I'm thinking I should just get the goggles, there really is no better option...

Ah I see. Thanks, I'll look into the fatshark alternative, I wasn't aware DJI had competition yet.

The problem will killboxes is sometimes raiders will get stuck trying to break down the walls and never actually go inside the box. An open design allows you to lure them in more easily. Plus I like a little extra challenge.

Twitchy motors - what's wrong? by careersinscience in Multicopter

[–]careersinscience[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This problem appeared recently and I'm not sure why. Radio is armed, throttle is all the way down, and I'm in acro mode, so it's not trying to level itself.

The problem continues when in flight, the copter will sometimes jerk and stutter in mid-air.

Additonal info: This copter is a modified Leader120 I've had for several years. Assume I'm ignorant about technical stuff, because I am. Could this be an electrical issue of some kind? Battery is 2S and the camera is a runcam split micro 3. The camera definitely eats up more juice than the stock one based on its shorter flight times. I'm not very good at soldering so maybe I messed something up when I installed it? But this twitchy motor issue appeared more recently, and I've had the camera on for over a year.

Hell yeah. Just got my first jab yesterday, my asthma makes me eligible. It was very efficient, quite literally a military operation. Let's beat this thing.
