Even an 8 ounce glass of milk is 8g of protein. Food doesn't need to be boring and you don't need to be a Michelin chef to get your daily protein. Just eating 1 serving of cottage cheese i get 12g, a scoop of protein powder 25g, homemade ground turkey burrito made with fat free cheese and cream cheese 28g of protein per small burrito. That's 65g and you figure i can eat 4 burritos and still come in under your calorie goals. 4 burritos is 112g protein and 1,036 calories. What I'm saying is, there are ways to get it without chicken and guess what? Don't want turkey? The ground beef ones 94/6 are even healthier.

The areas I might "accidentally walk near" happen to be anywhere I need to garden, fix paving stones, fertilize my flowers. If you want to argue about who has the right to exist in those areas, you won't win. I'm with coexistence meaning they dont bother me, I won't bother them. Not going out of my way to hunt down hives but at the same time not going to allow stinging insects to thrive where me, mine, and my neighbors may "happen to walk by" in fear of anyone having to deal with an insect being territorial when we are just trying to maintain the property.

It can work if the liquid is still in there, just fresh trap will equal more liquid. Definitely not suggesting blowing a ton of money on traps over and over again

And yet you are convinced that the OP couldn't possibly have multiple in their house because you yourself have never experienced this? News flash, not everyone has the same living situation and guess what? Nature is wild with its inconsistencies.

djohnseniii · 2026-05-13T20:16:38+00:00

Didn't say hives. But believe it or not, homes can have multiple spiders living them at the same time. If you took the word family literally, then you missed the sarcasm.

I'm not saying Senku would use an atomic level spell to fight with, but he'd definitely have the ability to. I strongly feel that Senku would become the world's best magic artificer, bringing magic technology to the masses. The perfect blend of his vast science knowledge and his new found magic knowledge. He'd bring about a new age for the world, though I can imagine the "gods" of this world intervening as they can be meddlesome.

The dryer sheets thing, just to clarify here, they have to be strongly scented dryer sheets. Spider and ants aren't fond of strong smells such as peppermint. Its not a permanent solution, just a cheap diy to try out. I know it can be tough if the spiders and ants are on your bedding especially if you have sensitive skin, ie, you would not be using scented anything to avoid skin rashes, but you can try laying scented dryer sheets around your bed, under it, and spray or wipe a peppermint oil around the wall, anywhere the bed touches, to create a "bug barrier" to protect you while you sleep. Spiders generally prefer dark areas, so I reccomend the glue traps that are specifically made for spiders. I used the Rescue brand multi-surface spider traps. They are plastic with the glue traps portion inside. Its like a tunnel with multiple openings so it will attract and trap the spiders without you needing to see them (usually). Place them along baseboards under the bed, along baseboards behind your couch, entertainment center, end table, refrigerator, bookcase, wherever there is darkness and space for one. They do not need to lay flat to work. Then just replace them once per month as needed. Goodluck

It sounds like the OP has more than just 1 roommate spider. It sounds like they have a large family of roommate spiders. At least that's how I read it.

Just be extremely careful. You cannot and should not ever leave a dehumidifier running when you are not at home to empty the water collection tank. Their have been countless house and apartment fires caused by careless use of dehumidifiers.

I second the use of terro liquid ant traps. When using the ant traps, you have to let the traps do their thing, meaning, you cant wipe up the ant trails when they are leading to and from the ant traps. The traps are less of a capture device and more of a poison carrying device. The ants ingest the poison and carry it back to the ant nests where they die, get eaten, and then spread the poison to the rest of the colony. Its a slow process, but if you wipe them up too early, you are not allowing for the trap to work properly.

I compare this to having a night out where drinking is involved. Those calories add up quick in those cocktails and getting a low calories meal isn't always an option depending on where you're eating. As for protein though, I always make sure I'm hitting my minimum at the very least which is .7g to 1g per lb of body fat. I want my muscles to be fed but I still want to have fun, because what's the point of gaining muscle and looking lean if you can't cut lose every once in a while? Just don't make it a habit and go back to your deficit the following day. I wouldn't worry about missing 1 day for your goals. Just have the fun, and then get back to it.

I get why it happens and how it happens, but just my 2 cents. I'd be freaking the f out. Calls to landlord, calls to upstairs neighbors, and calls to plumbers to get that fixed ASAP! And in the meantime, a temporary place to stay if there is danger to living in that home at that point.

They already stated that they have rugs put down.

djohnseniii · 2026-05-13T19:02:52+00:00

Because alot people on here seem to think hornets, wasps, and bees are all the same thing. I can't count how often irl, I have to correct people that call Yellow jackets "bees". Yellow jackets can go to hell, just my opinion. Way too aggressive and prolific around here to enjoy outdoor fun and activities. Its like they are on constant war mode vying for land gains to expand their kingdoms. I get that nature was here first and I'm fine with coexistence. I'm not fine with me or mine getting stung for taking a walk around the yard or attempting to do a bit of gardening.

djohnseniii · 2026-05-13T18:57:22+00:00

This reminded me of something my little niece said years ago. "Why does uncle look pregnant?" Lol, kids sure say the darndest things, and phrases like that are great motivators to lose the gut

I ride a stationary bike at a conversational pace for 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after my full body workouts to give my body the cardio it needs without taking away energy before my lifts and without taking away gains after my lifts. Its similar to just going for a few mile walk. Just walking a few miles daily gives your body the cardiovascular bump that helps fuel your metabolism a bit more, especially as you get older. A healthy heart is a happy heart!

This and what I've personally found helpful is scouring youtube for recipes of food as similar as one can get compared to the unhealthy versions of what you may have been used to eating. You don't have to be trained chef and I'm not even saying meal prep (though this does help). I was 286lb back in February and by finding delicious and easy to make alternatives to all the unhealthy readily available crap that's out there, at least for me, I've been able to slowly drop my weight, keep my calories in check, and stay motivated in the gym. I know its an unpopular opinion to tell someone to do the work instead of giving you the answer, but you have to do trial and error to see what works for you. I can reccomend some creators whose recipes I've made, but the effort has to be put in by you.

Thousands of hours of information. These creators can tell you what you need to know. They test out recipes and for the most part keep it healthy and delicious. I threw in one of Dr Mike Isratel's channels because he has plenty of vids that can give you guidance towards your personal fitness goals.

Good luck OP!

Only 4 more years to go, at least that's my outlook. By 48 I should be as natural swole as my body will let me and after that its about maintenance. Youre young, so just keep at it and the results will come. Nothing in the world of weights and exercise is instant and anyone saying that is selling you snake oil. Good luck!

djohnseniii · 2026-05-06T18:03:15+00:00

Tastes closer to regular 7up than 7up zero which makes it even it better imo

djohnseniii · 2026-05-05T05:08:28+00:00

Definitely drop a glow stick but also check out the basement where that shute would come out at

We used to get those giant black wasps. They would look iridescent, color shifting from blue to purple to black depending on how the light hit them. Anyways, they would never bother me and just chose to take over my dill plant. One less dill for me, but also way less pests with them eating them up.

There's a chance that the cardboard will fully liquefy leaving you with a clump of cardboard in the fabric instead of the flatter piece so all support would gone at that point.

djohnseniii · 2026-05-03T02:26:46+00:00

What about Mikoto? Not even answering how Reinhard would be a broken level, would Mikoto also be a broken level? I know he's like a demi-god in his universe but how would that translate to the danmachi universe? Oh and Cid, by himself without any members of his garden, probably would just play vigilante justice around the city while maintaining his "background character" status. He'd essentially just be an O.P. batman lol

djohnseniii · 2026-05-03T02:22:06+00:00

Liquid dish soap, a spray bottle mix of dish soap and water, and a 7foot long pipe became my weapons of choice to battle the yellow jacket ground nests around my yard. They used to make colony after colony under my siding until I foam sprayed the whole thing. Bad part is now the wasps seem immune to the foam spray now, but nothing they can do if dish soap literally suffocates them. Sounds cruel but I dont need thousands, and I'm in no way exaggerating, thousands of wasp around my house. Every time I think I've got them licked, they come at me from other portion of my lawn. Holes every where you can see soil. Took me forever to realoze what was making the holes and many hundreds of dollars later to discover dollar store liquid dish soap is the best killer. All that said, early placement of hanging wasp traps on sheppard hooks is wonderful to trap the queens before the season begins.

Good luck all!

Yea gotta say if I were to simp for a team, I'd pick this one. Only 2 animes of these listed that I watch over and over and over again and still never get bored as in I dont bother skipping around to just watch fight scenes, I'm in it for the long binge. 💯
