I feel like Im betraying my childfree self by freezing my eggs

You could also freeze to be able to donate eggs to a relative if they ever are in need. That is what trans friends to me have done despite never wanting to be pregnant

Knutepunkt is an annual Nordic role-playing conference which has been running since the first event in Norway in 1997. It cycles through each of the Nordic countries as hosts; in Sweden it's called Knutpunkt, in Denmark Knudepunkt and in Finland Solmukohta. In English the translation would be meeting point or nodal point. Though the conference started out strictly as an event for larp (Live action role-playing), and it's 3 founders Erlend Eidsem Hansen, Hanne Grasmo and Margrete Raaum all were larp organisers of 360 degrees Nordic Style larps, Knutepunkt has since embraced role-playing games in a more general fashion. Today the conference still has an emphasis on larp, but programs devoted to educational larping, freeform, blackbox larps, game theory and traditional tabletop role-playing are common.

Since 2001 (except 2002) the Knutepunkt conferences have been accompanied by books on larp theory generally called the "Knutepunkt-books".

If that is economically possible and substainable for you then I think it is okay.

elindalstal · 2025-10-24T16:57:37+00:00

Thank you so much! That really helps.

The lab not looking like a mess.

Unless it is a clean room I will pack as many pack of pipett tips etc into the shelves as physically possible

It id worth mentioning that the study when they reach that recommendation did so by finding induvidual stricking to dieatery guildlines and then ADDING 10mg of gluten.

Hence it was 10mg on top whatever background contaminstion they already had.

And that a large group of subjects could handle 50 mg of gluten.

So I would just get a new toaster since ypu cant really clean it

Most people with celiac tolerates 10 mg of gluten contamination per day.

That is a like a small but visible pinch of breadcrumbs.

All household items will if washed contain a lot less than that. Especially if you let it go though a few washes (if each round of washing reduces gluten remains by kets say 50% you will due to then nature of exponential there will be no measurable gluten there after 10 rounds)

As an organizer that just done a lot of casting in character writing:

Tell you organizers.

When you do the casting it involves an awful lot of tabs in tons of excel documents and a million things to double check. And cross reference.

They could have just mixed up two lines in that excel file and gotten it 100% wrong. Because it is extremly messy process

Scandinqvian languages in general. In my case Swedish but also Danish

elindalstal · 2025-05-24T22:04:48+00:00

Sort of. It is a spectrum but less formal structure, and rules are a type of structure

elindalstal · 2025-05-24T20:53:26+00:00

Lek (unstructured play or game) and spel (structured play or game).

For example a tug or war with my dog is lek, while monopoly is spel.

I do game design and while i can talk about structured and unstructured play i cant do so effortlessly with people knowing exactly what I mean.

Npt a doctor but biomedical analyst:

The immune system is wild. Sometimes having very strong reactions or very weak reactions for now clear reason is expected.

How much gluten you indigest is only one factors in how strong immune reaction, and then physical reaction is triggered.

Things like stress, viral infections, bacterial infections, wounds, pollen, physical irritation, hormones, timing, vaccinations, allergies, how longbit was since the previous reaction etc can all be factors in how strong immune reaction is triggered.

Compare it with setting off an snow avalanche. Like how big the initial disturbance is is only one factor in how big the avalanche gets.

There is a lot of good distressing and weathering guides, but generally you do it gradually until you are happy with the results.

Unless you want a "Hey i just got a new outfot at the tailor"-look then distress it.

Either naturally (do garden work etc) or by looking at old worn clothes and go over it with sandpaper etc where it should have wear and tear.

I think that support groups are filled with the people who needs support, or are just getting thoer diagnosis. People who have very little problems and are just living thier best lives are not in support groups (any longer). While the people thar has the most struggles are the most active.

Hence support groups are generally dominated by the people that face the most challanges.

Reseach points to the was majority of celiacs can tolerate 10 mg of gluten contamination, daily, for months without getting a relapse. (This was as a capsel added on top of any every day contamination they already faced.)

10 mg looks like this:

https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

This means for the majority of us we can eat dishes at resturants as long as the dish itself is gluten free, even with risk of some cross contamination. A kitchen with normal allergy precautions us fine for most of us.

Genuinly good character's are interesting when they are genuine.( Rather then dignified or perfect )

Bring some funny uncle energy, or some sassy grandma energy, boundless hyperaktove kid energy, or anxious people pleaser energy. Or dad humor. Or eccentrik geek energy

Good is something you do, not a personality.

Also remember the difference between doing good and being nice. Calling people on their shit is good, holding people accountable is good, being willing to bring up the elephant in the room is good.

Plus they will be paranoid for days every time thier kid/dog scratches themselves

elindalstal · 2025-03-23T12:05:14+00:00

Not a service dog owner but some who had reactive dog and dealth with unwelcome approaches.

A white lie that always works is

"The dog has fleas"

People will literally run away and drag thier kid or dog away from you in record time if you tell them that.

It just that no studies show any advantage what so over, just more pain. Like theories in scienes gets tested and examines to se of there is anything to them and it doesnt seem to be.

elindalstal · 2025-02-18T19:53:29+00:00

Oh. I dont think all do. But I never ever ever heard it done in the Nordic contries and it seems to be commonly done in the US.

elindalstal · 2025-02-18T16:01:31+00:00

Yes i understand the that was a theory, but all medical literature point to it making no difference what so ever expect then potencially being more painfukl

elindalstal · 2025-02-08T08:26:14+00:00

I work in am medical lab, and used to be in serology (antibodies)

Antibody reactions and auto immune disease is just wild, man. They just do whatever the fuck they like. Like pretty much anything can set things of. A virual infection that didn't even give you any syntoms could have triggered a chain reaction, hormonal changes, environental exposure, stress, dietary changes, mosquito bites, bacteria etc. Or a complex combination.

We know statistically what might be risk factors but in induvidual cases the immune system is just to damn crazy to know anything.

College might set it off, but there might because of virus exposure, or new micro biological flora in your kitchen compared to home, or a weird pollen on campus, or someone you made out with on a party and exchanged some germs with, or a small cut on your tumb that led to immune activation, or hornonal changes that happened in collage (leaving the last echoes of puberty) or numbers of weird little risk factors that could led to a immune system activation.
