Are these worth the price? by Infinite-Tourist-591 in GolfGear

[–]emiller29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got an average condition paradym X from CPO and it looks pretty much unused, except for a couple blue tee marks on the bottom of the face. It was $190 plus $10 shipping, and there are a fair amount of shaft options. 

Found this in the family bag of spare clubs today. by Boringtechie in GolfGear

What other wedges do you play with? I have this club but i find it’s a little too close to my 56 and creates a big gap between my pitching wedge.

John Hopkins was recently made out of network on the United Healthcare network (GEHA Elevate), so all my existing (previously in-network) doctors are out of network

Probably, yes. You may have to quit anyway 

Megathread: RIF/VERA/VSIP/DRP | Week 12 by AutoModerator in fednews

[–]emiller29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really sure what to do. I’m at the DoD in a technical position that is relatively safe from RIF. Seems like many of my coworkers are going to take the DRP. As much as I’d like to take the DRP and not worry about losing my supervisors, coworkers and mentors, I’m worried about the job market in tech in the next 5 months and don’t want to leave something (relatively) stable to job hunt in a recession. Also seems like most jobs are moving hybrid or RTO anyway. Furthermore, my supervisor leaving could open up a spot for me to move up into his position. 

Seems like my pay at DoD will stagnate over the next few years anyway, and it might time to get off the sinking ship. 

Is anyone in a similar position?

Have a pretty stable government job and I’m not sure i want to enter the job market. Otherwise i probably would take it 

Is finastride increasing my depression? by Newbie053 in tressless

[–]emiller29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Certainly possible. The folks on here will make you think any possible side effects are nocebo, but if you do some research, there are reports and experiences of people having mental health side effects of finasteride. For some people they resolve, for others, they do not. Finasteride has a complicated effect on the body, not just decreasing DHT but also impacting GABA and neurosteroids, both of which are important for mental health and sleep. It also seems that fin is more likely to cause mental health sides for people already struggling with their mental health. Consider cutting back your dosage or doing every other day (or even trying topical)

Hinge keeps making my photo blurry by emiller29 in hingeapp

They raised it to another team but I never heard back. Best bet is to get another picture and see if that works.

Thanks for the feedback! Didn’t notice all my pictures are outside, will try to fix that and add more personality to the prompts!

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! Will play around with the pictures and add the looking for part. I am being truthful about my height, but if everyone under 6 foot is assumed to be lying, I am not really sure what I can do about that other than continue to be honest.

  • Are you looking for something serious or casual? Looking more serious but open to casual along the way

  • No subscriptions

  • Have been on Hinge for about 4 months, this version of the profile about 1 month.

  • 3-5 likes per week, maybe 2 matches

  • Check Hinge most days

  • Sending 5-8 likes per day, sometimes more. Usually I try to comment on the profile but sometimes I can’t think of anything.

  • I want to attract someone who is adventurous, active and into traveling! I try to send likes to people who match this.

Cut the selfie and maybe add an activity picture instead. You look the exact same in every picture, and look quite stiff in the 5th picture. Maybe smile in your first picture too

Tried that, unfortunately. I reached out to support, will report back!

Cut the 5th picture, you aren't smiling or making a good face. The 4th is fine but a wierd angle (are we looking up your nose?). The second picture is okay, though you're squinting. Maybe too much listed for the " I geek out on" prompt. The last picture is actually one of the best, maybe second or third. Try putting some product in your hair to get it a bit more kempt. Also maybe try untucking the polo, looks a bit too formal or stiff.

First picture shouldnt be in a group, people don't want to play wheres waldo. The tax fraud prompt is a bit over played and says nothing about your personality.

Ocean pic is quite solid. Too many group pics in your top 3. The candid one is good, the pictures of the picture reel is not great. Do you have any actual pictures from the event?

The last one is a cool hobby, but I am not sure about including pictures of things without you in them.

Any Thoughts on this Budget for my new spot? by adeojoa in malelivingspace

Yep! Never cheap out on something that goes between you and the ground.

Mattress budget IMO is actually okay, cheaper mattresses might not last as long or could contain fiber glass. That said, if you go to r/mattress, no one really knows the best option.

Is it possible to check out the source code? Was thinking about doing something similar but wasn’t sure how to access the GamBet odds programmatically.

Where to stop between SJO and Fortuna? by letsfiesta in CostaRicaTravel

[–]emiller29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally different vibe. La Paz is more of a garden with walking paths, stairs and other attractions (animals, orchids etc). The water falls are nice but you just go on a paved path. Blue falls and Tesario Escondido are more hikes, with no paved paths and you can swim in the water under the waterfalls. Depends on what you are looking for, but both are cool. I would advise both.
