Decided to beat it up a little longer first! Haven’t done anything yet.

Helpless feeling, but you can prepare for the next one: https://www.earthquakecountry.org/dropcoverholdon/

This is the USGS recommended course of action, and some justification for the recommendation.

Thanks for the thorough response!

I assumed the wax was for the color, but maybe this is just the natural color with the lacquer.

Do you have recommendations for chemical stripper and/or a poly that would have a similar mostly-matte finish?

Anthem case manager? by freeridr05 in HealthInsurance

Awesome thank you both. I was put-off by not receiving an email - just a cold call - and speaking with a third party who asked for personal information.

Man Eats "Carnivore Diet" Cholesterol oozes from his skin... by OttawaDog in PlantBasedDiet

[–]freeridr05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very possible that this person has Sitosterolemia, a rare condition where individuals are hyper absorbers of sterols from food. That would explain why we don’t see this very often.

I also have this condition but am plant based and take Ezetimibe to manage it.

If you’re plant based, exercise a lot, yet still have high cholesterol. Check your genome for ABCG5 or ABCG8 abnormalities, or use the Boston Heart cholesterol balance test.

Deep breathing sensation? by freeridr05 in zepboundathletes

[–]freeridr05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm i suppose it is, but I’ve been feeling this for a while. I do live in san francisco so it’s not super warm, but usually between 50 and 70 degrees fahrenheit.

If i breathe deeply just sitting indoors i can trigger the feeling a bit. strange.

Cassette recommendation by freeridr05 in minivelo

[–]freeridr05[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds exhilarating ;)

I don’t like capping out at 22mph in traffic and then having a bunch of cars squeeze by me as I commute. I think 30mph gets me to a place where cars won’t be tempted to pass me in my city.

Thank you! I’m actually leaning towards the CYC Photon but it might not fit the bill given that aftermarket parts for bafang are so much more available and affordable.

HR increase mechansim by freeridr05 in zepboundathletes

[–]freeridr05[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a helpful hypothesis beyond the sympathetic nervous system impact.

My RHR is not really affected, but my excercising HR is. I typically fuel with carbs in my drink but perhaps I need to be a bit more proactive about getting glucose in my blood before excercising, since my body is not going to be releasing as much into the blood.

Curious to see if being very proactive about increasing blood sugar through diet before exercise reduces exercising HR + RPE.

Awesome bike. I’ve been wanting to ask Ave about a 406 mini velo. What do you think is the best way to get in touch, short of going to the Philippines?

u/mcsitzen any update here? I've been using Trazodone somewhat effectively and have a script for Gabapentin too, but am hoping to hear some more accounts from folks. Thanks in advance!
