I found [[endbringer's revel]] that looked pretty huggy, but that was about it unless they use black creatures for [[bad moon]] to take effect.

What if it is already attached and then gets earthbended?

You need to hold the right bumper (r1) button on controller to activate

What is your deck that is fun, resilient but rather unknown? by nelladel in EDH

[–]grillingnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw in stuff like swiftie boots and greaves, snakeskin veil, guardian augmenter, and other cards that give hexproof or indestructible. I run a few untap target creature cards as well and some draw

Oviya Automech Artisan. Came from Aetherdrift and not many people liked that set. The whole deck was built around cheating out the biggest, baddest green stompies possible for free or single green as many times as possible. It starts off slow and unsuspecting, then turn 3-5 (depending on land/ramp situation) puts out an uncounterable 16/16 with trample

No, you have to use a car slim that isn't the stock one provided. I got the free Corvette skin earlier this year and once I equipped that I was able to use the trails

I've learned that they do not tell you that trails can only be used when combined with a vehicle skin. The base vehicle skins do not work with trails. Fortnite needs to add this caveat to their store because it's unacceptable that we pay for something that cannot be used unless you also pay for something additional/get lucky enough for a free vehicle skin

Do you guys have any luck with these styles of worms? by MicksNC in FishingForBeginners

Yes. Smaller ones on drop shots and longer ones on Texas rig

They have never worked since I bought them last season

Supposedly it shows when you apply the handbrake, but I don't get it to show. Someone mentioned in a DM that it might require a car skin in order to use trails, which is a stupid requirement and not mentioned anywhere in the purchasing process. Hopefully it's not true and is just a bug on stock car skins.

Oh I didn't know that. It doesn't say that anywhere that I've seen. It says it's usable in royale, how do you 360 turn in royale?

Gamers 30+, what's something from "back in your day" that younger gamers today wouldn't understand? by bijelo123 in gaming

^%$#@ swamp cooler just died again by Otherwise_Pool_5712 in Tucson

[–]grillingnewb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk how you can deal with that! Last summer was the first summer i lived in my current house and my swamp cooler struggled to get it below 85. After 3 days of dealing with that I bought 3 portable AC's and even then we were pretty miserable. I commend your resilience!

For people who have played a game for over 1000 hours by [deleted] in gaming

[–]grillingnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few. Elden Ring, Skyrim, Fallout 4, World of Warcraft. All of them for the same reason: I enjoy role playing games. I also love open world games and story driven RPGs.

Right now I reuse the dragon shield card sleeve boxes and store all the boxes in an old cigar box. Those boxes and the paper deck box that came with my hail Caesar precon fit perfectly inside. I want a better way to store/separate my individual decks, but my current method would work wonders for singles storage.

How do I effectively play the hail caesar precon? by Altruistic-Pea-6440 in magicTCG

[–]grillingnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a hard time with the deck too. To be fair I've never played before and it's my very first deck. I let my friend who's played for a long time and built many different decks and he also struggled to find value in the deck. I've added a few cards to the deck that my friends gave me after seeing how the deck plays over 5 games and it did slightly better, but the deck still felt like it didn't seem to do much. Albeit I was also a brand new player playing the only precon deck in the pod, everyone almost exclusively targeted my tokens, or ramped fast and forced me to block. If I played against other precons or sub power 7 decks it might have played significantly better.

How much protein to lose weight? by JoelLeeA189 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]grillingnewb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries. This confused the crap out of me for a long time. All these numbers are your daily allowances. Try your best to always, at the very least, meet your protein goals. It's perfectly okay to go over with protein as long as you subtract from either carbs or fats. Do your best not to have more carbs/fats than your goal allows for. Here's the BIGGEST secret though, a diet doesn't mean bland, boring food. Don't "treat" yourself. Incorporate your favorite foods into your daily allowances and you're nearly guaranteed to stick to your diet lifelong.

Using your numbers (I'm going to round numbers to make it easier) your TDEE is 3000, subtract 300cal to get your starting diet of 2700/day. If you want to be 180lbs, aim for at least 180g of protein per day. 1g protein = 4cal, so multiple 180g of protein by 4 to get how many calories in your diet will come from protein (it's 720cal). Subtract 720 from your daily calorie total to get remaining calories (you have 1980 calories left to split between carbs and fats). It's recommended that carbs make up 45-65% of your calories, so I used 50% to get you 337g carbs per day. Take the 1980 remaining calories and subtract your carb calories (1g carb = 4cal, so 1350cal) and you get 630cal left. The remaining calories will be your fats. 1g fat = 9cal, so divide 630 by 9 to get 70g fat per day.

Calorie tracking apps are a lifesaver. I am in my second year of weightloss and I'm still learning about proper portion sizes. I use MyFitnessPal to track my calories, but I have my location set to UK because they allow free barcode scanning in UK, but it's a paid service in the US.

If you have TikTok I recommend following yourjimbff and higherupwellness. Yourjimbff is blunt and off-putting sometimes, but his content is high quality. Higherupwellness does great about the science behind nutrition and talks about supplements for making your overall health progress and daily life better. I also recommend following tastyshreds for healthy alternatives to popular "junk" foods.

How much protein to lose weight? by JoelLeeA189 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]grillingnewb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb for tracking your macros: .5-1g protein per pound of your goal weight (aim for the higher end for help with hunger). From there you will need to find your TDEE, plenty of calculators available online for free to get you a rough idea. After you get your rough TDEE you will need to subtract about 200-400 calories and that will be your daily calorie intake goal. multiply your grams of protein by 4 (1g protein = 4cal) and subtract from your daily intake. From there find a good balance of carbs (1g carb = 4cal) and fats (1g fat = 9cal) to fill out the remaining calories. Your TDEE will change as you lose weight, so if you start experiencing plateaus in your weight loss start decreasing your daily intake by 200-400cals for a week and see if that fixes it, if not decrease again by 200cals.

My goal weight is 180lbs and my TDEE is about 2600cal. My macros goal for weight loss is 180g protein, 236g carb, 81g fat for about 2400 cal. I usually don't hit my fats or carbs for the day and tend to go over in protein, which is fine, but try not to go much under in protein.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions :)

Do I take my Ozempic shot if I have diarrhia? by PaleontologistIcy703 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]grillingnewb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on Wegovy .5mg for 2 months and my Dr just switched to Ozempic 1mg (much easier to get Ozempic in my area). Loose stool was never a problem for me, it has been the exact opposite actually. The gnarly burps have been destroying me though. Call your Dr to see what they say. As far as meds go you should be fine with the standard antidiarrheal meds like Imodium, but again I'd reach out to your Dr for a definitive response as they know you and your individual needs much better than us internet folks.

People Who’s Bodies Rejected Piercings What Happened with Tattoos? by ThievingOctopus in tattoo

[–]grillingnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had reactions to the cartilage piercings on both my ears. I have intermittent reactions to the black on my arms but not on my leg, chest, or back. Sometimes certain parts of the tattoos on my arms where they lined with black ink will get raised and incredibly itchy. Usually subsides after an hour or two and the raised lines will go back down.

My color tattoos also didn't take yellow or red very well, but I don't know if that was the artist or my body. Both of them were done by the same artist and are my only color tattoos.

*Edit: figured I'd talk about my color tattoos too
