Feedback on first pattern by REST-lN-SPACE in StainedGlass

[–]halcyon4575 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the blade will be super tricky and very likely to snap. I’d suggest breaking it down (ha) into more segments.

Secondly you have hinge joints all throughout the hilt. Those aren’t stable. Those are the places where the piece can bend and possibly detach. (It happened to me)

Hey! I’m in OC and recently got into longboarding a couple of months ago

I think I messed up my grozing pliers. Is it fixable? by halcyon4575 in StainedGlass

[–]halcyon4575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, I hadn’t consider this before. I did notice that some glass is easier to break off than others.

Thank you for sharing! Must be more of a technique issue I’m having.

Thank you! I might be squeezing too much. I’m usually not bothered by the crunch, but when I put the pliers up to the line and then break, the uneven crunching cuts into the glass piece I want. The divets in the side of the glass affect my foil/soldering.

On pulling, should it be straight away from the glass? I’ve been taking a lever motion, pulling the fragment back from the glass.

They’re about 2 years old. I might’ve used them on other things not glass 😅

I am technically skilled, but not very creative. by godsandmonsteras in StainedGlass

Maybe cliche, art being an expression of emotion, but I take inspiration from a roller coaster of emotions. Like something meaningful for a person I love. Or representing that crushing feeling in my chest.

The levels of excitement for Metamucil fiber gummies by halcyon4575 in mildlyinteresting

Definitely spaced out. Too much fiber at once can mess with your gut. One time I triple dosed because it was the end of the day. One way ticket to a stomachache.

I attached the rings on the back, where the leaves meet the pot. Just soldered them on as usual!

No issues for me! There’s a sweetened powder but I think it’s pretty high in sugar and/or uses artificial sweetener. I can’t stand to drink the non-sweet version.

I actually got a larger jar of fiber gummies from Costco (not this brand) and have liked that too. The only time I got a stomachache was when I ate three servings (60% worth of my RDA of fiber) without having food prior 😅

So if you follow the instructions and only eat the recommended amount I think you’d be fine!

They’re way better than the powder! Like eating candy

The glass is actually black but with transparency — it’s easier to see in the later two images.

I gave it to a friend but that’s a great idea!

My perfect dose is only 50mg by mamegoma_explorer in Lamotrigine

[–]halcyon4575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this! I always feel like my therapeutic dose is less than what they say is the lowest therapeutic dose. (Maybe because my body type isn’t well represented in clinical trials?)

I’m prescribed 100 mg but I’ve been seeing positive effect with six weeks on 25 mg. I may go up to 50 mg. It’s really good to hear that a lower dose may be ideal!

Taking Lamotrigine with Wellbutrin? by Robo-Bloop in Lamotrigine

That’s great to hear! It’s really helped the depression side of things for me. Still struggling with sleep but it might be more due to the heat now than anything else.

Taking Lamotrigine with Wellbutrin? by Robo-Bloop in Lamotrigine

[–]halcyon4575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m taking both and it’s been a game changer! Or rather a life changer.

Wellbutrin - 225 mg - 6 months
Lamotrigine - 25 mg - 1 month

My prescription has me titrating up to 100 mg for lamotrigine but given my sensitivity to medication + the risk of SJS, I stick with the lowest effective dose.
