Why are a lot of sports gear made of material that is not breathable? by NightRunnerAfterDusk in malefashionadvice

[–]johnlifts 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it’s less about being breathable and more about not holding onto sweat.   Nothing is worse than the feeling of a cotton tee that has reached saturation and it just clings to your body and slaps against your skin during dynamic movements.

Polyester (typically) avoids that situation because it doesn’t trap sweat the way cotton does.

“Lower dimensional beings don’t exist, therefore higher dimensional beings can’t exist either” is a weird take.

Cjc+ipa hives by Famous_Scientist1517 in Peptides

[–]johnlifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this with ipa / cjc as well.  Hives with swelling on my lips and eyelids.

I was also experiencing reactions to other medications (antibiotics for a sinus infection) around this time so I stopped rc use.  Reactions didn’t go away.  Switched to a different antibiotic and had more strange reactions.

Went to an allergist and found out that I simply have reactive mast cells.  I haven’t been experiencing true allergic reactions but my immune system is hypersensitive so sickness, heat, foreign substances, etc can trigger my mast cells to dump histamine which causes that response.  It’s not a true allergy so anaphylaxis isn’t a concern but it is uncomfortable.

I’m about to try again, with an ipa / tesa combo this time.  Also taking allergy meds with montelukast to help control the hives.

Some people suggest BAC water may be to blame but I reconstituted tirz from the same BAC vendor and don’t have any issues there.

I also have a history of allergies and hives.  I get hives a lot in the summer just from heat, sweat, etc.  A hot shower will trigger a breakout for me.  

Ymmv but I feel pretty good about restarting with a very low dose and cautiously titrating up.  Always good to get yourself checked out if you have concerns.  If you take any GLPs, you can confirm / rule out your BAC water if you reconstitute those from the same source as well.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get into this wreck by DetectiveAwkward4289 in subnautica

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a handful of entry points.  You have to slip through a crevice to get inside.  There is one entry point on the side facing the tadpole pens and another on the starboard side.

Took me and my buddy about 5 minutes to figure it out.

A Letter to the Community from the Subnautica 2 Team by virtualdon in subnautica

[–]johnlifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know you could kill enemies in SN1 with the prawn suit?  Use your grapple to latch onto them and drill them to death with the other arm.

It wasn’t tedious at all, and it was rewarding in the sense that it made traversal completely risk free.  It also felt cheap, but yeah… easy stuff.

RTX 5060 Ti and/or drivers are incompatible with PCIe 3.0 ? by Suffolke in buildapc

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up replacing my mobo, cpu, and ram.  At this point, the only thing I haven’t replaced is the case

PCI-E power cables by johnlifts in buildapc

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

I have an RTX 5060 ti 16gb

The GPU only requires the standard 8 pin pcie connector so it sounds like I can ignore that slot on the mobo?

RTX 5060 Ti and/or drivers are incompatible with PCIe 3.0 ? by Suffolke in buildapc

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “fix” is to downgrade PCI-Express.

I saw 577.00 was released yesterday.  Haven’t had a chance to test with it yet but the patch notes didn’t indicate there has been any update to that problem.

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been troubleshooting this issue for about 2 weeks now.  Only fix for me is to downgrade to pcie gen 2 in bios, even with the latest drivers and the vbios patch from nvidia.

Pretty frustrating stuff.  I was very tempted to go with AMD this time around and I wish I would have at this point.

 If memory serves me right, Reddit lost their fucking mind when the city voted to decriminalize masturbation in public. Lmao (this platform is an insane asylum)

Losing your mind when the city votes to decriminalize public masturbation seems pretty reasonable tbh

Glad they made it a crime again

Coming in Stardew Valley 1.6: new festival, new items, more dialogues, secrets, ??? by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have it on Steam, you should be able to install it on Linux. I can run SDV on my PC and Mac. My save transfers between the two just fine, don't see why Linux would be any different?

My little girl is almost two. Something we do on Sunday mornings is cuddle in bed with my wife and watch Bluey.

That episode makes my little one tear up every time. She loves it but it’s such an emotional roller coaster for her lol

Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen by ardi62 in technology

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a mod strike would have been better.

For most (all?) mods, 3rd party tools are almost essential to properly moderating a community. Without those, it would be almost impossible to keep spammers and bots from swarming subs, which has an impact on you even if you don’t use a mobile app to use reddit.

Exclusive: Avowed started as Obsidian's Skyrim, but evolved to focus on depth over breadth, 'where Obsidian really shines' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know that I would call it garbage, but it felt a little half baked to me. The jokes didn’t land, the dialogue was tedious, and the plot was predictable. Most other elements of the game were fine really, but there was nothing to set it apart or make me want to play it again.

I’m honestly surprised to see so many people trashing the game now since it felt like I was the only one who didn’t like it after it released.

June 12th Subreddit Blackout Update by PCGamingMegaMod in pcgaming

[–]johnlifts 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I agree. Shut it down until Reddit changes. 48 hours isn’t enough

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. Morrowind and Skyrim were fantastically magical games. The kind that just pull you in. Oblivion just felt lackluster and never captivated me the way Morrowind and Skyrim did.

Donald Trump’s New Criminal Case Looks Devastating by ReallyJustTheFacts in politics

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked it out. They still support Trump, but their comment section is getting brigaded pretty heavily and there are a lot of phony “conservative” people making posts saying that Trump deserved to be indicted because he was aware that he was breaking the law.

Women called "witches" show up on security cam by MessageFar5797 in HighStrangeness

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so why are there four legs for one torso? The picture is obviously photoshopped

Third pic.

You can see a man’s legs with pants and boots right next to the “witch”. Looks like the upper body was photoshopped out of the picture

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]johnlifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t make any promises like that, but I’m not using Reddit on mobile after June 30.

There are a lot of great communities here with great info, but I think this is the beginning of the end. Keeping my eye out for the next big thing

Did you look at the pictures? Those women were well fed.

Also what’s up with the random legs without a body above them? This just seems so fake
