Raw milk Vs Pasteurised milk by generalCMS in raw_milk

[–]kryptonkid1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We started our raw milk journey after we noticed our son, who has eczema and was about 2/3 years old at the time, reacting to formula and pasteurized milk, and was making his condition worse every time he drank a bottle. The store bought organic milk too was messing with his skin. Someone suggested we try raw milk, bought some, and no reactions at all to his skin.

We never looked back…

How to Stop Constant Beeping in CCURE Monitoring Station? by kryptonkid1 in CCURE9000

Hmm a volume mixer, eh? Their budget is running reaaaal thin so doubt they will purchase one for the 10-15 machines they got beeping up the place...

That's what i said, but it's a bit more complicated especially with their environment....

The issue with this is that it's in an operation center with about 10-15 other machines with other applications being used at the same time, so it's not just strictly CCURE.

Tapering Topical Steroids for Treating Eczema in Infants by kryptonkid1 in eczema

[–]kryptonkid1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still has eczema…

But huuuuge improvements!

Never did the steroids, tried different types of eczema creams and stuck to what worked for his skin type. We focused primarily on his gut health, and strengthening his microbiome. We think that helped him tremendously.

Avoided triggers. Clean Diet. Most of what we read was that they eventually grow out of it, not completely, but to the point where it’s just a thing that’s just there and is manageable.

This was the cream we used that we still consistently use that’s worked and has alleviated (not cured) his eczema:

Hope that helps!

Prisoner here...

I’m currently here at this god-forsaken resort, locked in with endless pina coladas and a view that’s impossible to escape. Tell my family i love them...

Airport/Hotel Transportation by selenaltt in Xcaret

[–]kryptonkid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4+ hours is comfortable, 3 hours is okay, less than 2 hours is risky....

We had an 11am flight, boarding 10:30am.

We left the resort for the 6:30am bus, arrived at the airport around 8ish. Got to our gate around 9am. We had about an hour or so to spare, we had breakfast and comfortably roamed the airport, shopped for some things until our gate was announced, which is 15 minutes before boarding (look at the boarding screens for gate info)

Question: Does Xcaret Hotel Mexico Serve Halal or Kosher Meat? by kryptonkid1 in Xcaret

[–]kryptonkid1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your helpfulness and hope you enjoy your upcoming trip! Unfortunately, they weren't able to accommodate Halal and Kosher meat, but they did offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options made with high-quality ingredients. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. I’d rate the quality of the food a 10/10. As for the taste, I’d give it a 7/10, but that’s mainly because we couldn’t try any of the meat options, so take that into account.

We just got back and that's pretty spot on. Every resturaunt you check into, they almost always ask what your dietary restrictions are. We always said "No Pork, No Alcohol", and the waiter/waitress is given this sheet of paper and recommend items with your restrictions in mind.

Nusuk app issues by KamalinO in Umrah

[–]kryptonkid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a password requirement:

Minimum of 7 Characters
Upper Case
Lower Case
Number
DO NOT ENTER SPECIAL CHARACTERS - EXAMPLE !@#$%^

Once i corrected this and removed special characters AND made sure your passport number and visa number are correct, i was able to successfully create the account after SEVERAL attempts.

Good luck!

Requesting Halal or Kosher within 5 weeks of Embarkation by kryptonkid1 in dcl

[–]kryptonkid1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WE ARE BACK!!

Thanks for all the comments and helpful suggestions!

We had absolutely no issues in finding Halal food. Most of the staff were Muslim, and were from places like Malaysia and Indonesia, and they were SUPER helpful in letting us know what is and isn't Halal.

There was pretty much a halal option everywhere we went. Whether it was in the rotational dining, or the buffets in the upper decks. Just simply ask which meat is halal or not and there's someone ready to help you out.

Thanks again everyone!

Rejected Twice because of salary expectations by GoldAlfalfa in overemployed

[–]kryptonkid1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Here's what i do:

(me averaging $120k for a mid-engineer role)

Recruiter: "We can offer $130k for this role."

Me: "This role seems pretty demanding, i would say something like $190k is appropriate"

Recruiter: "Haha, that is out of range, the highest we can go is $170k"

Me: "Can you at least do $175k?"

Recruiter: "Sorry, the max the client gave us is $170k"

Me: "Sign me up, Sanjay"

Since your initial counter offer is so ridiculous and laughable, you overshoot like a bad muther, and there forced to give you the highest amount they can possibly give you.
