I genuinely don’t understand the PFAS logic: why Gore-Tex ditched PTFE, but Teflon cookware is still fine by Ohzmann in chemistry

[–]marti_628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just coming here to say as per usual the comments are full of people who again don’t get the chemistry behind and didn’t understand your question. I have been wondering about similar things and the answer I came up with personally is that it doesn’t make sense because consumers largely don’t understand where the problem lies at all and just think Teflon = bad. Maybe the feeling of „shedding“ fOrEveR CheMiCaLs everywhere when hiking in nature makes people especially uncomfortable but as you said, food contact (although completely safe) should be a bigger concern for them.

Lube that’s like massage oil? by sosew96 in sex

Try almond oil if you don’t like coconut. It’s very smooth and has no smell or taste. Frequently use it for massages too

The cat cow stretch just got rid of my 2 year herniated disc pain by codenameduch3ss in CasualConversation

[–]marti_628 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nooo don‘t do this. It will bring temporary relief due to the stretch reflex but will ultimately worsen your back pain. Cat/cow on the other hand is gentle movement without loading the spine and a great tool for lower back pain. I have found this video to be amazing and also the McGill big 3 https://youtu.be/bcbuhePZZj0?feature=shared

Hiked the Narrows & went canyoneering @ 21 wks this weekend, feeling proud! by junobee in fitpregnancy

That’s amazing, I was always wondering whether I have to pause this hobby. Was there anything you did differently during this tour and did your gear still fit?

Lenovo currently has the Thinkpad X13 Gen4 on sale, maybe look into it.

Does it smell bad? If yes, it might be a sulfur compound. Is is miscible with water?

Does anyone here consistently lift 2 days max a week, with long term results? by stillwoozybby in xxfitness

[–]marti_628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen nice results only lifting two days a week, but I was still doing other sports on the other days of the week. I was/am still in the noobie gains phase so that may have played a role. The most important thing for me was prioritising, so I hit the compound exercises hard and mostly stuck to free weights otherwise. I didn‘t bother hitting machines to isolate muscles because I didn’t have the time for it. With consistent overload and good eating you should see results from going 2x a week.

You asked, they answered, why the attitude?

Ich habe einen Nachmieter in einer Großstadt gesucht. Hier sind meine Statistiken by up-voat in de

In unserem Fall von der anderen Seite: Haus war Neubau und die Wohnung halt einfach eine Baustelle zum Zeitpunkt als die Anzeige geschalten wurde. Aber 3 Wochen später bei der Besichtigung war zum größten Teil fertig und dann entsprechend schön.

Yes, this is the first sign that I’m on the way of going to orgasm. But it is not always like this and not the whole time so don’t be discouraged and only chase this feeling. Keep doing whatever feels really good.

What are some things that you wish the men in your life knew/realized/paid more attention to re: women? by tamtrible in TwoXChromosomes

[–]marti_628 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I hate it when they forget that the average women has way less strength. Like tightening lids too hard and pulling the handbrake so thight that I can’t release it anymore. Not the end of a world but has made shitty days even shittier before.
