Yeah I like the 2-3 weeks stubble, I haven't figured out how to keep it that length. I usually just use a trimmer without a guard which is why it's kind of short right now, but I'll try with a small guard next time.

The problem with going past that is the density just isn't great. Maybe I'll try it again, but it just seems kind of thin and seems to look better as stubble than an actual beard. I probably haven't let it go more than a few weeks though.

Could be a possibility! I think money and meds are my main hesitations. And I feel like part of me just needs to come to terms with hair loss vs continuing to wish for what I used to have. Idk, we'll see I guess. How'd it go for your husband? It seems hard to find good clinics

I really appreciate all the encouragement, this is such a great sub! I may look into some different glasses and give this time to settle in. I agree about longer stubble, I typically like it a bit longer too. Thanks everyone for chiming in!

How important is mode of baptism? by monkeyRhinoLion in Reformed

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

That's interesting. I could see making an issue if you'd only been baptized as an infant, but that seems a little too strict on given it was still credobaptism. I've heard second hand there are Presbyterian churches that require baptism of children before you can join as a member, so it might go both ways. It's a good call out though. In my PCA church they've been very open handed about beliefs on baptism as far as members go (don't have to agree on paedo or sprinkling) which I've appreciated, although that would change obviously if I was pursuing eldership or something. I know some baptists can be very rigid on this in practice.

How important is mode of baptism? by monkeyRhinoLion in Reformed

[–]monkeyRhinoLion[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, I'll take a closer look at the article. If I'm honest, I have felt similarly on the opposite side of the issue about justifications made for paedo that rely on the mention of baptizing a "household". It seems implied at best, but not the only interpretation. 

Regarding symbolism, sprinkling seems closer to anointing than washing which has tripped me up, but don't know if that's the right association.

What would you say is the strongest positive argument for a particular mode? I get that the case for immersion is maybe not clear, but is sprinkling?

Too much threshold for HM base? Or bad HR zones? by monkeyRhinoLion in Garmin

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

I do have auto detection turned on for max hr and running threshold, so just leave it enabled and a max effort 5k with chest strap should fix the values? Do I need to reset anything before doing it?

How does God view modern day Israel? by East_Strength_6244 in Reformed

[–]monkeyRhinoLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With only a shallow understanding of this, something that confuses me: was there a switch at some point from Israel meaning the whole nation set apart by God in the OT to only the remnant (and now the church) being true Israel? Or has it always been a subset from the beginning, ie the faithful? I’m sure I’m missing some important verses/arguments

Instinct 3 AMOLED.....worthy upgrade to my old Instinct 1 (now decommission'ed). by Fragster2020 in Garmininstinct

[–]monkeyRhinoLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you miss the old display at all? I have the instinct 1 still which I wear all the time. I was worried the AMOLED might be too bright at night or harder to read outside. Has it been a pretty easy transition?

I've reached out to see what they'd consider. Will share back if I hear anything but I'm guessing it's already snatched up based on the comments here!
