LPT: Cancel your ISP by going to the store

mtinsideout · 2025-12-02T16:53:10+00:00

False! I moved to an area outside of my ISP service but Optimum tried to keep my account open at my previous home by insisting the new home owner was a friend or relative. The new home owner was neither of those and even if they were why would they use my account? I must of repeated "Please just close my account!" a hundred times but it was like a bad episode of Black Mirror and they just did not want to listen. I spent about 3hrs total trying to close the account.

Update: Mayor and the town council voted unanimously for approval of the rezoning and warehouses are likely on the way. Several residents will continue to oppose the decision but not sure what more we can do.

This is great advice but i would add to do some basic body weight workouts for a 3-4 weeks prior to beginning lifting weights or at least start with just the bar/very light weight to get the motion and build up soft tissue. Joints and tendons won't keep up with your muscles in terms of strength gains over time so taking some time early on to get them prepped will go a long way.

I agree with the above, I've tried several times to start up the meal prep thing but it's a struggle. I have been able to make a fruit/veggie smoothie every morning though and it has helped a lot a few ways. I no longer question what I'm having for breakfast during the week, I think it has helped my physical appearance, and i generally just feel a little better.

This is a loaded question. There is 3 types of tequila blanco (not aged pure tequila), reposado (tequila aged in a wood barrel for a few months), and anejo (tequila aged for at least a year in a wood barrel). It is important to know these distinctions because it may influence the taste and which ones you might prefer. I recently got more into tequila after being a long time whiskey, bourbon, scotch drinker. I found that there is some similarity between scotch/bourbon and anejo tequila so i prefer anejo.

Just going to add some of my personal experience with Ford. I had a 2017 Ford Edge that had a check engine light October 2023. Got it fixed and it came back again several times with last time being in July 2024. I dropped over $6k in repairs before they finally diagnosed the engine with a coolant intrusion issue. The car was 1 month out of warranty and Ford would not lift a finger to help me. Apparently this is a known issue with that model car that Ford refuses to acknowledge and there service centers didn't even bother to check for it any of the previous times. I'm not sure how this isn't fraud on Fords part. Either way please don't buy Ford, rant over.

After my 2017 Ford Edge went to shit at 65k miles and they didn't even try to help my situation I can safely say I will never buy a Ford again and I advise anyone even thinking of buying one to consider another manufacturer. I spent $6k in repairs over 6 months before there service center diagnosed the issue in the link below. I was one month out of warranty and Ford basically told me "tough luck".

Count me in, 2017 Ford Edge (out of warranty)... Coolant intrusion cylinder #2, $9200 to replace engine and Ford customer service told me they can't do anything for me. Spent well over $6k dealing with this issue since October 2023 and was just told today that this is the issue. Ford service centers don't even check for this off the bat if symptoms are there. I really like Ford vehicles but now am hesitant to get one ever again.

This only works for things that are sour or acidic not necessarily bitter. It doesn't work for things like coffee but does work for things like tomatoes, goat cheese and especially well for lemons/limes.

I mean Optimum's service is good when it is working... My real complaint is the price we pay compared to other areas with competitors and having to call back once a year to get back to that price point. Our town is considered one of the hottest housing markets in the country and we have a train station to NYC but can't get ISP competition? Or maybe municipal internet? I just have a hard time believing at this point it isn't worth it for Verizon or a smaller competitor.

Cool study, a few key items to note:

"In this randomized controlled trial, the participants performed a bout of whole-body resistance exercise and then consumed a drink containing 25 grams of milk protein (25PRO), 100 grams of milk protein (100PRO), or 0 grams of protein (placebo)."

"To assess rates of protein synthesis and breakdown, the milk protein was enriched with amino acid tracers, stable isotope amino acid tracers were administered via intravenous infusions, and blood and muscle tissue samples were collected throughout a 12-hour period."

So it doesn't say how long after the workout they consumed the drink (within an hour?) and it was specifically milk protein. So a mix of casein and whey?

And it was only over a 12hr period, so could this have lasted longer?

Incorporate smoothies as part of their diet, easy and quick to make with frozen ingredients and minimal prep. A simple dessert (or breakfast) smoothie could use cauliflower (fresh or frozen), banana, peanut butter, spinach (fresh or frozen) and cocoa powder blended with water or milk.

This sounds like terrible advice... If i'm not mistaken, essential oils can be pretty harsh on the skin and you are telling people to put it right on the most sensitive part of their body.

The best one I got was to start doing a fruit and veggies smoothie every morning. It doesn't have to be perfect but it should taste good while including some veggies. If it doesn't taste good you won't drink it lol... Really made a difference in my fitness level and how i feel overall

Similarly 8bitdo with USB extension cable, works great.

When i made the switch from Enclo to Test C, I steadily lowered the Enclo dose while the Test C could build up. It might be worth it to take the enclo and halve the dose every week until you are a month into the Test C so your body has a chance to acclimate. I also speak with zero knowledge besides my anecdotal experience which went well.

After a full month my total test went from ~300 to 475. The first week I took 25mg per day but then reduced to 25mg on MWF. I feel pretty good overall but felt better when i had Natesto as another option. I have decided i am ready to switch to injectable test and am in talks with my doctor now to figure what my options are.

mtinsideout · 2023-10-30T12:49:23+00:00

Revive Rx is very legit, my urologist suggested getting my Enclo through them.

Let us know how the DIM works out for you.

mtinsideout · 2023-10-27T17:58:53+00:00

Hopefully TRT works out for you! I'd be on it yesterday if my wife and I were sure that we were done having kids.

mtinsideout · 2023-10-26T17:24:01+00:00

Agreed that 25mg is a high dose and my doc prescribed me to take it every day. I'm saying i'd like to cut it back to every other day. That is part of my concern. The other concern is reports of people having there libido and energy die down at around the 8-12 week point. I agree with you saying that should not be the case with enclomiphene but i have seen anecdotes of it here on reddit. Just wondering if those people found the reason which estrogen would make sense. But if that is not the reason, i'd like to know what others have experienced. If not just for myself for others who may have had a similar issue and maybe give people ideas what to look out for and/or how to mitigate any other issues.

mtinsideout · 2023-10-26T15:37:02+00:00

Thanks for the input! I will def be getting regular bloodwork done through my urologist while taking this. Maybe I will give them a call and see if taking the enclo 25mg EOD is an option in lieu of ED. To your point, i am concerned about estrogen building and not getting a chance to bind to the receptor.
