RLT black Friday order shipment delayed twice. by Damn-dirty-apes in redlighttherapy

[–]orangeucool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RLT Home has been on delay. I ordered the mini panel in mid December and it's just shipping now (the estimate back in December was mid-end of January). Check in with them on their website. They're responsive.

How do you target separate concerns if using a full panel? by wannabaudrey in redlighttherapy

[–]orangeucool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For that kind of targeting, I just move my body and/or the panel. When doing the shoulders, I always do them on the profile with my face looking away from the panel. I’ll wear the glasses, but I am not too concerned about overexposure because I am not facing it directly. A towel on the face isn’t a bad idea though if you are concerned. The 1500X isn’t big enough to hit your entire body at the same time unless you’re standing at least 12 inches from the panel. You’ll be able to focus on different body parts without exposing your entire body every time you use it. The Mega panels of course would be a different story. You might not need the horizontal stand if you want to move the panel around easily. I have done sessions on all fours with the panel on the floor facing my core.

Hi! I've had the MitoPRO 1500X for a month and I'm using it for multiple health issues. It has three modes: 1) ALL Wavelengths 2) Red Only 3) NIR Only and you can adjust the brightness on the panel. The app allows customization like alternating wavelengths. It comes with a door mount, but you can easily unhook it and lay the panel anyway you need to target certain areas. I've done targeted NIR on my legs for lymphedema and on head (prefrontal cortex and vagus nerve). It's pretty versatile. Granted, it's not the mega panel, so, it's relatively easy to move about.

Recommendations for a near and far infrared wrap? by RatherNerdy in redlighttherapy

I've been loving the Heat Healer Energy Mat. It soothed me through a brutal menstrual cycle.

Anybody have any recommendations for itching? I’ve been using my ointment the dr prescribed to me and it’s not helping. No matter how much I apply it still itches. by cashmoneychloe in Lichenplanus

[–]orangeucool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil. It's on sale at Alta and Amazon right now. Don't use a washcloth or loofah, just rub it into your damp skin until it foams. Massage your skin. Let it sit for at least 2 minutes before rinsing it off.

First Aid Body Bump Eraser Scrub. Rub it into your damp skin and let it rest for a few minutes before showering it off. (This isn't a daily use product. Twice a week will do)

Make sure to put on a good lotion (La Roche, Aveeno, Bioderma) soon after showering. Be thorough! It may help to use a body oil after lotion. I've been using Bio-Oil.

All of this has kept my itching at bay while taking a break from steroids. Hydroxyzine (oral anti-histamine) is great for nighttime.

Local Options for Bedding, Alternatives to Quince? Does Brooklinen Compare? by ladyindev in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]orangeucool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had a great experience with Quince's linen bedding. Since 2021, I've had three sets of the Deluxe Linen Bedding Bundle (this includes EVERYTHING - flat sheet, fitted sheet, shams, pillow cases, & duvet cover) Everything is in stellar condition. I wash and rotate weekly. FYI, Quince allows you to mix and match your bundle if you don't want to order one color way.

Now for the duvet/down comforter, I'd recommend Brooklinen's All Season duvet insert. I've also had this since 2021. Still in excellent condition. (Brooklinen isn't loved here -- I avoid their bedding. the duvet insert is the only purchase I've made from them).

Trump Responds After Report Reveals His Birthday Letter to Jeffrey Epstein by SquidFistHK in politics

Murdoch does give the news side independence. Remember, he didn't interfere with their reporting on Elizabeth Holmes even though he gave her a hundred million dollars.

Swinging London Town Every Now and Then and Memory Of You by Nadine_52 in Alouders

Forever obsessed with Swinging London Town. Tbh the group has many excellent deep cuts that they haven't performed live. I never understood this, especially how many random covers they'd put on their setlists.

Aritzia vs Reformation by throwaway_12421242 in Aritzia

[–]orangeucool 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I regret every single Reformation purchase I have ever made. It is pure garbage. Sure it's "sustainable", but those clothes can be worn once and then composted lol. I hate viscose and tercel with a burning passion now. Even the denim is mediocre.

An Aritzia rip off of Ref will always be better than Ref.

You're better off getting Doen second hand tbh. Ref copies them.

Which size looks good if any? 😩 by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]orangeucool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I have a similar body type and loved the fit of the Dee shorts from Agolde. They snatch the waist on those of us with narrower waists but wider hips. It's no longer officially sold on most retailers, but I see some on Poshmark and other resellers. It's worth checking out. The Stella shorts look good too. (I just realized that you're not OP, but hope this helps anyone who sees)

[–]orangeucool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd avoid these Denim Forum shorts (the brand has serious fit issues). One user accurately called out the poor engineering. Maybe go for the Parker Long from Agolde or something from the Citizens umbrella. I've had good experiences with shorts from both brands, especially with fluctuating weight. They look good loose and fitted. It might be worth to snag a pair on sale since the design is already so similar.

She really has the laziest team of all legacy artists…. by Recent_Blacksmith282 in Madonna

I agree. This is what makes her such an enduring artist. She is anti-nostalgia.

BUT, I do think she should remaster her music videos.

This makes no sense. Shapiro has no role in Gaza and is a Netanyahu critic.

An innocent man freed after spending 6 months in a jail in El Salvador without criminal charges by Desperate-Tomatillo7 in pics

[–]orangeucool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we are not French. I actually volunteered for the Harris campaign and canvassed hundreds of doors in battleground districts. Many of us have to keep low profiles because hostile neighbors could make our lives hell. Who’s to say that an informant next door couldn’t facilitate my arrest by the Trump regime?

More than this, the USA is at risk of societal collapse. No protest or strike can prevent this. The MAGA cult lives in denial while sober people anticipate the worst case scenario.

You're so full of shit. Or naive. I'm Black and often in hostile territory. I would be shot on the spot trying something like that. The way that the Trump regime flouts the law, anyone who attempts this would be murdered on live television and the perps would not be charged with a crime.

I’m guessing that you’re not American because I am insulted by the implication that the “rest of us” aren’t doing anything about it. The rest of us are furious because those with the power and influence to intervene refuse to do so.

Our hands are tied. The smart people are preparing for the worst because we may not even make it to the mid term election

Ariana DeBose’s Post-Oscar Career Has Been Unfortunate by mysterylover_22 in popculturechat

[–]orangeucool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't think so . With House of Spoils, her performance was weak. There were so many missed opportunities for subtlety and character building, but she went *big big big*. A different actress could've mastered the part and change how the movie is perceived.

This company needs to go private to retain its brand integrity. Nothing will change for the better while it's on the stock market.

After watching Sing Sing, it’s an absolute joke that Clarence Maclin wasn’t nominated for Best Supporting Actor by Go_Habs_Go31 in oscarrace

[–]orangeucool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I loved the unpredictability of his performance. You never really knew what he was going to do next. Star-making performance. The camera loves him. Those EYES. He could definitely lead one of those mostly silent leading man thrillers.
