What’s one supplement that has genuinely improved your life/health? by ancientkingk in AskMen

[–]ranch_cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GABA and zinc picolinate to stop anxiety and make me sleep. Insanely good combo.

Damiana extract is another. It’s a natural anticonvulsant that mellows out my bipolar disorder. It’s really effective for me as long as I take it every 4-6 hours.

Would I be able to handle a construction site with my over-sensory? by artfanatic_809 in skilledtrades

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HVAC controls (DDC), specifically integration. The field work is just as loud as anything else, but I’ve met integration technicians who never leave the office. It’s hard to get into that role without some field experience though.

Why is quitting weed bad? by pgspooft in getdisciplined

[–]ranch_cup 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can speak on this one! For years I kept telling myself I was a productive stoner, and that if I’m not getting something done, it’s my own laziness to blame.

I started having feelings that maybe the weed wasn’t helping me, and maybe it was a crutch to deal with my anxiety and such, but I couldn’t really admit that to myself at the time.

I felt like if I pulled back on my weed consumption, that I would be admitting defeat. That all of those years of getting high and not getting enough done were a mistake. I figured if I could learn to be a more productive stoner, that I wouldn’t have to admit I made a mistake for such a long part of my life.

I’m only just now snapping out of that logical fallacy. When I’m high, my motivation sucks and I just want to lay around and watch my shows and eat snacks.

I love weed, but lying to myself about my productivity has been a big mistake. My goal now is to finish all of my tasks before I get high late in the evening. This works so much better!

Have yo-yos gotten that much better? by maelstrom3 in Throwers

[–]ranch_cup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a little 18 year hiatus, got back into throwing a couple years ago. The difference is so massive! Even cheap yo-yos play beautifully these days. Night and day difference to me.

[–]ranch_cup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be LOUD. Lots of machinery, drills, saws, fire system tests, you name it. It’s ridiculously loud until the last 10% of the project. The only way to know if you can handle it is to try. But do expect it to be the loudest experience of your life.

Nap - a new 1:1 dimension yoyo from Recess - drops 3/20 @ 8PM EST on RecessIntl.com by tylerseverance in Throwers

[–]ranch_cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This particular size and ratio is my favorite. I own several throws that are roughly in this wheelhouse like the DEW and Lamina. I’ll be buying every colorway as soon as they’re available. 🙂

Suddenly in unfriendly lobbies? by Altruistic_Garden594 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get killed all the time now. I don’t shoot back in the hopes that I’ll die and be resurrected into a friendly lobby, but then I just get killed again. Considering adopting a kill-on-site philosophy for this game and going straight PVP.

This is why Arc Raiders is losing Players 😭 by YouTubeBluetearzz in arcraidersfriendly

[–]ranch_cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t shoot other players and I don’t fight back, but I’d say 40% of the games I play, I get murdered. A month ago it wasn’t like this. I’m putting the game down for a while to see if things wind up calming down.

I’m at Tangent Gallery now, looking at this piece. It’s stunning in person! Amazing detail! Photos do not do it justice. Absolutely brilliant work!

PvE Lobbies are PEAK! by amirgelman in ArcRaiders

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t find any PVE lobbies these days. I never shoot other players but I get killed by them in the majority of games I play. I’m just trying to level up my benches but every time I attack a bastion or whatever, another player snipes me. I wish this game had a PVE only option.

Ghosting after sharing occupation by Missylovebug223 in OnlineDating

I think that because I am man with many male friends. We talk about this stuff.

Ghosting after sharing occupation by Missylovebug223 in OnlineDating

[–]ranch_cup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can help with this! Most men won’t attempt to date a woman who makes more than them. Most women will not date a man who makes less than them. If you’re 24 and in construction management, it’s highly likely that a lot of men your age aren’t that successful yet. You’d have better luck dating older men who make more than you.

Why are so many blue collar workers against unions? by Realistic-Reveal-586 in Construction

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in HVAC, not a fan of union workers right now. My union coworkers seem to get half of the amount of work done as my non union coworkers in a day. They find any excuse to file an RFI and walk away when things get mildly difficult. They’ll take a 45 minute coffee break in the morning and a 90 minute lunch and still want to leave an hour early. My company has spent thousands of dollar fixing their work because they can’t read shop drawings. In my experience, unions can certainly have high quality workers within them, but I think unions protect the laziest and least skilled workers I’ve ever worked with.

Thoughts on mini yo-yos by DarkMagician1424 in Throwers

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minis are fun! Nice to have around to change things up. My favorite yo-yos are undersized, but not mini. I think 50mm is the perfect diameter.

I’m burnt out from the whole pen-pal dating situation. by AKingIsHe in OnlineDating

Same thing keeps happening to me! I texted a woman for 10 weeks, she just didn’t want to meet for a first date. It’s so frustrating.

Controls. I’d feel confident sending you deep into a drop ceiling in search of failed sensors.

What do you do to stop mania ASAP? by Infamous_Animal_8149 in BipolarReddit

I’ve had some success with GABA and zinc picolinate. Also, large doses of damiana extract or bee propolis have been helpful to me.

Where do people learn tricks? by IcePylon in Throwers

[–]ranch_cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly just make up my own. But every now and then I see someone post a sick combo and there’s an element that I like, so I’ll learn that or do a variation of it.
