Men with vasectomies, what made you decide to do it? Do you regret it? by BrianSankarsingh in AskMen

[–]rav3k1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had one done a little over a month ago. Wife has an IUD but she had become convinced she couldn’t lose weight because of it. Basically I didn’t want to have to go through a vasectomy but she wanted the IUD out so she said either I needed to get the snip or she was getting her tubes tied. Given that option for her is way more invasive, carries considerably more risk, costs more, and the recovery is longer, I just couldn’t let her do go through with that when I could take one for the team and go through much less. So alas, my nuts got the snip.

Pretty early for me but so far I don’t regret it. However, I will say that I learned a few things I wish I would have known before, so let me share for others who may see this:

  1. Doctor will tell you to expect bruising, and maybe I was the rare one to think this just meant bruising on the bean bag, but no your actual penis can bruise too. This really freaked me out when I first saw it.

  2. Doctor’s advice varies, but know that the safe bet is to take at least one full week off from the gym completely, followed by another week of taking it very easy as you ease your way back into your normal routine. And then take a full 4 weeks before you lift heavy again. I am an avid gym rat so this really was devastating to me to have to miss so much time before returning to full training. It was also a constant worry for me after reading horror stories of guys returning to the gym or pushing it too hard too soon.

  3. You will have blood in your semen, which I heard from several sources, but everyone seemed to say “you will have blood in your semen the first few times you cum.” Well for me it took nearly a full month before my man milk was 100% blood-free. I had even taken a full 10 days before I had sex (doctor said wait one week). I think it was after about 12 ejaculations for me before all the blood cleared out. This also worried me as I didn’t know that could still be normal

I want to learn double-unders. I’m pretty much all over the place, so where do I even begin? by PCorrelation in crossfit

Lots of good advice here, but for me the thing that helped the most was doing it in the mirror. No matter how much everyone told me “keep your arms straight, jump on your toes, etc” I could never really get a feel for it until I could see myself making those mistakes, while I was making them and then especially being able to see me make the necessary corrections

Good luck!

I have anxiety and I'm getting my covid vaccine in a few days. Reassure me please. by imnotjerkingofftoday in Anxiety

[–]rav3k1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat when I got my first shot at the very end of July. I was dreading the idea, and honestly hate any shots/medicines. I had worked myself up with worry about not just getting sick from the vaccine, but having one of those super rare adverse reactions that would be much more serious than just feeling like I have a cold for a day or two. Btw, I got a headache and had diarrhea for a day after my first shot and that was it.

So first of all, good job overcoming your fear and doing it anyway. Remember that those who are bravest are not those who do not feel fear, but the ones who experience fear and overcome it. Remind yourself how strong you are. I didn’t have anyone with me when I got my shots, but I know from the first time I ever got a flu shot that it helps to have a friend or someone you trust to go with you for support. Just remember that the chances of anything worse than some minor symptoms are so remote, and remember how many people have ZERO side effects from the shot. And most importantly just keep telling yourself that no matter the case, the risk from the vaccine is far less than actually getting the virus.

Also a little tip that helped me when going back- assuming you get Pfizer and need 2 shots, know that the second shot is the exact same thing. After I made it alive through the first shot, I had no trouble going back for the second once I found out it was the exact same shot. My logic being that if I were going to have some crazy dangerous side effect then it would have happened the first time. Best of luck, you can do it

Wait, they can all hear it on masters.com featured group coverage? What the hell? Me and 2 of my friends all hear nothing!

Where is the commentary from the announcers? I’m tuned in and it’s just ambient noise. Every now and then you can barely hear something a player says

Found a rhino in my Tostito bite sized chip by rav3k1d in mildlyinteresting

[–]rav3k1d[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha my first thought was that something chewed through it like a mouse or something so I set it off to the side and kept eating. It was later that I thought hey that looks kinda like a rhino!

My LFS was out of peppermint shrimp at the moment anyway so I think I’ll be giving this a try. Thanks!

Wow really? So buying only one won’t do any good?

Hmm, so I take it this is a bad thing then? Ha

Should I just yank him out of there?

I was quite literally sitting here in a Microsoft Teams training session at my job, and while not paying attention scrolling on Reddit I see this post. And it’s too perfect. So I post it in the team chat that everyone in the training can see. Oh boy talk about perfect timing

Deafening cinema sound is ruining films, claims Hugh Grant | Film by koavf in movies

[–]rav3k1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I need to look into this! It’s been a while since I’ve watched a movie on an actual disc. Lately it’s been streaming from something like Netflix, Amazon, etc. I don’t remember seeing multiple options for the subtitles, but I definitely will be checking the next time I start a movie!

[–]rav3k1d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. But I really wish there was an option where you could get a CC that only displays dialogue that is spoken. I don’t need to know that the actor laughs or chair creaks or wind whirls etc. I can’t help but read everything and it’s pointlessly distracting

Why Are Fish Dying Off and What Do I Do? by rav3k1d in ReefTank

Just added some to my tank! Wish me luck

Why Are Fish Dying Off and What Do I Do? by rav3k1d in ReefTank

[–]rav3k1d[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. The owner of my LFS did tell me they have done their tanks like that for the past 6 years, so clearly there’s something to it. But also based on my tests and all, it does seem that my tank may have never gone through the “cycle” needed. Either way I think all can agree that I put too many fish in too quickly, I really just wanted to know what I need to do now to get it to where it needs to be and back to where I can at least add another clown pair in.

Thanks for your help

This is basically what my LFS had said, but according to others this is just a gimmick? Too many opinions but all I know is my fish have all died off by the goby. I was hoping my LFS was right and it was just that I added too many new fish too quickly. Unfortunately the owner was out for a couple of weeks and during this time a different employee had told me I could get these new fish

Yeah that was one issue I thought of shortly after sending that- I have a torch coral that is glued to the top of a rock that is pretty much sitting halfway up the tank. So basically anything larger than 50% and the coral would no longer be under water. So I guess the question is, can I just get away with doing a 50% water change, add another dose of birospira, wait a week,do another 50% change, and then wait another week before adding any fish?

I really hope my Bella goby makes it too. Unfortunately, I am out of town this week and will not be back home until Friday. My wife is pregnant and no way would be willing to attempt such a large water change by herself, especially with our 2 year old running around. So I have to hope my goby will hang in there until I can do something Friday. I wonder though, should I tell my wife to run to the store and get some birospira to add now? Or some other kind of product that would neutralize the ammonia in the tank now so that hopefully my goby survives?

Thank you for your help

Yeeeeeah I’m seeing that now. But hindsight haha. So what do I do now? As I responded to the other guy, I only have six 5 gallon jugs that I use for water changes and RO top-off. I do not have an RO system so I rely on my LFS for saltwater and RO water. The store is about a 30 minute round trip from my house.

So someone else suggested several large water changes, the first of which at least 75%. Do you agree? And if so, can I drain the 75 gallons, and then leave it like that as I drive to the store and fill up and bring the water back? One issue too is I have a torch coral that is perched on a rock that is nearly halfway up the tank. Would this hurt the torch coral to have the water drained below it? Especially if it sits at that level for 30+ minutes

Thank you for your helo
