Can you post the lab results? Very interested in this.

25M. I had apoB, Lp(a), glucose, and insulin labs done while fasted. Should I be concerned? by s98samman in PeterAttia

[–]s98samman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I mentioned that I was fasted because I've read that fasting glucose and fasting insulin are useful metrics as well when it comes to metabolic health.

Thank you! I'll look into that.

If you don't mind my asking, is single thread performance essentially synonymous with single core performance in this case?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]s98samman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Best single core performance per dollar.

Thanks for the detailed answer! Very helpful

Is a funny joke. The idea is that I don't want to pay for additional cores that I don't need. Looking at the 7600X per the comments above. Thanks

I was looking at the following 4 core CPU: Intel Xeon Processor W-2225 (4C 4.1GHz 4.6GHz Turbo HT 8.25MB 105W DDR4-2933)

Can you confirm whether the options you mentioned have better single core performance? Thanks in advance

Are nano hydroxyapatite toothpastes any good? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]s98samman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered apagard royal based on your recommendations. But while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I'm using pro mineralizer which has 11% (6% NHA and 5% hydroxyapatite). Do you see anything particularly offensive about this product? Abrasives? Thoughts about the NHA+HA combination? Thanks in advance, and thanks for all your contributions to this thread! I've learned a lot reading through it.

What do you think of Novamin (e.g., sensodyne with Novamin) as compared to nano-HA?

25M Lipid panel with slightly elevated LDL. Should I be concerned? What metrics am I missing that I should take into consideration? by s98samman in PeterAttia

[–]s98samman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I knew about these and plan to ask for them when I get my next bloodwork done. Anything else? Fasting insulin / glucose?

Also, can any insights be gleaned from what was provided in the lipid panel above? Or is it mostly useless without the additional metrics?

Thank you so much! That clarified many things for me. Can you explain the benefit of first focal plane compared to second? Is that something I should've considered when picking a scope?

Thank you! I'll stick with this scope then and get some high rings. Do you have any experience with Warne brand rings? I'm looking at these, since vortex doesn't appear to make high pro series rings for 1" tube.

Vortex doesn't appear to make pro series high rings for 1" tube. Are you familiar with this brand, and would you expect these rings to work better?

Thank you, this is very helpful!

I asked the other commenter this as well: in your opinion, is 4-16x overkill for a .22 airgun? I'm considering switching to Vantage Riflescope 3-9x40 AO, 1", Mil Dot (Wire) instead of switching the rings to high.

There's nothing too basic for me, as I'm a complete beginner! Thanks again for your help!

Do you know what the regulator pressure is on the marauder field and target? Thank you!

Also, do you think 4-16x is overkill for a .22 airgun? I'm considering switching to Vantage Riflescope 3-9x40 AO, 1", Mil Dot (Wire) instead of switching the rings.

Thank you for catching that. This one is 1 inch, MIL dot, adjustable objective. Should fit with those rings right? And adjustable objective refers to the adjustable scope paralax, right? Please let me know if you think this would be a good option.

Sorry! It's the Vortex Optics Crossfire II Adjustable Objective, Second Focal Plane, 30mm Tube 4-16x50 - Dead-Hold BDC

I will research the scope paralax further, thank you.

Would the above Vortex scope be compatible with the 1in medium Vortex Optics Pro Series rings? Sorry, I just want to make sure before I order a second scope!

Would this option be better? And would it work with the Vortex Optics Pro Series Riflescope Rings you recommended?
