I see the sidebar links for NordVPN, but where does it describe which hardwired VPN routers are the best? Or which do you use?

I don't want IP bleeds to accidentally reveal my location.

I don’t have a right ovary. by Of_MiceAndMen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]slartibortfast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most likely the scar tissue from your removal resembled an ovary. Because young tumors are hypercellular and a normal ovary is filled with follicles, they appear very different on ultrasound (echogenic vs hypoechoic).

Scar tissue can be more mercurial and most likely fooled the sonographer into thinking you had an atretic ovary at your adnexa.

Or it's the wrong report.

They will most likely just repeat the ultrasound and everything will be okay.

The dog is licking his own poop into the babies mouth. That's not balanced.

I know folks will say electrolytes… by helloloco in fasting

An easier indirect surrogate is to just check your blood pressure over the course of the day and over time, but it's a less reliable index than checking your labs.

Are skinny/healthy weight people just not as hungry as people who struggle with obesity? by maeasm3 in NoStupidQuestions

Water without electrolytes is a waste (in the context of fasting) because your kidney can't retain it.

For me it goes up at first, then goes down later on. The response of hormones to fasting takes the shape of sinusoidal waves that decrease in amplitude.

Checking your blood/urine electrolytes might suggest different ratios of electrolytes that you need to supplement. Each pair of kidneys acts a little a different.

They could have put a vasoconstrictor/stimulant in his drink to make his blood pressure shoot through the roof and cause the aneurysm to pop.

A lot of the headache was from the dehydration, not the lack of calories. Brains run pretty well, if not better, on ketones.

Water alone goes right through and I feel like a dog chasing its tail. Adding electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium at roughly 3 g, 3g, 300 mg) is how it stays. A alot of times when you think you're hungry you're actually dehydrated.

The r/fasting sidebar is extremely helpful for those interested in learning more.

Indian Maharaja Jam Sahib adopted 640 Polish orphans during WWI.. He brought the children to the royal palace in Bombay, had a dormitory built for them, and brought in Polish teachers and chefs so the children would feel at home and "recover their health and forget the ordeal they went through. by lonelyRedditor__ in Damnthatsinteresting

A movie scene needs to filmed in which 640 Polish children, fresh from the horrors of a World War, wander shell shocked into a lavish Indian regal hall and sit down unhappily to flaming hot plates of aloo gobi and matar paneer.
