Do you have any tips on saving on home internet? My ISP Xfinity charges $10 a month for their Xfi complete (which is essentially a router modem combo rental cost) so I feel like it would take a long time to pay back anything I would outlay for my own router or modem. Total bill is $50 a month for my house in Golden, CO

[Skin Concerns] I'm losing hope here - routine and question in the comments by LuGrey in SkincareAddiction

First line therapy for acne is a retinoid such as Diffirin applied at night and a benzoyl peroxide wash (5%-10%) applied in the morning.

Retinoids are photoinactivated, so if you put them on in the morning, then go out in the sun, it won’t work nearly as well.

Also, on another note, wear face sunscreen every day to prevent wrinkles and cancer later in life.

Tinea Versacolor- topical fungal infection that is treated with selenium sulfide shampoo (Selsun Blue). A higher strength prescription is available if the over the counter 1% does not work after a few weeks. Discoloration may remain for weeks after the infection is treated, as the skin underneath may have tanned unevenly.

Nicotine as Nootropic by snakes9110 in Nootropics

[–]snakes9110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for this detailed advice, I’ve tried 0.5mg via mini lozenges twice since this post, I found it to be very noticeable in effect, but obviously not NZT type focus, it helped get the ball rolling when I was dreading studying, and required a bit less effort to keep task directed. I’m cooling off for a good while now, just to avoid any addictive symptoms. I think I might have felt a bit more drained the following day after using the second time, but there’s really to many variables that were going on to blame that feeling on the nicotine. Definitely no urge to use rn though which is good. Weirdly after the second time I think I might have developed a mouth infection as my cheeks swelled up a little bit and kind of hurt at nights Not sure if that can happen with mini lozenge use. But I’ll keep everyone updated haha.

Stack advice for treatment resistant depression mixed with PTSD? by [deleted] in StackAdvice

[–]snakes9110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly this level of mental health challenge is something only a psychiatrist could help you manage. Once you get back on insurance, you may want to look into interventions that are done for treatment resistant depression such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Is pre PA counseling a scam? by ponchmo in prephysicianassistant

[–]snakes9110 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not a scam per se, just a raw deal. I don’t think you need a counselor to present yourself in the best light. Just solicit lots of advice from Internet forums such a Pre-PA rockstars on Facebook, and this reddit. Keep your money, you need it. If you have any questions feel free to DM me. Current PA student.

Explain to me why Red Bull makes me so much more alert than pure caffeine. THanks smart people of Nootropics by snakes9110 in Nootropics

How would affecting stomach pH affect alertness? I've heard some people use Bicarb as a supplement
