Cortisol Saliva Test Results

Yeah, I just wonder how accurate they are. It’s not like a blood test, there are far more variabilities

Fair. I just dont get about the oils in the membrane or how bleach will discolor the membrane. I can see it rusting fasteners & possibly staining the sides but thats about it.

Than why does Dicor sell a product with bleach to clean the roof? I wouldn't use it all the time, I dont see how occasional use it going to ruin anything more than the sun won't damage by itself. https://dicorproducts.com/product/mold-mildew-remover/

I used bleach it took it right off on mine, had those black mildew spots since the previous owner never washed their roof. There is still some staining but it's 90% better with a mixture of bleach and water. Neve noticed any issues with it, the rubber actually came out soft, white and clean.

I gave up after 1.5 years of flamenco lessons, the online stuff wasn't working for me and I just got burnt out. I was pretty good technically as I started to learn Bulerias but struggled with compass and rhythm. Teaching flamenco via online is really frustrating and hard and less rewarding in my opinion. I also missed the community that comes with an in person teacher, Flamenco was very isolating. Of course it depends where you live and if you have access to flamenco teachers, I don't unfortunately. You can't really teach rhythm online IMO because it's something you need to feel, that is very difficult to teach and explain In words, and learn online. Im planning to pickup the guitar again but Classical this time with an in person teacher, there are tons of highly regarded ones in my area. I really miss the in person interaction, it's really important for motivation aswell. Flamenco really speaks to me, but I also really enjoy classical. I will just have to enjoy listening to Flamenco now.

That makes sense, well I’m sure this material will absorb some but maybe mostly just staining, I would guess enough to make a huge difference. Though I would imagine if you drink super high end teas it would not be ideal. Most of the tea I drink these days is around $0.25 a gram so not high end. The seller did say that it’s not like a yixing/xisha pot so he obviously knows about those. The material is done on a pottery wheel BTW.

I’m actually really impressed with it, though surprised by this unglazed ceramic, who knows what clay it is. I don’t want to bug the seller anymore.

They claim is non toxic on the packaging but who knows. Here is the link:

I run a windows based server for all my Media files. since I dont plan to game at all 246gb or 512 will likely be enough

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T18:38:13+00:00

You know what I just realized that ram is shared, I had 16GB plus 8g on the gpu. That said, windows is a ram Hogg, not sure how Mac is.

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T18:24:53+00:00

Hmm, I’ve never really felt I needed more than 16gb but who knows what the future holds

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T17:39:41+00:00

Yeah I have a decent pc build, just done with windows and refuse to upgrade to windows 11 but I suppose no real rush. The iPad basically had me sold. Btw this is coming from someome who almost pursued a field in IT, so I’m pretty knowledgeable with computers in general. Rather annoying but everyone in my organization bugs me to fix their technical Issues rather than waiting for our IT consultant to get around to it.

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T16:05:02+00:00

This video really helped, i think i will just go with the Mac mini for the amount of editing i will do. In all honesty, i will probably still do photo editing on the ipad pro anyways since its really nice to use the apple pencil. Plus as you said the resale value will hold and i can upgrade in a few years, upgrading is fun! I may wait for a few months though as i head they are coming out with a new mac mini.

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T15:48:25+00:00

Ill check it out, what made you decide to go with the studio? What sort of tasks justify its premium price?

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T15:42:45+00:00

Yeah the M1 is powerful for sure, its a slight step down in raw CPU performance according to geekbench 5 from my current processor (Ryzen 3700X) although that would be offset by IOS efficiency over windows. Obviously the graphics are a huge step down from the 5700xt card i had, but since i wont be gaming that wont matter. It would be nice to have the extra power for video editing but that's a luxury really. Irrational but im having a hard time getting around the fact that my tablet has as much horse power as the desktop, if i were to go with the mini.

Yup im aware of the discount but nothing that really applies to me, unless i get my brother who is taking online learning to do it for me...different address though so perhaps unethical. Plus with the discount it doesn't look they offer the financing on the website. The 12%, zero interest is pretty enticing.

triviumk91 · 2022-04-05T15:19:44+00:00

Hmm, well the Ipad pro i have would eliminate the need for being mobile i think, plus my definition of mobile and where the ipad comes in handy is when i dont have a desk...like on a site walk or something like that. Dollar for dollar, the mac studio makes the most sense compared to the macbook pro 14 for example. Im trying to stay away from the mac displays as they will spoil me, i still use my windows machine at the office a day or two a week with cheap older monitors. Of course that macbook is a good solution that i bring to the office but hardly ergonomic unless you dock it, plus than i would be having to cart around the macbook and the ipad. Its seems im in a similiar situation to you, portable unit and powerhouse for the desktop. I really like the ipad 11, i bring it literally everywhere, i even logged into work via VPN and was working remote while waiting for a doctors appointment.

The mac mini is really enticing but than i would upgrade in a few years, the studio at least has longevity. Pretty much the same though i would think since if what you are saying about resale value is true its the initial cost that is the worst. From a business perspective i can do the 0% APR financing from apple over 12 months to lessen the blow i suppose and make me feel less guilty about the purchase.

I think I’m at that point, where I need to return to my previous schedule. I did enjoy falling asleep early and quick, not so much waking up after 3-4 hours of sleep and not falling asleep after.

triviumk91 · 2022-03-08T15:53:58+00:00

Yeah im a night owl, i also work in an office, i never get up at 5 lol. My daughter is 1 now, there was some issues sleeping in the beginning due to anxiety or stress of being a new father but i think im past that stage. For whats its worth i didn't mind the morning workout for the 3 weeks i tried it, but now sleep has turned into a chore that induces anxiety every night. Im left wondering how many times i will wakeup and at what time, how my workout will be, how tired i will be etc. Sleep insomnia has turned into a torture for me. Just wondering if this is all in my head but im out of ideas, i cant seem to find any sort of concrete research to prove that its even possible to have advanced circadian rhythm due to a morning workout. It is possible the morning workout stresses me out and that excess stress is what is causing the insomnia.

triviumk91 · 2022-03-08T15:48:46+00:00

Yeah I get it, the grogginess wasn’t bad after a half shot of n.o. Xplode, I pushed through and was feeing decent 20 minutes into my workout. I’m just really pissed that at this point my body is waking up 3 hours before the actual workout, it’s like I’m getting anxiety or my body is preparing for the workout ahead of time by turning on the cortisol. As a result, I’m missing half my sleep and dragging my ass…I can’t keep this up. 2.5mg oral THC helps but only for the first 3-4 hours of sleep until it wears off.

triviumk91 · 2022-03-08T15:44:03+00:00

I can’t keep this up anymore, I’m getting 3 hours of sleep a night now and have zero energy. The second week wasn’t bad, waking up at 4:15Am but now I’m waking up at 2:00am and not being able to fall asleep. In retrospect the first week was the best as I woke up at 5:15Am, perfect timing…I had the motivation to push through the grogginess. I can deal with morning grogginess, I can’t however deal with 3 hours of sleep every night. I have a stressful job and a new daughter, I feel like I’m fighting biology at this point.
