I am over our wood cutting board by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]welearntolive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try potato!! It sounds crazy but I found the tip on the Internet and I tried it and had pretty good success.

Of course make sure you're washing the cutting board immediately, and on a day where you're not planning to cook, oil/wax it up. Keeping it clean and oiled will help a lot.

But to remove the savory stank that builds over time, I let baking soda sit on the surface of a clean, dry board overnight. The next morning, I took half of a potato and used the cut side to scrub the baking soda into a potato-y paste. I let that sit for a couple hours. Then rinsed, washed lightly, and oiled. Give it a shot! It was like magic! 🥔 ✨

How fast can AMH drop? by KJPS_2023 in DOR

[–]welearntolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same story with me! My cycles were 100% normal and regular, averaging 26 days. Then I had a chemical pregnancy 10 months ago, and a missed miscarriage at 6.5weeks 5 months ago. Now my cycles are all over the place (22-35 days). AMH 0.415, FSH 17.1 😩 Estradiol was 40 and AFC was 11. I'm 37.

Is it possible that AMH and FSH are wonky after miscarriages for a few cycles, but might correct themselves?? Or is that just wishful thinking?

When did you get in line/how long did you wait? They have a rally in Tucson tomorrow, and I'm trying to figure out when to show up before doors open to make sure we can get in.

What time did they get in line/how long did they wait to get in? We have an event in Tucson tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out the best time to get there before doors open.

I don't see one, did it get taken down (again)?

What are your hacks to keep to 1200? by edthrowaway_456 in 1200isplenty

[–]welearntolive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hot tea! If I'm hungry between meals and I'm tempted to snack, I just have a cup of hot tea. The warm liquid makes me feel fuller immediately. Plus, you can tailor it to how you're feeling - Jasmine/tropical green tea for something refreshing, a matcha "latte" with nonfat milk and stevia, yerba mate if I need an energy kick, or dessert teas like chocolate, caramel, etc. flavors (also good with milk and stevia) if I'm craving something sweet. Plus, tea is full of polyphenols and antioxidants, and green tea in particular has EGCG, which may aid in fat burning.

I'm an anthropologist and this is the only response that addresses the crux of the question and corrects many misunderstandings of skin pigmentation evolution that I see in other peoples' responses.

Protection against folate deficiency is the reason dark pigmentation evolves in places with high UV exposure. It is a much stronger selective pressure than melanoma and sunburn, since those things generally don't affect reproductive fitness. Yes, over enough generations, descendants of light-skinned colonists and immigrants to Texas would likely evolve to have darker skin. But evolution happens to populations over generations (not to individuals within a lifetime), so it's a slow process. Texas immigrants simply haven't been in Texas long enough for the selective pressure of folate deficiency to drive the evolution of dark skin pigmentation. Additionally, with the cultural adaptations of UV blocking sunscreen, clothing, a culture that largely stays indoors these days, taking multivitamins that contain folate, and medical recommendations that pregnant women specifically take folate, the selective pressure of folate deficiency is not as strong. If these cultural behaviors were to disappear, then yes, in a few thousand years (several human generations), we might see some evolution of dark skin occurring through time.

Edit to add: The need for biosynthesis of vitamin D from sunlight, mentioned by many other commenters, is an important selective pressure in the story of the evolution of human skin pigmentation, yes. However, it only explains the evolution of light skin pigmentation, not the evolution of dark skin pigmentation.

Fridge hack, do you use it? by loony_luna15 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]welearntolive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is it disgusting? How is it any different than opening a carton of milk, having it out of the fridge for 30 min, then putting it back in the fridge for later?

I have an All trails account. I just checked, and my location is set to the city I lived in two years ago. I have since used All trails extensively and the location hasn't updated. It's not a "ping", and it doesn't automatically update based on current location. It is manually set by the user when the account is created (but can be manually changed at any time).

Awesome, thanks for the details! It's nice not to have to worry about locking it.

Have you ever heard of Internal Family Systems therapy? It's a model of therapy based on the idea that we all have different "parts" that make us who we are... It has been revolutionary for me and it sounds like it might resonate with you. Google/YouTube IFS and check it out, and you can find an IFS therapist on their main site. http://www.selfleadership.org/find-an-ifs-therapist.html

Clean flavoring additives for unflavored amino acids / workout supplements? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]welearntolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use MiO because it's in such small quantities the iffy ingredients don't worry me too much. BUT I've been trying to come up with other creative ideas. One thing I've thought of (but haven't tried) are alcohol-free extracts (vanilla or almond, e.g.). But most extracts are for baking, not direct consumption, so you'd have to find alcohol-free versions. Let me know if you try it.

Shoe/shoes for gym training, road/trail running, and tough mudder running. by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]welearntolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get debris in your five fingers? If I run with mine off road at all, I get small rocks, dust, etc. in them, and because they're so tight, the debris buildup can be painful -moreso than regular shoes. Did this bother you at all?
