We live in a spot that *should* be perfect in the evenings. Nice breeze, quiet neighborhood, the smell of fresh cut grass, but every single night used to come with a price: **mosquitoes**. Like clockwork, they'd swarm the porch and turn our hangouts into a nonstop slap-fest. I’ve used sprays, coils, citronella buckets - you name it. But nothing ever worked long enough or well enough, and I ***** putting sticky chemicals on my skin every night. Then one night, while venting about it to a coworker, she casually mentioned a gadget called **Repelix** that she swore had “completely changed their evenings.” I was skeptical (as usual), but curious enough to give it a shot. **What even ...

I want to get my mitochondria in the best shape for energy production/efficient operation but there are a lot of supplements, fasting, autophagy, etc… topics that are discussed when I have been researching. Now I am at the phase of wanting to implement some of these protocols but honestly don’t know where to start (information overload). Does anyone have any protocols or recommendations on where to start or things that have worked well for you? I’m 37, 3 kids under 5, 165ish lbs 5’10, ~10-15% body fat, eat clean (whole foods, no ultra processed foods) 90% of the time and also enjoy pizza, ice cream, etc… the other 10%. Thank you!

Dialing in your hormones? Track your protocols, labs, and progress with the [TRT Tracker IOS App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/trt-tracker-injections-log/id6747364258) Ever felt like something's just "off" despite your doctor telling you your Total Testosterone levels are "normal"? You're dragging, your mind feels foggy, your libido's nowhere to be found, and you're wondering what gives. I've been there, and in my experience, it often comes down to looking beyond just one number. One of the unsung heroes - or sometimes, the sneaky villain - in your male hormone panel is something called SHBG. What is SHBG, you ask? It's often overlooked, ...

There are two local spots that I can rely on for a good Romance haul. One of them is a general thrift store which reliably gets fresh drops of grandma's old panty steamers. The other is a dedicated used bookstore that I have mentally labeled the "expensive" one and therefor try to avoid. "Expensive" meaning that the books are usually around five Canadian dollars instead of around two Canadian dollars. Well today I was driving by, trying to mind my own business, when I spotted a sign in the window written in sharpie on a neon green bristol board. It said "Summer Sale" but it might as well have said "u/Competitive-Yam5126's Doom". I was helple...

Max Holloway has turned volume into a weapon of mass destruction. He’s landing close to 7 sig strikes per minute, walking through fire, and still outworking everyone. But it’s not just head shots: his body work is surgical now, landing over 1.7 per minute at 74% accuracy. That gas tank and durability combo is insane. Also, his takedown defense is quietly elite. He’s up to 83%, which means you’re not taking him down and stalling — you’re stuck striking with him for 15-25 minutes. Good luck with that. But Dustin Poirier’s not the same guy Max fought at 145. He’s fully grown into lightweight and brings a different kind of heat. 8 KOs since moving up. Still throws in volume...

(Bad english, I'm poor father illiterate) So Yesterday I finally shouted and asked dad, "why have you started hating me, you were not like this before, neither do you let me live peacefully, nor you kill me, am I sinner to him? I am living a suffocated life, in my 25 years of life I never even talked to boys, still why do you call me characterless being confined in four walls, was I not good in studies, did not make me feel proud, did not help me in business, and never bought anything expensive, did not even ask for cheap things, did an online job after completing schooling, no matter how badly I was treated at the job, still I kept working on the lowest salary, I never had any gir...

These spiders have 0 aggression in them, they are big scaredy cats that do not want anything to do with us at all!! See how no matter what I do, he just tries to run away. I want yall to know, I used to be a huge entomophobe. I'm talking scream and run out the room if I saw a spider, entomophobe. But, I've worked really hard over the years to get over this fear. Exposure therapy, first online watching videos, then in person, handling all sorta of bugs. These creatures are fascinating, beautiful, gentle, and do not mean to scare us. Brown recluses are just big babies. Don't want to get bit? Well don't squish one against your body, and you'll be okay. I hope we ca...

my "mental" anxiety isn't even that bad. it's nothing beyond what I'm used to. I'm able to work myself through pretty much anything now with the help of therapy. but my physical anxiety symptoms... by far the worst aspect of having anxiety. I can just be minding my own business going about my day and suddenly I'll feel like I'm slowly dying. Pounding heart rate for no reason, skipped heartbeats for no reason, headaches, shakes etc.. Sometimes ill basically be in a constant state of anxiety for weeks. When panic attacks happen, which they frequently do during these periods, it will almost be a relief because they will "flush" it out of my sy...

I can't sit on the sidelines anymore watching what's happening to innocent people in our communities. The stories coming out of LA, Chicago, and everywhere else are absolutely heartbreaking. U.S. citizens being detained for hours, families torn apart, people arrested just for being brown or speaking Spanish. This isn't the America I believe in. So instead of just doom-scrolling and feeling helpless, I spent the last few days building Firewatch, a comprehensive civil rights protection app that I'm giving away completely free, forever. **What it does:** Real-time ICE raid alerts with community-powered early warning system.

For reference, I (36f) have suffered my entire life with sweaty hands and feet, even in my armpits, since I was in middle school. My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with some medical issues and his cortisol levels were noted to be high. So along with him, I’ve been taking ashwagandha and magnesium, and done a Flewd magnesium bath soak. (Doing another soak tonight) I feel… so different, and lucky. This may be a flule, but nothing else has ever worked for me (deodorants, anti sweat creams, etc). I even have been using lotion because my hands feel dry! I’ll report back 💦

Suddenly 8 days ago, in middle of playing, when because of memory leaks I decided to relaunch Idle Champions, I found out, that I can't launch any game through Heroic. No updates run then, no any changes in settings, it just worked like 8 hours earlier and then began throwing errors. Being quite busy RL I just switched to my old W10 laptop, hoping that it's maybe some background update, but now with fully updated system it's still the same. Seems like the problem is the page fault listed in the first line, but I seem unable to deal with it. For Ticket to Ride the first line reads: *Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000010 in 32-bit code (0x0b6ccfd8).* Fo...

Things aren’t any easier, but they are less hard. The peace and quiet has been incredibly healing and within that peace I have managed to, for the first time, drop down my anchor and float in the stillness. I have done so much work. Therapy every week. Journaling every day. Any time I have been anxiously bored I have done a tutorial in Blender/Touch Designer/Houdini/Unreal. I did an online workshop in AI generated 3D environments. It was mind blowing, really futuristic stuff. The other week I built the coolest little animated scene. I’ve just been trying to keep as busy and inspired as possible. I have been incredibly lonely, such painful solitude, but I started to learn from the boo...

Even my notably stony exterior has eroded in the past few weeks. I have street smarts, and I am accustomed to receiving a lot of attention, but it has never been hostile. Are these occurrences karmic retribution for not being enough of a feminist on previous rs\_x posts? What have I done to invite all this? * Man on street took a knife up to my neck and threatened me in broad daylight * Man, homeless, on train throwing plastic water bottle at my chest * Men with various gripes explosively yelling at me, explosively (2x) or scoldingly (2x) * Man ogled me as I stood outside a store and he was leaving with his items in hand, later he followed me down aisles and cornered me using a fridge door,...

Clap, clap, clap. The sound of vigorous applause. At the same time, a voice that had been aware of everything earlier echoed through the air. "Impressive, truly impressive." Click. Shiny black shoes moved toward me. A perfectly pressed suit, sharp as a knife. Over it, he wore a leather coat that reached down to his knees. He stopped walking right in front of me. "Mr. Jin, I've heard much about you, but... it was worth coming all this way. You're even more impressive than I thought." The suddenness of the situation left me confused. Seeing my bewildered expression, he responded with a relaxed smile. "No need to be so flustered. It's just that the...
