2024.05.15 16:48 nicolagaudenzi Song with a lot of wooooos
Hiii, I'm looking for a song that I heard in a commercial, I don't remember if it was a Coca Cola or Pringles or something like that. It's an upbeat pop rock song, and I'm pretty sure it contains the phrase “Feel alright” in the chorus. I made a vocaroo for the wooos melody with the guitar.

Anyone here uses the teya rewards app that used to be yoyo? Its getting shittier everyday and sometimes they overcharge you and took me 3 months to get back the refund.
Whats worse is now they have changed the new canned drinks from coca cola to pepsi etc and I am unable to use up all my rewards, i am graduating in a month and all my points seem to be going to a waste now. Any tips on this anyone?

2024.05.15 15:20 XXXt3n How to lose weight and why you shouldn't be greedy
Hey, Im Daniel and im 22. September 2023 i was 120kg(264 pounds), And this is the story of how i went from 120kg(39.6% bf) to 76kg(19.8% bf) in only 4 months.
My routine used to be, wake up, gaming for 18h straight, 2L Coca Cola and eating shit everyday, till i saw a Brazillian guy on youtube, his youtube channel is called "Space Today", And he started a project with some other professional bodybuilder youtubers, he started at 180kg and i was like "huh, if he can do it, why wouldn't i be able to? he's starting line is way above mine." so i went to my local gym, took some nutricionism advices online for better understanding of food, and used some apps like Myfitnesspal or Fatsecret, to know how many calories each food had, bought a scale to weight my food 1 by 1 and did everything perfectly. I used to workout like a madman, my new routine was, wake up at 7 a.m, fasting, go to gym and do cardio, and then muscle training, I was eating 1300 calories a day and my total expenditure was like 3000/3400, that in the beggining.
A few months go by, and i started to get heated up on things, started working out 2 times a day, 1h 30m cardio in the morning, 1h 30m muscle workout at noon, every single day, i was greedy, i wanted it, i trained like it was my last day on earth, heavy training at that, 20km running every day, 140kg squat, 400kg leg press, 100kg bench, i was pretty satisfied with my numbers with only 3 to 4 months of training. One day i looked at the mirror and i could the infamous 6 pack starting to get form, imagine, took me 21 years to get 120kg and only 4 months to get lean, pretty good huh? So, i kept increasing weights, at this point (by my 3rd month) i was eating 1800kcal already cuz i thought i was spending way too much and giving in way too little, but i didnt wanted to exagerate. It reached a point i was training 6 days a week, and only sunday off because the gym was closed on that day, so i would go in the park near my house and start running.
By the end of January, i was running my usual 20 to 25km daily, when i suddenly felt something wrong, it wasnt just muscle pain on my legs that i felt, i stopped the treadmill and looked down confused, it was hurting like hell but i didnt care, just felt like it was a bad day and went home, prepared for afternoon workout and went to the gym, walking with a lot of pain but i couldnt afford to care. Kept doing my workout as usual day by day but with a lot of pain, till one day i was in the treadmill, and i had to stop by the kilometer 2 or 3 because of extreme pain, i couldnt run anymore, so i kept walking on the treadmill, like i said before, i didnt care at all about pain, people used to look at me, i was smiling while running and at the same time looking like i was about to just drop on the floor dying, you dont know the feeling of being depleted of energy but keep going at it till you try it... But in this day in specific it was different, i couldnt run anymore, nor walk, nor nothing, i seated in the treadmill and when i tried to get back up i couldnt, it was pain in the lowerback(lumbar) radiating to the legs, i felt that everyday specially on leg days, but never at this level of pain, this time i couldnt get up at all, so my friend called the PT'S and they decided to call an ambulance. i did a TAC analysis in the hospital, and they discovered degenerative herniated disk and several damaged sciatic nerves. I'm that type of guy that doesnt cry for anything, but I started crying when they told me i couldnt work out anymore and that i would need a cirurgy to replace the damaged disks...
You dont know what it is until it happens to you... Its so frustrating, in the start, you do it because you need to do it in order to lose fat, but when you start to see progress, you start to have fun with it, it stops being an obligation and starts being a fun hobby. They use to say that "in your highest times is when the devil comes for you", and i felt exactly that, in a moment, i was happy for the first time in life with my self and my body, and 1 minute later i had nothing.
Sorry for the big text, all this to say, its not worth it guys, take it slow, do a diet where you do a decent deficit, cutting 500kcal is okay, its not worth it going under 2000kcal, you dont need to cut half your calories, your body needs nutrients in order to function properly, Think of your body like a car, it needs gasoline to keep going, but it also needs oil, and manuntention, etc. I felt a lot of times out of strenght, i just kept going because in my mind was some David Goggins type of shit, "Do or die", "Imagine if this weight was a car and your mom's below it, push it or she'll get crushed" type of mentality you know? But what for? The best advice i can give you is, loosing weight is extremely easy, like i said, 21 years to get to 120 and 4 months to get back to 76, and if i had done it safely, probably could've achieved close to that number, like 85 or 80, with an even better physique, cuz will all this cardio training i lost tons of muscle mass. Remember, your body needs to rest, its not a machine, the world wont end tomorrow, you have plenty of time no matter your age, forget about being meso, meta or endomorph, everyone can do it, just change your habits little by little, and when it comes to food you dont need to change it at all, just control your portions, inform yourself with useful data. There are a lot of fake influencers but, also good ones like Dr.Mike or Paul Revelia or Lee Lem, they give plenty of healthy advices for free on how to achieve your ideal body % and realistic time to get it.
Thank you for having patience to read through all this. If i could go back in time, i would've done everything differently, being greedy was my biggest mistake, but if you are fat right now, i know you understand what were my thoughts, i just wanted to get rid of all that fat. In the end, it wasn't worth it guys. Stay safe!

2024.05.15 12:55 Pineapple_Fru1t Nuka Cola Float.
Okay, so, since the Fallout cookbook exists, I saw the Nuka Cola Float in it, and it looked good. If you don't have a ice cream machine (i dont either), then just get some plain store bought ice cream, and some nuka cola in a tall glass.
Nuka Cola recipe:
Nuka Cola.
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Steeping time: 12 hours
Equipment: Zester (if you don’t know, it looks like a cheese grater, but little with tiny grater holes), large saucepan, fine mesh strainer, large (4 cup? 1L?) airtight jar. I also use a sodastream, but it’s not necessary.
Ingredients:
· Syrup:
o 2 cups water
o 3 cups sugar
o Zest and juice of ½ an orange
o Zest and juice of ½ a lime
o Zest and juice of ½ a lemon
o Spices:
§ 1 cinnamon stick
§ 3 cardamom pods
§ ½ tsp coriander seed
§ Pinch star anise seeds
o ¼ cup browning sauce
o 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· Mix:
o Club soda or some other fizzy water
o Ice
Directions:

§ 3 cardamom pods
§ ½ tsp coriander seed
§ Pinch star anise seeds
o ¼ cup browning sauce
o 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· Mix:
o Club soda or some other fizzy water
o Ice
Directions:
- Combine the water, sugar, zest of all three fruits, and spices. Boil over medium-high heat, whisking until the sugar is dissolved.
- Once it’s boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Once it’s simmered, strain the mixture into the airtight jar. Yes, it’ll be a funny greeny color. Almost like it's radioactive or something. Add the juices from the orange, lemon and lime, the browning sauce, and the vanilla.
- Allow it to cool to ambient room temperature, then refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Should last several weeks.
- Mix with fizzy water at a 4:1 ratio, add ice.
2024.05.15 09:53 Think_Ad8198 Hybe does not protect sublabels from internal competition. It never promised to.
Look at the portfolios of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Aside from the flagship colas, they own multiple tea and bottled water brands. The Volkswagen group owns both Bentley and Porsche. Unilever owns at least 8 different ice cream brands. Multinational conglomerates often own several internally competing subsidiaries.
MHJ feels jilted that HYBE debuted another group with the Twice TT aesthetic so soon after NJ's own debut, and she is right such a thing would never have happened at SM. At the same time she would admit SM also does not let producers spin off her own firm, enjoy full managerial and creative control, while taking 18% of the equities plus a fat options bonus.
I understand it would be amazing for NJ if HYBE started policing its subsidiaries to stay off of each other's turfs. Given Hybe's size and reach, it would be like developing a new SNS app knowing Mark Zuckerberg will take note of whatever I am doing and carefully avoid doing anything similar. Any market niche I carve out will be mine alone for years.
But that is not how Hybe operates, and it's hard to believe MHJ was misled to when she joined, considering that she was originally signed to Source, not BigHit. She enjoyed the benefits of Hybe's multi-label system as well as its massive wealth and global market reach, but now she claims she also deserves the protection of a single-label system... with massive wealth and global market reach.
TLDR: MHJ ate a huge, delicious cake. Now she is sad she has no cake.
Edit: I literally point out how Coca Cola owns multiple bottled water brands and weirdos talk to me about segmentation. Water.
If MHJ thinks Hybe breached contract, she can sue. Confidentiality clause can't cover a breach. You can't tell the judge you got wronged?
Also, no one listens to Magnetic and thinks it sounds like NJ. There's your segmentation.

2024.05.15 07:14 Vaiwenion Recipes for strict keto?
Heya!
I've had great success with keto for weight loss (more than 5 kilograms in 4,5 months).
As a very welcome "side effect", I've found that ketosis manages and helps me with my health condition. Within a few weeks, the symptoms cut into half, and with a month or two, they vanished. However, now they've returned.
I've got a hypothesis (unproven), that stricter keto could possibly help. Now I'm looking at how to cut my carbs reliably to under 20 in a sustainable way.
What I did eat when my symptoms were at lowest:
My goal is high fat, moderate protein, low carb (under 20 a day). Clean keto,
Any best recipes?

What I did eat when my symptoms were at lowest:
- Spontaneous intermittent fasting.
- Lots of water with lime, or Vichy
- Coffee with a lot of heavy cream in the morning.
- Lunch 11ish, 200-400g of minced meat with mushrooms and 1 spoonful of ketchup, a little cheese
- Dinner 16ish, same as lunch.
- Lots of water with lime, or Vichy
- Coffee with heavy cream in the morning
- Breakfast, 300g of Turkish yoghurt, with 1 spoonful of raw cocoa powder
- Lunch if I remember, 14ish
- Sometimes snack of half of an apple
- Dinner at 19ish
My goal is high fat, moderate protein, low carb (under 20 a day). Clean keto,

submitted by Glittering_Wealth195 to NSYNC [link] [comments]2024.05.15 02:54 Gold_Chemistry_8840 I did it! I called the cops!!!!!
It finally happened. My Q got drunk for the last time in my home. He was responsible for our 6 month old and had one job, pick me up from airport and celebrate my first mother's day together. All I wanted was a $9.99 gas station flower bouquet and a coca cola. That's it. Instead, no Q at the airport, no baby. When I get home I hear my child screaming. When he finally lets me in I am just distraught. He's wasted. So I grab my baby and called the cops. I trespassed him from my building. He resigned from his job yesterday. His brother drove him 3 hours away and he checked into a 6 month rehab program today. I'm the breadwinner and will no longer be able to keep my specific job. But my baby is safe and my baby is alive. My Q is hopefully getting the help he needs. I'm scared for my future and how I will support us but I'm proud of myself for following through and finally holding him accountable.

2024.05.15 01:02 Jimmy--Scott Anyone else get withdrawals from Coca Cola?
I love a can of coke and used to drink it every day. But, I sometimes noticed if I didn’t have a can I started getting headaches so I stopped drinking it all together.
It’s been a few years and I do have the occasional can of coke here and there. But, I still get headaches.
On Saturday I had one can of coke in the afternoon. 48 hours later I started getting a headache which lasted for about a day.
The only thing that makes sense is it could be a caffeine withdrawal.
Does this happen to anyone else?

2024.05.14 23:32 AngeredFuffin Uncomfortable realisations about family, childhood, etc
I need to get this "off my chest". Obligatory "I can't include literally everything that builds up the situation or otherwise we'd end up with a War and Peace thick post.
Me, 35M; Wife: 35F; Sperm Donor 75 M; Mom 72; Aunt 72F; Aunt 2 70s F,
I used to think my childhood and home life was idyllic and great, but as I've aged I've realised how very, very effed up it actually was. It wasn't so much that it was idyllic, it was that I'm AUDHD and was perfectly content to be alone and do my own thing. Some of these realisations have coloured how I view my parents and family and I have stopped thinking of the man who's DNA I share as "dad" and more "Sperm donor" or "his name".
I fully admit that I have a lot of "daddy issues". All I've really ever wanted was a dad to do dad things with; learning how to do things like fix cars, going fishing, learning to drive, etc. Typical sappy 'Merican "Andy Griffith Show" type crap. I know that's not reality for most people, but it's kind of a sore point for me. Because of this, I've kind of spend most of my youth chasing after older males in my life like a lost puppy hoping someone will pick me out of the box left on the side of the road. I'm lucky to have found at least one person in my life who fulfills that role for me. He's only a few years older chronologically but decades older in experience and maturity.
I've learned a lot over the last few years about how things actually were as opposed to how I saw them. Examples being:
1) My sperm donor is a "what's mine is mine and what's your's in mine too"
2) My sperm donor inflated what he actually did as a "provider" and the reality was quite different. The home we lived in was paid for out of my mother's pocket, my immediate needs (clothes, medication, snacks, activities, school needs) were paid for out of my mother's pocket, and money that had been gifted from family for me to go into a college fund "disappeared" right around the time my dad decided to buy a vintage British racing car.
3) My sperm donor has his side of the family convinced he's father and husband of the year.
4) My sperm donor is stubborn. Not in a cute way, but in a way that's resulted in thousands of dollars of home damage, refusal to repair things for decades because he refuses to call in a professional, and literally refusing to allow his spouse to undergo medical treatment for two years past when it was deemed medically necessary.
The first 10 years of my life were ok, but in my early teens my mom got "sick". To lend some context, her mother also "got sick" when she was in her mid forties. There was never a diagnosis and an autopsy of mother's mother showed only a minor stomach ulcer. Both sets of grandparents are long since dead, any family on her side is gone, and I have no one who was around during that time to give me any input or tell me what was going on at that time other than my parents who have opposing views. Mom says her mother was just a very sickly lady but would also tell me stories about how Grandma would do things like steal motorcycles, get into fights, and do all these crazy things as a younger person. SD's version of events is that Grandma always "got sick" whenever someone in their family or friend circle had an event that might not make Grandma the centre of attention. My understanding is that my mom was expected to act as a live in nurse up until she met and married SD. At which point Grandma and Grandpa dropped dead in quick succession. I am also told that Grandpa took and controlled all my mother's wages from her career up until she met my SD.
Mom "got sick" in my early teens and it was on me to be the one to look after her. I was the one who had to help her when she threw up. I was the one to have to remind her to shower, change her clothes, get her meds refilled, etc. I'd go to doctor's appts with her and try to help explain what was happening and what symptoms she was having because unfortunately, a lot of the doctors were male and dismissed her out of hand. She did end up with a fibromyalgia diagnosis, a condition I also share and understand. The majority of her symptoms are stomach issues; ie nausea, vomiting, not wanting to eat etc. When I say she's had the entire gamut of gut health testing done, I mean it's all been done. At least three times. At one point the Gastro she saw told her that he'd exhausted everything and that there is no physical reason for her symptoms and that if she did not at least try to eat, he'd send her for psychiatric evaluation and have her fitted with a feeding tube.
I need to clarify that I too have always had gastrointestinal issues and not too long ago discovered I have coeliac disease. Adhering to that diet has eliminated the majority of my issues. Despite the fact they eliminated this disease as a potential cause in my mom, I suggested trying this and an elimination diet to see if it helped, but she refused. Her diet for years has consisted of white bread and jam, grits, coca cola, and tea exclusively. Occasionally she would get sushi. This is not an exaggeration. That's all she has eaten for years.
Throughout all of this, my SD rolled his eyes and sat on his ass continuing to eat dinner or watch tv while she'd go running to the kitchen to vomit, me chasing after her to try and help. (Mom would at least appear to get faint during these vomiting instances) so I would be there to make sure she didn't pass out as she vomited in the sink, then clean out the sink after her, then help her back to the couch and bring her something to drink.
It's been 20 years of this now. My wife and I have been living in our own home for about 4 years and I am no longer there to be the one to try and clean up the messes and fill in the cracks, as it were. My family has visited us three times, even though we live maybe 45 minutes away. I have returned to my parents house probably about 15-20 times to do repairs to the home. Right now, all "repairs" have stalled out because apparently having things like a functional and safe bathroom aren't nearly as important to SD as buying military collectibles, guns, and gourmet cheeses.
This January Mom landed herself in the hospital with a bloodclot due to falling and hitting her head. My SD didn't take her to the hospital until a full week after she'd fallen and no one called me for a full 24 hours after she'd been admitted. She went back and forth amongst the ER, rehab, and hospital for about two months and the result of all that was that they discovered she has throat dysphagia but no other underlying disorders. She's now home with a G-tube, oxygen, bedside commode, and an in home nurse that visit occasionally.
Right now, what's weighing on me most strongly is that my parents now have my SD's sister living with them and she is constantly singing his praises and talking about what a wonderful and attentive husband he is. I'm honestly enraged about it, especially now that more of the extended family, who frankly couldn't be arsed to return phone calls, emails, or snail mail over the last 30 years, suddenly have opinions and are lauding him for how great he's been.
I feel like I have this Monty Python 10 tonne weight over my head, because I know that when my parents shuffle off this mortal coil there is going to be a veritable dungheap left for me to deal with in their decrepit home. I'm mad and sad and tired and I honestly just don't want to deal with it anymore. I can't stop feeling irritated that my mom has basically just given up on trying to do.... anything. And had done way before there was an "excuse". Holidays are a nightmare for me because there's nothing this woman wants or like or gets excited about. She doesn't have hobbies anymore, doesn't like doing anything, isn't interested in collecting things, doing crafts, etc, even talking. The times I've been around her for any length of time and attempted to talk to her, she just looks at me with this kind of watery eyed and vaguely befuddled expression or answers with one or two syllables. She is NOT suffering any dementia or similar issues and has been tested for such. It's like she just... doesn't care.
I've spent so long trying to make her comfortable, happy, etc. Tried to get her things she liked or get her into things that would make her happy. My wife's mother is only a few years younger and is active in her community, teaches classes, does art, goes on trip with my FIL, and visits and talks to people regularly. As do most of my peers' parents. This is really hard and I feel very sad and lonely about it. My poor wife has heard it all over and over again and I hate bothering my already stressed close friends with my rants....

It's been 20 years of this now. My wife and I have been living in our own home for about 4 years and I am no longer there to be the one to try and clean up the messes and fill in the cracks, as it were. My family has visited us three times, even though we live maybe 45 minutes away. I have returned to my parents house probably about 15-20 times to do repairs to the home. Right now, all "repairs" have stalled out because apparently having things like a functional and safe bathroom aren't nearly as important to SD as buying military collectibles, guns, and gourmet cheeses.
This January Mom landed herself in the hospital with a bloodclot due to falling and hitting her head. My SD didn't take her to the hospital until a full week after she'd fallen and no one called me for a full 24 hours after she'd been admitted. She went back and forth amongst the ER, rehab, and hospital for about two months and the result of all that was that they discovered she has throat dysphagia but no other underlying disorders. She's now home with a G-tube, oxygen, bedside commode, and an in home nurse that visit occasionally.
Right now, what's weighing on me most strongly is that my parents now have my SD's sister living with them and she is constantly singing his praises and talking about what a wonderful and attentive husband he is. I'm honestly enraged about it, especially now that more of the extended family, who frankly couldn't be arsed to return phone calls, emails, or snail mail over the last 30 years, suddenly have opinions and are lauding him for how great he's been.
I feel like I have this Monty Python 10 tonne weight over my head, because I know that when my parents shuffle off this mortal coil there is going to be a veritable dungheap left for me to deal with in their decrepit home. I'm mad and sad and tired and I honestly just don't want to deal with it anymore. I can't stop feeling irritated that my mom has basically just given up on trying to do.... anything. And had done way before there was an "excuse". Holidays are a nightmare for me because there's nothing this woman wants or like or gets excited about. She doesn't have hobbies anymore, doesn't like doing anything, isn't interested in collecting things, doing crafts, etc, even talking. The times I've been around her for any length of time and attempted to talk to her, she just looks at me with this kind of watery eyed and vaguely befuddled expression or answers with one or two syllables. She is NOT suffering any dementia or similar issues and has been tested for such. It's like she just... doesn't care.
I've spent so long trying to make her comfortable, happy, etc. Tried to get her things she liked or get her into things that would make her happy. My wife's mother is only a few years younger and is active in her community, teaches classes, does art, goes on trip with my FIL, and visits and talks to people regularly. As do most of my peers' parents. This is really hard and I feel very sad and lonely about it. My poor wife has heard it all over and over again and I hate bothering my already stressed close friends with my rants....
