2024.05.15 18:38 Galactic-Gato 30 [M4F] #Houston, Texas. Hoping to create a connection.

Howdy there, I am a 30 Hispanic Male who lives in the Katy Area near Houston. I am in an Ethical Non-Monogamous Relationship, and I hope to potentially find a new friend, or partner on here.
I am new to this lifestyle so I hope you can understand hesitancy in the things that I do. I have been in an open relationship with my spouse for a long time, but it hasn’t been until recent that I decided to take the plunge and see what was out there for me. I have made a few friends down the line but nothing super serious. I hope to potentially change that in the future!
With that outta the way a little about myself. I work a 9-5 office job and would consider myself a bit of a homebody (honestly mostly because of this ungodly heat!). I tend to prefer smaller crowds and quieter scenes, so I suppose you could say I am a bit of an introvert lol. Movies are my go to when it comes to a nice evening, or binging something good on Netflix. Love most genres of music, and love to fiddle around with my own instruments, despite it really just being me noodling around. Enjoy video games, and comics as well. Basically, if it entails being at someone’s home or my own, I am usually down! And a big enjoyer of the electric lettuce⚡️🥬 👀👀, so if you are done with any of this you should definitely message me lol.
As far as what I am looking for? Honestly just someone to talk with who share similar interest. Someone who understands ENM and isn’t going to try to shame me for it. And honestly, if possible, someone older than me. I have such a huge attraction to women in their 40’s and above.
For anything else, please feel free to message me, I am quite honestly a big open book, and I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

2024.05.15 18:37 great_firefang The Official Novel mentioned Godzilla and Shimo fought in the past

 The Official Novel mentioned Godzilla and Shimo fought in the past
We first saw Godzilla and Shimo's fight art In The Hunted comic. Yeah, they knew each other a long time ago, and might had a combat. The official novel further showed it. According to the Novel we can know something interesting and important.
1.Godzilla didn't win the battle of past. They clearly showed Godzilla's most powerful weapon, the Atomic Breathe wasn't do anything with her. But I believe Godzilla didn't hurt much. The relationship between Godzilla and her not like Monster Zero. Monster Zero is a pure alien destroyer, He is a old enemy of Godzilla. But Shimo isn't. She is also a protector of nature, she is kind and gentle. she even didn't want to attack Kong until Skar King cruelly order her. So the battle is scarcely possible a death fight. Godzilla probably challenged her, but didn't work. Of Course, Shimo probably wasn't do much thing to him. She is never a cruel creature.
2.Dr. Andrews think she is might bigger and more powerful than Godzilla according to the rock art.
3.Kong believed Godzilla is the strongest thing he had fought(obviously includes Mechagodzilla), However Shimo is stronger. In fact, Untill Godzilla enter his Supercharged Evo Form, he began to the equal battle with her.
  1. Shimo is the direct cause of Godzilla's evolution. We can compare with Kotm story,When Monster Zero wakes up, Godzilla immediately hunting him. But now, he absorbed nuclear power plant and the largest stockpile of solar radiation on the Earth before the war. If he won the battle with Shimo in the past, he certainly had no need to do that massive preparation. In fact, Kong found Godzilla was also not very confident in Hollow Earth Battle, though he is much more powerful than ever. Obviously, Godzilla know her power and not sure if he can defeat her.
  2. Shimo wasn't in the first war of Skar King. The film and novel all mentioned that. I don't know why some absurd people still say Godzilla exiled Skar king and She. Skar King controled her after he was trapped in Hollow Earth.
6.It need to be noted, Shimo shouldn't be seen enemies of Godzilla like Ghidorah and MUTOs. Godzilla had no hatred for her either. They both are members of natural balance. After GxK story, Their relationship will become even much better because he and Kong free her and give her a chance to revenge.
So that is. Those two beautiful and interesting Titans have more potential. I really wish they have more interesting stories, and can't wait to see them in the future films! ☢️ ❄️

2024.05.15 18:12 GoblinOfDice I would like some feed back

I have a Magic system based on experimentation using elemental crystals with basic abilities. In this word there are six elements Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Light & Shadow. You can find crystals in the individual elements or in combination, combination crystals are rarer than single and the more elements that are in it the less common they are. For each Single and combination my goal is to have 8 abilities. The goal of this system is to make equipment and enhance individuals by combining different crystals. They also come in 4 lvls of rarity, Common, Uncommon, Rare & Unique, as well as 5 sizes, Dust, Chip, Chunk, Clump & Crystal. They can also be paired with organs from different creatures but that is far beyond where I am now.

2024.05.15 18:05 kon_spi Bermuda dying every summer

Bermuda dying every summer
I would appreciate any help! I have an ugly lawn that I’ve been trying to make pretty for 4-5 years. I’m living in Europe(Greece) and the pros haven’t managed to help at all. I started with wild Bermuda and lots of weeds on 2019 since my neighbour has nice looking Bermuda I though to stick with it and seeded with hybrid Bermuda all went good it didn’t really spread but it greened up a little. Next year I seeded again but didn’t spread once again. Last year everything turned into hay so i thought to start over and looking over to others I noticed a nice St Augustine lawn so I bought a bunch of plugs and plant them at 1 1/2 feet apart diamond shaped. The plugs were terrible but after a very mild winter they had spread one or two stolons each to the point were most of the plugs were touching each other. Today it’s still spreading but the heat Is not here yet. Two weeks ago I noticed that the Bermuda that came back from the dead is going back to the grave and realised that it does that each end of May as well a another part of my yard where I have some kikuyu grass.
Grass: Bermuda - St Augustine Soil: Sandy Water: Well medium salinity high iron I think (same water a the neighbours) Watering: 2 times a weeks 30min Fertiliser: slow release
Thank you

2024.05.15 18:05 -343-Guilty-Spark- Canon Fodder: In-Zane in the Membrane

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-in-zane-in-the-membrane
Header Image [Imgur]
It’s not a Cypress Hill song, it’s a new issue of Canon Fodder!
By now, you’ll no doubt have made headway through the latest Operation in Halo Infinite —titled “Banished Honor”—which was accompanied by a new Waypoint Chronicle based around a simple question: “What would the story of a Spartan who joined the Banished be?”
We had the perfect character lined up to tell that story, one who hasn’t been seen since the end of Hunt the Truth's second season all the way back in 2015.
Welcome back, Ilsa Zane.

THE THIRD LIFE

Our ninth Waypoint Chronicle has arrived, which follows on from the concluding events of Hunt the Truth where a Guardian awakens on the colony world Laika III. Broadly, these events are concurrent with the story that unfolds in Halo 5 as Cortana lays claim to the Mantle, rallies AIs to her cause, and sets about imposing an imperial peace upon the galaxy.
Where Hunt the Truth saw the mantle of narrator pass from journalist Benjamin Giraud to undercover ONI agent Maya “FERO” Sankar in its second season, that torch is once again passed on to a character who made her presence felt in this story... the rogue Spartan known as Ilsa Zane.
Halo: The Third Life is available here on Halo Waypoint, as a free PDF, and in audiobook format on YouTube.
“October 2558. After being taken prisoner by the Banished as chaos erupts across the galaxy, Ilsa Zane’s hunt for the truth leads her to a new stage of life she never expected...”

EMPTY THRONE

Last issue, we gave you a totally legitimate look at the cover art of Halo: Empty Throne. Art is in the eye of the beholder, and unfortunately the powers that be decided that we could do better than a screenshot made in Halo 3's Forge mode in ten minutes with some crudely edited-in elements... it was a close call, really, but we ultimately pivoted towards something with the vibe of it having come from an incredibly talented and brilliant artist—namely, Will Staehle, whose other work you can check out here.
So, here you go. Here’s the official cover art for Halo: Empty Throne, coming later this year.
Pre-order your copy of Halo: Empty Throne here!
Cover art of Halo: Empty Throne illustrated by Will Staehle depicting a young girl and a Spartan emerging from a blue explosion coming from a Forerunner structure
“2559. It has been a year since the rogue artificial intelligence Cortana seized control of the Domain, an otherworldly dimension housing a vast information network. With an array of Forerunner weapons at her disposal, Cortana set out to enforce an authoritarian peace on the civilizations of the galaxy. But as the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity prepares to strike against Cortana at Zeta Halo, another plan has also been set in motion.
An ancient access point hidden on a seemingly insignificant human colony has become the focus of a parallel effort to claim the Domain and its immeasurable capabilities. The UNSC, however, needs a key: a living, forsaken product of an old war. As a new generation of heroes rise to meet this challenge and Cortana's pursuit of control reaches a desperate and sudden crescendo, a cunning, ruthless warrior emerges from the shadows of the Banished, who has vowed to fill the new power vacuum by any means necessary....”

THE BANISHED SPARTAN

ILSA ZANE
Cropped profile image depicting Ilsa Zane surrounded by fire and Banished banners [Imgur]
RANK: Bloodstar BIRTH WORLD: Kholo DATE OF BIRTH: June 11, 2528 APPEARED IN: Halo: Initiation, Hunt the Truth, Halo: The Third Life
Born on the Outer Colony world Kholo, Ilsa Zane was just eleven years old when she lost her parents and everyone she had ever known as the Covenant descended upon her home and reduced its surface to glass. Taken to the remote colony Asphodel as a ward of the state, Zane remained largely silent and solitary until coming of age in 2547, where she was conscripted into UNSC military service.
In 2550, Zane was selected as a candidate for the prototype phase of the SPARTAN-IV program. Though she survived the augmentation process, additional experimental cocktails caused severe neurological damage to Zane. After escaping the facility, she was recovered by Admiral Mattius Drake and integrated into the rebel group known as the New Colonial Alliance.
In the immediate aftermath of the Covenant War, Zane led a group of operatives who attempted to commandeer the UNSC Infinity —securing it as the flagship of the New Colonial Alliance and to prevent the UNSC from deploying it to police independent colonies. This plan was thwarted by Spartan Sarah Palmer, who ejected Zane into space where the rogue Spartan was once more rescued by Drake, who was on standby in a nearby Prowler.
Following this, Zane served as an acquisitions specialist for weapons and materiel, as well as a ruthless instructor for mercenary and rebel groups that joined the New Colonial Alliance, forging them into a veritable fighting force in preparation for a large-scale strike against the UNSC. However, the awakening of the Guardians in 2558 waylaid these plans, leaving Zane as a prisoner of the Banished—with whom she ultimately came to find both common cause and brotherhood.

BANISH THY HONOR

Halo: Tales From Slipspace - Hunting Party
Image [Imgur]
What does it mean to be Banished?
To be Banished is to seek to liberate oneself, to pledge loyalty not to false promises of divine ascension but to the fearsome might and will exemplified by Atriox.
Service is welcome from any species, of any previous affiliation or loyalty—from the lowliest Unggoy thrall to the mightiest Sangheili warrior, and all between and beyond.
Power is its own end. In the wake of the Covenant War, opportunity is rife to carve up the remnants of the fallen empire’s vast resources and obtain technology that furthers the prime directive of the Banished: to never bow again, a “reclamation” all their own of freedom.
Following decades of calamitous conflict that has left even the most capable commanders war-weary, it is the Banished that are energized and fortified in purpose and will. Payment for those who share common cause with Atriox comes in blood and sport and spoils.
But those who would choose this path must unshackle themselves from ties to the past—unbind themselves from old masters, cast off their piety, and banish their sentimental devotion to honor.
Only then can one become a true vessel for victory.
Only then is one truly Banished.

THIEVING MITTENS

Halo: Escalation Issue #3 page depicting a showdown between Spartan Scruggs, who has taken Admiral Hood hostage, and Spartan Palmer, Chieftain Lydus, and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam [Imgur]
Why would a Spartan go rogue?
It’s an apt question. After all, Spartans are meant to represent paragons of humanity in both strength and spirit. But across the generations of Spartans, there have been traitors, rebels, or those who simply wanted to leave the UNSC behind to live on their own terms.
For the Spartan-IIs, these examples came as a result of their training—of recognizing and rebelling against the horrific context of their situation.
In the “Homecoming” episode of Halo Legends, Daisy-023 and several of her fellow candidates sought to escape the program following the augmentation procedures that killed or maimed many of their brothers and sisters, but were ultimately brought back into the fold.
Likewise, in the Halo: Evolutions short story “Pariah,” Soren-066 was left disfigured by the augmentations and was gradually radicalized by a technician named Partch, eventually attempting to escape Reach and join the Insurrection. Indeed, the Spartan who sought to apprehend Soren was Randall-037, who later appeared in Halo: Nightfall where we learned that he had evaded the UNSC after the Battle of Vodin in 2532, even starting a family before ONI eventually caught up to him over a decade later, "reversing" many of his augmentations in exchange for release from UNSC service.
Looking to the Spartan Field Manual, originally released back in 2018, we can gain further insight into the risk of rogue Spartans as it applies to the SPARTAN-IV program:
STOLEN GAUNTLET
Nevertheless, the SPARTAN-IV selection process is not foolproof. Spartan-IVs are soldiers with preexisting philosophies and loyalties, and even the most carefully screened candidate can react to their augmentation and training in unexpected ways. Individual Spartans represent a strategically significant level of combat power and pose a major security threat if their loyalty is compromised.
The STOLEN GAUNTLET fail-safe protocol has been created to provide training and permissive rules of engagement for special agents tasked with tracking down and swiftly neutralizing rogue Spartans.
~ Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual, p. 86
Rogue Spartans
Halo Mythos artwork by Isaac Hannaford depicting Mickey's betrayal of Buck and Romeo in Halo: New Blood [Imgur]
Ilsa Zane represents the earliest example of this manifesting as a critical issue for the Spartan-IV program, and she is far from a singular example.
In Halo: Escalation, we see Spartan Vladimir Scruggs—another New Colonial Alliance defector—attempt to sabotage the peace talks between Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam and Chieftain Lydus.
Another prominent example is Michael Crespo in Halo: New Blood, who became disillusioned with being sent to kill other humans in the wake of the Covenant War and defected to the United Rebel Front with fellow Spartan Rudolf Schein.
Of course, defecting is one thing, but what is it about the Banished that would be attractive to a rogue Spartan? That is something wholly contingent upon the individual, and at present there is a specific example we can examine: Ilsa Zane.
Having been discarded by the UNSC after falling victim to experimental augmentation cocktails that ravaged her body and mind, she was eventually left for dead by Admiral Drake as well—she was herself “banished” from the places she had sought to belong. This, in combination with her proclivity for violence and a ruthless mindset, led her to discover a certain kinship with the Jiralhanae on Laika III, leading her to willingly pledge herself and the New Colonial Alliance to the Banished.
In the words of Spartan Scruggs: "I am a Spartan. But what you fight for isn't always the same as who you fight for."

ARMORY INFINITUM

The Ravager was a new weapon introduced to the sandbox in Halo Infinite, though it made its fictional debut in Halo: Shadows of Reach.
“The cacophony of gunfire was replaced by the sizzle of shock rifles and the thump-hiss of ravagers.”
~ Halo: Shadows of Reach, Chapter 21
Featuring a semi-automatic, three-round burst and a charge ability that can create a burning pool for area-of-effect damage, the Ravager quickly became a favorite tool of Jiralhanae warlords for its capacity to flush out garrisoned infantry.
A unique version of the weapon, the Rebound Ravager, can be found in the possession of Captain Arthoc—a high value target the Master Chief encountered on Zeta Halo. Rounds fired by this weapon have the ability to bounce, to which the words of Agent Washington from Red vs. Blue may come to mind: “It bounces? Who designs a gun that bounces?!”

ARMORY OF RECKONING CAPT ARTHOC FWD: RAVAGER
The Armory of Reckoning—it is a fitting name for the tools of conquest and destruction birthed from its forges.
When we advanced on the human remnants that had sought shelter within their crashed ship, I requested of Commander Bannix an augmented version of the plasma tossers produced by the Forge of Torograd.
Where we have mastered both spike and spear in our weaponry since before the Immolation, infusion matter remains an object of study for our alchemists. I was informed by the Screecleaver that there is a great savant stationed on Oth Liqattu who has sought to unlock further secrets of this fetid power, applying it to our own troops and many of our vehicles.
It is said that prolonged exposure to this corrosive bile can addle the mind and rot the body... that is good, for there are many small spaces in human ships. The capacity for this weapon to launch projectiles that bounce before erupting into toxic piles was of great use in flushing our foes from cover. How they flailed and danced to our battle song!
It is my understanding that pure infusion matter is pumped throughout Forerunner facilities, so we must dedicate resources to finding these wellsprings within the substructures of this ring. I shall bring this to Tremonius once he has returned from investigating a disturbance at his outpost.

MERIDIAN SLOANCOMING

Last month saw the arrival of Halo: Battle Born's rerelease, featuring two new short story “adjuncts” which we took a closer look at in our previous issue.
On April 30, the rerelease of Halo: Meridian Divide hit the shelves and—as folks have noticed—there's another adjunct in this one as well!
MERIDIAN HOMECOMING
Halo 5 screenshot of a Promethean Knight on Meridian [Imgur]
Completing the trifecta of new adjuncts in these rereleases is “Meridian Homecoming,” which is set in the immediate aftermath of Cortana’s final sacrifice on Zeta Halo in December 2559.
With the leader of the Created dead, the future of this fledgling faction has been thrown into doubt. High Auxiliary Sloan has returned to Meridian where he occupies a Promethean Knight’s carapace and wanders the vast glasslands of his home to find his own fate.
Of course, fans who followed the Precipice short story series last year (which accompanied Halo Infinite's recurring FIREWALL events) know that Sloan has emerged as a new leader within the Created and set into motion the creation of the Executors. “Meridian Homecoming” gives us a small moment in time with Sloan as he contemplates what the concept of home means to him, Cortana’s unfulfilled promise of salvation, his regrets over how he departed from Meridian, and the memories held within a Promethean Knight that set him on a new path.

COMMUNITY LORE CORNER

For this month’s Community Lore Corner, we kick things off with GammaCompanyMark who has put together a media order for the Halo series if you really, really want to experience it in some form of “timeline order.”
The fine folks at JumperScape have been adapting some of the lore and stories we’ve put out for Halo Infinite, beginning with the Intel drops we did for Season 2: Lone Wolves. (If you can believe it, it’s just passed the two-year mark for when this season launched!)
We recently discovered Lore VoidCat while checking out the latest Halo lore content on YouTube, and he has put together a fantastic series of videos about various expanded universe aspects—from every blade of the Covenant, to recounting the stories of various games and books, and more. Here’s one of his latest!
Would it be surprising if you learned that Covenant Canon has put out a new video featuring some... you guessed it, Covenant canon? In his latest release, we take a look at every known Arbiter throughout the Halo universe’s history.
Every now and then, the nostalgic longing for those halcyon days of 2007 return, which is exactly what you will feel when watching Meaning In-Between and Frogarchist's exploration of how mystery was a core thematic pillar of Halo 3.
And finally, David and Ian of Podcast Evolved have done a new “book club” episode on one of our previous Waypoint Chronicles: Saturn Devouring His Son.
With that, it’s time to sign off for this month’s issue.
If you haven’t already checked out Halo: The Third Life, be sure to do so—and if you have, well, go and read or listen to it again! Let the gears of speculation turn for what is depicted on the cover art for Halo: Empty Throne (don’t forget to secure your pre-order), and you can get your in-game Ilsa Zane cosplay sorted by completing the Banished Honor Operation Pass!
We depart with our favorite Ilsa Zane comic panel for your entertainment.

2024.05.15 17:58 EffectiveTop91 [DISCUSSION] - Curious for opinions of long time Guitar World subscribers

Hi,
I just recently joined this subreddit. I’ve been playing guitar for 16 years of my life now. I started getting Guitar World back in 2005. Over the years I feel as if the quality of the tabs, articles, gear reviews, and general material in the magazines has rapidly declined. They used to transpose 5 songs a month for readers, now we are lucky to get 3. The magazines has gotten a lot thinner as a result of them covering less about the industry and artists. They used to have awesome articles on gear, musicians, one of my favorites “betcha can’t play this!” And much more. I can remember being excited to get my copy each month and not being able to wait to dive into reading. I’ve not read a single issue over the last 3 years because it’s all just trash. Am I alone on this? Or have other players noticed this as well? I bring this up because I just got a letter in the mail that it’s time to renew my subscription. After some thought I thought it was pretty comical that they approach you like you’re getting a deal and great value when in reality I haven’t gotten one good thing out of their material in years. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Hope everyone is having an a awesome day!

2024.05.15 17:35 Mizuki4life At what age do pro squash players peak? Evidence from the last 25 World Opens.

Only 2 of the top 8 seeds at this year’s World Open are under the age of 30, and the average age of the top 8 seeds is 30.9 (Farag, Coll, Elías, Asal, Gawad, Hesham, Mo El Shorbagy, Momen).
I decided to compile some stats of the top 8 seeds for each of the 25 World Opens in the post Khan era, going back to 1997. In fact, this year’s average age of 30.9 is the second only to 2014 when the average age was 31.0 (Gaultier, Mo El Shorbagy, Matthew, Ashour, Shabana, Golán, Barker, Selby).
The youngest average age was 26.6 in 2002, when all 8 top seeds were under age 30 (Nicol, Power, Palmer, Boswell, White, Lincou, Beng Hee, Beachill).
In fact, the average age of top 8 seeds seems to have increased over the years. In the first half of the sample going back to 1997, the average age of a top 8 seed was 27.7 while in the second half of the sample it was 29.5.
Over the full sample, the average age of a top 8 seeds was 28.6 years, suggesting that squash players peak in their late 20s.
Some other fun facts:
Most top 8 seed appearances: Mo El Shorbagy (15), Matthew (13), Gaultier (12)
Oldest top 8 seed: Matthew (37.4 in 2017)
Second oldest top 8 seed: Matthew (36.3 in 2016)
Third oldest top 8 seed: Momen (36.2 in 2024)
Youngest top 8 seed: Barada (20.5 in 1997)
Second youngest top 8 seed: Asal (21.0 in 2022)
Third youngest top 8 seed: Ashour (21.0 in 2008) (He won it that year!!)

2024.05.15 17:34 Ok_Presentation_9227 Should I switch from Tret to Arazlo or Differin?

Hi there!
Wondering if anyone can offer some advice…
In October of 2021, I saw a dermatologist who prescribed Biacna topical gel clindamycin 1.2% Tretinoin 0.025% and used for 14 weeks+
I got a bit creeped out by the antibiotic, so I switched to Tret cream, used 0.025%, then went up to 0.5%(tried each for 3+months) then began micro gel 0.1 retin A on dec 9th 2023 as I heard the gel was more effective for closed comedones. I have used tret daily, but use it about 3 times a week now. I have experienced purging in the past.
Recently, I saw an facialist who did tons of extractions and told me to switch to a physical exfoliant and to add cumin seed oil (moringa oil) at night. For the past 2 months or so, I have simplified my routine and don’t wear makeup but use an tinted sunscreen and Saie Slip tint.
AM:
Mineral sunscreens (Think Daily, Babo bontanicals, Supergoop)
Saie slip tint
PM:
Oil cleanse with jojoba or almond oil to remove sunscreen
Youth the People Superfood Cleaner
Avene cicalfate
Cumin seed oil (organic, cold pressed)
Tret about 3 times a week
Physical exfoliant 3 times a week
I have tried azelaic acid, BHA, AHA, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Aztec clay, Nizoral, lactic acid, slugging, and still use the De la Cruz sulfur treatment occasionally.
Overall, my skin is still quite congested and I have new pimples forming. I never experienced glass skin or any form of tret glow. I am wondering if I should try switching to Arazlo Cream 0.045% or Differin gel (0.3 or 0.1)
Thanks in advance!!!!

Pretty hilarious that even with no human input we get the UT A&M regional still hahahahaha. Obviously, this doesn't account for conference winners this is just 1-64 with the reverse orders for 17-64 by seed bucket (UCF is the 32nd ranked team, not the 17th ranked team, 17th ranked is Wake Forest).

2024.05.15 17:29 southerncharm05 What else can I do to increase my supply?

Hi mamas - I’m currently 11wpp, and my son consumes about 26-28oz a day. But I’m getting about 20-22oz a day through my pumps. I’ve read that your supply starts stabilizing around 12 weeks, so I’m trying to make sure I’m doing everything I can to bring mine up before I just accept that my supply is what it is. Here’s all that I’m doing:
I have PCOS and anemia, so I’m taking metformin and iron daily.
Is there anything else I can do in my scenario? I tried moringa drumsticks but not consistently; considering adding moringa powder or the drumsticks back in. Is it worth investing in pumpables or pumpin pal flanges? I have elastic nipples
Appreciate any and all advice. I’m getting close to accepting this is just what my supply will be, but want to make sure I’ve left no stone unturned before I do so. Thank you!!

2024.05.15 17:08 SantaCat10 Help interpreting bloodwork.

Help interpreting bloodwork.
M20, 6ft 2", 185 lbs
Hey, I just got my bloodwork back and I am really confused about the values as well as what I should do now. Some backstory, I live a very healthy lifestyle, especially for my age. I dont drink, I dont smoke, no drugs, I sleep 8-9 hours a day everyday, I get 20-30 minutes of direct sunlight every day, I workout heavy 5 times a week, I am not overweight, I take magnesium and zinc everyday, have regular sex. An average day in terms of my diet is: - Breakfast : Protein oats with coffee.
  • Lunch : Ground beef with rice, mushrooms and some greens. + A glass of milk
  • Snack : A smoothie consisting of berries, oats, yoghurt, chia seeds, olive oil, milk and some whey.
  • Dinner : Varies but it usually chicken or beef with either rice or pasta.
  • Bed snack : 3 eggs.
Total is usually around 3250 calories.
So back to my bloodwork. I used to go to the doctor for a year desperately trying to find out what was wrong with me but I never managed to figure it out. The only thing we found was that I had some allergies thats it. However I did test my testosterone back then which came back at 290 ng/dl and then 230 ng/dl. The doctors told me the values were within range and that I was healthy. I hesitantly believed them since I thought I had messed up the test somehow since I didnt fast and did the test at 10 30 instead of 8 am.
Recently since I still have my symptoms I decided to test everything again to see if it had improved. I made sure to do everything correctly, I slept well and did the test 8 am fasted.
These are my results:
https://preview.redd.it/6p179i6ptl0d1.png?width=1338&format=png&auto=webp&s=36ff6f4fa977bd97a990170d488665d1142a6118
282 ng/dl testosterone, still just as bad. These are literally my peeked test levels, I try to do everything I should.
My symptoms:
  • Havent had morning wood for a year +
  • I dont really enjoy sex that much, I still have a sex drive but the action is not very enjoyable, I dont have ED
  • Constant brain fog, trouble concentrating, zoning out in conversations
  • Trouble making progress in gym, I still make some progress but I am far behind all of my friends. I have lifted for 3 years, I took a 95 kg bench pr last year and couldnt match it until yesterday. I have been stuck at 95kg bench for a year straight -.-.
  • Very low motivation and drive to do things.
  • Low energy, have a really hard time going to places.
  • I dont know if Im overthinking but I feel like im not as developed as my friends, I still have a slight babyface and can only grow some facial hair around my mouth.
  • Gynecomastia.
I want to try to contact the doctors again but I know they wont help me unless I'm literally dying. Any help would be appreciated.

2024.05.15 16:39 JzaDragon X-Men's Blob (20 Totem Barbarian)

A build for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons
Fred Dukes, a.k.a. The Blob, is grotesquely obese and unusually tall. He started notoriety as a circus freak and strongman, demonstrating his amazing ability to remain unmovable no matter what tried to push him. Both Xavier and Magneto observed that this was his mutant power and tried inviting him in, but Blob's outlook as a bully and an opportunist guided him straight to villainy among the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Aside from his immense strength, his mutant gift is to create a super-dense personal center of gravity, rendering him impossible to move from his concentrated spot by anything other than the mightiest feats and characters in Marvel Comics history. Colossus is unable to make him budge, but he has lifted up the ground Blob was standing on, a loophole to his immovability power. He is also superhumanly tough; his thick, blubbery hide ignores damage from gunfire and even Wolverine's claws, though he has no special protection against attacks on his mind or senses.
Blob:

Magic Items Wishlist:
Tactics:
The Athlete feat enables Blob to make a running high jump with only 5’ movement, short enough to not leave the reach of his opponent and incur OA. A running high jump equals 3+strength mod of feet vertically; at level 4 he has 18 strength, so a strength mod of +4. Tiger totem provides another 3 feet while raging, getting his running high jump to 10 feet, so starting at level 4 he is able to leap up and fall back into a medium creature’s space.
Tasha’s provides us with rules on landing on another creature. When falling into a creature’s space, they have to make a dc 15 dex save or split any fall damage and you both fall prone. Barb rage resists fall damage and Athlete allows you to stand from prone with just 5’ movement, so you easily handle both effects, but your opponents won’t be so lucky.
Using just your movement speed, you can land in the borders overlapping the grid squares on a battlemap to potentially prone more than one creature; you’re the height and width of a loxodon, so even though your size category is medium, you can belly flop parallel to the earth to cover a lot more area. Anywhere between one and four enemies can fall prone beneath you and all it took was 20’ movement, with your actions and bonus action all still available.
From there you can easily grapple your proned targets to keep them stuck under your girth or unarmed strike them with advantage without needing to use Reckless. For fun, I advise flavoring the total unarmed damage as a part of the huge belly slam’s impact; unarmed strikes need not be with just your hands after all.
With Magneto on your side, he can use graviturgy magic to double your weight and use his reaction to increase your fall damage by 2d10 to better share it to those you land on.

2024.05.15 16:31 okiepokey7 Personal best - we’re getting closer.

Personal best - we’re getting closer.
Had a top 5 day of my life yesterday. Golf or no golf. I’m a 7hcp and consistently shoot low 80s with a nice 78-79 every now and then. Yesterday we teed off at 5pm. I hit 3 balls on the range before the group was hurrying me to the tee. I drive first for some reason and as im dicking around, talking in my own backswing, send a seed down the middle. Proceed to take a 9i into the green and nail the bird putt. From there i started thinking “what if”. I’ve never felt that good on a golf course. Everything was clicking and i was confident standing over every ball. All that to say, I shot my personal best +2 for a 72.
