Reply to comment by 4192gym in LPT: Do not have the mindset the you are going to "save money" by quitting alcohol AND getting healthy. by [deleted]
I’ve been a bodybuilder and CrossFitter throughout my life and have literally NEVER taken creatine or anything more than a magnesium supplement ($9 for a 3-month supply) and fish oil (comparably as inexpensive). I rarely use protein powder.
They can help. But they aren’t NECESSARY to living a healthy life and being physically more fit.

TRUE! If you’re already quite athletic then doing kegels can actually cause a UTI - it happened to me.

No such thing as a free VPN. You just pay with your data.

I’ve heard from Park Rangers while hiking that music or other deterrents like bear bells are heavily discouraged because it’s more likely that the bear will be curious of the noise and seek it out rather than avoid it.

There is nothing you can do besides eating a healthy diet to give yourself the best shot of growing if you have another growth spurt coming (no guarantees one will come).

My husband is 5’7 and sexy as hell. Dating is a shit show and there’s definitely a bias Re: men/height and women/weight.
Just remember that you are not for everyone and everyone is not for you. And that’s ok bc you really only need to meet that one person who you vibe and connect with.
Don’t let the size queens get you down. Someone that shallow isn’t worth your time anyways

But if your muscles are too tight it can be damaging to do those exercises-a Pelvic Floor therapist told me that.

Reply to LPT Request: What is the pro tip that helped you to keep yourself extremely focused and disciplined towards your short and long term goals , instead of getting distracted from it? by permission777
So I grew up below the poverty line. I am a first generation American and saw my parents struggle. My dad was a contractor (handyman type) and he does some back breaking work. I started working with him on weekends when I was about 11.
Long story short, I appreciated what my dad does but did not want live like he did (paycheck to paycheck, always in some physical pain) so I decided to pursue a career in STEM. There were a lot of times I wanted to quit and drop out but every time I did there would be an odd-job my dad had for me to do that reminded me why I was doing everything I was doing. I'm now in my 30s and he's in his 60s and still working as a contractor. To this day I will still do an odd-job with him from time to time to remind myself of why I keep going down the path I'm going.
I currently work as an engineer and I'm pursuing a PhD. This is how I stay motivated.

Dude you will end up whatever height you are. There is nothing wrong or right with that, it's just you bro.

If you’re mouth is on fire and you want to get a glass of milk to stop it, a little vinegar of some kind helps to break down the oils in the sauce

Reply to LPT: to ensure you get up early and don't go back to bed, put your phone/alarm clock into a bag/backpack/a big decorative Christmas sock along with the mementoes that remind you what keeps you going and why. Put the bag/backpack/sock as far away from your bed as possible. by glas_s_cutter

As someone who isn’t tall thanks for saying that but when half the dating profiles I see these days have girls saying must be 6’ or taller it’s super discouraging for us.

Get a good nights sleep every night. You grow the most while you’re sleeping. Diet is also important to make sure you have everything the body needs to grow.
But…….at the end of the day it’s really coming down to genetics. If both your parents are around 5’5 then you’re probably going to not grow much more unless you’ve got someone much taller on either side of the family.

I would assume that the AAO is aware of such things. I am not a doctor of any kind so I am not a good person to get information from.

Does it actually connect to a server somewhere or is it one of those "software" VPNs that does nothing to hide your external traffic? And if it does connect to a server somewhere how do you know the traffic still isn't being logged?
