Neuropsychology is both an experimental and clinical branch of psychology that aims to understand how cognitive functions (memory, attention, etc.) and behavior are related to brain structure and functioning. Although the focus is typically on how injuries or illnesses of the brain (i.e., pathological functions) affect cognition and behavior, it also includes the study normal (i.e., non-pathological) functioning, cognition, and behavior.

2024.06.01 13:25 Informal_Patience821 Refuting the: "Addressing the false claims of Dr. Exion ps 2" Response to second post
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Peace be to you all.
Let's proceed to refute the second part of his "rebuttal," providing a brief yet precise rebuttal that will further expose his ignorance in the Hebrew language, and his knowledge of the Bible as well.
He writes:
He writes:
Regarding the "The prophecy describes a sequence of events" thing he pointed out, I had already revised each verse from part 1 in part 2, and it now makes perfect sense. He should read part 2.
He writes:
"This 'rising' could either be in support of Persia or in opposition to it. Remarkably, this aligns perfectly with the historical narrative of Islam, and here's why:..."
In other words, both interpretations align perfectly with the historical narrative of Islam. I believe he misunderstood that part; regardless, let's move on.
Daniel 11:30:
The chapter is about a prophet who brought a Holy Covenant from God, which is why it is literally called "Holy."
Definition of "Holy":
He writes:
Regarding: Conjunctive וּ: It is agreed that the וּ functions as a conjunctive "and" or "but," connecting phrases. This conjunction alone does not necessarily indicate a temporal clause.
Not a Vav Relative: Correct, this is not a vav relative case.
Preposition כְ: The preposition כְ does mean "like" or "as." While it can form a temporal clause in combination with an infinitive construct, this temporal interpretation must be contextually supported rather than assumed.
Verb עָמַד and Possessive Suffix וֹ: Correct, the verb עָמַד means "to stand" or "to arise," and the suffix וֹ indicates possession, translating to "his."
Infinitive Construct: Agreed, the form is an infinitive construct.
Temporal Clause Interpretation: While כְ combined with an infinitive construct can imply a temporal clause, translating it as "as soon as" is an interpretative choice. A more literal translation is "when he stood" or "as he stood," and any temporal implication would be derived from what you believe is the context.
Possessive Suffix: Agreed, the suffix וֹ indicates "he" or "his."
Your interpretation that it is saying "as soon as he has risen" adds a temporal nuance that is contextually based rather than explicitly stated in the preposition and verb form. My translation aims for a more direct rendering of "when he stood" or "as he stood," which also respects the grammatical structure without adding interpretative elements not present in the original text.
Let's move on.
He writes:
The phrase is: "על־ברית־קודש"
Breakdown:
He writes:
The 4th verse says:
"...but not to his posterity, and not like the dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom will be uprooted and to others besides those."
The posterity refers to the Rashidun Caliphs, while "to others besides those" refers to Mu'awiyah and those who followed him. Do you know what "posterity" even means? Posterity literally means future followers or descendants. Lol. The mighty king is the one with the followers, which is why he is the one who brought the Holy Covenant from God, not the four other kings. Had you known what posterity means, you would never have written this in the first place, but we will look past this mistake. Now you know a new word and won't repeat this mistake again. Let's move on.
Regarding "The king of the south is prophet Muhammad" I had revisited this verse in part 2.
He writes:
I don't know if you know this, but stem and branch are synonymous words, they essentially mean the same thing. And lowest part, bottom could also mean stem. Dictionaries define both words similarly:
Either way, let's pretend you're right (even though you're not) it still doesn't matter because a branch out of her roots did sprout, which came to be a sect called Khawarij. This was explained in part two. The ones that assassinated 'Ali were initially Shiites that later turned against 'Ali and assassinated him. It's interesting how Pulpit commentary writes:

This marks the end of his part 2 post.

Peace be to you all.
Let's proceed to refute the second part of his "rebuttal," providing a brief yet precise rebuttal that will further expose his ignorance in the Hebrew language, and his knowledge of the Bible as well.
He writes:
The prophecy so closely matches those events that even scecular scholars agree which is the primary reason secular scholars date Daniel to just after these events. Their idea is the book is actually recording history but pretending to present prophecy.But it doesn’t. Not even close. The chapter is about a prophet/messenger of God who brought a Holy Covenant. His successors fell into dispute over who was the rightful heir to his kingdom. The rightful successors were supposed to be his descendants (his followers), but that turned out not to be the case according to what verse 4 states. This is strikingly similar to how Islamic history played out.
He writes:
I'm not sure where Exion found this translation.I found it here: biblehub - Pulpit's commentary. Literally a direct copy and paste. Not sure how he missed it.
Regarding the "The prophecy describes a sequence of events" thing he pointed out, I had already revised each verse from part 1 in part 2, and it now makes perfect sense. He should read part 2.
He writes:
A few things here. The verb is עמדים. The same verb is used in verse 3 and again in verse 4. Both cases it's referring to a king rising to power rather than rising against someone/somthing else. That context suggests the same meaning for the kings in verse 2. We also see verse 2 describing a king being against a nation when it says "he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece." This is a different verb and preposition.Yes, I agree. 'Umar was the first king to rise in Persia when he fought the Persians and won. 'Uthman and 'Ali were the second and third kings, and Mu'awiyah was the fourth, the wealthy king. I'm not sure what he thinks he is refuting here because I literally wrote:
"This 'rising' could either be in support of Persia or in opposition to it. Remarkably, this aligns perfectly with the historical narrative of Islam, and here's why:..."
In other words, both interpretations align perfectly with the historical narrative of Islam. I believe he misunderstood that part; regardless, let's move on.
The Hebrew word is גִּבּוֹר which means strong/mighty not righteousYou also missed the part where I said that this would be made clear later in the chapter, specifically here:
Daniel 11:30:
- "...and he will be crushed, and he will return and be wroth with the holy covenant, and he will succeed, and he will return and contemplate those who abandoned the holy covenant."
The chapter is about a prophet who brought a Holy Covenant from God, which is why it is literally called "Holy."
Definition of "Holy":
holy / ˈhəʊli / adjectiveThe Bible is considered to be the Words of God (or inspired Words of God), and these Words literally call this Covenant "Holy." Meanwhile, you are deviating from this description by portraying an erroneous picture of a bunch of atheist ancient kings fighting each other over various kingdoms.
1.dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred."the Holy Bible" Similar: sacred, consecrated, hallowed, sanctified, venerated, revered. (Source: Google)
He writes:
The specific word is וּכְעָמְדוֹ. The וּ is the conjunctive. It's not a vav relative in this case since the verb tense isn't the perfect or imperfect The כְ is a Hebrew proposition added to the verb. The verb is עָמְד and the וֹ is a possesive suffix. The verb form is the infinitive construct. When that verb form is combined with the preposition כְ it indicates a temporal clause which is where the "as soon as" comes from. The possesive suffix indicates the subject of the verb which is where the "he" comes from. Combined with the verb we get as soon as he has risen. Exion's translation ignores the preposition and possesive suffix on the verb.I will respond to each claim by giving it a short name and my rebuttal next to it:
Regarding: Conjunctive וּ: It is agreed that the וּ functions as a conjunctive "and" or "but," connecting phrases. This conjunction alone does not necessarily indicate a temporal clause.
Not a Vav Relative: Correct, this is not a vav relative case.
Preposition כְ: The preposition כְ does mean "like" or "as." While it can form a temporal clause in combination with an infinitive construct, this temporal interpretation must be contextually supported rather than assumed.
Verb עָמַד and Possessive Suffix וֹ: Correct, the verb עָמַד means "to stand" or "to arise," and the suffix וֹ indicates possession, translating to "his."

My translation aims for a more direct rendering of "when he stood" or "as he stood," which also respects the grammatical structure without adding interpretative elements not present in the original text.
Let's move on.
He writes:
It can also refer to the 4 generals after Alexander the Great. He came after the Persian kings, conqured all of Greece, had a mighty dominion, shortly after he conqured Greece he died, and his kingdom was divided among his 4 generals none of which were his decendents.No, it can't, because this is about a Holy Covenant. I genuinely hope you can understand this because I know you tend to repeat the same misunderstandings and rarely admit when you are wrong. However, this is explicitly clear:
The phrase is: "על־ברית־קודש"
Breakdown:
- Word: על־ (ʿal)
- Preposition
- Meaning: "upon," "on," "over," "concerning"
- Word: ברית־ (b'rith)
- Noun - feminine singular construct
- Meaning: "covenant," "treaty," "alliance"
- Word: קודש (qodesh)
- Noun - masculine singular
- Meaning: "holiness," "sanctity," "sacredness"
Literal Translation:
- "Upon the covenant of holiness"
He writes:
That fits better than Exion's interpretation for a few reasons. First this king came after the 4 mentioned in verse 2. If those in verse 2 are the Caliphs this king can't be Mohammed who was before the Caliphs.What makes you think that the mighty king came after the 4 kings? The 3rd verse only said:
"And a mighty king will arise and will rule a great dominion and do according to his will."Are you claiming that this must be in chronological order just because the four kings were mentioned before the mighty king? If so, this is the first time I've heard such a claim. Please provide your proof for this supposed Biblical rule; I'd like to read it :). You won't provide any because none exist. But claiming that it does gives you something to "expose," so I understand your motive. However, in the real world, you're just making statements that aren't true.
The 4th verse says:
"...but not to his posterity, and not like the dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom will be uprooted and to others besides those."
The posterity refers to the Rashidun Caliphs, while "to others besides those" refers to Mu'awiyah and those who followed him. Do you know what "posterity" even means? Posterity literally means future followers or descendants. Lol. The mighty king is the one with the followers, which is why he is the one who brought the Holy Covenant from God, not the four other kings. Had you known what posterity means, you would never have written this in the first place, but we will look past this mistake. Now you know a new word and won't repeat this mistake again. Let's move on.
Regarding "The king of the south is prophet Muhammad" I had revisited this verse in part 2.
He writes:
This is false. The source Exion links doesn't give any English meaning. The BDB does give the English meaning. For the former it means sprout/branch, the latter means root.
Noun נֵצֶר (nétser) m (plural indefinite נְצָרִים, singular construct נֵצֶר־, plural construct נִצְרֵי־) [pattern: קֵטֶל]

I don't know if you know this, but stem and branch are synonymous words, they essentially mean the same thing. And lowest part, bottom could also mean stem. Dictionaries define both words similarly:
Word: שֹׁרֶשׁ, שׁוֹרֶשׁ (m.) (b. h.; apocope of שרשרSource: מקור: Jastrow Dictionary

Either way, let's pretend you're right (even though you're not) it still doesn't matter because a branch out of her roots did sprout, which came to be a sect called Khawarij. This was explained in part two. The ones that assassinated 'Ali were initially Shiites that later turned against 'Ali and assassinated him. It's interesting how Pulpit commentary writes:
"The version of the LXX. is very different here also, "And a plant shall arise out of his root against himself,"He writes:
Edit: I just noticed another problem with Exion’s interpretation. They take Ali as both the commander mentioned in verse 5 who is one of commanders of the king of the south, and also as the king of the north mentioned in verse 6. That can’t be since the commander isn’t also the king of the north.Revised in part 2 already.
He writes:
They show rather than trying to first establish the historical facts and show it lines up with the prophecy they are willing to misrepresent the historical facts to fit their interpretation of the prophecy and as their interpretation of the prophecy changes their claims about the historical facts change to match their new interpretation.This is just your faulty conclusion and presumption. I speculated that they might have lied about 'Aishah being his wife. However, I'm not satisfied with speculations, so I revised the entire post of part 1, and it turned out to be even more accurate.
This marks the end of his part 2 post.
Thanks for reading, /Your bro, Exion
2024.06.01 12:54 madssaysugh Where all of the “good” nannies have gone. My Roman Empire.
TLDR: Nannying is a very hard job. There would probably be a lot more nannies who work as hard as one needs to do this job well if the pay matched the value and difficulty of the work.
I’ve been pretty active in this sub lately because I’ve been feeling unhappy at my job and it helps to have a community. I wrote this a while ago and have been nervous to post it but I think it’s important. I saw a post in nannyemployers asking where all of the “good” nannies have gone and this was the response I was writing until I realised the replies were to be from NP only.. I would post in the nanny employers sub if I weren’t terrified of the response. I know I’m singing to the choir here and I know saying it out loud doesn’t change much. But I am so, so angry, so imma just send it.
As a nanny who has two college degrees, practices Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE, and as someone who has always loved and wanted to work with kids, there simply is not enough money in this career path to stick to it. I personally simply cannot rationalise doing the amount of physical and emotional work that is required for me to do this job as well as I want to for the typical pay, even though I absolutely love it.
For my background, experience, and approach, I am in a severely underpaid position (even when disregarding my qualifications it would still be severely underpaid.) Because of my personal and financial situation at the time of my job search, I did not have the luxury to wait for a unicorn family to offer me the salary I was looking for. I found a family that was a good fit and accepted the position even though I felt it was very much underpaid. I am now in a position where I am continuously battling wanting to work as hard as I can for these kids and this family, and realising I can’t break my back for them while being this underpaid (I mean I literally threw my back out during this job). I’m not someone who breaks a commitment easily but I guess I could move from family to family, waiting to find one who is able to financially respect the value of this work, or I could stick it out and get $2/hr raises every year, but I can’t wait 10 years to finally get close to being paid what I know a proper nanny is worth. Yes there certainly are some nanny employers who properly respect this work and are able to financially meet it’s value, but in my experience they are few and far between. I have found that the overwhelming majority of nannies are severely underpaid and overworked.
Nannies are asked to have flexible schedules, work long hours, take on a laundry list of responsibilities, develop personal emotional relationships with children that aren’t theirs while keeping a professional distance, pay for and organise their own continued training, be emotionally and socially engaged with children all day long, and more. But above all, the most important aspect of nannying is managing our stress is such a way that allows us to stay in an executive state of functioning all day every single day. People deeply underestimate and undervalue the amount of hard and constant work it takes to keep oneself in an executive state of functioning day in and day out, especially in a high stress position where you are helping other people regulate their bodies all day on top of yours, AND are constantly sick and tired and being pushed and tested. I think that this ability is what makes the difference in a “good” nanny and is often the most overlooked, misunderstood, and undervalued aspect of the job responsibilities.
I want to be a good nanny, it’s my dream job to be the best nanny there is, and I used to think that I could accept being in an undervalued role because “it takes a village” and I wanted to do my part and this was my passion. But it doesn’t feel good to be undervalued financially and socially, in fact it feels really really bad, and this is why I will no longer be pursuing a career as a nanny. Even if I found my unicorn position, it wouldn’t change the fact that the overwhelming majority of my nanny peers are still underpaid and undervalued, and that doesn’t feel good. It makes me want to leave, and I think all of the other underpaid nannies should leave too. (We need a union or something, is this a thing?)
The market is oversaturated and undervalued. Not everyone needs a nanny now that quarantine is over (a full-time nanny, not babysitter or after school care). I have both worked at a preschool and as a nanny and I have found that a setting with multiple children of similar age is far better developmentally for a child than spending most of their time with a single adult and a sibling or two, even for young babies. I think a healthy mix of a daycare setting and family time at home is probably best but can be the most difficult to achieve with the current work culture. This is no one’s fault, the overworking culture is a burden of late stage capitalism that we all face. However, it is the burden of the parents to solve their work/life balance. This is a very big part of what one signs up for when becoming a parent. It is not the burden of the nanny to work more for less or the children to miss being with their parents (I’d say two doctor NP are pretty much the only ones who’d get a pass here).
It’s no one person’s fault that nannies are financially undervalued, the value of personal childcare and domestic work has a long saturated history fraught with misogyny and racism. Have you compared the average wage of a plumber (male dominated domestic work) to that of a nanny (female dominated domestic work)? And don’t tell me plumbing requires more training or is harder than nannying, I assure you they are of comparable difficulty especially considering there’s no step by step instructions on YouTube for nannying. (And if you do consider plumbing to be that much hard than nannying, what do you think gives you that perception? I mean as a parent, one should know that nannying absolutely is not just playing with kids all day, even if that’s all you ask your nanny to do. What subconscious bias could be giving you the perception that bringing up children is less difficult and of less value than screwing pipes together? Have you taken a race or gender studies class? Have you seen The Help? Don’t answer, just think.)
Plumbers make average $28/hr in the states, mechanics $26, for nannies it’s $20 (and that’s being generous). That’s a ¢70 on the dollar comparison. It is time we all realise that nannying is an underpaid and undervalued role and work to change that. If the wage being offered across the board better matched the value of the work, I think one would find a lot more serious nannies and a lot more current nannies taking the job more seriously.
I didn’t get it at first, why so many nannies at the park seemed so burnt out and disinterested in the kids. Oh boy do I get it now. I want nothing more than to do my best in this role, but in the past few months after nearly being stiffed by NP, not receiving a bonus from them when I really thought I would, and overall realising I am being taken advantage of and am a human mine to them, I have realised that I can no longer put my all into this job for my own health and sanity. Being properly compensated is the primary motivating aspect of all work especially in the society we are a part of. After loosing my sense of respect from NP, I’ve lost most of the non-financial motivation I started out with and am left with what little motivation my petite pay check gives me, and the kids can tell.
Since my fallout with NP, I have pulled back emotionally from the kids. I’m not mean and I am still doing every responsibility in my contract to the letter (and then some still), but I am no longer as emotionally available to them as I was. I am shorter and more curt with them, I don’t take as much time with them to sit and talk about every feeling they have, and I’m not working as hard to help them break the bad habits NP give them that NP specifically ask me to break (one example - NP want NK to walk everywhere with me but then always use the stroller with NP and every time we go out it’s a fight to use the stroller or not. Guess who’s been using the stroller far more often lately). Anyway, the past week my NK 3f has been quietly crying before her nap and I’m sure it’s because she’s felt me pull away from her. It’s breaking my heart and I’ve been trying to give her extra cuddles, but I have to protect myself first now. This is a job and these aren’t my kids and I can no longer rationalise putting them first emotionally especially considering I am burnt TF out, torn down, and left feeling used up and tossed aside without any recognition or proper thanks from NP.
I don’t know what the perfect number is, the number I would say many NP would probably think is too high, and maybe they’re not looking for a nanny who works as hard as I and others do. But I can tell you that $17/hr before taxes in a VHCOL area does not even come close to close. I think we can all easily recognise that the financial value of this job needs to better match the value of the work, in general and across the board. We’re talking about the people caring for and raising the future generations here, I mean how is this not the most coveted role in our society?
This is my Roman Empire and I will die on this hill every. single. time.

I think a healthy mix of a daycare setting and family time at home is probably best but can be the most difficult to achieve with the current work culture. This is no one’s fault, the overworking culture is a burden of late stage capitalism that we all face. However, it is the burden of the parents to solve their work/life balance. This is a very big part of what one signs up for when becoming a parent. It is not the burden of the nanny to work more for less or the children to miss being with their parents (I’d say two doctor NP are pretty much the only ones who’d get a pass here).
It’s no one person’s fault that nannies are financially undervalued, the value of personal childcare and domestic work has a long saturated history fraught with misogyny and racism. Have you compared the average wage of a plumber (male dominated domestic work) to that of a nanny (female dominated domestic work)? And don’t tell me plumbing requires more training or is harder than nannying, I assure you they are of comparable difficulty especially considering there’s no step by step instructions on YouTube for nannying. (And if you do consider plumbing to be that much hard than nannying, what do you think gives you that perception? I mean as a parent, one should know that nannying absolutely is not just playing with kids all day, even if that’s all you ask your nanny to do. What subconscious bias could be giving you the perception that bringing up children is less difficult and of less value than screwing pipes together? Have you taken a race or gender studies class? Have you seen The Help? Don’t answer, just think.)
Plumbers make average $28/hr in the states, mechanics $26, for nannies it’s $20 (and that’s being generous). That’s a ¢70 on the dollar comparison. It is time we all realise that nannying is an underpaid and undervalued role and work to change that. If the wage being offered across the board better matched the value of the work, I think one would find a lot more serious nannies and a lot more current nannies taking the job more seriously.
I didn’t get it at first, why so many nannies at the park seemed so burnt out and disinterested in the kids. Oh boy do I get it now. I want nothing more than to do my best in this role, but in the past few months after nearly being stiffed by NP, not receiving a bonus from them when I really thought I would, and overall realising I am being taken advantage of and am a human mine to them, I have realised that I can no longer put my all into this job for my own health and sanity. Being properly compensated is the primary motivating aspect of all work especially in the society we are a part of. After loosing my sense of respect from NP, I’ve lost most of the non-financial motivation I started out with and am left with what little motivation my petite pay check gives me, and the kids can tell.
Since my fallout with NP, I have pulled back emotionally from the kids. I’m not mean and I am still doing every responsibility in my contract to the letter (and then some still), but I am no longer as emotionally available to them as I was. I am shorter and more curt with them, I don’t take as much time with them to sit and talk about every feeling they have, and I’m not working as hard to help them break the bad habits NP give them that NP specifically ask me to break (one example - NP want NK to walk everywhere with me but then always use the stroller with NP and every time we go out it’s a fight to use the stroller or not. Guess who’s been using the stroller far more often lately). Anyway, the past week my NK 3f has been quietly crying before her nap and I’m sure it’s because she’s felt me pull away from her. It’s breaking my heart and I’ve been trying to give her extra cuddles, but I have to protect myself first now. This is a job and these aren’t my kids and I can no longer rationalise putting them first emotionally especially considering I am burnt TF out, torn down, and left feeling used up and tossed aside without any recognition or proper thanks from NP.
I don’t know what the perfect number is, the number I would say many NP would probably think is too high, and maybe they’re not looking for a nanny who works as hard as I and others do. But I can tell you that $17/hr before taxes in a VHCOL area does not even come close to close. I think we can all easily recognise that the financial value of this job needs to better match the value of the work, in general and across the board. We’re talking about the people caring for and raising the future generations here, I mean how is this not the most coveted role in our society?
This is my Roman Empire and I will die on this hill every. single. time.

I recently stumbled upon the enchanting world of the Nightingale and thought I’d share a short story about this fascinating bird with you all. It's a tale of beauty, resilience, and the magic of nature's music.
The Star: The Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos)
The Nightingale is a small, unassuming brown bird that’s often overlooked during the day. But as dusk falls, it transforms into a maestro, filling the night air with its melodious and complex song. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, the Nightingale has captivated humans for centuries with its nighttime serenades.The Song: A Symphony in the Dark
Unlike most birds, the Nightingale sings both day and night, with its nocturnal performance being particularly captivating. The male Nightingale sings to attract a mate and to defend its territory. Its song is a rich tapestry of whistles, trills, and gurgles, capable of carrying over long distances and cutting through the stillness of the night.The Technique: A Master Vocalist
What makes the Nightingale’s song so special is its complexity and variety. Each male can have a repertoire of over 200 different phrases. They often repeat phrases and improvise, much like a jazz musician, creating unique compositions that can last for several minutes without repetition.The Purpose: Beyond Romance
While the primary purpose of the Nightingale’s song is to attract a mate, it serves other functions as well. The powerful and varied song is a deterrent to rivals, signaling a strong, healthy, and territorially dominant male. It's a clear message to other males: this territory is taken.The Journey: Migratory Marvel
Nightingales are migratory birds, traveling from their breeding grounds in Europe to wintering sites in sub-Saharan Africa. This journey is fraught with challenges, including habitat loss, climate change, and the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite these obstacles, the Nightingale’s song continues to herald its arrival each spring.The Conservation: A Call to Action
Sadly, Nightingale populations are declining due to habitat loss and changes in agricultural practices. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect the woodlands and thickets that these birds rely on for breeding and foraging. By preserving these habitats, we ensure that the night continues to be filled with their beautiful music.The Experience: A Magical Encounter
Hearing a Nightingale sing is an unforgettable experience. It’s not just the beauty of the song but the context—standing in the quiet of the night, enveloped in a natural symphony that has inspired poets and musicians for centuries. If you ever get the chance to hear a Nightingale, take a moment to stop and listen. It's nature’s concert at its finest.Conclusion: The Silent Guardian of the Night
The Nightingale reminds us of the wonders that lie hidden in the natural world, waiting to be discovered by those who take the time to listen. Its song is a testament to the beauty and resilience of wildlife, a nightly reminder of the magic that surrounds us.Stay curious and happy birding!

Key Exchange and Authentication
NordVPN.com uses the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm to establish a shared secret key between the user's device and the VPN server. This algorithm ensures that the shared secret key is not compromised during transmission.

Additional Security Measures
In addition to the encryption methods and protocols mentioned above, NordVPN.com employs several additional security measures to ensure the security and integrity of user data. These measures include:

The holster also had a slightly stiffer leather feel compared to others, but this didn't significantly hamper its usability. Overall, the Urban Carry LockLeather OWB Single Magazine Holster Ambidextrous Black has been a reliable choice for my every day carry system. Its sleek design, comfortable fit, and ambidextrous features make it a standout choice for those seeking a reliable and versatile magazine holster. 🔗Vintage 1916 Officer's Leather Holster Set and Magazine Pouchhttps://preview.redd.it/fqc7da15qx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfaec83cd742487b20cd3e271df6be4ab05b9372 As a leather enthusiast, I was thrilled to try out this set of World War era leather accessories.

This one-piece magwell is crafted from solid billet and CNC-Machined, making it durable and robust. Its stainless steel finish adds a touch of class to any 1911 pistol. What I really love about this magwell is its large internal opening. It ensures a smooth reloading process, making it perfect for competition or carry.

The variety of grip shapes available, along with precisely machined checkering, allows for a perfect match with your pistol. It's also compatible with most fine custom handguns. The flat mainspring model drops into most guns, while round butt models need frame contouring.

It's definitely a worthwhile investment for those looking to improve their pistol's performance. 🔗Enhanced Magwell for Glock 19/23 Pistolshttps://preview.redd.it/ysfah8vopx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfd124b1d4d21b66219afadade92b815e125ef28 Recently I added the Reptilia Black Hole Poly Magwell to my trusty GLOCK - a game-changer for my reloading skills.

I love the flared, slightly wider design which aids in a smoother, faster magazine insertion. The lightweight aluminum construction feels sturdy and reliable, yet doesn't add any bulk to the Glock's balance. Installation was straightforward, even for a gun novice like me. The lack of set screws for a flush fit on the backstrap is a minor drawback, but it's not a deal-breaker. The improved reload speed and additional comfort it provides make it worth the small inconvenience. I highly recommend the Zev Magwell Pro to anyone looking to elevate their Glock's performance.

No matter how much caloric deficit I do, I do an insane amount of cardio and nothing. I also have a hard time staying hard down there, I’m always tired no matter what. Had my testosterone check but they were around 500 and my doctor refuses to me put on it. What should I do? I know if I lose weight my bp will be normal right now it’s not.

The Kydex material provides an unparalleled secure fit for my 1911, and the belt loop attachment ensures it stays in place throughout the day.

The Kydex material is both sturdy and adaptive, allowing me to wear the holster for long stretches without any discomfort. One aspect of the holster that deserves mention, however, is the retention system.

However, some might find the Kydex material a bit too rigid for their liking. Nonetheless, it's worth mentioning that the durability of the material ensures this holster can withstand daily wear and tear. So, for those seeking a reliable and comfortable way to carry their Sig P365 X-MACRO, this Covert IWB holster could be the answer you've been looking for. 🔗Comfortable 1911 Inside Waistband Holster for Threaded Barrelshttps://preview.redd.it/iz9w5r48gx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c6e872c7ad3b5fa68a10a40d38abea0cdfed8c1 C&G's Covert IWB holster quickly became a staple in my daily life. The first thing that caught my eye was the solid feel of the Kydex material. It's a bit heavier than some other holsters I've tried, but this adds to the confidence that my firearm is securely held in place. The open bottom design is a game-changer - it fits threaded barrels and compensators like a glove, and offers compatibility with most RMRed Dots on the market. I particularly appreciate the customization options available for fit and attachment, which make it a perfect match for my carry needs. The slight discomfort I've experienced while wearing the Covert IWB holster is the only downside I've noticed. After wearing it for a few hours, I feel a bit of pressure on my hip.

Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I highly recommend this holster to anyone in the market for an IWB 1911 holster. 🔗Premium 1911 Shoulder Holster with Vertical Magazine Carrierhttps://preview.redd.it/v94puok8gx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02257f0d72a7d28d84f857c98f5ee65459b22078 I've been using the Classic Lite Shoulder Holster from Galco for a while now, and it's been a game-changer for me. The premium center-cut steerhide is durable and looks fantastic, giving me the confidence I need. The horizontal carry position is simple and intuitive, making it easier to draw my gun when needed. The vertical double magazine carrier with secure flaps ensures I always have a spare mag ready to go. And, the comfortable medium-width harness with swiveling Flexalon backplate adds a touch of luxury that I didn't know I needed. Plus, it's compatible with tie-downs, cuff cases, and accessories, making it an even more versatile choice. However, I've noticed that some users may find the design a bit heavy, especially for prolonged wear. Additionally, while the thumb break design is smart, it might take some getting used to if you're not familiar with the concept. Overall, the Classic Lite Shoulder Holster from Galco is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, durable, and comfortable shoulder rig. Just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve when it comes to the thumb break mechanism. 🔗Sleek Blackhawk 1911 Holster for Secure Concealmenthttps://preview.redd.it/kms5s8w8gx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fe1153c7522d729fddd11a693656531495ba72c Using the Blackhawk SERPA CQC Concealment Holster has been a game-changer for my carry options. This holster has a few standout features that make it stand out in my experience. Firstly, the SERPA Auto Lock is a godsend for security. I find it unnerving when my holster's system malfunctions and doesn't hold my gun tight. But with this one, I can confidently say that it's the real deal - the gun stays put, secure and safe when I need it to be. Secondly, the index finger release makes all the difference for speed and ease. This feature allows me to draw my gun in a split second when I need to, and once I'm done, putting it back in the holster is just as simple. The audible and tactile signal when the gun is reholstered gives me a sense of peace of mind in knowing that it's back in place and secure. On the downside, the plastic material of the belt loop and paddle platform tends to get a bit slippery, which can make retention a bit more tricky. But it's a minor concern compared to the overall functionality and convenience of this holster. Overall, the Blackhawk SERPA CQC Concealment Holster has been a solid addition to my carry arsenal, offering great security and a quick and easy draw. 🔗Desantis Tan 1911 Concealed Carry Holster for Right Handhttps://preview.redd.it/i7b1jsb9gx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5647e7c9a4aa8dc99adb71ac95905b1468b6dafa As someone who has spent plenty of time outdoors, I found the Desantis Sob holster to be a reliable and practical tool for concealed carry. The adjustable tension device offers a secure hold, while the tan finish and unlined leather complement my style quite nicely. However, I've noticed that the size can be limiting for those with wider belts, and the butt-up carry method might not be the most comfortable for everyone. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone seeking style and security in their concealed carry option. 🔗Eco Leather Concealed Carry Holster for 1911 Gunshttps://preview.redd.it/dmqwdop9gx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f11963de48ef34458759453cc9d4656a150abf4 I recently had the chance to try out the IWB Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houston. This concealed carry holster is made with eco-leather, making it a great choice for those who value sustainability. The holster is designed with comfort in mind, fitting around your waist with ease. It also features a soft suede lining for extra protection for your gun. One of the best parts of this holster is the sturdy metal clip that ensures your gun stays secure throughout the day. I found it to be a reliable choice when I needed to be on the move. However, on hot summer days, the holster can get a bit sweaty, so it might not be the best choice for intense outdoor activities. Overall, the IWB Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houston is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable concealed carry option. The eco-leather and soft suede lining provide excellent features for keeping your gun safe, while the metal clip ensures it remains secure throughout the day. However, be mindful of the potential for sweat build-up in hot weather. 🔗Bravo Concealment Torsion 1911 IWB Holster with Adjustable Retentionhttps://preview.redd.it/65oyee5agx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c406780d83e7c0b04ea4e74fe0e2384b9b7d4a19 I recently became a fan of the Bravo Concealment Adaptive IWB concealed carry holster for my trusty 1911. This holster has been a game-changer in my daily carry routine, thanks to its adjustable retention, which feels secure yet accessible at the same time. The polymer injection mold is absolutely impressive—it ensures a perfect fit for my 1911 without adding any unnecessary bulk. The torsion technology also helps conceal the gun by twisting it slightly inward, making it effortlessly blend with my wardrobe. One of my favorite features of this holster is the comfortable fit; it feels like a second skin without any discomfort or irritation. Plus, the holster retains its shape for smooth one-handed re-holstering. The tuckable clip is another added convenience, allowing me to effortlessly tuck it under my clothing when needed. However, there's one aspect I wish could've been improved—the audible clicking sound when re-holstering. It's a bit too loud for my liking, especially if I'm in quieter surroundings. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance of the Bravo Concealment IWB holster for my 1911. It's a reliable and comfortable option for everyday concealed carry. 🔗Comfortable 1911 Right-Hand Tan Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/wmiqj8hagx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a1d751c5aa6bcd9fc81d2fc5fdcd3b682d4252d Desantis Cozy Partner 1911 Tan Holster impressed me in many ways. I love its tension mechanism for handgun retention, ensuring that my firearm stays secure in place. However, the memory band, which helps maintain the holster's shape for easy re-holstering, could be improved. The 1 1/2" split belt loop works well, but I wish it was removable or adjustable for better compatibility with my belt. Another downside is that some models, unfortunately, lack this crucial feature. Overall, as a right-handed firearm enthusiast, this holster has proved useful and practical, but a little more flexibility could enhance my overall experience. 🔗Reliable 1911 Springfield 5" (rail) Concealed Carry Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/56ol7nuagx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52df6b08291b63308cee51e859be1fa2014cfd6b As someone who has been a firearms enthusiast for years, I was intrigued to try out the 1911 Springfield 5" (Rail) Holster for concealed carry. The first thing that struck me was its lightweight construction, which made it feel incredibly comfortable to wear throughout the day. This holster also proved to be reliable, as it securely held my Springfield 5" in place, even during strenuous activities. One of the most notable features of this holster is its 1.50" belt loops, which provide a snug fit and stability. However, it did take a bit of time to get the holster to sit just right on my belt, which was a minor inconvenience. All in all, for those seeking a lightweight, reliable, and secure option for concealed carry, the 1911 Springfield 5" (Rail) Holster is a great choice. 🔗Versacarry Element Distressed Brown Leather Holster for 1911 Style Guns with Spare Mag Pocket and Easy Clipshttps://preview.redd.it/gzq7297bgx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8efaa4d8977fa41609ce779ac24cd9fdc38699f2 As a reviewer who's tried the Versacarry Element Holster for myself, I can confidently say it's a comfortable and versatile choice for anyone carrying 1911-style guns. The high-quality distressed brown leather not only looks great but also offers excellent protection, allowing me to conceal carry with peace of mind. The biggest highlight in this holster for me was the adjustable cant and easy-on/off clips. I appreciate that I can customize the holster's angle to suit my carry preferences, which makes my daily carry more ergonomic and comfortable. Additionally, the quick-release clips make it a breeze to access my firearm when needed. However, there are a couple of downsides that I've noticed during my use. First, the spare magazine storage compartment is quite snug, which can make it difficult to load or unload extra magazines. And second, while the raised protective backing helps shield my skin from cold contact, the holster does tend to slip a bit, especially when I'm moving around briskly. Overall, the Versacarry Element Holster is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable and discreet 1911 holster. Its adjustable cant and quick-release clips make it a standout option, but expect some minor issues with the spare magazine storage and slippage. But if you're willing to overlook these minor flaws, this holster could be a great addition to your daily carry routine. 🔗Springfield 1911 Right Hand Paddle Holster - Blackhttps://preview.redd.it/tfhc0rmbgx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e7f7f570f50ce0ac50b4ae635280934e29d2e16 I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Springfield Paddle Holster. As a gun enthusiast, I've always been on the lookout for reliable holsters that cater to the needs of my trusty 1911 handgun. The moment I slipped this one onto my belt, I knew I hit the jackpot. It's crafted to perfection, fitting snugly and securely on my right side. I really appreciated the paddle design, which kept the holster in place even during my most active days. One of the features that stood out for me was the adjustable retention system. It allowed me to have a quick draw while still ensuring a secure grip on my handgun. This was particularly useful when I was on the move or needed to react quickly. The sleek black finish perfectly complemented the overall look of the holster. However, there was one small issue I faced. The holster sat a bit higher than my expectations, making it slightly inconvenient to conceal the handgun if I needed to. Despite this hiccup, I would still recommend this holster to anyone looking for a reliable Paddle Holster for their 1911. It's comfortable, secure, and a great value for its price. 🔗Premium Western 1911 Inside-the-Waistband Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/er0l0exbgx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b850765be55a03d60739169571e1cfaf3eb8e644 I recently had the chance to try the Galco Royal Guard 1911 Inside-the-Waistband Holster Black - a sleek and versatile option for gun owners. This holster boasts an innovative design that keeps your weapon secure while still ensuring that you have easy access to it when you need it most. I particularly appreciated the rough side of the leather facing out, providing great stability and protection for your gun. Wearing the Galco Royal Guard was a comfortable experience, allowing for real-world concealment even of larger defensive guns. The smooth leather pocket was reinforced for sturdiness, and it granted unrestricted movement and easy reholstering. In my opinion, the combat grip accessibility rounded out this holster's utility to make it an invaluable choice for those seeking speed and agility. A few aspects of the Galco Royal Guard could use some improvement, but overall, I was impressed with the product. Its premium natural color horsehide constructed to fit 1-3/4" belts was a definite plus. And for those with 1-1/4" belts, there's an optional belt channel to consider. While there is still room for improvement, the Royal Guard holds promise as a reliable choice for any gun enthusiast. 🔗Comfortably Concealed 1911 Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houstonhttps://preview.redd.it/qvw30tbcgx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d037b2971f8da9bba4505d672f7b853fe4ff2b59 Recently, I stumbled upon the IWB Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houston, and I must say, it has become a crucial part of my daily life. The first thing that caught my attention was the comfortable design. It feels light and doesn't cause any discomfort even after hours of wear. One of the most important features for me was the strong metal clip, ensuring maximum retention. I can confidently say that my gun stays securely in place without falling out. The double stitching adds a layer of durability, making this holster a reliable choice for regular use. Now, let's talk about customization. Houston's holster allows for left-handed customization. I've used it with a 5-inch barrel, and it fit perfectly. The soft suede lining inside offers extra protection to my gun, maintaining its condition even after extensive use. However, one minor drawback I've noticed is the absence of waterproofing, which I believe could enhance its performance in unpredictable weather conditions. But overall, this holster has made a significant difference in my gun-carrying experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

2024.06.01 11:03 Electrical-Ad1820 Guide to Willo: Part 1
Willo has recently experienced a boost in its player base. However, this increase isn't up to the standards of one of my mates, who plays Willo excessively. Fair enough, it’s quite frustrating when you manage to save Willo, and the person you give her to is running Scorn and dies before their Deadzone expires. So, he's convinced me to help him make this and post it here. This will be divided into multiple parts because reading long posts is daunting, and writing them is even worse.
Willo’s capabilities will be spread across some arbitrary stats that mean nothing outside of the context of Willo. Still, they do help convey something in a future post about her talents; for now, they function as a baseline, a “default” Willo.
https://preview.redd.it/krmr1bi6ex3d1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a6e2cd7ba7c2d0a9461dc72656766439188946e
Damage
Willo’s damage is rather low, with her primary fire doing 500 damage per shot every 0.75 seconds, with a DPS of 666.6666 (ad nauseam). Her most impressive damage comes from Seedlings*, with a total of 2000 damage. Her Deadzone outright does only 100 damage, so Willo is quite lacking
*Seedlings are both subject to fall-off, and their fuse time is 2 seconds once they land, giving anyone nearby plenty of time to evade the damage. However, this damage is more than consistent, considering the explosive radius (at 14 units in diameter) is only beaten by Ash’s burst cannon (17 units) and Dredge’s howitzer (15 units).
Sustain Willo’s sustain for the damage role is rather middling, as it’s mostly made up of her mobility and glide, which does provide her a step up compared to the likes of Vivian and Viktor, whose mobility is either non-existent and forces them to rely on other parts of their kit, or prevents the use of their offensive capabilities. However, this doesn’t make up for her frailty, which combines with her poor damage to make engaging in duels rather painful. The only benefit is that you are a slightly smaller size than Willo.
Mobility
As previously mentioned, Willo’s mobility is rather impressive compared to most of the cast, which I guess is a common trend among the blasters now, except Dredge*. This is because of Willo’s Flutter and Glide, giving Willo immense mobility. *Yes, Crow’s Nest exists.
Area Denial
I believe that of the strengths Willo has, her ability to deny space and punish people for trying to push a locked down area is unrivalled. Short of an Omen ult and its crushing levels of damage, no one is outcompeting Willo regarding area denial, even Broadsides have plenty of counterplay, this is because of the potent tool that is Deadzone. While outright it’s not going to kill someone once it's placed, it's also not going to be destroyed or otherwise stopped, the consistent damage that Willo outputs within its radius, combined with seedlings and any support from her team, makes Willo's area denial unrivaled.
Utility
Willo’s utility is pretty good for a Damage Champion, the ability to stop healing outright, is impressive. The provided area denial makes it so Willo is no slouch in terms of utility for her team. However, like most of the damage role, she lacks hard Crowd Control, and more damningly and unique for her, she lacks power against shields and most deployables mean she has to invest in the likes of Wrecker to keep up her suppressive damage and have some value outside of her deadzone.
Stats
Class: Damage (gains 100% more credits for dealing damage)
Starting Health: 2200 Base Movement Speed: 375 or 23.08 units per second
Movement Type: Standard (she has no slow fall, momentum, or otherwise unusual modifiers to her walk)
Willo’s glide has a few attributes:
Unlike Androxus’s Drift, Willo’s Flutter is not affected by her movement speed, except for when changing direction, which instead acts similarly to Buck’s jump in that her air control is near flawless and speed is only reduced by trying to push against where your momentum is pushing you. This introduces the first real part of the Glide: because of how the Glide works on momentum, with your foot speed only modifying direction, this means that if you wish to go back where you started as Willo while gliding without slowing down, you’ll need to do a drift (not to be confused with Androxus’ passive “Drift”). You’ll find this easier on a gamepad/controller since your inputs are on a 360-degree plane. Still, on a keyboard, you’ll be able to control your trajectory regardless of Glide.
You can make sharper turns left or right without delay; however, this does sacrifice some speed based on the mathematics of momentum.
W
Step #2) Then diagonally with either strafe keys (we’ll go to the right), you’ll want to hold this until you begin to turn before
WD
Step #3) Then just strafing until you stop going forward altogether. D
Step #4) Start using your back key to begin the transfer backward. You want to hold this slightly longer to make sure you’re beginning to properly turn since normally backpedalling is slower.
DS
Step #5) You’ll want to stop strafing and lean back.
S
Willo can maintain her momentum by hitting herself with her primary attack, where she sacrifices her health and ammo to maintain her low-flying airtime and momentum, giving her the ability to roll out. That also combines well with certain high-ground positions to preserve Flutter for future use; as well, as carry and even enhance the momentum provided by Flutter. This again comes at the risk of leaving yourself more vulnerable in combat since you’re at lower health and less Ammo.
You can also skip most of this if you don’t care about facing the same direction, by using your mouse or the stick you aim with in conjunction with your forward and strafe inputs to get similar results, with less work though you are lacking the ability to face the same direction.
I mentioned earlier that the Glide has momentum both horizontally and vertically, and that can be quite the detriment since unlike Andro who’s a flat fall rate, and Drogoz which has an upward lifting force Glide has neither so if you start falling you’re not likely to slow down your descent, which makes the passive rather committal.
Stats of Wand of Overgrowth
There are three main thought processes with Deadzone use cases you want to stop people from going somewhere
1)Area Denial
For the most part, your enemies don’t want to stand in the spot where they can’t get healed and likely these spots can be certain chokepoints, flank routes, or even the point
2)Crowd Control
Very similar to area denial though more proactive, this is aiming to where the people are, often in groups but also at points you want people to leave, this is usually done in conjunction with your Primary attack.
Deadzone has an incredibly long cooldown of 16 seconds to balance out its impressive power, especially in the damage role only outdone by Drogoz’s Salvo (20 seconds) and Octavia’s Distortion Field (18 seconds) so one has to be judicious with how they choose to utilize Deadzone, often its more important to prioritize the Area Denial, and Crowd control aspects over the Value that might be found in heal denial, especially since in her base kit Willo isn’t the greatest at confirming these kills herself and without coordination might not be possible to otherwise confirm the kills making the use of deadzone in these situations potentially wasteful.
Oh, like most channeled movement abilities Willo is immune to knockbacks during the time.

Willo Overview
Willo is a damage champion who excels at crowd suppression, area denial, point control, and healing denial. This might seem like a lot, but much of it combines how one will engage with Willo’s kit, which is more or less built around controlling the capabilities of the enemy support and point tank. Most backline/hybrid-agro DPS do this via suppressive levels of damage output. However, Willo’s damage is shallow, but unlike her peers (specifically Betty), she can shut down healing numbers altogether via Deadzone, which I will specifically talk about when I get to that part of Willo’s kit.Willo’s capabilities will be spread across some arbitrary stats that mean nothing outside of the context of Willo. Still, they do help convey something in a future post about her talents; for now, they function as a baseline, a “default” Willo.

Damage
Willo’s damage is rather low, with her primary fire doing 500 damage per shot every 0.75 seconds, with a DPS of 666.6666 (ad nauseam). Her most impressive damage comes from Seedlings*, with a total of 2000 damage. Her Deadzone outright does only 100 damage, so Willo is quite lacking
*Seedlings are both subject to fall-off, and their fuse time is 2 seconds once they land, giving anyone nearby plenty of time to evade the damage. However, this damage is more than consistent, considering the explosive radius (at 14 units in diameter) is only beaten by Ash’s burst cannon (17 units) and Dredge’s howitzer (15 units).
Sustain Willo’s sustain for the damage role is rather middling, as it’s mostly made up of her mobility and glide, which does provide her a step up compared to the likes of Vivian and Viktor, whose mobility is either non-existent and forces them to rely on other parts of their kit, or prevents the use of their offensive capabilities. However, this doesn’t make up for her frailty, which combines with her poor damage to make engaging in duels rather painful. The only benefit is that you are a slightly smaller size than Willo.
Mobility
As previously mentioned, Willo’s mobility is rather impressive compared to most of the cast, which I guess is a common trend among the blasters now, except Dredge*. This is because of Willo’s Flutter and Glide, giving Willo immense mobility. *Yes, Crow’s Nest exists.
Area Denial
I believe that of the strengths Willo has, her ability to deny space and punish people for trying to push a locked down area is unrivalled. Short of an Omen ult and its crushing levels of damage, no one is outcompeting Willo regarding area denial, even Broadsides have plenty of counterplay, this is because of the potent tool that is Deadzone. While outright it’s not going to kill someone once it's placed, it's also not going to be destroyed or otherwise stopped, the consistent damage that Willo outputs within its radius, combined with seedlings and any support from her team, makes Willo's area denial unrivaled.
Utility
Willo’s utility is pretty good for a Damage Champion, the ability to stop healing outright, is impressive. The provided area denial makes it so Willo is no slouch in terms of utility for her team. However, like most of the damage role, she lacks hard Crowd Control, and more damningly and unique for her, she lacks power against shields and most deployables mean she has to invest in the likes of Wrecker to keep up her suppressive damage and have some value outside of her deadzone.
Willo’s Kit
Now onto the less arbitrary and made up stats, and to the more tangible: Willo’s actual kit. I will explain what the abilities do with the maximum level of depth possible and how best to use them, or I will add other comments. I intend to first mention the parts of Willo’s kit that I feel are most important to explain in depth.Stats
Class: Damage (gains 100% more credits for dealing damage)
Starting Health: 2200 Base Movement Speed: 375 or 23.08 units per second
Movement Type: Standard (she has no slow fall, momentum, or otherwise unusual modifiers to her walk)
Passive: Glide
Willo has a glide, which I feel shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s played with/against/as Willo, since the feel of the champion has changed dramatically because of the change.Willo’s glide has a few attributes:
- The Glide is affected by the “Per Champion Special” toggle, which activates the glide without inputting the jump command.
- Glide is affected by Cripple (but as of now not by Silence).
- Glide is unique compared to Androxus’ “Drift” in that it’s affected by momentum both vertically and horizontally, whereas Androxus only suffers from horizontal momentum and can easily regain control.
- Willo loses a lot of her air control if hit by most forms of hard knockback (AoE damage from blasters like Drogoz’s or Ash’s primary fires does not apply this effect, while Combustible Fire Spit (Drogoz), or Kinetic Burst and Shoulder Bash (Ash) does).
- Willo can affect Glide’s momentum via self-damage from her primary, as well as her movement ability, Flutter.
Unlike Androxus’s Drift, Willo’s Flutter is not affected by her movement speed, except for when changing direction, which instead acts similarly to Buck’s jump in that her air control is near flawless and speed is only reduced by trying to push against where your momentum is pushing you. This introduces the first real part of the Glide: because of how the Glide works on momentum, with your foot speed only modifying direction, this means that if you wish to go back where you started as Willo while gliding without slowing down, you’ll need to do a drift (not to be confused with Androxus’ passive “Drift”). You’ll find this easier on a gamepad/controller since your inputs are on a 360-degree plane. Still, on a keyboard, you’ll be able to control your trajectory regardless of Glide.
You can make sharper turns left or right without delay; however, this does sacrifice some speed based on the mathematics of momentum.
These instructions assume you’re on a keyboard going forward and want to do a 180 and use the standard WASD control scheme.
Step #1) You’ll want to start leaning forward just for a split second before step 2.W
Step #2) Then diagonally with either strafe keys (we’ll go to the right), you’ll want to hold this until you begin to turn before
WD
Step #3) Then just strafing until you stop going forward altogether. D
Step #4) Start using your back key to begin the transfer backward. You want to hold this slightly longer to make sure you’re beginning to properly turn since normally backpedalling is slower.
DS
Step #5) You’ll want to stop strafing and lean back.
S
These instructions assume you’re on a gamepad/controller and are going forward and want to do a 180.
You’ll want to do a half-circle motion with a gamepad or controller. Once halfway through said motion, you’ll want to make the rest of the turn slower since the foot speed of all champions is slightly slower backward compared to going forward.Willo can maintain her momentum by hitting herself with her primary attack, where she sacrifices her health and ammo to maintain her low-flying airtime and momentum, giving her the ability to roll out. That also combines well with certain high-ground positions to preserve Flutter for future use; as well, as carry and even enhance the momentum provided by Flutter. This again comes at the risk of leaving yourself more vulnerable in combat since you’re at lower health and less Ammo.
You can also skip most of this if you don’t care about facing the same direction, by using your mouse or the stick you aim with in conjunction with your forward and strafe inputs to get similar results, with less work though you are lacking the ability to face the same direction.
I mentioned earlier that the Glide has momentum both horizontally and vertically, and that can be quite the detriment since unlike Andro who’s a flat fall rate, and Drogoz which has an upward lifting force Glide has neither so if you start falling you’re not likely to slow down your descent, which makes the passive rather committal.
Primary Fire
“Wand of Overgrowth” (from here shall be generally referred to as WoO or simply primary fire) is a relatively larger but also relatively weaker AoE attack, compared to Drogoz’s Rocket Launcher and Evie’s Ice staff, in return for the weaker per shot damage, WoO is slightly faster, the firing speed more comparable to Dredge’s Howitzer and Bomb King’s Sticky Bombs.Stats of Wand of Overgrowth
- Does a maximum of 500 damage, on direct or within max damage range
- The AoE of WoO is a 14-unit radius.
- The Full Effective range is a 1-unit radius.
- Has a damage reduction based on the distance from the centre of the blast radius with a max damage reduction of 70% (or 125 damage)
- Willo’s primary travels 300 units per second
- Deal self-damage to yourself within a radius with a minimum of 30 damage to a max of 100.
- A max range of 500 units (at which point the projectile disappears)
Deadzone
Deadzone is Willo’s key ability, and most potent tool, which is kind of odd, considering that I thought to talk about her Glide and Primary first, and that’s because for the most part deadzone works like how you’d expect, there’s very little that’s too surprising about how it works, I guess anything that would make it surprising just makes it easier to use at full effect, nothing too crazy. Still, it’s incredibly powerful and it’s the reason why Willo’s area denial is so good, since the threat it has is deceptively lethal, and it
- Deadzone has a radius of 25 units.
- At base, The Deadzone zone lasts for 5 seconds.
- The effect of deadzone lasts for 1 second.
- Deadzone has no falloff.
- Deadzone is a sphere, any entering of said sphere applies to the deadzone.
- Deadzone relies on a line of sight to the centre
- It stops healing altogether, compared to reducing it by a certain percentage, since unlike Tyra’s Burn Monster talent, deadzone sets the healing to Zero.
There are three main thought processes with Deadzone use cases you want to stop people from going somewhere
1)Area Denial
For the most part, your enemies don’t want to stand in the spot where they can’t get healed and likely these spots can be certain chokepoints, flank routes, or even the point
2)Crowd Control
Very similar to area denial though more proactive, this is aiming to where the people are, often in groups but also at points you want people to leave, this is usually done in conjunction with your Primary attack.
3)Heal DenialSometimes you want to ensure someone is dead, and that you want to stop their team -short of a Rei Rivivify- from changing that, this is especially good against Ying, and Grover’s ultimates as the duration after can lead to them getting killed even if they leave the zone.
Deadzone has an incredibly long cooldown of 16 seconds to balance out its impressive power, especially in the damage role only outdone by Drogoz’s Salvo (20 seconds) and Octavia’s Distortion Field (18 seconds) so one has to be judicious with how they choose to utilize Deadzone, often its more important to prioritize the Area Denial, and Crowd control aspects over the Value that might be found in heal denial, especially since in her base kit Willo isn’t the greatest at confirming these kills herself and without coordination might not be possible to otherwise confirm the kills making the use of deadzone in these situations potentially wasteful.
Flutter
Flutter more or less combines with the Glide otherwise acts as how you’d expect it to, with the small quirk that depending on how you angle it you keep some momentum once the ability is done done, with the further you aim up the less momentum and the more downwards you aim the more momentum you gain, though this momentum is best utilized with Glide at a somewhat forward facing angle up or down depending on if you need verticality or horizontal clearance, however, it comes with a need for one’s best judgement.Oh, like most channeled movement abilities Willo is immune to knockbacks during the time.
Fae Flight
Fae Flight is more or less what you’d know from playing the game and seeing it at work or reading its description though some use cases aren’t immediately clear.- Fae Flight has a channel time of 1.6 seconds.
- If killed while channeling the charge will not be used.
- You receive a speed boost when channeling your ultimate.
- You are CC during all phases of the ultimate including the channeling time.
- Refills your ammo.
Conlcusion
Overall Willo in the base kit is frail to being dived, and her DPS isn’t all that impressive but has some of the most lethal area denials in the game, however, as many of you are quite aware Willo has plenty more in store to make up soon I’ll be posting follow ups guides to further aid those interesting in learning Willo in more depth.2024.06.01 09:19 UsualSet8535 Dynamic QR Code vs. Static QR Code: Which is Right for Your Business

These holsters are popular among handgun enthusiasts and those who own firearms for personal protection or home defense.Materials and ConstructionThe materials and construction of an 1836 holster are crucial considerations for reliability and durability. High-quality leather or nylon are common materials, with some holsters featuring a hybrid design that combines both. The stitching and reinforcements should be strong and secure to prevent the holster from coming apart under pressure. https://preview.redd.it/bnzse7x6ow3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa4d80d3d0229dbebef75e56357cabf321265983 Comfort and RetentionComfort and retention are essential aspects when choosing an 1836 holster.

For instance, you may need a concealed carry holster if you plan on concealing your firearm under clothing or a discreet holster for everyday carry.

Always ensure that your chosen holster complies with local and state laws and regulations.Budget ConsiderationsThe price range for 1836 holsters can vary greatly depending on the specific features, materials, and brand.

2024.06.01 08:23 ashwamedha_kali My 19 years Journey
I was diagnosed with GERD 19 years ago with grade 2 reflux oesophagitis and ulceration. I was having burning sensation in my chest. Was on PPIs for one year and got cured. 16 years ago, I got burning sensation in my stomach, around the end of my left rib. Further endoscopy said I was having acute antral gastritis. I have been on PPIs for 16 years. No cure from the symptoms. My last endoscopy 7 years ago said I have a sessile fundic polyp and no gastritis. The polyp was not malignant. 6 years ago I had a gastric test done for stomach cancer, came out negative. After this I was prescribed Gaviscon to help me get off PPIs but that did not help. I was told by one gastroenterologist that I have functional dyspepsia. I am an Indian, vegetarian, teetotaler, low spice & low oil diet by Indian standards. I eat mostly homecooked food, occassionally dining out. Experimented with alternative medicine like Ayurveda and homeopathy. Homeopathy is a total fraud, don't waste your time there. Ayurveda helped reducing the intensity of burning, but has not eliminated it. By no means my situation is as bad as what people in this group post. So, I might be able to offer a few useful suggestions to keep your life going.
If you have high intensity burning or pain in antral stomach, PPIs are the only way to reduce it to manageable levels. Take it daily for no more than a month. Gastros typically prescribe 40mg Panteprazole or Rabeprazole, sometimes even twice a day. This is high dosage. See if 20 mg works for you once a day and use it daily for at most a month. I have managed to reduce it to Omeprazole 20mg every alternate day or every two days. If I try to reduce the frequency beyond that, my burning increases. Of late, I have tried Zinc L-Carnosine. It reduced the intensity of burning but did not help wean away from PPIs. I have found one teaspoon of liquid cow ghee to offer temporary relief. Take domperidone 10mg for the occasional nausea. Try taking Ayurvedic treatment for at least 3 months.
I used to get frequent stomach infections once in every 4 months. For 15+ years I used to pop an antibiotic course (3 day course of Ofloxacin, Ornidazole 500 mg) every 4 months. In the last one year, I have had only one 3 day course triggered by dining outside. What worked in decreasing the frequency of infections was drinking hot water boiled with a pinch of home made turmeric every morning on empty stomach. In the West, you can get turmeric powder in any Indian grocery store. Indians use a lot of turmeric in their daily food. It's an interesting fact that only raw turmeric boiled in hot water had on empty stomach worked for me despite my diet having lots of turmeric.
If you catch stomach infection from dining out, you can try Dadimashtaka Choornam instead of an antibiotic. It's a wonderful ayurvedic formulation. But it can cause really, really bad constipation. Mix half a teaspoon with ghee and hot water and have it twice a day in case of bad infection. If you feel the infection has improved you should stop taking it. It's a combination of 8 herbs, and one of the primary ingredients in it is pomegranate extract (dadima = pomegranate, ashtakam = 8 in Sanskrit).
Avoid coffee and milk. Avoid milk tea if it triggers you. When the situation becomes manageable, you can have tea with very small quantity of milk. Indian tea carries too much milk in general. Coffee is an absolute no.
Garlic triggers me a lot. So it's a complete no-no. Low spice, low oil satvik food home cooked food works for me. Of course, not a 100% cure.
Have your dinner by 7.30 pm. Make it light. Take a half an hour slow walk after dinner. Sleep before 10.30 pm. Keep yourself physically active through walking, yoga, swimming or any sport that you like. Discipline matters, circadian rhythm matters.

Reviews🔗Uniden 800 MHz 300-Channel Base Mobile Scanner with Close Call RF Technologyhttps://preview.redd.it/obpptyc2fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=912b3a072c3f12a3c2d5fa3a5a8d4aa57e8b72cf Recently, I tried out the Uniden BC355C mobile scanner radio and was impressed by its wide-ranging capabilities. This scanner has a special design perfect for fixed locations such as offices or vehicles. One of the most useful features I found was the Close Call RF capture technology that helps you capture signals from transmitters in your vicinity. The scanner's preprogrammed service search functionally captures active frequencies that you can monitor. The backlit display makes reading the display an option in low light conditions, and its ability to monitor 300 channels all at once with a scanning speed of 100 channels per second is quite impressive. The Uniden BC355C also covers a broad range of frequencies, particularly those used for police, ambulance, fire services, amateur radio, and weather announcements. It can scan frequencies at an astonishing speed of 100 channels per second. The scanner includes AC adapters for home use and a DC power cable for in-vehicle use, which is quite convenient. However, one drawback I noticed was the internal speaker's sound quality, which could be improved with an external speaker. Despite this minor flaw, overall, the performance and versatility of the Uniden BC355C Mobile Scanner Radio make it a great investment, especially considered its reasonable price. 🔗Radio Shack Pro-74 100 Channel VHF/UHF/Ai800 MHz Race Scanner - Advanced Features for Real-Life Police Situationshttps://preview.redd.it/cmy6g5y2fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2937b7aed3a8d4addc5a11b24abe3242813ec78 I recently had the chance to test out the Radio Shack Pro-74, a fantastic option for a cool radio scanner. With its various features and impressive frequency coverage, it made for an enjoyable and informative experience. The weather search feature proved invaluable during race weekends, giving me instant updates on any channel change without needing to manually search. It also stores your 10 favorite channels, making it convenient for accessing frequently used frequencies. One aspect that stood out was the unique opportunity to listen to local first responders in real-life situations, providing a deeper understanding of the risks they face in their line of duty. The Pro-74 covers various bands, including VHF-HI, UHF, air, and government channels, giving listeners broad access to multiple channels for their listening pleasure. However, I did encounter a minor issue with connecting my RE-branded headsets, though fortunately, I was able to order a replacement scanner for a friend. This issue seemed to be specific to my headset brand and not a consistent problem with the scanner itself. Overall, I was blown away by the quality and performance of the Radio Shack Pro-74. It provided clear audio, impressive features, and a wide range of channels for an incredible scanning experience. So if you're in the market for a cool radio scanner, look no further than this one. 🔗Pre-owned 200 Channel VHF/UHF Race Scanner with 800 MHz frequencyhttps://preview.redd.it/5cvjme53fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86f6644db6cd06fbd20dc6c60e9872ca73a9d852 As someone who loves listening to the chatter on the radio, I was excited to try out the pre-owned Radio Shack Pro-89 VHF/UHF/AIR 800MHz 200 Channel Handheld Race Scanner. With its 200 channels and VHF band, it promised to offer a wealth of information on the race. The first thing that caught my attention was the scanner's robust build, despite its pre-owned condition. It might have a few scuffs and scratches, but it functioned flawlessly. I was impressed with how easy it was to navigate through the channels and find the one I wanted. And when I did, the volume was loud enough to hear without using an earpiece. However, the volume knob did require a bit of a turn to get to a decent level, which can be a bit inconvenient at times. But overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. It's been a great companion, and the fact that I could set it up quickly made it even better. So, although there's a minor drawback with the volume knob, I would highly recommend the Radio Shack Pro-89 VHF/UHF/AIR 800MHz 200 Channel Handheld Race Scanner to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use race scanner. 🔗Uniden BCD536HP 800 MHz Scanner with Wi-Fihttps://preview.redd.it/6kxeubj3fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ee155f22b397d7f5ca079dcd76a31bdbe5aa22c The Uniden BCD536HP is a versatile scanner that's perfect for both home and mobile use. As someone who's been a scanner enthusiast for years, I can confidently say this device has exceeded my expectations. The trunking technology, which allows for easy set-up with your zip code, is a game-changer in the digital scanner world. It also comes with the entire USA and Canada radio database onboard, providing a seamless listening experience. The Wifi feature really sets this scanner apart from others in its class. With the exclusive Uniden Siren app, I can access my scanner from anywhere in my home or vehicle, giving me unparalleled flexibility. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and the wifi feature might be a bit daunting for non-tech-savvy users. One of the most impressive features is the large display. This clear, easy-to-read display provides quick access to all essential information. But, as someone who appreciates sleek designs, I would have liked a slightly more discreet display. The SAME weather alert is another standout feature. It’s especially useful for those who live in areas prone to severe weather conditions. However, some users may find the weather alerts a bit too frequent or distracting. Overall, the Uniden BCD536HP is an impressive piece of technology, providing an unmatched listening experience. It’s compact, easy to use, and offers a wealth of features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals alike. But, as with any high-tech device, there are certainly areas where it could improve, such as the slightly bulky design and potentially overwhelming wifi functionality. Despite these minor drawbacks, I wholeheartedly recommend the Uniden BCD536HP to anyone in the market for a digital scanner. 🔗Versatile 500-Channel Analog Handheld Scanner with Close Call RF Capturehttps://preview.redd.it/warnxw04fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=798bee6de2b982e15eab67883c987e53546fbedd The Uniden Bearcat 500-Channel Handheld Scanner became my lifeline during my recent expedition to the Great Plains. Its compact design made it the perfect companion for my travels, fitting comfortably in my backpack without taking up too much space. One of the standout features of the scanner was its ability to receive a wide range of frequencies. It allowed me to tune in to police and other agency transmissions, adding an exciting element to my journey. The LCD display was also a helpful feature, providing me with valuable information and making it easy to navigate through the various channels. However, there were a few aspects that left room for improvement. The scanner's battery life could be better, and I found myself constantly having to charge it. Additionally, the earphone jack was a bit finicky, requiring me to fiddle with it to get a clear signal. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Uniden Bearcat 500-Channel Handheld Scanner proved to be a reliable and versatile companion on my adventure. Its compact design, wide frequency range, and LCD display were key factors in making it a valuable addition to my travel gear. 🔗Advanced Multi-Band Radio Scanner for Emergency Serviceshttps://preview.redd.it/vxwb73c4fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c782fce84b74aca79f7d34ae81822e968e0005c8 Recently, I've been using the Whistler Ws1065 Digital Desktop Radio Scanner, and it's been quite an experience. I must admit, it took me a while to get the hang of programming the frequencies, but once I did, I was amazed at the variety of services it could receive. The V-scanner technology and digital AGC were particularly thoughtful features that made the scanning process more enjoyable. The LED indicator was a nice touch, helping me track and monitor all the activity taking place. However, it did take some time to figure out how to use it effectively. One thing I noticed was that the scan list allowed me to arrange, group, and scan objects according to my preferences, which was very convenient. The unit's size and shape fit perfectly on my desk, and the black color blended well with my setup. The 800 Mhz scanner is versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. I did find that the speaker was a bit too low and had to use a booster to make it loud enough. Overall, although it took some effort to get it up and running, I would definitely recommend this scanner to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to stay informed about various services. 🔗Uniden BC355N 800 MHz Scanner: Monitor with 300 Channels and Close Call Featurehttps://preview.redd.it/9i66swp4fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57e2bd0bd670d4a111fef6459d47b08f85200324 Imagine walking into a cozy coffee shop, nestled in the bustling heart of the city, where the chatter of voices fills your ears and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelops your senses. Now, imagine being able to tune into these voices as a fly on the wall, hearing the police, firefighters, and even the chats of people on the other side of the counter. That's the magic of the Uniden BC355N 800 MHz 300-channel base mobile scanner. This little device is a treasure trove of information, its 300 channels covering the action bands for police, ambulance, fire, amateur radio, and more. With the press of a button, it can instantly capture signals from nearby transmitters, and its RF capture technology ensures you never miss a beat. And hey, if you find your ears overwhelmed with too many frequencies, you can lock out the unwanted ones with search and temporary lockouts. But, like any good scanner, the Uniden BC355N is not without its quirks.

As an avid scanner enthusiast, I was intrigued to see how it would perform. The build quality is remarkable, and the 3.5-inch screen makes it easy to read even the tiniest details. I was initially a bit concerned about the audio hum issues reported by some users, but after trying it with a Vertex Standard MLS-100 speaker, there was no humming whatsoever. One thing that stood out is the scanner's True I/Q receiver technology, which provides exceptional digital decode performance. It's perfect for both receiving signals from challenging environments and for fine-tuning audio settings. The scanner's compatibility with USB connectivity is another plus, making it a breeze to transfer data. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. Firstly, the ethernet jack is placed on the front, which might be an inconvenience for some users. Secondly, the variety of display color options made it a bit overwhelming, though not a deal-breaker. Programming the scanner seems a bit daunting, especially for beginners, as it requires computer knowledge to set it up optimally. Overall, the Uniden SDS200 base/mobile scanner exceeded my expectations. Its superior performance, user-friendly features, and easy transfer of data make it a great investment for any scanner enthusiast. 🔗Advanced 800 Mhz TrunkTracker V Scannerhttps://preview.redd.it/v9ovkxb6fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3578ba8183113fb4fafa6c98e3e2af94efc3847b The Uniden Handheld TrunkTracker V Scanner, or BCD325P2 for short, has been a faithful companion in my daily life, fulfilling all my scanning needs with its advanced digital technology. Staying connected and informed has never been easier thanks to the device's Close Call RF Capture Technology, which makes it simple to capture and monitor nearby signals. One of the standout features of this scanner is its Priority Scan mode, which ensures that I never miss important channels, especially during emergency situations or when keeping up-to-date with the latest news.

The LCD display screen provides crystal-clear and easy-to-read information, allowing me to quickly access the data I need. Though the device is quite portable, weighing only 1 lb, it is powered by two AA batteries, making it even more convenient for on-the-go use. Its compact and lightweight design, combined with its impressive capabilities, makes it a perfect choice for anyone who wants to stay connected and informed. However, there were a few areas where I felt the device could improve. For instance, the instructions provided in the manual, especially for new users, could have been more clearly written in simpler terms. Additionally, some users may find the programming process more complicated and challenging than expected. Despite these minor drawbacks, the BCD325P2 has proven to be a reliable and indispensable tool in my daily life, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to stay informed and connected. 🔗Uniden Beartracker 885: 40-Channel CB Radio/Scanner with 800 MHz Frequency and Noise-Canceling Microphonehttps://preview.redd.it/y09t2wq6fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01dc7ec8e5436264d456dad33419e53d3f20818d As I was driving on a recent road trip, I remembered my trusty Uniden BearTracker 885 Hybrid CB Radio/Digital Scanner. This little device kept me informed of local public safety activity throughout the United States and Canada, thanks to its ability to scan police, fire, ambulance, and/or DOT radio traffic. One thing that truly impressed me was its ergonomic noise-canceling microphone. It was perfect for those noisy trailer cabs, helping me communicate effectively despite the noise. The 7-color LCD display and meter made it easy to read channels, and the ability to manually set the zip code into the scanner, combined with the GPS location selection of available frequencies, was a game-changer for me. However, there was one downside - I encountered static on all four scanner channels at the same time. It made it difficult to receive clear broadcasts. It would have been great to display the frequencies and ID of the emergency channels, especially in urban areas. Overall, the Uniden BearTrack 885 Hybrid CB Radio/Digital Scanner was a reliable companion on my journey, keeping me informed and connected on the road. Its blend of CB radio and scanner features in one sleek package made it a great choice for other drivers as well. 🔗Stay Informed with Uniden HomePatrol-2 Scanner for Easy Access to Local Channels and Weather Alertshttps://preview.redd.it/tcm7uw27fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09a584c214a2c90e1362e736995fd3a415a3d404 Ever wondered what it's like to have access to a wealth of information about your local police and fire departments, as well as the weather alerts? That's what the Uniden Homepatrol 2 Scanner offers. This handheld device lets you listen in on an amazing array of communications systems, from weather spotters to aircraft communications. It's compatible with APCO25 Phase II, which means you can easily connect to your zip code. But here's the catch. It comes with a caveat. The included antenna isn't the best, so you might need to upgrade it. Once you do, you'll find you can scan a lot of signals in a short time, though it might be a bit slow to pick up some channels. And let's not forget about the batteries. They need to be charged properly and it can take a long time, which can be a bit inconvenient. On the upside, this scanner is easy to program and offers a good range of applications, from general knowledge to journalism. However, some users have reported issues with the battery system and the quality of the included antenna. If you're keen on this type of device, you might want to look out for other models that have better battery life or antenna quality. After all, knowing what's happening in your area can be essential. 🔗Uniden Bear Tracker Scanner for GPS-Enabled Radio Scanninghttps://preview.redd.it/382at9o7fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30746df5256ffa0af95588d47d3c8f55746ee3d1 In my daily life, I found the Uniden Bear Tracker 9,000-Channel Mobile Analog Scanner to be a powerful and flexible tool for scanning radio systems. It definitely outshines my old radio in terms of features and functions. One of the standout features of this scanner is its GPS-enabled scanning capabilities. This allows the scanner to automatically select nearby radio systems for scanning, making it incredibly convenient while I'm on the go. Another impressive aspect is its memory expansion, which enables it to hold up to 9,000 channels with up to 500 channels per trunked system. This means I can store a wide variety of frequencies and quickly switch between them. However, the user manual could use some improvements. It's not very user-friendly, and Uniden should provide better documentation to help new users understand the scanner's capabilities. Additionally, some users might find the complexity of the radio initially overwhelming. But once you familiarize yourself with the scanner, its vast array of features becomes more accessible. The Bear Tracker also comes with a variety of accessories, such as an AC adapter, DC power adapter, power cord, and a 3-wire DC power cord. It's a significant investment, but the performance and features make it a worthwhile purchase for those who want an analog scanner with advanced capabilities and GPS support.

Imagine a crisp morning, the cold air on your face, and the feeling of anticipation as you take the first shot – this is the experience you get with the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube. As someone who loves testing high-quality hunting gear, I was eager to try this new addition to my arsenal. I installed the tube wrench-free and smooth, the promise of a perfect shot becoming more palpable.
The first thing I noticed was the precision-machined, heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel; it felt solid in my hands, giving me confidence in its durability. The. 725 diameter tube offered a more dense pattern, and the Triple Shot Technology made every shot count. However, I also noticed the reduction of flyers, which was a pleasant surprise.
Several times during the hunt, I found myself wishing for a little more range, but the 25% longer parallel section helped me to create tighter patterns and get those birds that others had missed. Although the product didn't come with a wrench, the wrench-less installation and quick removal was a game-changer for those on the move.
Using the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube has been a satisfying experience, and I can easily say it's worth the investment. With its precise machining and high-quality materials, it has become a reliable companion in my hunting adventures.

The Primos Jellyhead TSS Mobile. 410 choke tube has been a game-changer in my turkey hunting adventures. At first, I was skeptical about the hype surrounding the TSS load, but once I tried it out, I couldn't believe the difference it made in my hunting success.
The super-tight and evenly spread pattern of the TSS Jelly Head allowed me to land shots that I could have only dreamed of before. Installing and removing the choke tubes without any tools was a breeze, which made my life as a hunter a lot easier. I truly appreciate that the TSS choke tubes cater specifically to the TSS load, making my turkey hunting experience even more enjoyable.
Despite the incredible results I've seen, there is one aspect of the TSS Jelly Head that I think could use improvement. The extended length, while convenient, tends to snag on branches and other foliage more often than the flush-mounted ones. However, this inconvenience is outweighed by the benefits of the TSS load and the incredible accuracy that the Jelly Head provides.
Overall, the Primos TSS Jelly Head Choke Tubes are a must-have for any serious turkey hunter. Their accuracy and ease of use make them a worthy addition to any hunting arsenal.
https://preview.redd.it/zjdmvo3ndw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85d6a866d8e786f996f4cd7f322e3c8c9fecfd30
When I first heard about the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Tube Assembly, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm always on the lookout for ways to enhance my Stoeger Condor shotgun's performance, and this seemed like just the ticket.
The installation process was a breeze, and I was impressed with how seamlessly it fit into my gun. The quality was top-notch, and it definitely met or even exceeded the OEM standards. I must say, the difference in the gun's performance was palpable. The gun felt smoother, and the shots were tighter and more controlled.
However, one downside that I noticed was that it made the gun a bit louder than it used to be. But all things considered, the benefits definitely outweighed the noise. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any Stoeger Condor user looking to bump up their gun's performance.
https://preview.redd.it/3isi9pcndw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54ab5399003fbe5e93a0e8b61ae309c79f482adf
I've been using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush for a while now, and it has certainly met my expectations. The full choke construction and the. 590 diameter proved to be quite reliable when using steel shot. It's been a game-changer for me, especially when going for long-range shots. The best part is that it's compatible with quite a few shotguns, including Stoeger Condor Tube.
Of course, there are always a few things I wish were different. For one, the steel and stainless design could use a little more durability. I've had some issues with it wearing out over time. Also, while the full choke does a good job with a wide range of shots, I've found that it could use a little more precision for the really tight shots.
But overall, despite those minor issues, I've had a great experience using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush in my daily life. It's a solid addition to any hunting arsenal, especially if you're looking for a reliable full choke that works well with steel shot.

I recently gave Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga a shot during my daily shooting practice. I was initially drawn to its sleek, extended stainless steel design and the improved cylinder mobil choke. It worked wonders on my Stoeger Condor.
The choke tube was incredibly easy to install, and I appreciated the MOBIL thread pattern that ensured a tight, secure fit. Not only did it offer a reliable performance, but it also allowed for great versatility, perfect for adjusting my shot pattern to fit different targets.
However, one downside I encountered was the choke tube's tendency to get quite hot, especially during extended shooting sessions. It might be worth considering a heat-resistant material for future designs. Overall, Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga proved to be a game-changer for my Stoeger Condor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience.
https://preview.redd.it/nki2yg6odw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=109af95818b55579618af4b5ab11e27d431d62be
I recently had the chance to try out the Primos Jellyhead TSS Invector. 410. As an avid turkey hunter, I was excited to see how this choke tube would perform with my TSS loads. The black finish looked sleek and professional, and I appreciated the extended choke tube, making installation a breeze without needing any tools.
During my hunting sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my shot patterns, especially when using HEVI-Shot, Copper Plated, and Lead Shot. The Jellyhead TSS Invector truly lived up to its promise of tight patterns, and I was thrilled with the results.
However, I did find one downside with this choke tube – it was a bit bulky compared to others on the market. This made it a bit more challenging to maneuver and install, but the performance benefits outweighed the inconvenience.
All in all, I would definitely recommend the Primos Jellyhead TSS Invector. 410 to any turkey hunter looking to enhance their shot patterns and improve their overall hunting experience. Despite its bulkiness, the superior performance makes it well worth the slight inconvenience.
https://preview.redd.it/cswyb0dodw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff50c87592a31934801c98d14dd6399d586ebbac
Using the Scott Drake MCT001 in my daily life has been a game-changer. Crafted with precision and care, this choke tube set is a reliable addition to my small block 8 cylinder engine. The steel line material ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
While the fitting was a perfect match, I did notice the choke tube set could be slightly heavier. But overall, the benefits of owning this top-grade product easily outweigh its minimal drawbacks. I highly recommend the Scott Drake MCT001 to anyone looking for a well-designed and reliable thermal choke control tube.
https://preview.redd.it/1rsr70rodw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1375e96b4cbe675259de5f9161722b59eb66075
In my experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke, it's like having a trusty sidekick at your side while shooting. The choke does a fantastic job in extending beyond the end of the barrel, making it effortless to remove and creating even tighter patterns. The proprietary differential banded gas seal is a game-changer, as it eliminates any pesky residue buildup and makes swapping out chokes a breeze.
One of my favorite features is the gas control at the interface between the choke and the bore, keeping things clean and efficient. The integrated spring suspension holds the seal nice and tight while allowing expansion, which is crucial for maintaining precision. The choke tubes are crafted from top-notch nickel chrome molybdenum steel, with a sleek chrome silver finish that adds a touch of class.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows with this choke. It does have a rather lengthy 7.70-inch profile, which may be a bit of a stretch for some shooters. Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke has been nothing short of impressive, making it a go-to choice for my shooting adventures.
https://preview.redd.it/7ttys62pdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e675657b0c5d1a0f3a443a6bc7b237263321805
As someone who's used the Holley 45-224S choke conversion kit, I can say it's a smooth addition to any car with a Holley carburetor. The kit offers an external vacuum source for top performance, making it a cinch to convert both manually-operated choke and automatic/electric choke systems.
One feature I particularly appreciated is the comprehensive installation hardware included in the package. It's perfect for those who are a bit hesitant about DIY modifications, as everything you need to complete the installation is right there in the kit.
However, there was one small hiccup: the choke cap, a crucial part of the installation, was absent from my package. Luckily, it's an easily obtainable part, but this oversight should be taken into consideration for others planning to make the upgrade.
Lastly, I found the marketing description somewhat deceptive. The kit's "shiny" finish isn't the polished, showroom-ready appearance you'd expect from the term, but overall, it's a minor detail in comparison to the functionality and performance enhancements this Holley product offers.
https://preview.redd.it/wwzpjtbpdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78bad7e7fc3bdd7352f8ea77badad1ddd75c7e37
As a car enthusiast, I recently had the chance to test out the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS for my 1941 FL. Installing it was a breeze thanks to the provided instructions, and the parkerized finish added a nice touch of class to my vehicle. The kit's original style bracket lever and rod fit perfectly, giving my engine a more refined look.
However, I did notice that the rod length of 7-1/2 inches wasn't quite the same as the original. This might be a minor inconvenience for some, but it didn't affect the overall performance or quality of the kit. Overall, I'm impressed with the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS and would highly recommend it to fellow car enthusiasts looking for a hassle-free upgrade.
I recently had the chance to work with the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. This choke rod kit is perfect for those who own a Linkert carburetor. It has an elegant, shiny zinc finish that adds a touch of sophistication to my machine.
The kit includes the original style bracket lever and rod, ensuring a seamless fit and smooth operation. Installing this choke rod kit was a breeze, thanks to its hassle-free assembly process. Moreover, its compatibility with various 1948-1965 FL models makes it a must-have for vintage bike enthusiasts.
However, the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit isn't without its minor drawbacks. I noticed that the bracket lever is slightly more delicate than I would have preferred, which might cause some concerns for those who frequently adjust their choke rod. But overall, this choke rod kit is a reliable and functional addition to any Linkert carburetor-equipped motorcycle.
https://preview.redd.it/0up8sfoqdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2685c210a673018bfc9446f2ff6d4efedeb9b958
I recently tried out this Choke Lever Kit Dual, and it has made my life so much easier! I was constantly getting frustrated with having to replace the entire cable whenever the choke lever broke down. But with this nifty kit, I no longer need to deal with that hassle.
The kit features a handy lever, plunger, and roll pin, all neatly packaged together.

Imagine a crisp morning, the cold air on your face, and the feeling of anticipation as you take the first shot – this is the experience you get with the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube. As someone who loves testing high-quality hunting gear, I was eager to try this new addition to my arsenal. I installed the tube wrench-free and smooth, the promise of a perfect shot becoming more palpable.
The first thing I noticed was the precision-machined, heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel; it felt solid in my hands, giving me confidence in its durability. The. 725 diameter tube offered a more dense pattern, and the Triple Shot Technology made every shot count. However, I also noticed the reduction of flyers, which was a pleasant surprise.
Several times during the hunt, I found myself wishing for a little more range, but the 25% longer parallel section helped me to create tighter patterns and get those birds that others had missed. Although the product didn't come with a wrench, the wrench-less installation and quick removal was a game-changer for those on the move.
Using the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube has been a satisfying experience, and I can easily say it's worth the investment. With its precise machining and high-quality materials, it has become a reliable companion in my hunting adventures.

The Primos Jellyhead TSS Mobile. 410 choke tube has been a game-changer in my turkey hunting adventures. At first, I was skeptical about the hype surrounding the TSS load, but once I tried it out, I couldn't believe the difference it made in my hunting success.
The super-tight and evenly spread pattern of the TSS Jelly Head allowed me to land shots that I could have only dreamed of before. Installing and removing the choke tubes without any tools was a breeze, which made my life as a hunter a lot easier. I truly appreciate that the TSS choke tubes cater specifically to the TSS load, making my turkey hunting experience even more enjoyable.
Despite the incredible results I've seen, there is one aspect of the TSS Jelly Head that I think could use improvement. The extended length, while convenient, tends to snag on branches and other foliage more often than the flush-mounted ones. However, this inconvenience is outweighed by the benefits of the TSS load and the incredible accuracy that the Jelly Head provides.
Overall, the Primos TSS Jelly Head Choke Tubes are a must-have for any serious turkey hunter. Their accuracy and ease of use make them a worthy addition to any hunting arsenal.
🔗High-Quality Stoeger Condor Choke Tube Assembly for Better Performance

The installation process was a breeze, and I was impressed with how seamlessly it fit into my gun. The quality was top-notch, and it definitely met or even exceeded the OEM standards. I must say, the difference in the gun's performance was palpable. The gun felt smoother, and the shots were tighter and more controlled.
However, one downside that I noticed was that it made the gun a bit louder than it used to be. But all things considered, the benefits definitely outweighed the noise. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any Stoeger Condor user looking to bump up their gun's performance.
🔗Stoeger Condor Full Choke Tube with .590 Diameter
https://preview.redd.it/3isi9pcndw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54ab5399003fbe5e93a0e8b61ae309c79f482adf
I've been using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush for a while now, and it has certainly met my expectations. The full choke construction and the. 590 diameter proved to be quite reliable when using steel shot. It's been a game-changer for me, especially when going for long-range shots. The best part is that it's compatible with quite a few shotguns, including Stoeger Condor Tube.
Of course, there are always a few things I wish were different. For one, the steel and stainless design could use a little more durability. I've had some issues with it wearing out over time. Also, while the full choke does a good job with a wide range of shots, I've found that it could use a little more precision for the really tight shots.
But overall, despite those minor issues, I've had a great experience using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush in my daily life. It's a solid addition to any hunting arsenal, especially if you're looking for a reliable full choke that works well with steel shot.

I recently gave Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga a shot during my daily shooting practice. I was initially drawn to its sleek, extended stainless steel design and the improved cylinder mobil choke. It worked wonders on my Stoeger Condor.
The choke tube was incredibly easy to install, and I appreciated the MOBIL thread pattern that ensured a tight, secure fit. Not only did it offer a reliable performance, but it also allowed for great versatility, perfect for adjusting my shot pattern to fit different targets.
However, one downside I encountered was the choke tube's tendency to get quite hot, especially during extended shooting sessions. It might be worth considering a heat-resistant material for future designs. Overall, Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga proved to be a game-changer for my Stoeger Condor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience.
🔗Turkey Hevi Shot Extended Choke Tube .410 Gauge

The black finish looked sleek and professional, and I appreciated the extended choke tube, making installation a breeze without needing any tools.
During my hunting sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my shot patterns, especially when using HEVI-Shot, Copper Plated, and Lead Shot. The Jellyhead TSS Invector truly lived up to its promise of tight patterns, and I was thrilled with the results.
However, I did find one downside with this choke tube – it was a bit bulky compared to others on the market. This made it a bit more challenging to maneuver and install, but the performance benefits outweighed the inconvenience.
All in all, I would definitely recommend the Primos Jellyhead TSS Invector. 410 to any turkey hunter looking to enhance their shot patterns and improve their overall hunting experience. Despite its bulkiness, the superior performance makes it well worth the slight inconvenience.

Using the Scott Drake MCT001 in my daily life has been a game-changer. Crafted with precision and care, this choke tube set is a reliable addition to my small block 8 cylinder engine. The steel line material ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
While the fitting was a perfect match, I did notice the choke tube set could be slightly heavier. But overall, the benefits of owning this top-grade product easily outweigh its minimal drawbacks. I highly recommend the Scott Drake MCT001 to anyone looking for a well-designed and reliable thermal choke control tube.
🔗Invector DS Choke Tube: Efficient and Easy-to-Install Tristar Shotgun Choke
https://preview.redd.it/1rsr70rodw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1375e96b4cbe675259de5f9161722b59eb66075
In my experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke, it's like having a trusty sidekick at your side while shooting. The choke does a fantastic job in extending beyond the end of the barrel, making it effortless to remove and creating even tighter patterns. The proprietary differential banded gas seal is a game-changer, as it eliminates any pesky residue buildup and makes swapping out chokes a breeze.
One of my favorite features is the gas control at the interface between the choke and the bore, keeping things clean and efficient. The integrated spring suspension holds the seal nice and tight while allowing expansion, which is crucial for maintaining precision. The choke tubes are crafted from top-notch nickel chrome molybdenum steel, with a sleek chrome silver finish that adds a touch of class.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows with this choke. It does have a rather lengthy 7.70-inch profile, which may be a bit of a stretch for some shooters. Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke has been nothing short of impressive, making it a go-to choice for my shooting adventures.
🔗Electric Choke Conversion Kit for Holley Carburetors

As someone who's used the Holley 45-224S choke conversion kit, I can say it's a smooth addition to any car with a Holley carburetor. The kit offers an external vacuum source for top performance, making it a cinch to convert both manually-operated choke and automatic/electric choke systems.
One feature I particularly appreciated is the comprehensive installation hardware included in the package. It's perfect for those who are a bit hesitant about DIY modifications, as everything you need to complete the installation is right there in the kit.
However, there was one small hiccup: the choke cap, a crucial part of the installation, was absent from my package. Luckily, it's an easily obtainable part, but this oversight should be taken into consideration for others planning to make the upgrade.
Lastly, I found the marketing description somewhat deceptive. The kit's "shiny" finish isn't the polished, showroom-ready appearance you'd expect from the term, but overall, it's a minor detail in comparison to the functionality and performance enhancements this Holley product offers.
🔗Replica Choke Rod Kit for V-Twin Engines

As a car enthusiast, I recently had the chance to test out the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS for my 1941 FL. Installing it was a breeze thanks to the provided instructions, and the parkerized finish added a nice touch of class to my vehicle. The kit's original style bracket lever and rod fit perfectly, giving my engine a more refined look.
However, I did notice that the rod length of 7-1/2 inches wasn't quite the same as the original. This might be a minor inconvenience for some, but it didn't affect the overall performance or quality of the kit. Overall, I'm impressed with the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS and would highly recommend it to fellow car enthusiasts looking for a hassle-free upgrade.

Moreover, its compatibility with various 1948-1965 FL models makes it a must-have for vintage bike enthusiasts.

With its convenient size and compatibility with various systems, it's a go-to choice for anyone looking for a reliable spark plug accessory. 🔗Precision-Machined Stoeger Condor Choke Tube for Enhanced Pattern Densityhttps://preview.redd.it/hyh3qo7mdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77577d4d6621b169df2c1be59a45e16fa0cfa58d Imagine a crisp morning, the cold air on your face, and the feeling of anticipation as you take the first shot – this is the experience you get with the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube. As someone who loves testing high-quality hunting gear, I was eager to try this new addition to my arsenal. I installed the tube wrench-free and smooth, the promise of a perfect shot becoming more palpable. The first thing I noticed was the precision-machined, heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel; it felt solid in my hands, giving me confidence in its durability. The. 725 diameter tube offered a more dense pattern, and the Triple Shot Technology made every shot count. However, I also noticed the reduction of flyers, which was a pleasant surprise. Several times during the hunt, I found myself wishing for a little more range, but the 25% longer parallel section helped me to create tighter patterns and get those birds that others had missed. Although the product didn't come with a wrench, the wrench-less installation and quick removal was a game-changer for those on the move. Using the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube has been a satisfying experience, and I can easily say it's worth the investment. With its precise machining and high-quality materials, it has become a reliable companion in my hunting adventures. 🔗Premium Hunting Choke Tube for .410 Shotgunshttps://preview.redd.it/3q91cnnmdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2dc6f7a5c5ba596a2676fba4b80bc03c1707fa4 The Primos Jellyhead TSS Mobile. 410 choke tube has been a game-changer in my turkey hunting adventures. At first, I was skeptical about the hype surrounding the TSS load, but once I tried it out, I couldn't believe the difference it made in my hunting success. The super-tight and evenly spread pattern of the TSS Jelly Head allowed me to land shots that I could have only dreamed of before. Installing and removing the choke tubes without any tools was a breeze, which made my life as a hunter a lot easier. I truly appreciate that the TSS choke tubes cater specifically to the TSS load, making my turkey hunting experience even more enjoyable. Despite the incredible results I've seen, there is one aspect of the TSS Jelly Head that I think could use improvement. The extended length, while convenient, tends to snag on branches and other foliage more often than the flush-mounted ones. However, this inconvenience is outweighed by the benefits of the TSS load and the incredible accuracy that the Jelly Head provides. Overall, the Primos TSS Jelly Head Choke Tubes are a must-have for any serious turkey hunter. Their accuracy and ease of use make them a worthy addition to any hunting arsenal. 🔗High-Quality Stoeger Condor Choke Tube Assembly for Better Performancehttps://preview.redd.it/zjdmvo3ndw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85d6a866d8e786f996f4cd7f322e3c8c9fecfd30 When I first heard about the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Tube Assembly, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm always on the lookout for ways to enhance my Stoeger Condor shotgun's performance, and this seemed like just the ticket. The installation process was a breeze, and I was impressed with how seamlessly it fit into my gun. The quality was top-notch, and it definitely met or even exceeded the OEM standards. I must say, the difference in the gun's performance was palpable. The gun felt smoother, and the shots were tighter and more controlled. However, one downside that I noticed was that it made the gun a bit louder than it used to be. But all things considered, the benefits definitely outweighed the noise. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any Stoeger Condor user looking to bump up their gun's performance. 🔗Stoeger Condor Full Choke Tube with .590 Diameterhttps://preview.redd.it/3isi9pcndw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54ab5399003fbe5e93a0e8b61ae309c79f482adf I've been using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush for a while now, and it has certainly met my expectations. The full choke construction and the. 590 diameter proved to be quite reliable when using steel shot. It's been a game-changer for me, especially when going for long-range shots. The best part is that it's compatible with quite a few shotguns, including Stoeger Condor Tube. Of course, there are always a few things I wish were different. For one, the steel and stainless design could use a little more durability. I've had some issues with it wearing out over time. Also, while the full choke does a good job with a wide range of shots, I've found that it could use a little more precision for the really tight shots. But overall, despite those minor issues, I've had a great experience using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush in my daily life. It's a solid addition to any hunting arsenal, especially if you're looking for a reliable full choke that works well with steel shot. 🔗Iver Johnson 20ga.

I was initially drawn to its sleek, extended stainless steel design and the improved cylinder mobil choke. It worked wonders on my Stoeger Condor. The choke tube was incredibly easy to install, and I appreciated the MOBIL thread pattern that ensured a tight, secure fit. Not only did it offer a reliable performance, but it also allowed for great versatility, perfect for adjusting my shot pattern to fit different targets. However, one downside I encountered was the choke tube's tendency to get quite hot, especially during extended shooting sessions. It might be worth considering a heat-resistant material for future designs. Overall, Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga proved to be a game-changer for my Stoeger Condor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience. 🔗Turkey Hevi Shot Extended Choke Tube .410 Gaugehttps://preview.redd.it/nki2yg6odw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=109af95818b55579618af4b5ab11e27d431d62be I recently had the chance to try out the Primos Jellyhead TSS Invector. 410. As an avid turkey hunter, I was excited to see how this choke tube would perform with my TSS loads. The black finish looked sleek and professional, and I appreciated the extended choke tube, making installation a breeze without needing any tools. During my hunting sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my shot patterns, especially when using HEVI-Shot, Copper Plated, and Lead Shot. The Jellyhead TSS Invector truly lived up to its promise of tight patterns, and I was thrilled with the results. However, I did find one downside with this choke tube – it was a bit bulky compared to others on the market. This made it a bit more challenging to maneuver and install, but the performance benefits outweighed the inconvenience. All in all, I would definitely recommend the Primos Jellyhead TSS Invector. 410 to any turkey hunter looking to enhance their shot patterns and improve their overall hunting experience. Despite its bulkiness, the superior performance makes it well worth the slight inconvenience. 🔗High-Quality Small Block Choke Tube Set for 8-Cylinder Engineshttps://preview.redd.it/cswyb0dodw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff50c87592a31934801c98d14dd6399d586ebbac Using the Scott Drake MCT001 in my daily life has been a game-changer. Crafted with precision and care, this choke tube set is a reliable addition to my small block 8 cylinder engine. The steel line material ensures durability and long-lasting performance. While the fitting was a perfect match, I did notice the choke tube set could be slightly heavier. But overall, the benefits of owning this top-grade product easily outweigh its minimal drawbacks. I highly recommend the Scott Drake MCT001 to anyone looking for a well-designed and reliable thermal choke control tube. 🔗Invector DS Choke Tube: Efficient and Easy-to-Install Tristar Shotgun Chokehttps://preview.redd.it/1rsr70rodw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1375e96b4cbe675259de5f9161722b59eb66075 In my experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke, it's like having a trusty sidekick at your side while shooting. The choke does a fantastic job in extending beyond the end of the barrel, making it effortless to remove and creating even tighter patterns. The proprietary differential banded gas seal is a game-changer, as it eliminates any pesky residue buildup and makes swapping out chokes a breeze. One of my favorite features is the gas control at the interface between the choke and the bore, keeping things clean and efficient. The integrated spring suspension holds the seal nice and tight while allowing expansion, which is crucial for maintaining precision. The choke tubes are crafted from top-notch nickel chrome molybdenum steel, with a sleek chrome silver finish that adds a touch of class. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows with this choke. It does have a rather lengthy 7.70-inch profile, which may be a bit of a stretch for some shooters. Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience with the Browning Invector DS Choke has been nothing short of impressive, making it a go-to choice for my shooting adventures. 🔗Electric Choke Conversion Kit for Holley Carburetorshttps://preview.redd.it/7ttys62pdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e675657b0c5d1a0f3a443a6bc7b237263321805 As someone who's used the Holley 45-224S choke conversion kit, I can say it's a smooth addition to any car with a Holley carburetor. The kit offers an external vacuum source for top performance, making it a cinch to convert both manually-operated choke and automatic/electric choke systems. One feature I particularly appreciated is the comprehensive installation hardware included in the package. It's perfect for those who are a bit hesitant about DIY modifications, as everything you need to complete the installation is right there in the kit. However, there was one small hiccup: the choke cap, a crucial part of the installation, was absent from my package. Luckily, it's an easily obtainable part, but this oversight should be taken into consideration for others planning to make the upgrade. Lastly, I found the marketing description somewhat deceptive. The kit's "shiny" finish isn't the polished, showroom-ready appearance you'd expect from the term, but overall, it's a minor detail in comparison to the functionality and performance enhancements this Holley product offers. 🔗Replica Choke Rod Kit for V-Twin Engineshttps://preview.redd.it/wwzpjtbpdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78bad7e7fc3bdd7352f8ea77badad1ddd75c7e37 As a car enthusiast, I recently had the chance to test out the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS for my 1941 FL. Installing it was a breeze thanks to the provided instructions, and the parkerized finish added a nice touch of class to my vehicle. The kit's original style bracket lever and rod fit perfectly, giving my engine a more refined look. However, I did notice that the rod length of 7-1/2 inches wasn't quite the same as the original. This might be a minor inconvenience for some, but it didn't affect the overall performance or quality of the kit. Overall, I'm impressed with the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit OS and would highly recommend it to fellow car enthusiasts looking for a hassle-free upgrade. 🔗V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit: Universal Fit for 410 WinChoke and Other Firearmshttps://preview.redd.it/rp9m5cppdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94a6ef93bd1249694c0899d37b57c08244e3f76c I recently had the chance to work with the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. This choke rod kit is perfect for those who own a Linkert carburetor. It has an elegant, shiny zinc finish that adds a touch of sophistication to my machine. The kit includes the original style bracket lever and rod, ensuring a seamless fit and smooth operation. Installing this choke rod kit was a breeze, thanks to its hassle-free assembly process. Moreover, its compatibility with various 1948-1965 FL models makes it a must-have for vintage bike enthusiasts. However, the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Rod Kit isn't without its minor drawbacks. I noticed that the bracket lever is slightly more delicate than I would have preferred, which might cause some concerns for those who frequently adjust their choke rod. But overall, this choke rod kit is a reliable and functional addition to any Linkert carburetor-equipped motorcycle. 🔗SP1 05-146-03 Choke Lever Kit Dual for Winchock Replacementhttps://preview.redd.it/0up8sfoqdw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2685c210a673018bfc9446f2ff6d4efedeb9b958 I recently tried out this Choke Lever Kit Dual, and it has made my life so much easier!

Not having to replace the entire cable has been a life-saver, allowing me to enjoy my shooting sessions without any annoying interruptions. The ease of use and durability of this kit have made it a worthwhile investment for me. However, like any product, there's always room for improvement. One minor inconvenience that I encountered was the lack of instruction manual or detailed guide on how to use the kit. I would have appreciated a guide to assist in the installation process.

2024.06.01 07:27 marshmallowfluffpuff Confused as to what's going on with my hand.
28 year old female, 5'7, 150 lb. I do have health problems but couldn't tell you what they are. Basically I don't heal from most of my injuries and no one's ever been able to help. I also think I have some deficiencies right now.
Alright so I never had issues with my hands until I was in a hospital stay and they never rotated my blood pressure cuff. I ended up getting a pinched nerve or something. For about a month my right hand was very weak and numb. It mostly recovered except my thumb still felt a little numb or in pain at times but otherwise I had full function.
I wish I just lived with it because I made a huge mistake of getting a nerve conduction test done on it. After the test I was getting electric shock pains through the hand. My fingers became very stiff and sore. The shocks went away but the fingers remained this way.
I began doing hand and finger stretches for them, which seemed to relieve the symptoms. The other night I was doing the stretches and I held one for a while (basically holding a tight fist) and there was a lot of tightness on the thumb side of my wrist. I stopped as I felt a very sharp pain in that spot.
That pain persisted for about 24 hours before moving into my thumb and causing numbness in my fingers. I went to the hospital where they took an X-ray but didn't help me at all. Gonna go see my doctor this week, but I'm pretty worried so wanted to make this post.
The pain has moved around the hand and is mostly in my wrist now. My wrist feels very weak. I'm guessing I over stretched the nerve that originally caused my issues in the first place? I dunno.
Legit all I was doing was hand stretches and now I can't use the hand from it. I'm keeping it in a splint and doing r.i.c.e. but it really feels terrible.
Anyone have any ideas what's going on or why I could have gotten such a bad injury from so little? My neurologist appt is all the way in December. Any suggestions on the type of doctor to go to in the meantime? Primary, orthopedist?

2024.06.01 07:27 AllstarGaming617 JUST SAY NO TO SEROQUEL FOR “INSOMNIA”. A cautionary tale with theory from an expert in pharmacokinetics at Harvard.
Long read
I had this originally written under a previous post asking about potential health effects of Quetiapine in this sub. I thought it might be a little much to blow up on someone else’s question. So here is my (long ass) experience and current investigation underway with my rheumatologist in Boston who was an adjunct professor and graduate from Harvard with an expertise in pharmacokinetics.
This will be a dumbed down version the best I can explain as layman with a mere masters degree in physical therapy. While I have a strong grasp of the concepts and language, I may get verbiage or premises incorrect but I believe this will read mostly correct. If you’re a medical professional or chemist, feel free to correct me. Im no writer and I’m sure this will be evident by poor grammar and run on sentences but I did try to do a quick proofread. It’s Reddit though, so…whatever lol.
This is a super individualized account to my neurobiology. Much of it will read as though I’m trying to scare off anyone from ever taking this medication. If you get through it, you’ll see that my doctor’s theory mostly shows the opposite, and the safety profile is extremely good. The people at the highest risk of suffering my fate, that is if he is even correct because this is still just a theory(but well backed) are people in the large cohort of patients being prescribed Quetiapine off label for sleeplessness or “insomnia” as a primary diagnoses.(Spoiler: insomnia is not a real diagnosis, it’s a secondary symptom and why the manufacturer warns physicians against prescribing for sleep).
Seroquel destroyed my life. Prescribed by a “Noctor”(mid level nurse playing with shit she doesn’t know thinking she’s as smart as a doctor) an insane dose of 300mg a night for simple nighttime induced anxiety that messed with my sleep.
This was after suffering an issue where I was on the road and didn’t sleep at all for 4 days. I was really struggling and my employer paid for me to see one of the top psychiatrists on the planet that works specifically with people in my industry(entertainment). We happened to be coming up for a stop in Nashville(where she practiced) and they setup the appointment. I had 6 hours with her where she walked me through the fallacy of insomnia as a primary diagnosis, and that I needed to find the physical or psychological root cause. 90%+ of “insomnia” is just a secondary symptom of mild anxiety with a nighttime onset. That is what she diagnosed me with. Simple anxiety that was triggered at night because my career was so mentally vigorous and non stop that all anxiety was building up with no where to be expressed other than the only time my mind wasn’t occupied by work…laying in bed.
She sent my diagnosis back to my primary in New England and wrote me a script for 8mg of Xanax a month with instructions that I had 2x1mg doses per week to utilize as an emergency med but the goal would be through therapy and self moderation of work to utilize the medication as little as possible.
When I got home from my work trip the only appointment I could get was with the Noctor as my primary physician was booked out for almost 2 months. She looked at the diagnosis from a world class psychiatrist and inserted her own biases about Xanax use under any circumstance being extremely dangerous. Even as an emergency or rescue medication taken a couple times a month. So she choose to nuke my fucking brain with a high daily dose powerful antipsychotic for some night time anxiety.
For a year it was fine other than a little weight gain. Wasn’t too bad for me though because I worked 16+ hours a day on the road 9 months a year.
Then the nightmares started. Like insane, traumatic, horrifically vivid nightmares that would make Stephen king blush. I’ve seen every person and pet I’ve ever know or loved, including myself murdered gruesomely in the most gorey ways in realistic acts of violence, accidents, as well as supernatural monstrous hell fuel.
I’d wake up soaked, covered in sweat and my back and neck would be sore from my entire body being contorted and stiff in terrible positions whilst waking up completely hypertensive due to the vivid hellscape I just awoke from that was indistinguishable from reality.
I went back to her and begged her to change it because I was no longer feeling like I was sleeping. I was just going from one world to another and waking up feeling like I was just in a car accident. She told me it was the only thing she prescribes for sleep because everything else is addicting and dangerous. So I tried to tough it out but after a few more weeks couldn’t take it anymore. I got another appointment and told her I was done whether she liked it or not. I wasn’t getting any rest and I’d wake up in pain like I was hit by truck. She then essentially threatened me. She told me the only way to get off it was to see the psychiatrist at my practice and told me if I went anywhere else she would flag me as a drug seeker. The first date available with that psychiatrist…6 months. So I set an appointment as early as possible with my actual physician(nearly 2 month wait) and figured I’d start weening myself off and by the time I saw my doctor I would be fully off or mostly off.
About 2 days later(I hadn’t even reduced my first dose yet so I was still on 300mg) I was hospitalized. I woke up from my normal nighttime alternate universe of horror completely immobile from my armpits up. I wasn’t numb, but I woke up with my head kinked under my right arm and bent almost completely around. Any movement felt like my spine from my upper thoracic all the way through my cervical spine was going to snap. My wife had to call an ambulance because it was not loosening up like it normally would. While the paramedics tried to board me from my bed I went into shock from the pain and went unconscious.
I woke up in the hospital a few hours later where I learned the doctors had to pump some drug into me that essentially made all of my muscles go completely limp in order to move me out of the position because my muscles were so rigid they couldn’t untwist me. The ER doc said he had never seen anything like it outside of some extreme situations of rigor mortis when someone was found dead in an awkward position and the body locked into that position.
Even once released from that position I felt like I had a knife in my neck. The ER called into my primary physician to update them and they moved my appointment up. In the days that followed my neck only got worse. I couldn’t stand, sit or lay in the same position. I obviously stopped Seroquel immediately. I spent all day flat on my back crying with my wife encasing me in and changing ice packs every 15 minutes. I was ready to kill my self the pain was so bad.
When I saw my doctor a couple days later we were going over my records and I emphasized this was a direct result of the Seroquel that I begged to come off several times because of the side effects and I had learned that even the drug manufacturer didn’t approve of it being used off-label for sleep. She was shocked I was being prescribed 300mg for sleep. I asked her that if she was shocked, why would she approve it considering she was the supervising physician for the noctor that prescribed it to me? She showed me the offices internal notes and the noctor has diagnosed me with mania and disassociation.
Like, WTF!?
There was no record in the practices notes of the diagnoses and recommendations from the psychiatrist I saw in Nashville other than “patient saw a “pill doctor” out of state”, “says he has “anxiety”.
Reading through her notes it essentially accused me of psychosis and drug seeking because I saw a doctor out of state that prescribed me a medication she didn’t agree with.
On my doctor’s end in her oversight of her nurses prescribing she just saw that she was prescribing a patient Seroquel for manic episodes, which is a standard course of action. She agreed that this was a horrible misjudgment, viewed the physical copies of the notes I brought home from Nashville, and immediately changed me to that physicians plan of Xanax as an emergency/rescue med vs 300mg of Seroquel daily.
It was too late though. The pain in my neck never went away. I couldn’t move, I was completely bed bound. The pain in my neck felt like I was wide awake whilst someone dissected my cervical spine with a rusty box opener. They sent me to “interventional pain management” where they then did more non-fda approved “healthcare” by repetitively injecting corticosteroids into my spine.
It only got worse and worse. The pain began to spread from my cervical spine, down into my thoracic spine. I started losing feeling in my arm. Then it was neurological medications like gabapentinoids, muscle relaxers, high dose NSAIDs, tricyclic antidepressants, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy etc…within 8 months that noctor was no longer employed at the office(I don’t officially know if it was from her destroying my life).
After about a year there was still no answers. I lost my job that I had busted my ass for over a decade climbing the industry ladder after getting and advanced degree, and was on the verge of losing my house because I was still completely bed bound 90% of the day.
My doctor out of desperation and lack of answers starts me on narcotic pain management. I had never once touched opioids outside of anesthesia inpatient surgeries related to sports injuries growing up. I was staunchly against the use of opioids outside of that setting. Other than some moderate cannabis use after college(when I was no longer being drug tested for the first time in 6 years) I was pretty brain washed by the drug war zealots. Now I’m a pariah. Both doctors and people in my social circles keep me at an arms length because people drank the koolaid and believe anyone taking an opioid must be a raging addict sucking dick for heroin.
I’ve managed to claw back and slow down the total collapse of my entire life because my pain is now controlled to about 60ish% by pain meds while I go doctor to doctor trying to figure this out. By working as a part time consultant in my industry I’m making just enough money to stop complete asset loss but I’m still eating into my retirement and investments. If it wasn’t for the fact that my wife makes a decent salary we’d already be homeless. Even then we’re hemorrhaging money and are likely going to have to sell our house. At 32 I was on track to retire by 50 and travel the world. Now at 37 I don’t know if I’ll be alive by this time at next year as the inflammation and connective tissue deterioration runs rampant.
Doctors absolutely hate and refuse to try and pin serious medical conditions on bad medical professionals or bad medication. I’ve been through every major “world famous” hospital system here in Boston and they’re willing to look for the answer everywhere accept where I’m telling them it started. Until a few months ago.
I hired a high profile private patient advocate. A woman who is a former internal medicine expert that was the lead in a department at Brigham with a PhD/MD from Harvard and her law degree from Cornell. She found me an expert here in Boston that is a rheumatologist who investigates pharmacokinetics. He produced several redacted papers by the patent holders on Seroquel that show them shutting down the research by a hired lab that found Tumor Necrosis Factor spikes in high doses of Seroquel administered to mice with normal neurological function. 3 other labs confirmed the research and wanted the medication held for retrial in humans.
TNF when not properly regulated by the immune system causes a cytokine storm attacking healthy tissue without the presence of disease/damaged tissue. This is the foundation of most autoimmune diseases.
Seroquel regulates various neurotransmission and endogenous processes in the brain when they are not at their normal levels. Even then the science isn’t perfect on it so often an SSRI is prescribed along side because SSRIs are better understood and it’s kind of a protection from the unknown actions of the Quetiapine(Seroquel).
If those neurotransmitters are functioning correctly and neurological function is fine, introducing something like Seroquel in high doses at constant intervals can be incredibly dangerous.
This is where the black box warnings and requests for bans from the manufacturer of seroquel about off label prescribing come from. They only reported redacted and halted research on TNF production increase associated with the drug because they only ever confirmed the research with mice.
This rheumatologist has essentially shown to me with pretty indisputable evidence that I’ve likely developed a severe medication induced autoimmune disease that is rapidly destroying the connective tissue in my spine and is now jumping to organs. It falls outside the diagnosis of any single autoimmune disease and can only really be classified as MAS(multiple autoimmune disease). Because the research papers are all heavily redacted and were never entered into peer review for final patenting and fda approval there is no case or action for me to bring.
Furthermore seroquel has a pretty high safety record because it’s statistically more normal to have an imbalance of the neurotransmitters that it regulates which means it’s rare to cause the reaction the research found with the mice. Most people have some form, even if mild, imbalance that most often goes without symptoms. But the manufacturers did know the consequences of introducing a high dosage of the compound to a perfectly balanced brain.
I fell into a perfect storm. My neurotransmission was such that a small dose of Seroquel daily likely wouldn’t have hurt me but it was as close to equilibrium that flooding it with a drug that regulates neurotransmission that I exhibited the same outcome as those mice forcing my immune system to drive up TNF production. There is a well known list of medications that can cause autoimmune diseases and the way the drug was patented and approved it escaped this labeling given the uncommon instances of the phenomenon.
I am now in the phase of trialing every biologic/TNF inhibitor known to man to try and get it under control before it completely disables me, or jumps to a vital organ and kills me.
This is still only a theory by an extremely educated expert in the field as autoimmune diseases and tumor necrosis factors are only recently in the last couple of decades becoming more understood. We got a more substantial confirmation that he is correct over the winter when I got my first case of Covid19. I rarely get sick. I am an extremely healthy person that exercises regularly(as much as possible through my pain now) as a former division 1 athlete and eats super clean and balanced. This was the first time since this began to see what my immune system did under duress.
My pain dropped by easily 50%. Meaning my immune system had something to do other than attack and inflame the healthy tissues in my joints and organs. While I felt like shit of course, my neurological pain dropped significantly. Within a week of recovering I had to increase my pain meds back to normal as everything became inflamed again.
The entire point of this rant is this: Seroquel is extremely dangerous…to a small population of people. This isn’t uncommon of most pharmaceuticals. It is a cautionary tale about the off label prescribing of this drug for sleep, and sleep only. DONT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN TO YOU.
If a psychiatrist, neurologist, or behavioral therapist has well documented diagnostics and evaluation that leads them to believe you have a significant neurological imbalance that leads to a true psychiatric diagnosis you will almost certainly be just fine with Quetiapine.
Unfortunately Seroquel is the most prescribed off-label sleep medication on the market. It needs to be stopped. The primary indication for Seroquel cannot be “insomnia”. The manufacturers tried to hide the pharmacokinetic reasons as to why, but they did black box it and request physicians not to prescribe it for such. Read the insert. Back, neck, and joint pain are all warnings to speak to your doctor immediately and this is why.

I had this originally written under a previous post asking about potential health effects of Quetiapine in this sub. I thought it might be a little much to blow up on someone else’s question. So here is my (long ass) experience and current investigation underway with my rheumatologist in Boston who was an adjunct professor and graduate from Harvard with an expertise in pharmacokinetics.
This will be a dumbed down version the best I can explain as layman with a mere masters degree in physical therapy. While I have a strong grasp of the concepts and language, I may get verbiage or premises incorrect but I believe this will read mostly correct. If you’re a medical professional or chemist, feel free to correct me. Im no writer and I’m sure this will be evident by poor grammar and run on sentences but I did try to do a quick proofread. It’s Reddit though, so…whatever lol.
This is a super individualized account to my neurobiology. Much of it will read as though I’m trying to scare off anyone from ever taking this medication. If you get through it, you’ll see that my doctor’s theory mostly shows the opposite, and the safety profile is extremely good. The people at the highest risk of suffering my fate, that is if he is even correct because this is still just a theory(but well backed) are people in the large cohort of patients being prescribed Quetiapine off label for sleeplessness or “insomnia” as a primary diagnoses.(Spoiler: insomnia is not a real diagnosis, it’s a secondary symptom and why the manufacturer warns physicians against prescribing for sleep).
Seroquel destroyed my life. Prescribed by a “Noctor”(mid level nurse playing with shit she doesn’t know thinking she’s as smart as a doctor) an insane dose of 300mg a night for simple nighttime induced anxiety that messed with my sleep.
This was after suffering an issue where I was on the road and didn’t sleep at all for 4 days. I was really struggling and my employer paid for me to see one of the top psychiatrists on the planet that works specifically with people in my industry(entertainment). We happened to be coming up for a stop in Nashville(where she practiced) and they setup the appointment. I had 6 hours with her where she walked me through the fallacy of insomnia as a primary diagnosis, and that I needed to find the physical or psychological root cause. 90%+ of “insomnia” is just a secondary symptom of mild anxiety with a nighttime onset. That is what she diagnosed me with. Simple anxiety that was triggered at night because my career was so mentally vigorous and non stop that all anxiety was building up with no where to be expressed other than the only time my mind wasn’t occupied by work…laying in bed.
She sent my diagnosis back to my primary in New England and wrote me a script for 8mg of Xanax a month with instructions that I had 2x1mg doses per week to utilize as an emergency med but the goal would be through therapy and self moderation of work to utilize the medication as little as possible.
When I got home from my work trip the only appointment I could get was with the Noctor as my primary physician was booked out for almost 2 months. She looked at the diagnosis from a world class psychiatrist and inserted her own biases about Xanax use under any circumstance being extremely dangerous. Even as an emergency or rescue medication taken a couple times a month. So she choose to nuke my fucking brain with a high daily dose powerful antipsychotic for some night time anxiety.
For a year it was fine other than a little weight gain. Wasn’t too bad for me though because I worked 16+ hours a day on the road 9 months a year.
Then the nightmares started. Like insane, traumatic, horrifically vivid nightmares that would make Stephen king blush. I’ve seen every person and pet I’ve ever know or loved, including myself murdered gruesomely in the most gorey ways in realistic acts of violence, accidents, as well as supernatural monstrous hell fuel.
I’d wake up soaked, covered in sweat and my back and neck would be sore from my entire body being contorted and stiff in terrible positions whilst waking up completely hypertensive due to the vivid hellscape I just awoke from that was indistinguishable from reality.
I went back to her and begged her to change it because I was no longer feeling like I was sleeping. I was just going from one world to another and waking up feeling like I was just in a car accident. She told me it was the only thing she prescribes for sleep because everything else is addicting and dangerous. So I tried to tough it out but after a few more weeks couldn’t take it anymore. I got another appointment and told her I was done whether she liked it or not. I wasn’t getting any rest and I’d wake up in pain like I was hit by truck. She then essentially threatened me. She told me the only way to get off it was to see the psychiatrist at my practice and told me if I went anywhere else she would flag me as a drug seeker. The first date available with that psychiatrist…6 months. So I set an appointment as early as possible with my actual physician(nearly 2 month wait) and figured I’d start weening myself off and by the time I saw my doctor I would be fully off or mostly off.
About 2 days later(I hadn’t even reduced my first dose yet so I was still on 300mg) I was hospitalized. I woke up from my normal nighttime alternate universe of horror completely immobile from my armpits up. I wasn’t numb, but I woke up with my head kinked under my right arm and bent almost completely around. Any movement felt like my spine from my upper thoracic all the way through my cervical spine was going to snap. My wife had to call an ambulance because it was not loosening up like it normally would. While the paramedics tried to board me from my bed I went into shock from the pain and went unconscious.
I woke up in the hospital a few hours later where I learned the doctors had to pump some drug into me that essentially made all of my muscles go completely limp in order to move me out of the position because my muscles were so rigid they couldn’t untwist me. The ER doc said he had never seen anything like it outside of some extreme situations of rigor mortis when someone was found dead in an awkward position and the body locked into that position.
Even once released from that position I felt like I had a knife in my neck. The ER called into my primary physician to update them and they moved my appointment up. In the days that followed my neck only got worse. I couldn’t stand, sit or lay in the same position. I obviously stopped Seroquel immediately. I spent all day flat on my back crying with my wife encasing me in and changing ice packs every 15 minutes. I was ready to kill my self the pain was so bad.
When I saw my doctor a couple days later we were going over my records and I emphasized this was a direct result of the Seroquel that I begged to come off several times because of the side effects and I had learned that even the drug manufacturer didn’t approve of it being used off-label for sleep. She was shocked I was being prescribed 300mg for sleep. I asked her that if she was shocked, why would she approve it considering she was the supervising physician for the noctor that prescribed it to me? She showed me the offices internal notes and the noctor has diagnosed me with mania and disassociation.
Like, WTF!?
There was no record in the practices notes of the diagnoses and recommendations from the psychiatrist I saw in Nashville other than “patient saw a “pill doctor” out of state”, “says he has “anxiety”.
Reading through her notes it essentially accused me of psychosis and drug seeking because I saw a doctor out of state that prescribed me a medication she didn’t agree with.
On my doctor’s end in her oversight of her nurses prescribing she just saw that she was prescribing a patient Seroquel for manic episodes, which is a standard course of action. She agreed that this was a horrible misjudgment, viewed the physical copies of the notes I brought home from Nashville, and immediately changed me to that physicians plan of Xanax as an emergency/rescue med vs 300mg of Seroquel daily.
It was too late though. The pain in my neck never went away. I couldn’t move, I was completely bed bound. The pain in my neck felt like I was wide awake whilst someone dissected my cervical spine with a rusty box opener. They sent me to “interventional pain management” where they then did more non-fda approved “healthcare” by repetitively injecting corticosteroids into my spine.
It only got worse and worse. The pain began to spread from my cervical spine, down into my thoracic spine. I started losing feeling in my arm. Then it was neurological medications like gabapentinoids, muscle relaxers, high dose NSAIDs, tricyclic antidepressants, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy etc…within 8 months that noctor was no longer employed at the office(I don’t officially know if it was from her destroying my life).
After about a year there was still no answers. I lost my job that I had busted my ass for over a decade climbing the industry ladder after getting and advanced degree, and was on the verge of losing my house because I was still completely bed bound 90% of the day.
My doctor out of desperation and lack of answers starts me on narcotic pain management. I had never once touched opioids outside of anesthesia inpatient surgeries related to sports injuries growing up. I was staunchly against the use of opioids outside of that setting. Other than some moderate cannabis use after college(when I was no longer being drug tested for the first time in 6 years) I was pretty brain washed by the drug war zealots. Now I’m a pariah. Both doctors and people in my social circles keep me at an arms length because people drank the koolaid and believe anyone taking an opioid must be a raging addict sucking dick for heroin.
I’ve managed to claw back and slow down the total collapse of my entire life because my pain is now controlled to about 60ish% by pain meds while I go doctor to doctor trying to figure this out. By working as a part time consultant in my industry I’m making just enough money to stop complete asset loss but I’m still eating into my retirement and investments. If it wasn’t for the fact that my wife makes a decent salary we’d already be homeless. Even then we’re hemorrhaging money and are likely going to have to sell our house. At 32 I was on track to retire by 50 and travel the world. Now at 37 I don’t know if I’ll be alive by this time at next year as the inflammation and connective tissue deterioration runs rampant.
