2024.05.20 08:05 Nervous-Love-1690 A Libra trying to understand a Capricorn lol
Hey everyone! This is my very first Reddit post so bare with me! Lol Just a libra f trying to understand a situation I’m in with a Capricorn m. I apologize in advance if it comes off so lengthy. But I’ve been talking to a Capricorn m for about a month and half now and everything was going AMAZING. This is my first time ever seeing a cap and I’m just so intrigued. I didn’t know I was missing out lol I absolutely love his active listening, communication, goal-oriented ways, and the list goes on. We have such a similar mindset and that’s probably the main reason I’m smitten so hard. (I’m also a Capricorn moon) but recently, we had a sudden turn in events. Back in December, his mother passed away. And this is something I was aware of from day one. He’s been very open about his mom’s passing and I’ve asked him how is he dealing with coping and he said he just doesn’t think or talk about it. But occasionally, he brings it up randomly with me whether it’s a song or memory that reminds him of her…
So we had made plans to hang out but I didn’t think he realized that he had made plans to hang out with me the weekend of Mother’s Day…I end up bringing it up to him and he didn’t realize it was Mother’s Day weekend either. Considering how new we are to each other, I didn’t know if he still wanted to see me but to my surprise he did. He was just going to spend the Sunday with his dad after we were done (we’re like a 2hr distance from each other so we try to spend as much time as possible).
He came down to my city and we had such an amazing weekend together. We were very transparent with each other bout varied topics like family, love, past experiences, and what we want in the future. It was filled with sooo much love and amazing feelings. We had already established that we were exclusively talking to each other too. It just felt like a very safe place at the time. We had so much fun! So it’s Mother’s Day, and I already know it’s gonna be a tough day. I honestly didn’t know how to even bring it up. So I didn’t. But I wrote him a card (which I’m still contemplating if that was even the right thing to do) Basically just saying that he’s amazing and that I’m here if he needs someone to talk too about anything. Just trying…to be comforting during a day that I knew he was going to struggle with.
We part ways. But still talk throughout the day. Unfortunately, he ends up spending the day alone because his dad ended up catching Covid. He thanks me for the card. That it got him teared up. Saying no one has checked in on him regarding Mother’s Day. That I was the only one that wished his mom a heavenly Mother’s Day…and that’s when I asked him how is he doing? And he said not good. That he couldn’t stay on the phone at that moment. So we hang up, which is absolutely fine with me, reassuring him that he can reach out whenever. And he does. For at least the next two days.
Things seemed fine up until Tuesday. We had our normal conversations, he asked me how was my Mother’s Day. Everything felt ok. But when I texted him the next morning, I never got a reply. This man hasn’t missed a day since we started. I figured he’s probably still going through the motions of Mother’s Day, but me being the Libra I am, I start to think it’s personal & I freak out. So I text him the next day basically stating if we were done. That it’s ok to have a change of heart. And he ended up replying saying that he didn’t have a change of heart. He was just trying to navigate through his emotions. That he hasn’t been able to give much the last couple days and that he was sorry for not being so communicative the last 40 hrs (he really counted the hours).
I replied saying that I understand and just reminding him I’m here if he needs anything. And that I care and he doesn’t have to do things alone. And that I was glad he hasn’t had a change of heart. And we haven’t spoken since. I just feel like I’m on a standstill now. I’m trying hard not to think that I did something wrong but it’s difficult not to if there’s no communication happening. Do I wait or just take this as a sign he just doesn’t want to continue seeing me? Should I check in or wait till he makes a move? Should I ask him if we’re done again? Is this Capricorn behavior to just retreat? Lol i just feel so lost with what’s going on. It feels like the ultimate ghosting. But thank you for reading this far!

Hey everyone,
I've Bipolar 2 and take meds for this and have been working out for at least 45 minutes every day for the last few months, eating clean from one month, and following intermittent fasting, but I'm not seeing any weight loss. It's really frustrating because I'm putting in so much effort and sticking to my routine. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

2024.05.20 08:02 zuludog Lose it vs MyFitnessPal weight loss calorie number
So both programs have given me a different number Lose it = 1851 MyFitnessPal = 1700
Which number as a 41 year old, 82kg, 166cm tall guy should I use.
I have high cholesterol so I am trying to get the number down, I cycle to work 20km each way two times a week and have started Body weight fitness 3 times a week.
Would 1700 be to low?

2024.05.20 08:00 HowToCook40Humans I truly worry about the internet taking away the last remnants of people understanding reality from fiction
I know for years people have argued that "the internet is not reality" but now more than ever, there is a push to blur these lines to an insane degree and if you don't understand what goes on behind the scenes, you may not know what you're watching is fake. For those of us who did not grow up on an internet full of influencers, blatant and non-blatant advertisements, etc. it's very obvious when what's being portrayed isn't reality but even so, sometimes the information in front of us seems so believable that almost anyone can/will fall for it. I really worry about young GenZ/Gen Alpha who's internet experience is ONLY this current internet without adult experiences/understanding to sort through the bullshit.
Since these topics are quickly brushed off as only "terminally online" worries, I'll give examples I've seen so far. I will preface this by saying I acknowledge some of the comments I'll reference could be AI/bots/paid for comments but some of these sentiments I've seen here on Reddit/Instagram/Twitter that I can't only attribute it to purposeful misinformation.
Example 1: The realities of weight loss. Years ago, it used to not be uncommon for "health coaches"/"influencers"/etc to pop up on IG showing themselves losing a lot of weight. At this time, they'd claim they didn't change their diet and they barely exercise. But they still claim to have lost 100+lbs in a year or less in less time. Looking back, they used the lack of popularity in weight loss surgeries to their advantage. They could ask you to DM them and rope you into whatever they had because everyone didn't know about weight loss surgery like they do now. The reality is that they likely lost that weight over 1.5-2 years, scrubbed their IG and rebranded. Even without changing their diet (which I don't think really is true), they'd lose weight because they physically can't eat. Joe Smoe will not lose weight eating whatever with no thought and no exercise. Now, these people either promote weight loss surgery as the only way to lose weight or they try to deny it until it's called out and they do damage control. And of course, the people who lie and use other people's photos.
Regardless, I've noticed comments on people documenting their day one to weight loss being inundated with "If you ate like that, you wouldn't still be fat", "It's no way you go to the gym and still look like that". These accounts are usually younger kids who don't understand fitness and nutrition and calories in vs calories out. But I see adults doing it too. We've made weight loss look so fast that the people who are documenting their true journey/struggles are met with skepticism vs those that show a polished image.
Next example: I've started seeing these "Saving $xx,xxx by age x" reels. The few I see are realistic. It's usually someone working a full time job then a part time job with long hours. They line up how they're going to do it in the caption. But also, I saw one by this woman claiming she's going to save $100k by 23. She claims to have graduated college at 21 and travelled through college and still does. She let it slip that she isn't paying for a single living expense. But someone watching this likely isn't going through the comments. Young impressionable kids will not understand taxes, the average American income, etc. They'll think getting 2 jobs can have them save $100k in a very short amount of time and when they get hit with reality and their mental health worsens.
This is rambly at this point but my main point is that it seems the media on the internet is trying to blur the line of reality and fantasy by bombarding impressionable people with media that is highly tailored to look and seem like something anyone could do if you just try.

2024.05.20 07:57 VisualCurrency6463 How ibs is diagnosed?
My doc diagnosed me rigjt away with ibs without any test. Went to another speclist , he also said i was ibs and gave me ibs related medications. I had no pain , just bloating and mushy stools once in a day . I got worse at one time , i had loss of appetide, weight loss of 6 kgs, acid reflux, fatigue.I search on google and though it is gastritis or ibd... So asked specialist to do test... He asked for cbc , lfts and ultrasound . All normal... Butt i really wanted it to be something acute...my symptoms weren't getting better.... Doc asked for tsh bcz i had palpitations too... These were normal too.At last he said for stool for calprotectin to rule out ibd and it was also normal... I don't have many ibs symptoms... just two maybe.. Nor ibs related medication worked on me...Arre all these blood and stool test sufficiant to diagnose anyone with ibs.

2024.05.20 07:52 Imaginary_Sky_518 Bariatric Surgery vs glp1 medication?
Hi all,
I’ve battled with my weight all my life. The last 2-3 years I stacked on 30kg/66 lb. Partially due to perimenopause and partially IR.
For the last 3months I’ve been on saxenda and it’s going ok. I’ve lost 10kg in that time but it’s slowing right down and I’m now just losing roughly about 1/2kg or 1lb a week. My doc and dietitian are happy with this, but I’m on the highest dose and I’m terrified that it will stop working for me. I still have about 20kg to lose.
Both my doc and dietitian have raised weight loss / bariatric surgery as an option. My mum has type 2 diabetes, cancer and early onset dementia, my dad has heart issues and both are morbidly obese. I’m determined to not suffer the same fate.
So now I’m really thinking about a plan. I have the option of sticking with saxenda, switching to mounjaro or having WLS - a gastric sleeve or bypass. My doc is supportive of whatever I want to do.
So my IR friends, anyone been in this situation? What did you do? Is one better than the others for IR and weight loss in particular?
Would love to hear your thoughts! ❤️

just wanted to come on here and share how exciting it is to see those numbers drop. i just started my second box of 2.5mg td n although it has been slow and steady for me (lost around 6lbs) it honestly is so comforting. been eating right, going to gym, and i for once feel so hopeful for the future. not to mention i have pcos as well and being able to see some weight loss is just so amazing!! can’t wait for the future 👏

2024.05.20 07:39 TheSilentVorteX RuneScape (Gielinor) Map is small.
With updates like Archaeology and various others, the RuneScape (Gielinor) map is getting more and more crowded (zoom all the way out of your minimap), with everything gradually merging into one massive city, and the current cities, towns, and villages morphing into suburbs. Consequently, there's a loss of the sense of distance and vastness. With more future updates, it's likely that more space will be used, making the world denser and denser. It'd be helpful to:
BONUS IDEA:
While there are memes and jokes about the "Sailing" skill, what if it were actually possible to implement? Building on the island concept mentioned earlier:
submitted by TheSilentVorteX to runescape [link] [comments]
- To steer clear of RuneScape becoming overwhelmed by doors and portals, it's crucial to diversify how new content is introduced. This involves exploring alternative access methods that don't heavily rely on additional doorways or teleportation mechanisms. By doing so, we preserve the immersive nature of exploration and travel across the game world, ensuring a more balanced and engaging player experience.
- Utilise non-instanced islands, dedicating each one to specific content. For instance, an island like 'Island Death' could exclusively host the war retreat, while each island could have its own weather and excavation site for Archaeology. Even if Jagex increases the land size, it'd just be one big boring island, so it'd be better to break it into different islands or a combination of both.
- We can maintain the existing teleportation methods, such as lodestones, teleportation spells, and other transportation methods. The focus would primarily be on expanding and enriching the remaining areas of the map, providing players with additional exploration and gameplay options without replacing existing conveniences. This approach ensures a balanced and seamless integration of new content while preserving the accessibility and familiarity of the current transportation systems in RuneScape.
BONUS IDEA:
While there are memes and jokes about the "Sailing" skill, what if it were actually possible to implement? Building on the island concept mentioned earlier:
- Island Travel: Players can travel between islands (not instanced), enhancing the sense of vastness in RuneScape and providing endless possibilities for future updates. Can move existing content onto its own island, thus freeing up space on the map.
- Construction Skills: Players can utilize their construction skills to construct and maintain/repair their ships, earning construction XP in the process.
- Sailing Level Benefits: Higher sailing levels result in faster travel times and fewer repairs needed for the ship.
- Construction Level Benefits: Higher construction levels enable faster repairs and the use of better ship materials, reducing repair requirements.
- Uncharted Islands: Between islands, there could be random, uncharted, and unclaimable islands with random loot (good or bad), giving players the option to explore or bypass them.
- Ports Resources: Higher sailing levels yield more Ports resources from each ship sent out, with faster ship returns per voyage.
- Player-Owned Ports: Players can use their own Player-Owned Ports as a home and repair base, enhancing the personalization and functionality of their gameplay.
- Clan-Owned Island: Rather than a Clan Citadel, the concept could be moved to an island, providing a unique and thematic setting for clan activities.
- Player-Owned House: Player-Owned Houses could be moved to the Player-Owned Island, offering ocean views and opportunities to expand construction skills by building on the land surrounding the house, such as sheds, pools, gazebos, etc., instead of the traditional square plot of land in the void.
2024.05.20 07:34 Neither_Wallaby_9033 Is this loose skin or fat ?
I am confused rn. My skin is like a old man. Arms, chest, tummy everything feels like it's loose. I am not sure if it is a fat or losse skin. What is this and what should I do to get in shape ? People tell that I am not fat but skin is not proper. I lost my weight before 2 years maybe that caused this ?

2024.05.20 07:25 kidfromtheast Is there a tutorial to create your own PyTorch Module (Linear), Loss (Least Squares), and Optimizer (Gradient Descent)?
Hi, my intention is to prepare myself for the upcoming academic year on September.
I want to have the ability to write my own PyTorch's Module, Loss, and Optimizer. I intend to start easy with Module (Linear), Loss (Least Squares) and Optimizer (Gradient Descent).
My goal is to implement: 1. LeastSquares loss which subclass the torch.nn.modules.loss._Loss class. 2. GradientDescent optimizer which subclass the torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer class. 2. Cubic Polynomial module which subclass the torch.nn.Module class.
What I've tried: 1. Read Learning PyTorch with Examples
The Learning PyTorch with Examples teach how to define autograd functions. This became a dedicated StackOverflow question
The rest of the examples teach how to use existing Loss function (such as torch.nn.MSELoss), Optimizer (such as torch.optim.SGD) and Module (such as torch.nn.Linear).
After spending a day. I am confused on how torch.nn.modules.loss._Loss, torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, and torch.nn.Module works. Is there a tutorial how to create your own PyTorch Loss, Optimizer, and Module?
The code below is trying to mimic PyTorch. But, I don't know how optimizer.zero_grad(), loss.backward(), and optimizer.step() can update the model.parameters(). So, I put everything in 1 class.
I am open to learn the design pattern and so on. Please point me to the right direction.
``` import numpy as np import math import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
class Module: pass
class CubicPolynomial(Module): a: np.float64 b: np.float64 c: np.float64 d: np.float64
learning_rate: np.float64
def init(self, learning_rate=1e-6) -> None: self.a = np.random.randn() self.b = np.random.randn() self.c = np.random.randn() self.d = np.random.randn()
def loss_ln(self, y_pred: np.ndarray, y: np.ndarray) -> np.float64: return ((y_pred - y) ** 2).sum()
def zero_grad(self) -> None: # Manually zero the gradients after updating weights self.grad_a = None self.grad_b = None self.grad_c = None self.grad_d = None
def backward(self, y_pred: np.ndarray) -> None: # Backprop to compute gradients of a, b, c, d with respect to loss grad_y_pred = 2.0 * (y_pred - y) # d/da (y_pred - y)² # 2 * (y_pred - y) self.grad_a = grad_y_pred.sum()
dtype = np.float64
plt.plot(x, y, 'blue')
learning_rate = 1e-6 model = CubicPolynomial(learning_rate=learning_rate)
for t in range(2000): # Forward pass: compute predicted y y_pred = model(x)
# Compute and print loss loss = model.loss_ln(y_pred, y) if t % 100 == 99: print(t, loss)
# Before the backward pass, use the optimizer object to zero all of the # gradients for the variables it will update (which are the learnable # weights of the model).

I want to have the ability to write my own PyTorch's Module, Loss, and Optimizer. I intend to start easy with Module (Linear), Loss (Least Squares) and Optimizer (Gradient Descent).
My goal is to implement: 1. LeastSquares loss which subclass the torch.nn.modules.loss._Loss class. 2. GradientDescent optimizer which subclass the torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer class. 2. Cubic Polynomial module which subclass the torch.nn.Module class.
What I've tried: 1. Read Learning PyTorch with Examples
The Learning PyTorch with Examples teach how to define autograd functions. This became a dedicated StackOverflow question
The rest of the examples teach how to use existing Loss function (such as torch.nn.MSELoss), Optimizer (such as torch.optim.SGD) and Module (such as torch.nn.Linear).
After spending a day. I am confused on how torch.nn.modules.loss._Loss, torch.optim.optimizer.Optimizer, and torch.nn.Module works. Is there a tutorial how to create your own PyTorch Loss, Optimizer, and Module?
The code below is trying to mimic PyTorch. But, I don't know how optimizer.zero_grad(), loss.backward(), and optimizer.step() can update the model.parameters(). So, I put everything in 1 class.
I am open to learn the design pattern and so on. Please point me to the right direction.

2024.05.20 07:21 Outside-Duck-5984 Extreme Parnate Fatigue
Well, I kind of did myself in yesterday. I was doing relatively okay with pretty minimal side effects at 20 mg (split 10/10) Parnate but the sleepiness was starting to get to me a little bit after nine days at that dose.
I upped it to 30 mg (split 15/15) yesterday and felt like I was sleepwalking all day. The fatigue and dizziness were unbearable, so I dropped down to 10 mg (split 5/5) today and I feel much more normal. However, the depression is creeping back in fast and I’m not sure if Parnate is the right med for me.
I followed Gillman’s recommendation of boosting from 20 to 30 mg after 10 days had elapsed, but I don’t think I can deal with that kind of fatigue. It’s uncomfortable and you can’t even sleep it off. I would try Nardil but I don’t want to become impotent or gain a bunch of weight unnecessarily.
I currently take Wellbutrin as a stand-alone AD and I’m wondering if I should cross-taper to nortryptiline or commit to 450 mg Wellbutrin XL. I’m just worried that the Wellbutrin 450 will stop working after 6 months like 300 did. Then I’ll be in the same bag of shit with a bigger bupropion dependence to kick and no relief.
The only class of ADs I haven’t yet tried are tricyclics, and I’ve seen NT recommended as a bridge med/adjunct to Parnate. I’m wondering if it comes with the same sexual side effects as SSRIs due to increased serotonergic activity. I’m kind of at a loss unless I want to get ECT, but I’d like to try everything possible before I resort to that.

2024.05.20 07:18 coleman33112 Is brisk walking better than running for weight loss?
Is brisk walking for 1 hour straight at a pace of about 4 miles per hour the same as running for 30 minutes at a pace of 6 miles per hour (weight lost wise)? Ive calculated that online and thats the results I got but Im not sure if thats accurate. Basically im just trying to see how long and fast I gotta walk to lose as much weight as an optimal jogging session.
My only goal is to lose weight quickly, I dont really care about any other benefits.
If you think theres a better way to lose weight quickly or anything else I should add im really open to recommendations.

The first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced it felt in my hand, making it easy to maneuver and reducing fatigue during those endless chopping sessions. One of the features that truly stood out to me was the ceramic blade, which reportedly stays sharp 10 times longer than steel blades. I've certainly noticed a difference – not only in the effortless slicing, dicing, and mincing of fruits and vegetables, but also in the seamless transition from chopping meats to finely chopping herbs. The ergonomic handle offers a comfortable grip, adding to the overall ease of use, and the vivid color options provide a visual appeal that makes it stand out amongst my other kitchen tools. There's no denying that the Kyocera Revolution 5.5" Ceramic Santoku Knife is more than just a kitchen tool – it's an essential and beautiful addition to my daily culinary routine. 🔗Kyocera Ceramic Outdoor Camp Kitchen Knife and Sheath Set - Ideal for Camping, Hiking, and Morehttps://preview.redd.it/x052eqloli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75e1e73579f6e5a4c0a3b799da4aa8b119d34fb1 I've had the pleasure of using Kyocera's Ceramic Outdoor Camp Kitchen Knife and Sheath Set, and let me tell you, it has been quite the experience. The knife is perfect for my outdoor adventures, as it's durable, rust-proof, and resistant to germs and acids. One of the most impressive features of this knife is its ultra-sharp, pure advanced ceramic blade. It's incredibly lightweight and easy to clean, which is exactly what I need when I'm out in the wild. And the ergonomic soft grip handle? It provides a comfortable, highly controlled grip, making it a pleasure to use. The heavy nylon sheath with the Velcro strap is a nice addition, too. It keeps the knife safe and secure, and the belt loop makes it easy for me to access it whenever I need it. The fact that this product is made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material is an extra bonus, as it guarantees exceptional quality and beauty.

But overall, I've been really happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to those who love spending time in the great outdoors. 🔗Premium Ceramic Folding Pocket Razor Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/3g9tsyyoli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccdde130f45bdc3f90be09078ff81fb2afa54dba As someone who's always on the go, I found the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife to be an essential addition to my everyday carry. This little guy is so compact, fitting perfectly into my pockets without taking up too much space. The 1" black finish ceramic blade is surprisingly sharp, making it incredibly useful for various tasks like cutting rope or opening packages. I appreciate the sleek black synthetic handle, which feels sturdy and comfortable in my hand. While I'm a big fan of this pocket knife, there were a couple of drawbacks. The first thing I noticed was how easily the blade would snap shut. It happened a few times when I accidentally pressed it against something hard. Furthermore, the fact that it's made in China makes me a bit skeptical about its long-term durability. Overall, the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife was a handy tool to have with me. Its compact size and sharp blade made it perfect for everyday use. However, its low-quality materials and tendency to snap shut may be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers. 🔗Ultra-Durable Ceramic Utility Knife for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/k5w9qcfpli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4724053c3444336d894dc589cf6d43747f06e576 I recently started using the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife, and let me tell you, it's impressive. The blade is incredibly sharp right out of the box - twice as sharp as a steel blade, as advertised! And not only that, it stays sharp for much longer, thanks to its fantastic edge retention - 15 times better than steel.

The molded soft-grip design feels comfortable in my hand, even during long fishing trips. The Open-Design Compression Sheath is a thoughtful addition too, ensuring safe storage and transport. The only downside I've noticed so far is that, while the knife itself is fantastic, the sheath that comes with it could use some improvement. Thankfully, it hasn't been a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I highly recommend this Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife. Its features make it an excellent choice for cutting chores and fishing trips alike. 🔗Ceramic Pocket Knife: Stays Sharp 10 Times Longer for Precise Cuttinghttps://preview.redd.it/dk0hkwmpli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94020de86138393db4e63fefd3a4e5e1be332597 The Kyocera Revolution 4.5" Ceramic Utility Knife is a game-changer for those seeking precision in the kitchen.

While the box only contains one item, the knife itself is an impressive piece of engineering. The ergonomics are top-notch, with a comfortable grip that makes the slicing process more controlled and enjoyable. One key feature that stood out to me is the blade's incredible edge retention. It retains its sharpness ten times longer than steel knives, which is a massive plus for anyone who values the lasting quality of their tools.

It also never rusts, which is a great bonus. The Kyocera knife is incredibly lightweight, reducing fatigue when in use, especially during long cutting tasks. While the blade may be half the weight of an equivalent steel knife, it feels like an extension of your hand. However, there's one downside to this knife—handle with care. The ceramic blade is prone to chipping if not handled correctly. Also, it might be a bit delicate to use for cutting large items or anything that requires a lot of force. Overall, the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red is a well-made, easy-to-use tool that boasts impressive edge retention, a comfortable grip, and a visually appealing design. It's a worthy addition to any kitchen, and I can't wait to showcase its capabilities to my friends and family. 🔗Sharp ceramic baitbreaker knife for saltwater fishinghttps://preview.redd.it/be651gxqli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8186d493619fcc3d1ccc607800e6b0ed1465cce The Smith's Lawaia 4" Baitbreaker Ceramic Knife has been a game-changer in my daily life.

I was immediately drawn to the sleek and elegant design of the dual ABS handles in black. The contrast against the gleaming ceramic blades made this set stand out in my utensil drawer. As I pulled them out for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. How would these knives perform compared to my trusty stainless steel counterparts? The next step was putting these knives through their paces. I used the Santoku knife to slice through fresh fruits and vegetables, and the smaller paring knife proved invaluable when it came to peeling and seeding the berries and cucumbers. I was thrilled to discover that their razor-sharp edge made chopping and mincing effortless, and it held up remarkably well when I tested it on harder produce. One of the most notable features of these knives is their exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In fact, I found myself reaching for these ceramic knives more often than my usual set over the weekend. Their lightweight design also made tasks like stirring soups and cutting meats a lot easier on my hands. However, there was a minor downside that I encountered during the weekend. While these knives are remarkably sturdy, I did manage to chip one of the blades accidently when I used the Santoku for deboning a whole chicken. While this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, I realized that it could be a concern for users who might be more sensitive to such issues in their kitchenware. Overall, this Kyocera ceramic knife set has become an essential component of my cooking routine. Though some may view the brand's design as somewhat understated, the practicality and exceptional sharpness more than compensate. If you're looking to elevate your culinary experiences, I can't recommend these knives enough. Just remember, they're sharper than they look! 🔗Farberware ColorWorks 5-Inch Ceramic Utility Knife - Redhttps://preview.redd.it/lhn2qpsrli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e3e72c47bb36de3b14307e047a6523ac0c50343 As someone who's used this Farberware Ceramic Utility Knife in my daily life, I can attest to its vibrant red handle and its practicality in the kitchen. The ceramic blade is a game-changer, proving itself to be more durable than stainless steel and maintaining its razor-sharpness for much longer. The ergonomic handle, made from a soft touch material, is comfortable in hand during long cutting sessions. I'd like to mention that the blade cover ensures safe storage, a feature that's often overlooked but truly appreciated. One downside, however, is that this knife, while lovely, is not suitable for all cutting tasks, such as frozen foods or hard cheeses, and requires careful handling when cleaning or storing. Overall, it's a colorful, functional addition to any kitchen. 🔗Ergonomic Ceramic Folding Knife for Effortless Cuttinghttps://preview.redd.it/ubzuu33sli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d68c7daedcf6cad0e8aae9f4ee125ebf5d939c49 I've been using this Ceramic Knife with the soft red handle for a while now, and the first thing that stood out to me was how effortlessly it cuts through fruits and veggies. The ceramic blade is seriously sharp and stays that way for an impressive amount of time, which is a game-changer compared to traditional metal knives. The handle feels incredible in my hand - it's lightweight, ergonomically designed, and provides a perfect balance for a comfortable cutting experience. I also appreciate the added safety feature of the knife coming with a protective sheath. On the downside, while the ceramic blade is stainless, odorless, and won't rust or corrode, the protective sheath might not stay on as securely as I'd like it to.

2024.05.20 07:11 Vegetable_Revenue542 Husband no longer loves me: TL;DR: My husband of almost 3 years has admitted to falling out of love with me but says he wants to still try to work it out and save our marriage, while simultaneously proving unwilling to put any work into salvaging the relationship at the same time.
Husband fell out of love with me
I'm posting anonymously as this is very humiliating and just not something I'm ready to discuss with anyone I know as of yet. I'm sorry if this is really long but I need advise and to just get all of this off of my chest. Will most likely delete later.
I (26f) have known my husband (28m) since we were young children. We grew up together for a while and then separated for over a decade when our families moved. I moved to a different part of town while he and his family moved to another town and hour and a half away. We hadn't spoken or seen each other until he managed to find me on social media when I was 21. I had been in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship at the time and was having a hard time finding my way out of that situation. When he messaged me I initially didn't even recognize him or his name. I was just going to leave him on read. But my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go back and look at his page and that was when I recognized him. He helped me muster the courage I needed to break out of the turmultuious relationship I had been in and then drove an hour and a half just to see me. That meant a lot to me at the time. Shortly after we began our relationship and I quickly fell pregnant. We kept witnessing strange things that hardly felt like coincidences and had both come to the agreement that they we signs from the universe that we were on the correct path.
Fast forward to now. We have been together for almost 5 years and married for 3 after next week. We have two very young children together and have weathered many hardships as a couple in this time. In the beginning all was well. My husband still tried. He put in effort where he could. He watched me battle post partum depression after a very traumatic birth experience with our first child. Almost two years later we fell pregnant with our second which I was very apprehensive about because of the troubles I had in my first pregnancy. Things started changing with him after I became pregnant again (which I forget to mention he was initially very happy and excited about) his demeanor toward me had subtly started to change.
He stopped being as loving and affectionate. He seemed annoyed or indifferent to when I was upset or struggling internally. If I was crying or having a hard time he would just walk straight by me not even batting an eye. Before I had our second I lost one of my sisters unexpectedly and still am having a hard time handling the grief. When my sister passed away my husband offered me no condolences or emotional support what so ever. I was forced to face my grief alone. I've tried communicating with him about the way I've been feeling but he is completely emotionally closed off. I began to notice that the man I had married was a very emotionally unavailable person and I had tried to suggest seeking help to work through his communication issues and emotional unavailability but he is heavily against seeing a professional. He refuses still to this day to work on himself as a person at all.
Since having our second child we moved back to the town his family is from. We live in a home, my husband found a new job that he has to get up very early for and works very long hours through the week. When I would bring up how neglected I felt by him he would chalk it up to just being "too tired" "too sore" "too stressed". He puts absolutely no effort into our marriage at all. It's not the example of marriage I want set for our children let alone the fact that it eats away at me, makes me wonder if there is something wrong with me, and leaves me feeling unwanted, unloved, and like I don't matter at all. It makes it hard for me to be the mother I want to be. I find myself always overstimulated, and I feel like I'm constantly pouring from an empty cup.
I'm sure a lot of you will say "sounds like he's cheating" but I'm ashamed to admit that I have checked his phone, he never hides it from me. I found absolutely nothing on it and when he's not working he's always home with us. Just off on his own working on our house or only spending time with the kids or sleeping as he has to be up early. So if he is cheating he must be a professional at it cause he covers his tracks very well.
That brings me to recently. I've had this dull feeling in the pit of my stomach that I have found myself in a loveless marriage. I've been changing my appearance and dressing nicer. Doing my hair and make up more. And it doesn't seem to make a difference to him. Everyday I can feel depression quickly consuming me. I'm falling deeper and deeper into a place I've been working very hard to heal from and not fall back into. But now here I am. My husband's been slightly mean to me with some of the comments he's made about my appearance lately. making me feel completely unlovable and worthless. Everyday that passes without any kind of affection from him has built up in me and finally last night I was so upset. That knawing feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was amiss In my marriage I could no longer surpress. I've been having troubles sleeping. I can barely eat. My body dismorphia is coming back as well as eating disorders I used to have.
Last night I just couldnt sleep. I was so restless with the feeling of being trapped in a loveless marriage I couldn't stop my mind from racing. I finally fell asleep on the couch at about 6 am and dreamt that I had confronted my husband about my gut feeling to which he admitted he didn't love me in the dream. I woke up feeling distraught because of it. My husband was already up, tending to the kids acting as though everything was fine when I couldn't hold it in anymore. I finally confronted him. I told him about the gut feeling I had and asked him if he still loved me. He said he did. I rephrased the question and asked if he was IN love with me. That's when he looked down and fell silent. My heart plummeted and I began shaking feeling as though my life was crumbling around me. I then asked him if he wasn't in love with me, then was he in love with someone else to which he replied no and seemed sincere about that. I asked him why he had fallen out of love with me and he said because he sometimes felt like I wasn't pulling enough weight with chores. (Which may I add I may not get everything done in a day while tending to young hyperactive kids but I do make sure everyday that he does come house to all the toys picked up and floors swept and vacuumed if anything. And I try to get as many dishes done as I can with kids pulling on my pant sleeves.) So I'm not sure if I believe that to be the true reason. I asked where he wanted to go from here. Did he want me to take the kids and leave and let him pick up where he had left off from before we ever got together or if he wanted me to stay and try to fix our relationship. He said he wished for me to stay and we work on our marriage. I suggested couples counseling and he immediately shot it down saying we could work it out ourselves to which I asked how and then he shrugged and said, verbatim, " I figured you'd just read a book". That was when I got angry. At that moment I knew he wants me to be the one to figure out how to get him to fall back love with me. which in turn means he will not be willing to put any work into actually fixing our marriage. Even after all of this he still won't hardly communicate, still not being affectionate, hell he still hasn't even apologized or shown any remorse for hurting me so deeply.
I'm now at a loss. I'm so hurt by this. I'm humiliated, I feel betrayed. I have so many doubts about him in this moment. I've let him know that I'm not just going to be able to get over this. I severely dissociated after his revelation of no long being in love with me. I'm so upset because I do love him still and have sacrificed everything for him. Absolutely everything. Almost my life included. I told him I'm having a hard time deciding whether I'm going to stay or go. Frankly I just want to disappear from this world.
Does anyone have any insight? What should I do?
TL;DR: My husband of almost 3 years has admitted to falling out of love with me but says he wants to still try to work it out and save our marriage, while simultaneously proving unwilling to put any work into salvaging the relationship at the same time. I'm very hurt by his admission of no longer being in love with me and don't think I can move past this. What should I do?

I'm posting anonymously as this is very humiliating and just not something I'm ready to discuss with anyone I know as of yet. I'm sorry if this is really long but I need advise and to just get all of this off of my chest. Will most likely delete later.
I (26f) have known my husband (28m) since we were young children. We grew up together for a while and then separated for over a decade when our families moved. I moved to a different part of town while he and his family moved to another town and hour and a half away. We hadn't spoken or seen each other until he managed to find me on social media when I was 21. I had been in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship at the time and was having a hard time finding my way out of that situation. When he messaged me I initially didn't even recognize him or his name. I was just going to leave him on read.

2024.05.20 07:09 MoonageDaydreamGirl I’ve only been a widow for a little over a month - The rollercoaster of emotions is too much
Hi all - Fresh widow here. My husband (41 years old, I’m 36) of almost 10 years passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on April 3rd from a sudden cardiac arrest. He had an underlying genetic heart condition (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) that was diagnosed in 2020 but he decided to not seek further diagnosis on it to see what treatment was best. The first cardiologist he saw told him he wouldn’t die of the condition and would live a long life. I think this gave my husband a false hope and made him think it wasn’t that serious. He also was very strong willed and if he thought he was okay then he was okay in his mind (he even told family and friends it was just anxiety - I knew it wasn’t but even if I tried pushing him to check it out he would have become anxious or angry about it).
Other than his heart condition my husband was in great health - perfect weight, ate healthy foods and drank a lot of water, was active. His only vice was smoking cigarettes but he didn’t even do that too much. I think him dying at the time he did was due to dehydration (he was fasting for ramadan) and he took otc cold medicine (not great for those with heart conditions) because he thought he had a cold coming on. He has done both of these things over the years but never at the same time.
Anywho enough back story. I have been a wreck ever since he passed (no surprise). So many emotions. I’m so angry he didn’t take his health seriously and that ultimately sealed his fate. I’m sad and angry he left my daughter and I so young. Our daughter only just turned two and he wanted her so bad (I was the one who made us hold off on getting pregnant for years). She was supposed to have so many years with her daddy. It’s the thing that makes me cry the most. Thinking of the loss of that relationship is so crushing. Our daughter was born in 2022 a couple years after his heart condition diagnosis- I don’t know why he didn’t think to go back to the cardiologist at that time to see if he was okay to do nothing or needed to seek some form of treatment. He also didn’t leave us in a very good financial situation but luckily my parents are able to help us for now.
Another emotion that hits me a lot is resentment. My husband and I fought a lot over the years - it was usually stupid stuff but he would often get very upset with me and the fights were hard to stop. It took a toll on my feelings for him even though I loved him so much. I always thought we would be able to get to a better place but now with him dead I have no closure on that.
I’m seeing a grief counselor once a week and it feels great when i’m talking with her but afterwards I feel so low unless I’m highly distracted. It really sucks and I hate feeling this way. I was already in a sad place before he passed but now it’s even more sad.
I want happiness for my daughter and I. I just want a simple happy life. It’s all I ever wanted. I know it’s super early in the grieving process but I hope there is happiness on the horizon for my daughter and I in the near future.

2024.05.20 07:07 _NeededAUsername_ Weight Chart
 | I am on day 17 tomorrow and I’m laying in bed thinking about my weight. As you can see I dropped BIG TIME the first week. It was like a pound a day. Honestly, most of it was water weight and inflammation. I was a big beer drinker. I think my face even lost weight. Anyway, I’m starting to plateau and (as you can also see) I’m burning over 1000 active calories a day. submitted by _NeededAUsername_ to 75HARD [link] [comments] My typical week so far has been walk every morning about 2.5 miles and then a mixture of workouts between upper, lower, and core exercises for my second workout. There is no real schedule I follow. Sometimes I go for a long 4 mile run on the weekends and/or during really nice weather. Should I keep my same routine for a bit longer and see if I naturally burn fat aka lose weight, or change up my workouts to something more intense in the morning other than walking? OR be more intentional with my weight lifting? TIL |
