Honestly, if you look at how much swelling there is, you’d swear you were bitten by a scavenger rather than a mosquito.

We're talking about those tiger mosquitoes, which are popping up everywhere across the US lately.

Yo, I’ve got a massive term paper coming up on porcelain veneers and crowns, and I am feeling the pressure. If anyone out there knows their stuff and can lend me a hand, I would seriously appreciate it. Seriously, you'd be my hero.🙏

Just tell me what you need.

First off, that thing isn't even a thing anymore. It's totally obsolete.

Most people go with acrylic for their veneers, but honestly? It’s kind of a gamble. Over a few years, that stuff starts to break down. The color shifts, things get loose, and before you know it, you might even have one pop right out. Not exactly ideal.

You basically cut a little window right into the metal. Then, you pop that acrylic facet straight into the frame, just like how the glass sits in a high-end watch. Simple as that.

Veneers are all about that aesthetic upgrade. If you want to lock them in even tighter, adding retention beads is the way to go.

So, what else is on your mind? What else are you curious about? Give me the details. I'm all ears.

Carl Ward87 said:Hey. I've got a question. So, when I'm on my laptop, I spend a ton of time lying down and resting it right on my lap, specifically over my groin and stomach area. Could that actually cause any damage? Does a laptop emit any kind of radiation?

A few months back, I came across an article about resting laptops on your lap and how it affects male fertility. Basically, guys who do this tend to have much lower fertility rates than those who don't. It turns out even a slight rise in body temperature isn't great for the testicles—that’s why they stay in the scrotum in the first place, just to keep things cool.

It could honestly be anything at all, or just nothing special

I’ve got chest hair too, black stuff. Plus, I’m carrying a few extra pounds above my goal weight. But honestly? My health markers are perfect, and I don't let it get to me at all. It’s just genetics.

maybe he just has—how can I put this politely?—a lower IQ.

how bad is it gonna get after four days without any sleep?

He just started a new thread claiming he’s an asthmatic. Honestly, how does going without sleep even work with asthma? I mean, staying awake for four days straight would absolutely wreck anyone, let alone someone dealing with respiratory issues and poor physical health.

I think I read somewhere that you can go weeks without food or water, but if you go without sleep, you’re basically dead after a week.

Can you let me know how everything went once you wrap up that experiment?

goldenpilot15 said:So, anyone else?
I've been dying to order a massive wedding cake just for the hell of it. Like, just for a random dinner at home or whatever. But honestly, I feel like people would give me such weird looks if I tried it.🤣🤣

It’s like you shouldn't have to explain whether you're planning to take the cake somewhere else later or just devour it right then and there.

feraleagle72 said:Wait, did I read that right? Is it actually possible to donate every single week now, or was that just how it used to be? I honestly can't remember...

http://forum.teretana.net/viewtopic....r=asc&start=15

If anyone else has some actual info, let me know.🙂

I’ve heard that somewhere myself, too. But once I actually posted about it on Reddit, everyone jumped down my throat claiming I was dead wrong.

Next time you head over to donate plasma for the first time, just ask them right then and there when you can come back. That’s how you'll know the schedule. And hey, drop a note here for the rest of us—that way anyone else interested in donating plasma will be in the loop.

feraleagle72 said:Does anyone know if they pay you for donating plasma? Where can I actually go to do this, and how often am I allowed to swing by?
thanks in advance for any info on this...🙂

They actually pay you. You can head over to the clinic on Rockefeller Boulevard to get it done. Usually, you can donate once a month.

Check this link out for more details on donating blood and plasma:

blueheron29 said:hehe, she handled it herself. Just a quick shower helped her out. 🙂

I’ve actually pulled floaters out of my own eyes using nothing but a standard Kleenex. Honestly, what's the harm? You just head over to the mirror, pop that eye wide open, and grab the foreign object with the edge of the tissue.

Patrick Moore11 said:😁

They say the sweet spot is between 17 and 18 grams... and anything less than that is basically useless for your body. Is there any truth to that?

Nah, definitely not.

Gregory Turner71 said:Congrats, you just dropped $1167 on a blanket that "protects" you from radiation that literally DOESN'T EXIST 😁

Honestly, it’s fine ☕ you got a deal. I was at one of those presentations where some lady was trying to sell blankets that supposedly block harmful radiation for $2,000 a pop.

restlesssurfer said::Most of the symptoms apply to me... Not all of them, but there's plenty here.

Honestly, it might be a smart move to go talk to a therapist or a psychiatrist. They’re the pros. They'll figure out if you're dealing with actual depression or something else, and if you are, they can get you the right kind of help.

Depression is a total drag because it absolutely trashes your quality of life. You feel like you aren't even doing anything wrong, but you're basically just existing instead of actually living.

I went through something pretty similar during one point in my life, but I got through it.

When you're dealing with depression, everything feels off. We're talking low moods, constant sadness, zero motivation, and feeling totally wiped out all the time. It also shows up as total indifference, a lack of purpose, pure apathy, and just losing that spark for life. Sometimes, though, it hits differently—you might feel super tense, restless, or just incredibly irritable.

It’s not just mental, either. Depression can totally mess with your body's basic rhythm. You might struggle with sleep, deal with appetite swings (eating way too much or nothing at all), or feel physically sluggish, weak, and drained. Your focus goes out the window, and you'll find yourself forgetting things constantly.

That heavy mood basically stops people from living their normal lives and getting through daily tasks. It's a real struggle. People fighting this often carry around massive amounts of shame or guilt. In some cases, it gets really dark, leading to intense thoughts about death or even suicidal ideation.

😂 you guys definitely weren't wasting any time

Jerry Lopez98 said:From what I’ve seen other people on here saying, they’re basically just a company out of Santa Monica that ships everything via mail. They don't have a physical storefront you can walk into; you just call them up to order and they ship it to you. If you want that cheaper route where you get your whey for $45 you'll have to shell out for an annual membership $67... honestly, just scroll through the older pages. It’s all laid out there. Plenty of guys on this forum buy from them regularly.

Thanks. If the protein is actually high quality like everyone claims, then it definitely pays for itself after you've gone through a few kilos of whey.

Carl Taylor said:It's awesome, but honestly, the price tag is a bit much upfront.

It’s actually a solid deal if you look at the math. www.pronutrition.com $50/kg of whey, drops to $135 if you grab 7+kg.

Do you know where I can pick some up in Santa Monica?

Paul Miller64 said:not because eating crap is somehow better than buying Multipower

Thanks, so none of those are worth it then. Guess I'm sticking with Optima, Twinlab, and Weider. Everything else you can find in Santa Monica is supposedly garbage.
