Besides the coffee stains, how bad is it? I'm not a dentist, so I can't really say much, but it looks as though my bottom gums are receding.

Do I need to get in to the dentist earlier?

Thanks.

My Problem: My computer did a spontanteous update, and after it restarted I tried to plug in my Kindle with a usb. Kindle no longer connects, and I think it has something to do with the back-up restore points that the computer saved during the update. I've included pictures:

Picture 1, "My Computer"

Picture 2, "D Drive"

Picture 3, "E Drive" or "H P Tools"

Thanks guys.

I'm 6'1, 20 years old, and somewhere between 185 and 190.

My lifts have improved a lot lately. I'm benching 2103, squat 2851, and Deadlift 325*1

I'm doing leangains.

Thanks!

Calling out Silverhydra...

I realize CM and Leangains are probably superior to a normal eating pattern, but just how much?

Like, if we have two lifters who are identical in every aspect, except Lifter A does CM while Lifter B does not. How much stronger will lifter A be after 1 year?

(Not sure where else to post this, since I don't really like r/health. I figure you guys are knowledgeable.)

I kind of foresee this post being crosslinked to r/fitnesscirclejerk, but hear me out. The modern environment is way to sterile, and I think it's one of the leading drivers behind the rise in autoimmune conditions, obesity, and mental health conditions. The immune system is out of whack, resulting in inflammation. How can we fix it?

Fecal transplants are the obvious option, but the medical community hasn't really developed it. You could DIY, but it is difficult to find a healthy donor, and it could be dangerous. It's also absolutely disgusting. So not viable yet.

If so, post here or PM me. I'd be very grateful.

Thanks guys.

What a wonderful community.

For me, the best thing about exercise is the mental clarity and cognitive boost. Of course, I'm vain and like to look great, but that is almost secondary.

*Exercise keeps me sane. *

What sort of routine maximizes my "mental gains", albeit not necessarily strength gains?

Both personal anecdotes and scientific research welcome.

Maybe I'm interpreting meditation all wrong, but from what I understand it is just about concentrating on one's breathing.

What if I concentrate on something else instead of my breath...and then when mind wanders, I bring it back to that thing I'm concentrating on. For example, I'm a college student, so I study a lot. Would it count as meditation if my focus was on, say reading the textbook? Then every time my mind wanders away from the studying, I bring it back to the task at hand?

Is this a form of meditation (very broadly)? Why or why not?

I met this girl and we hanged out throughout the day (we were with a group though).

Now i'm trying to hang out with her again. I've invited her to a few things but she had other commitments. I really want to see her again but I'm concerned that I'll come off to desperate?

Any advice on texting frequency, etc?

Could anyone describe their experiences with his workout?

I usually get 8-9 hours of sleep, but I may cram study tonight and end up with only 5-6. I have a final tomorrow morning, 8AM.

I have never done this. Is it worth it?

Besides weight loss, I'd love to hear about what keto has brought you. For example: ability to fast, concentration, enhanced vision and sense of smell, etc... you tell me!

Thanks

Started meditated maybe 3 weeks ago. 15-30 min a day, spread over 1-2 sessions. I love it so dearly, but I'm not going to get into that here.

My question is, what else would you recommended besides meditating and reading Buddhist books?
