    The Official RPC Showcase thread

    I don’t know any details of other buys, but mine involved no deception or fraud, and took place before angel was involved with GPI. We had a second order in process and then angel took control and shut it down. There were no contracts. There were no NDAs. There were signed proof sheets...

    CPAP/sleep apnea

    I was on CPAP from 1996-2020. I’ve been cpap free 1 year this month. I lost a lot of weight, and had the invasive surgery in 1998 (do not recommend). It took me a long time to adjust. Machines and masks were not as good back then. Once I adjusted (and my pressure was around 22), I couldn’t sleep...

    Help me buy a nice acoustic guitar

    I think this is why you need to play them. I love my PRS electric, but didn’t love the acoustic. Obviously just a personal preference thing.

    Help me buy a nice acoustic guitar

    Try a mahogany topped guitar. I like them for this exact reason. I know they’re not worth a lot, but listen to YouTube demos of different tone woods.

    Help me buy a nice acoustic guitar

    Even at full price, those alvarez us made masterbuilt models are below $800 new, built from solid wood, set up well, play well, project well, and sound good. In the hands of a real guitarist, I’m sure the subtleties between the Alvarez and martins are glaring. In the hands of a serious hobbyist...

    Help me buy a nice acoustic guitar

    Strongly disagree. I have a US made Alvarez that may be the best bang for the buck in acoustic guitars. In fact I have 2 of them. I am in the middle of tracking a song right now using a Martin D28 and my all mahogany American made Alvarez Masterworks MDA66 dreadnought. Picked it up for $400 used...

    Backgammon Sets

    I got the checkers. They’re good but not great. I might remake the blue/orange. They include an extra with each order. 2 sleeves of 8. My favorite colors are blue/orange, the gf likes lavenders and teals. This is how that request came out.

    Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail

    Having collected several things in my life, the ones that I burned out on (as you are feeling now) are ones where I built epic collections at great expense very quickly. Sometimes that would kill my interest seemingly forever, sometimes it would just leave me with buyers remorse, and I’d...

    Chicken Rob's Keto story

    Yes, you want to find both your carb threshold and your protein threshold. In the beginning, until you’re fully keto adapted, keeping the carbs low is going to get you there faster, and you’ll feel better faster. Once the appetite suppression kicks in you can slowly increase your carbs if you...

    Backgammon Sets

    Who is making this board, and is this the full color palette? I have custom checkers in process from crissloid I’m waiting on. A custom board would be amazing.

    Backgammon Sets

    I’m looking for something more like a case or box than a rack. The nice think about the 1.75” checkers is they play great on a chess board with 2” or 2.25” squares.

    Backgammon Sets

    I need something more functional, less luxury. I’ll keep looking.

    @MatB or anyone else with more checkers than boards, what do you do for storage of your checkers?

    Chicken Rob's Keto story

    Not remotely accurate enough. Irvine ketone levels can be misleading. Mine are often zero when I’m actually burning them for fuel, even though my blood levels are in the sweet spot. It can lead new keto folks to thinking their failing when their not. The breath meters are better, but their hard...

    Chicken Rob's Keto story

    My girlfriend tests her blood most days right now. She yelps every time. Just remember the needle depth of the lance is adjustable, and you want to find the minimum depth at which you can get a drop of blood.

    Chicken Rob's Keto story

    I can’t speak to this from experience, as I hate artificial sweeteners and stevia. What I do know about “keto friendly sweeteners” is that they’re not always keto friendly. Erythritol is allegedly keto friendly. Not for me. I stay in ketosis but gain weight. Stevia, monkfruit and allulose are...
