Cheapest way to filter flouride?

Looking for an addition to my waterdrop 15ua which doesnt filter flouride. I don't have the budget for an RO right now. I specifically want to filter flouride. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I had a zerowater 2-cup filter originally but those filters die very fast and end up costing more than an RO system per year

File has bad format - Reason 12 to slightly newer Reason 12

I have some songs I made in an older version of reason 12 that I am now transfering to a newer computer with a newer version and am getting this error on several tracks. I plugged this into ChatGPT but am not getting straight answers. Has anyone had this issue?

Need opinions on wheels for my hybrid skate deck/cruiser

I have a 7.75 skate deck and I put on 60mm 78a Racebon wheels (cheaper amazon wheels) and 1/8" riser. Putting these wheels on has made a huge difference for me versus regular skateboard wheels even though they are dirt cheap, now I am curious what better quality wheels will do. This board is a commuter so I am looking for roll distance, speed and softer wheels for rough roads, cracks and sidewalks. Not looking to do tricks, slides or bombing on this at all.

Right now I've narrowed it down to three wheels and would like some opinions

  • Landyachtz Fattie Hawgs White 78A Wheels 63mm (this would likely require a 1/4" riser and new hardware as well.)
  • Sector 9 Nine Ball Opaque White 78A Wheels 61mm
  • Ricta Wheels Clouds White 78a 60mm

I have seen reviews for the Ricta being great for rough roads but I am not a fan of the blue accents. My board is black with a white design, so ideally I would like to stick with white wheels. The sector 9's are white with black accent, so I like the look best and they are also cheaper than both of the other options.

I am open to other options as well if anyone has ideas. I am in Canada but would look at wheels from anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

I am seeing ChatGPT Ads and Posters Everywhere Lately

ChatGPT has a very specific way of formatting its graphic design. I noticed it first at my local pharmacy where almost all the promotions are now using chatgpt. Then I started noticing it at other smaller businesses. This is bad for independant designers and production firms. Chatgpt has limitations but I feel its a matter of time where it will be able to output different formats, make size and text changes on the fly. I left the design world a couple of years ago after 18 years in the field but I worry for younger designers as the pie feels like its about to get smaller.

What's with all the women on this sub?

I may get chewed out for this but why are there so many women here commenting and giving advice to men, I've seen some pretty harsh critiscisms as well, some very mean girl vibes going on. If this was the women's sub and a flood of men started making the same comments, do you think that would fly?

Hair Straightening Techniques for Men with Short Hair? Looking for Relaxer Alternatives/Straight Perm Advice

I have been using chemical relaxers for a long time, think dark and lovely. These aren't that healthy and I want to find something I can use that can deliver semi-permanent results similar to this. I am having a war between two AI's regarding a product called Zotos Quantum and I need some straight answers, I have a product called Zotos Quantum Firm Options Alkaline Perm that Gemini says I can apply as a straight perm, similar to a relaxer but I plugged it into chatgpt and it is saying the complete opposite. So I want to know if there are any methods other than flat iron or cheap chemical relaxers. Does anyone have any experience with straight perms? I also do not want to spend money at a salon.

Keep your hounds on a leash if ou're not in a dog park!

I've been seeing this more and more lately, the park near the zoo bridge into inglewood is NOT a dog park. I had two high energy dogs run up to me and bark in my face while the owner, some Dana White looking dude, barely had any command over these dogs. I am experienced with dogs so it didn't phase me much but of course, you don't really know these dogs and for the average person, this could be considered very threatening. So Dana, if you are reading this, leash your mangy mutts.

Troubleshooting Questions

I've been perscribed 25mg sublingual, 3 times daily. I am unsure if this dosage is correct for me as it induces daytime sleepiness and brain fog. I am finding this a bit of an issue as I already struggle with brain fog and dissociation due to CIRS. I've been reading about more of a concentrated dosing schedule a few times a week vs daily. I'd be more inclined to just take it in the evening or maybe a 2 on 1 off type of schedule. Curious what peoples thoughts are on this.

Does anyone else by concert/show tickets, then not go because its too late?

I used to be a huge scenester and now when I buy tickets, I am fully stoked to go and relive my glory days but when the day comes, I decide not to go because the show starts or goes on too late and I don't want to mess up my sleep cycle. The shows that I've gone to lately, I will leave before the headliner I paid to see comes on :P This is coming from someone who used to be out late all weekend most weekends and then go into work on Monday morning mostly functional. Now I have a strict bedtime and will feel it if I don't get a solid sleep. Oh how times have changed.

EDIT: I am not a rich man, I am just tired and that changes from day to day. Most of you can relate to that I'm sure. I am not talking about 100+ dollar tickets here, I can't afford those regardless of who's playing. This is a dumpster fire of a comment section, wow :P

The YTM Algorhythm has gotten bad with its genre-bending autoplay

Has anyone else noticed this? It's been playing music from very different genres unsimilar or vaguely similar with adajecent styles but its sometimes so jarring that I want to switch to something else. I would rather not pay for two subscriptions since I use YT premium to get rid of ads on youtube. Any one else have this issue or know of a work around?

Intermittent Carnivore??

I’m curious if anyone here has tried an part time carnivore setup — like doing strict carnivore for 5–6 days and then having 1–2 days where you bring in clean carbs like rice, veggies, fruit, or potatoes. Not talking about cheat day crap or fast food, just whole‑food carbs to keep things balanced. I’m wondering if people notice any benefits from cycling like this, especially around digestion, energy, or inflammation. I’m trying to keep some fiber in my diet while still giving my gut a chance to calm down and heal, and I’m not sure if this kind of modified carnivore/low‑carb rhythm actually helps anyone.

EDIT: I was just curious lol 😛

Bass similar to Revolting Cocks, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc.

Does anyone know of a patch to recreate this bass sound that was prevelent in 80's 90's EBM and industrial? I've been looking but nothing comes close.
