Moto G Stylus 5G 2024? Any experiences?

Looks to be basically identical to the 2023, with a pOLED screen instead.

Anyone who had the 2023 tolerate the 2024 well?

Anyone here purchase the G Stylus 5G 2023 due to screen/PWM sensitivities? If so, what did you replace it with?

I have the G stylus 5G 2023 but I think the battery has gone slightly puffy, or at least I don't remember the part of the back below the camera bump sticking out a mm or two when it was new. It's very hard to capture in a photo.

I tolerate the screen well as long as I change some of the settings.

I noticed the newer models use OLED, so I'm not sure about those. I haven't tested an OLED screen for a very long time.

I don't use my phone much, so hoping to keep it to $200-300ish. Would like Full HD+ res screen and loudish audio speaker. Mostly use it to video chat, text, email, watch videos via youtube desktop site and ublock origin or Netflix, listen to music, phone calls.

Current budget phone options? Don't do anything but browse, text, email, listen to music, and video call. Looking to spend $200ish and get a Full HD+ res screen and loudish audio speaker

Mediatek processor is a no go, sadly.

G stylus 5G 2023 is supposed to have a perfectly smooth back other than the camera bump right?

I picked mine up today for the first time in months (I hardly use it because of chronic illness) and it's very slightly (1-2mm) thicker across the whole width starting at the height of the bottom of the camera bump

I assume this means that the battery has gone slightly puffy?

It's extremely subtle

Anyone gone through this? Normal or should I start considering other options?

Not sure how much electrolytes to take? Make one concentrated bottle, sip it alongside plain water.

This way you can get an idea for what general ratio to use.

Obviously it's not the tastiest route, but just for figuring a new electrolyte out, it can be helpful.

Don't make it too concentrated of course, you don't want to upset your stomach, and don't drink it without also drinking plain water.

Do you tolerate Aquaphor, Vaseline, or other petroleum based wound care products? If you don't, what alternatives do you use?

I have an incision with a 2 week follow up recently. They said it is healing well. They said to apply Aquaphor, but in case it doesn't work out, was wondering what others might have tried that worked ok.

I asked if any food-safe oil that I knew I could tolerate would work, and they said it'd be OK, but that the combo of lanolin and petrolatum is what makes the Aquaphor work well.

Have you ever gotten sick from unrefrigerated electrolyte drink that didn't have any sweeteners or carbs? Do electrolyte solutions with zero carbs/sweeteners/flavorings support the growth of stuff that could cause food poisoning?

I dumped some electrolytes in some water, took a few swigs, and forgot about it for a week next to my bed.

Think the water is still safe to drink? I didn't think it would be an issue, but I noticed a similar liquid product from the same company uses an antibacterial preservative...

Not chewing thoroughly, eating too fast, due to past associations of mealtime with family trauma

I've noticed that I have an extremely hard time sitting still and just eating unless I am distracted. In childhood it was by books, so I could avoid interacting with an abusive parent.

In adulthood it's usually web browsing or youtube videos or shows.

This has resulted in a lot of undigested food.

Anyone have experience with this? Any useful information for helping with this?

I just tried a tiny bit of unfiltered, with the lignans. There was immediate burning/dull/sharp pain increase in my typical chronic pain areas.

It comes and goes depending on how I'm meditating/breathing.

Were you ever able to begin tolerating it? Was there a difference between filtered and unfiltered?

First thread had a lot of great recommendations, so I figured once a month or so I'll keep updating what I find and people can chime in with their recs too

Tip: try combining a camera with audio you enjoy with one that has no audio, e.g. the beaver cam from the last vid plus various landscape cams

Also you can rewind cameras that are located east of you to match your local time of day

If you can't figure out why fish oil or other omega 3 products are triggering symptoms, check the other ingredients. Most manufacturers use some kind of antioxidant to prevent rancidity. Many of them use citrus extracts/oils. Some use 'mixed tocopherols (vit E)', some use rosemary extract, etc.

Took me a long time to figure out why fish oil was giving me panic attacks, and it's the citrus. Haven't worked up the gumption to trial other options.

I did find a combined flax and algal oil supplement that is simply those two ingredients, so I'll give that a go.

I was wondering if people might be willing to help out to make a simple list.

I know this information is broadly available on the web but I don't get much chance to use a computer due to severe fatigue, so help would be really appreciated.

Here's what I know off the top of my head:

Kidney channel, 足少阴肾经 | Zú Shào Yīn Shèn Jīng, KI, KD

Liver channel, 肝經 | Zú Jué Yīn Gān Jīng, LV, LR

I can't eat most carbohydrates or vegetable oils, so finding salty snacks is difficult.

So far the best I can come up with is umeboshi
