And you thought preppers were entirely useless lol

Im more of a table saw man myself. Lol. That and a compound miter saw

Insurance wont even approve now that they put the diagnosis of polycythemia in my chart. Been off T for 2 years but still high. Apparently I make too much blood. Tried to donate double red blood cells yesterday but they turned me away for that because they wont let you donate if your count is higher than 18.2. Mine was 18.5. Not sure why this is a thing since donating red blood cells is exactly what would drop me below 17. I was able to donate whole blood.

You are converting your money into something solvent right? Gold? Euro? Etc? I’m not sure paper money is gonna be worth much here. Don’t look at me, I voted for myself (write-in)

If unemployment hits 20% do you suspect a lot of sabotage of server farms?

My biggest complaint of the night city map is that 99% of the time youre stuck on street level. Look up and its full of flying cars that you cannot access.

Maybe the kids are so broken and convinced all they need is a smartphone and a tik tok account and they will be super rich. Lernin aint required. Maybe the institutions are fed up with this refusing to try/learn mentality and plan to dump them on the street and let the soup line teach them the hard lessons of life. Because, seriously, doing this is exactly the career path they have chosen. No life experience but somehow they think theyre going to be an influencer. Influencing a whole generation of homeless is more like it.

Without sufficient protein your body will eat its own muscle including your heart. At least 0.5g protein per lb lean body mass. The drug can make 75g a day difficult.

for a mildly active person you need 0.5g of protein for every 1lb of lean body mass. so if you lean bodyweight is say 150lb you need 75g a day of protein to maintain the muscle you have. if you are fairly active that grows to 1g per 1lb of lean mass. Ozempic keeps you from eating and it can be hard to get 75g a day. Your body will begin tearing down its own muscle to get the protein it needs.

I kept it off for 7 once they realized it was tied to low testosterone. Boom! No more metabolic syndrome, no obesity, no diabetes. But then I started making too much red blood cells, had clotting issues, and they took me off. Everything returned in 18mos. Doctors want to act like its my fault. I told them if they put me back on T it would all go away. These other drugs arent moving the needle one bit. They then tell me thst it could kill me. Yet they tell me if my A1c doesnt get under control that will kill me. Doctors suck. Apparently they want me to take the path of the worse of the two deaths.

The only recent news tied to these drugs is a report of significant muscle loss. Though Im not sure its a direct cause as much as a result of a loss of appetite. I had to switch from Ozempic to Mounjaro because I could not eat more than 3-4 min on Ozempic before I was completely turned off to the idea of eating. It was hard keeping the protein intake up. Mounjaro doesnt have quite as strong an effect. Ive recently ramped up to 12.5 and just now am beginning to see a similar curb to cravings. I bet they could use Ozempic to treat smoking and drinking disorders. The desire to do anything on ozempic was absent. I dont drink a lot of beer but sometimes I can drink 2-3 16oz. On ozempic even 1 was a challenge.

Well we all know it takes 1.21 Gigawatts (1,210 Megawatts) to power doc Brown’s flux capacitor. So, . .

Except in markets where they felt threatened by google fiber. Then they got their shit together.

I agree, its probably cheaper with tariffs than paying 1st world labor prices. Eventually the only way it returns to the US is via fully automated robotic assembly. Not sure how that creates jobs.

How much inertia do they need? The UK was doing some of this with giant flywheels.
