    I hit enter to soon and then couldn't edit. So to finish my post.....

    Ok, I'm asking this because I'm old and it happened. If you don't know what this condition is I suggest you don't look it up because it was unnerving, though I might have a future in vampire porn. But if you experienced it you know what it is. Has anyone ever experienced hematospermia? I looked it up on the internet and there could be 100 things that caused it but it's so unnerving I'm having trouble forgetting it. And I can't get into my regular doctor until after the New Year. I'm just hoping someone can say "yeah it happened to me and I got over it. No big deal". 

    Had this for the last month or so. I'm on chemo so I get a fast response from doctors. They weren't worried about it at all (oncologist and urologist). Took an antibiotic for a week or so and it seems to be clearing up now. You're right that it can be a real headfuck seeing blood THERE.

    Remember when they said cord cutting would lead to a la carte pricing and cost savings for consumers?  Lulz.  $70 for 6 channels, plus 40 more channels you don't care about.  This is totally different than cable because it comes through the internet (over cable).

    Not calling you out specifically, but this is such a dumb complaint. Streaming cable is still just cable. You even note that espn is barely holding them all together. Once they finally move to a subscription model that doesn't require cable, the whole thing will fall apart. 

    Legacy media having their content bundled together is not the a la carte people had hoped for but it's still infinitely better than cable.

    What are you comparing it to?
    I'm spending $$ for YTTV 4K simply to watch sports.

    Most of the sports that's native 1080P and above look okay.

    The only shit I've seen is mostly native 720P from the likes of ABC, CBS & FOX.
    Which looks just as crap using rabbit ears.

     

    How can football be such a cash cow but most games are filmed using shit cameras.

    Yes, it's disgusting that 720p is still the standard

    Just got done with my semi-annual CT scan and bloodwork checking on the colon cancer progress. My CEA, a cancer marker for my flavor cancer, was 1.7 today. This made me happy, as a couple years ago it was around 15 to 17.   Normal for a non-smoker should be below three. The labs don’t look super crazy, but it says I might have some infectious process going on.  Which makes sense, because I feel like crap, and likely I have an  incipient respiratory infection going on.   No worries.

    Assuming the scan does not show anything new about the spots on my liver, I should be good to go for another six months    My Onc says if everything is cool in April 2024, she is discharging me from her care - save an annual blood draw.  Which is great.

    Fuck cancer in its goat ass

    I'm down to 4.5 on this weeks labs after being at 750 10 months ago.

  5. I'm 41 and single and love being alone. Before my health issues I had a friend in a similar situation and we just had a standing Friday night hang every week. That 3-4 hours a week is enough for me and I need a minimum of a week break to feel "up to" socially interacting with anyone again. But I'm good to go for 6-8 weeks before I start feeling like I need some interaction. 

    Having a dog also helps a lot.

    Somehow I missed that this existed until I saw an ad on Apple yesterday. I don’t want to read the thread in case of spoilers (haven’t read the book but have read a lot of the oft cited similar works).

    Is it worth me diving in and catching up? I never know with Apple shows.

    I think so. First season has some slow parts (and bad actors) but the second is going in a good direction.
