  1. i've been on semaglutide for almost a year and have lost 25 pounds. initially, my biggest issue was constipation. i am very regular and always had a BM in the morning. at first i would go 2-3 days wihtout a bowel movement which sucked. i've since gone back to being regular. i pay $180 for a refill that lasts about 10 weeks

    my a1c numbers went from 5.7 to 5.2 within 3 months, and sugar levels from 126 to 73. my blood pressure is now 120/80.

    for me it's been great, but i don't plan on being on it for much longer. i'd like to be able to eat more than a handful of food once in a while. it sucks smoking a bad ass brisket only to be able to eat one small slice

    Update - the blue Jeep had rust all over it, even on the inside. It was obviously a beach Jeep that wasn’t maintained well. Pivoting to another Jeep that just came in. It’s a sport S with a hard top and brand new Goodyear wranglers for $1000 more than the base sport that was rusted.

    So, any specific suggestions for a hard top? Should I consider an aftermarket soft top for good weather seasons?

    Thanks in advance for the help, Surly Jeep Community.

    you can find plenty of brand new factory soft tops at crazy discounts on facebook market place. most are brand new in box. instead of spending $2500 or so, you can can get them for half of that.

    we bought one like this for $700 instead of whatever ridiculous price jeep charges for the premium twill ones. we still have the hard top but it hasn't been used in over a year. we thought we'd may need to put it back for the winter but it's just fine with the soft top because the heater is so damn hot

    Gun violence is certainly a big problem. I guess I would understand a pragmatic policy that treats gun crimes differently due to the societal harms they cause. I disagree with it, as I think it would be used to punish parents for doing nothing more than exercising a constitutional right, but I see where you're coming from.

    kids under 18 have no constitutional right to own a gun

    My ex-wife dumped her 89 yr old mom in a nursing home in Spring and never visits. I think the only visitor she ever sees is ex wife’s husband.

    Neither of my kids have spoken to their mom in over 18 months and for me it's been over 2 years.

    I just ordered a big Thanksgiving flower arrangement from me, current wife, son, DIL, and daughter to be sent to the nursing home. Probably because I feel so damned sorry for a decent lady whose offspring turned out mentally ill and/or felonious.

    Wife, daughter and I are flying to Raleigh in the morning to spend the week with son and DIL at Ft. Liberty. Son deploying in a few weeks.

    your kids don't visit their own grandma? that's fucked up

    Why?  For standing on the capitol lawn?

    I'm all for prosecuting every one of these fucksticks who committed violence or actually entered the capitol building, but it doesn't sound like she was part of that.

    i'm totally sure she was only standing outside and never went inside. fuck all those people. turn her info to the FBI and let them make the decision

    I have a friend that was all Trump all the time. She went to DC for the election protests or whatever you’d call them. She walked to the Capitol and was fukn giddy posting pictures and videos of her and her friend standing on the lawn with the riot going on in the background. A few days later when the writing was on the wall that this wasn’t the cool take back the stolen election event she thought it was it was suddenly radio silence from this chick. Deleted her FB and Twitter, etc and has been basically keeping the lowest profile imaginable. I ran into a guy from her tiny hometown and during the conversation he told me he grew up with a guy he thought may have been her first husband. I hadn’t talked to her in about 6 months and messaged her to ask if that was her first husband’s (She’s been married 6 times) name and she asked how in the world I could know that. I told her I was contracting to the J6 commission doing background checks on potential indictees. Immediately blocked.

    i hope you sent her info to the FBI

    Or, God gave humans free will and some humans do horrible things.  Yet I still pray because I have some degree of faith.  On the OP, I would never pray that someone I know do something for my benefit.  I would pray that he made the best decision for him and his family.  And I sure wouldn’t tell him that I’m praying for him.  That’s just creepy to me. 

    hence my second option "or god is powerless to stop it so what's the point in prayer,"

    Uvalde school shooting? If so, what did "God" have to do with that?

    nothing. that's exactly the point. either god allowed it to happen and he's a jerk, or god is powerless to stop it so what's the point in prayer, or more likely, there is no god

    Not to pick nits, but there is no guarantee that they'll accept the sales price.  I've seen several times that they will adjust the sales price (one instance +20%) based  on the time of the year bought and I've seen them take the sales price as the taxable value when the house was "undersold".  It really depends on the situation and, probably, how they are feeling that day because not a lot of what they do makes sense.

    there is an automatic way to protest this, it's called a quick protest (at least it is in williamson county) and you put the purchase price and upload your closing docs. I remember doing something similar in travis county, and my friend who lives in pflugerville did this as well (althought it was beyond the year, so they backdated the assessed value and added like 2% for the past 2 years)

    looks like i'm getting the new iPhone tomorrow. I don't think I have another year left on my 11 so the extent of my decision making process was "wait until the new one comes out, order the one that is the same size".

    just placed an order for the 15 pro. my 12 pro was getting long in the tooth. it works just fine but i use it for all of my pictures so it was time for an upgrade

  13. It was orgasmic. When we needed 3 first downs to run out the game, Brooks bulldozed his way for 2 of them and then we absolutely fooled Alabama into giving us the game ending one. 
    Been a long fucking time that we got the first down(s) we needed to seal a game.  No turtling, just straight up mauled them for 5 minutes and then took a couple knees.

    We did this against Baylor last year. Something like 20+ runs to end the game

    Euro model is a guaranteed way to get shit service.  They're getting paid anyway right?  

     

    Also not tipping the waiter is a good way to get shit service your next time around.

    This would suck for the non-tippers.  

    the vast majority of waiters in the US nowadays are not great anyways. i always compare the service to what you get in mexico, and it's night and day. mexican waiters bust their ass and the tip expectation is only 10% versus 20%

  15. planning a trip for late october with the wife. we did playa del carmen about 12 years ago and we loved it, but more recently did isla and also loved it.

    wife wants to try playa again but i'm concerned about the possibility of seaweed whcih you don't see in playa norte. any ideas on status of playa nowadays?

    McDonald’s guy also makes at least minimum wage. In glorious Texas, waiters make 2.13

    yes, but we're not talking about a waiter. we're talking about some guy working behind a counter preparing bagels and i assume coffee. they definitely get more than $2.13
