    Fat People

    Another fucked up thing in modern western culture is that we’ve bought collectively into the notion that everything has to taste awesome all the time. As an example, I used to buy whey protein powder as a supplement, and pretty much all the stuff you can buy off the shelf anywhere has artificial chocolate or vanilla taste and is very sweet. The only way to find unflavored whey protein is ordering online from a specialty place. Yes, unflavored doesn’t taste “good”, who gives a shit? You mix it, you down it, done. Why do all ice creams have to taste so fucking sweet? Actually don’t answer. It’s because sweet is addictive, and the manufacturers don’t care if their product is good for you. Just maximize profit, baby!
  2. 11 year old unit seems too new to need evaporator replaced. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that your guy is full of shit. How would he know that the evaporator is rusted and oily? Did he open the furnace?
  3. Yeah, the drought situation in the western US is very bad. Sucks.

    There’s also a very strong stigma (perpetrated by that fucking asshole Ancel Keys) that eating fat is bad for you.

    Also America has a tradition of parents telling kids “eat the food on your plate until there is nothing left”.
  6. What do y’all think about putting some money into one of those mixed commodities tracking ETFs (a mix of oil, metals, agricultural, etc) in order to protect yourself from inflation? I’m not looking for a great money-making trade, just somewhere to park a bit of savings so that inflation doesn’t eat them. Thanks.
  7. I gagree with that. I went to the doctor for low testosterone. Chose clomiphene (makes your testicles produce more testosterone). So I start taking that, get tested, my T went up somewhat. We decide to increase the dosage. Go back later, get tested, T went up some more, but the doctor says “now your estrogen is a little high; I’m gonna prescribe you an estrogen blocker”. I was like nope, not gonna start taking meds that are fixes for the side effects of other meds. So I lowered the dosage.
  8. Speak for yourself. I’m vulcan.
  9. Y’all lost me there. What is “AI”? What is anastrozole? What is tamoxofin? What do those things have to do with low testosterone?
  10. I hope this show goes someplace soon. Last episode was meh.
  11. What’s the point of bikes with fat tires? Is it just esthetics? The drag must be considerably worse.
  12. I didn’t think it made much sense to vaccinate young people or people who already had covid.
  13. Some of the stuff in I Think You Should Leave is hilarious. Like the one in the restaurant about the fully loaded nachos.

    Tinnitus

    I’m at the Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico. It’s so perfectly quiet here. Just me and my tinnitus.
  15. I think you are correct.
  16. It looks like the producers photoshopped a picture.
  17. See, yesterday I was considering buying one of those ETFs that track different commodity prices. I was this close. And now this happens.
