    Started The Blacklist.  Watched it years ago, but not sure where I ended it.

    I just started watching it for the first time. I had heard it was solid. I like it. A little soap operaish, but entertaining. 

  2. I used to skate a lot as a kid and thought about getting back into it, but then I decided to give inline skating another shot instead. I used to do that a lot, too. Figured if I could pick that up again, it would be a good, low impact, exercise for me. 

    Didn't mean to derail, but how many threads on grown men falling on their ass with little wheels do we need? 

    My friends refer to them as my fruit boots.

    Curious what dosage you've been taking to get up to 57?  

    Also, doesn't it become detrimental/toxic at a certain level?  (something way higher than where you're at, though, I think it was in the 150s or something?)

    Perhaps @Newdoc will be able to chime in on toxicity and what amount of supplement would put you there?

    D3

    50 mcg (2000) IU.  That's the OTC stuff my doc told me to take one a day.  

    I have no idea how much that level fluctuates and I've only been tested for it twice that I can find.

    Actually, there has been encouraging data that Vitamin D supplementation benefits people with Covid. You need to have your levels up to at least 30 ng/ml for the best benefit. Levels above 30 do not seem to confer better protection. It seems to be a threshold. However, mortality seems to follow an inverse curve. The lower the level, the higher the mortality.

    It’s hard to get insurance to pay for Vitamin D levels. I would talk to your doctor about it if you are at high risk for Covid complications. If you are young and healthy with a low Vitamin D you still aren’t in dire straits.

    Thanks for that.. Yeah,she put me on it at 36 ng/ml, so that's what she called "a little low". That's why I wondering, I remember now. Because I noticed it was in the "Optimal" range >30 ng/ml, but she wasn't completely comfortable with that. It's at 57 ng/ml a year later, so I guess the supplements help show up on the test at least.

    Or maybe I've just been out in the sun more, but I don't think I have.

    Yeah, too anachronistic in today's climate.  A shame, too, because they offer some good things that aren't quite duplicated by other student organizations.

    It kind of seems that the more fraternities are ostracized, the worse their behavior gets.

    It is my impression, and it may be wrong, that college students are somewhat less likely to engage in the stupid-ass, binge drinking partying that most everyone did back in the day.  But it seems that the ones that do do it are stupider than ever.

    You're like having a word of the day calendar on the desk.

    I like that about you.

    Do Pacific Islanders typically have higher levels of Vitamin D than us, due to more outdoor activities, etc.?

    I honestly don’t know. Just spitballing.

    I don't know the answer but I'd like to know more about the Vitamin D role in this. I can't follow all this stuff. 

    I wanted to ask @Newdoc about it a thousand pages back or so, but didn't get around to it. He mentioned he was really disappointed in some tests that came out regarding Vitamin D and Covid. I believe. Don't mean to put words in his mouth.

    I ask because my doctor before all this, put me on an OTC Vitamin D a while back because mine was "a little low", but then of course I read all about it and get the other opinions on it that says it doesn't do much in supplement form. I just keep taking it.

    Yup..  everything i was told just hit the espn tracker (less the vegas info).  P5 commish's son & a B1G network exec have both been telling me all week to expect things to work out for Oct.  I hope it happens, PAC12 soon as well.

    Big 10 does seem like 10/17 start a good possibility, but I thought pac12 was currently weeks behind them? Read that somewhere today.

    So have all the big tractor companies, this is why farmers are pissed over dumb software updates that the can not "update"

    PS fuck them and OU sux

    I'm gonna go completely off topic because I rarely see you post and I wanted to join in the fuck you part of this thread. Fuck the Mopar, cocksucking piece of fuck website.

    That's all, and I have no idea your affiliation with them, but if you could pass it along, I'd appreciate it.

    Sorry to disrupt.

    Looking for a referral on a HotSpot device similar to the MoFi from UbiFi (lots of "fi" in this here post).  They have been out of stock for awhile; I got an email last week that some were available but by the time I clicked through, they were out of stock again.

    We're on AT&T & historically, they have the best signal for where we live in the 78620 (furthest W end of Drip).

    I'm looking for something for my fishing cabin to use my phone as a  good hotspot. I have Verizon and my signal strength number is -110 dBm to -120.

    Would this be at all what I'm looking for?

    Would a good signal booster do the trick?

    It's also much, much worse on weekends.

    If the controls are electric and there is no power it won’t work.

     

    Ahh, electric start. It doesn't have digital controls or clock and that shit. Last one wasn't that fancy with an electric start.

    Tried to preface my stupifuckery for y'all.

     No, That would mean the oven only needs 120V plug in.  So that brings back the theory that a breaker in the panel is going bad. 

    A good test would be to identify the breaker that serves the oven and switch it off.  If all the other switches and plugs that were out are out it would be a strong indication that the breaker is the issue.

    Yeah, they all went out on the same breaker.

    I'm not messing with that shit. Thought maybe someone would tell me I'm a dipshit and to flip a switch for worky. 

    I really can't tell if the oven is electric or not. It's plugged into a 120 but has an inside light and the stove is gas. The inside doesn't have coils like an electric, but it doesn't work when all that other stuff is off, which is why I assumed electric. 

    I am a dipshit.

    good catch.

    Ovens are on 240v circuits.  Larger gauge electrical wire into a 240V breaker which looks like a double 120 V breaker with both wires fed to the breaker as opposed to white to the neutral bus bar.

     

    If oven and switches are out it does sound like a service, or panel issue and not a singular circuit issue.

     

    OR you have some fucked up scab of a system, which isn't highly likely.

    Well I just assumed it was an electric oven because it's going out at the very same times the wall outlets and hanging light are out. But I just realized it's a gas oven and stove.

    So is this some bad 2020 voodoo shit? 

     

  13. Whew. Had one of the more vivid drinking dreams last night. I was so disgusted and disappointed with myself.

    I'm at a somewhat remote family fishing cabin by myself, sober for the first time here since I was a kid. Drinking and fishing has been my thing for years here.

    I haven't had a difficult time with it, but the drinking component on a trip like this hasn't been forgotten obviously.

    840 days and gonna be 841 tomorrow. Promise you that.

    What you describe in OP definitely sounds like panel(the home of breakers) or breaker related.

     

    GFCI breakers can be fickle.

    Arc Fault breakers are the suck, in regards to nuisance tripping. 

     

    Although I would be surprised if said "trailer" was constructed with Arc Fault breakers if it's more than a couple years old.

    It's from like the 70s. So it could be a breaker problem and the breaker is not flipping on the box or before it gets to the breaker box?

    It's been back on for 2 days straight, so I haven't called an electrician. 

  15. I didn't search because I have shit cell reception where I am. We have a double wide on a lake. It's remote, but has indoor plumbing and electrical, real nice like, Clark. 

    I've been here a couple weeks and one corner (circuit I suppose) that the oven, kitchen table light and the 2 wall plugs by the table on 2 walls don't work.

    The breaker isn't flipping and it happened at first for a couple hours at a time, then it would come back on, on its own. 

    It went out for 2 days straight and started coming on and off all day yesterday then came back on full time and today it's been working fine.

    I can't find anything specific of when or why it does this. However, a new electric oven was put in a year ago. All of last year the new oven was used without any power issues like the current one.

    Any ideas? Bulldoze and put a log cabin is my vote, but my dad and brother own it and they are cheap as fuck.

     

    High

    I did a side by side comparison with smoking bud in a regular glass pipe and vaping bud in a Pax 2, today. I had never really used the Pax so wasn't sure how the high is. Contrary to what I have heard and read, the regular pipe hit me a lot harder and I think longer.

    I have also eaten gummies and vaped oil today, but I don't consider that a factor because both teams had to play in the same conditions.
