  1. There's an article in The Economist that says it does seem to work. I'm going to look into it for rosacea.
  2. Went off my BP medication.
  3. Regardimg HPV...EVERYONE should be getting that vaccine, they upped the age for insurance coverage to 45 and you can pay out of pocket if older. It covers so many strains it's probably covering at least one you don't already have. Don't think condoms make it irrelevant; a friend told me his dermatologist had a patient who needed a penectomy because he got HPV in a ring around the base of his dick where the condom didn't cover...
  4. They'd be fine with 39. But too many delusional 60 and 70somethings list themselves as 39 so the presumption is you're lying. I got no hits at 39 and then when I turned 40 the floodgates opened.
  5. But time is money. Grindr isn't free.
  6. Honestly, that's my thought. D1 wrestling has been hammered in the last couple of decades because when schools are found out of compliance with Title IX, it's easier/cheaper to cut a men’s team rather than add a women's team. And until pretty recently college wrestling was exclusively male.
  7. More people need to realize just how common this is. Especially white collar workers whose expertise is mainly navigating their own company's systems. My brothers both got dumped in their late 50s and seem completely unrealistic(to me) on the subject of what they can expect to make and turning down jobs that pay not all THAT much less than they had been making. Also too many people PLAN to "catch up" on saving in their 50s and 60s, or "just work till they drop" and think their earning power will never go down. That's a recipe for disaster.
  8. I see more downside than upside here ...i.e. either you kill the fantasy for yourself or you make him upset that "you don't believe him." Ultimately this is an acting gig you've hired him for, best not to pay too much attention to the man behind the curtain. This isn't Pretty Woman and you're not gonna marry him. Let it be.
  9. If I skip lifting weights for multiple days in a row, I definitely fall off faster strengthwise than I used to.
  10. It's kind of interesting how these mostly straight guys probably all do the "towel dance" in the gym locker room because god forbid anyone see their nether regions for 0.6 seconds, but at the same time are all proudly wearing their skintight singlet semi-erect on the school's social media.
  11. Similar to gman, I'm single more because of my choices than by choice, but I see enough problems in the relationships around me that I'm less bothered than I used to be. There are two great tragedies in life: not getting what you want, and getting what you want.
  12. One thing I often notice in old porn is people's feet tend to be filthy. What's up with that?
  13. A facebook friend who's HIV positive and tends to struggle with stable employment seems to be posting at least once a year how he's rationing his pills while he waits for his health insurance to start next month. I googled the med he was talking about(Biktarvy) and it retails for $4,000 a month. At this point, shouldn't at least some generics be available? I'm sure the latest are better somehow, but it seems like there should be better options than skipping doses.
  14. My cardiologist just told me the latest research is more refined. After 70 it doesn't appear to help. But for people 50-70 with a calcium score over 100, it appears beneficial...i.e. prevents 3 heart attacks for every stroke it causes.
  15. I used to mix it in with Nesquik powder, then add milk and drink it before a workout
  16. Univariate analysis is, quite often, hot garbage. You know what's bad for a fetus? The mother having a fever. So you've got selection bias baked into the analysis and no good way to quantify it. And you can't ethically experiment on pregnant women.
  17. My doctor specifically only sends his self-pay patients to Lilly because the compounding pharmacies aren't really regulated. That's not to say there aren't good ones, just that his office didn't feel they were in a position to assess and didn't want the risk.
  18. I'm on Zepbound, which is the same drug as Mounjaro. For starters, i had about triple the weight to lose that you do, so it's possible the dose relative to weight plays a role. For the first couple of weeks my hunger signal COMPLETELY turned off. I think I could have gone three days without any calories and not been bothered. Frist week dropped 10 lbs then it went much slower after that. One thing to be aware of is muscle loss. Since I go to the gym nearly every single day I didn't initially notice this. But recently I for scheduling reasons ended up not lifting(but still doing cardio).for a week and I feel like I had a much steeper dropoff in strength than I expected. A colleague who was taking it for prediabetes issues and was not actually overweight at all was absolutely miserable on it. He had to work from home for the first month because he couldn't be away from a toilet for the length of his commute. So ymmv.
  19. Purplekow, um...I would recommend you cease incalls with providers who know your username.
  20. I can't comment specifically on your situation, but the insurance industry in general is starved for.talent, and due to the lack of sufficient training data, it's likely a bit more AI- resistant than people think.
  21. A gay man in the biz shaving some years off his current age,? Well, I NEVER!
  22. When it's your job to remember things the physical structures in your brain do change. A cab driver in London(where they are or at least were required to know the entire map of London) will have significantly larger hippocampus than the average person. The process of studying actually causes this change.
  23. The fact he's asking for client stats/description fairly screams it's going to be a YMMV experience and reviews are likely of limited use.
  24. Tylenol is a little unusual in that the toxic dose is a relatively low multiple of the therapeutic dose. Like if you forget that you already took your advil and take a second or even third dose you're not very likely to have a problem, but you could get into trouble with Tylenol. In some coutries they mandate it be sold in blister-packs rather than bottles to reduce the accidental OD risk.
  25. Yes. Like when you get on the treadmill or bike and start to exert yourself and your body just goes "Nope, not today."
