That’s a long way from….. It would be better to say "no other statin has been proven to have this benefit (because they weren’t included in the study)". Given the history of statins and how similar they are, I’d be shocked if they don’t all show this benefit. And given the history of pitavastatin, I’d put big money on some of them turning out to be even better than pitavastatin. I can’t see behind the NYTimes paywall, but I assume they’re talking about this recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2304146 Look at who sponsored the study. From the above NEJM article: "Supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Gilead Sciences, and ViiV Healthcare." From the Pitavastatin Wikipedia page: "Kowa Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Kowa Company, is the owner of the American patent to pitavastatin." I’m surprised the NEJM even published this, but I assume they thought the concept was important despite the obvious bias.

Working on reservations…. Is David’s Pool party usually on Friday?

I love the sheets at The Wynn: https://www.wynnathome.com/collections/wynn-resort-bedding Not cheap, but not crazy, crazy. I also love the sheets at the Adlon in Berlin, but getting them custom made to fit an American bed….was crazy, crazy. Funny story. I had a really fun time fucking a young man in Vegas at the Wynn. Afterwards we were making small talk and I mentioned there was a straight man back home whom I was desperately trying to fuck. He replied, "you need to get better sheets. Make him feel special. I let you fuck me tonight because I wanted to sleep in these sheets." PS it worked.

Too god damned funny. I mean, if @Coolwave35 isn’t "good enough"…what chance do us regular Johns have?

Looks like he throws an impressive brunch. It’s not much, but it’s a good start!

I loathe self check out. Thankfully, the local "fancy" grocery store doesn’t have it. The shitty mass market store does…but I’m usually only there to grab the occasional item I can’t get at the fancy store, so I grin and bear it.

I LOVE her!

He really needs to learn how to take more flattering (as opposed to flattening) ass pics. With a torso like that, he’s bound to have a better ass than he’s showing in those pics.

That’s a really early Joe D'alessandro (I’m guessing in his pre-Warhol, LA hustler phase),

I once had a dinner guest become visibly distraught when she saw my bare hand literally brush against a leaf of lettuce in the salad I was preparing. I made a point of tossing the entire salad by hand the next time she came over. As long as you wash your hands first, it’s not a big deal. I mean come on…you’ve put much worse things in your mouth. In general however, I use wooden bear claws to toss my salad. Only because I don’t want salad dressing in my hands. Not because of an irrational fear of germs.

20 years of jerking off to your pics…and now you want me to call you ”Danny"?….nope….you’re “Vin". Just kidding…Danny. (ugh, it does fell like I’m cheating on Vin though…grin)

Most "upscale" people can afford a flash on their camera phone. Pass.

I second this recommendation. If you love a masculine, muscular man who can bottom like a champ….you will NOT be disappointed. I still dream of taking him up on his offer of getting kilts and going wedding crashing in Scotland together. The man is serious fun!

If we can all just untwist our panties over the Angel Dust versus Primary Care Provider drama….does anyone have an answer? A great gay PCP in NYC shouldn’t be that hard to find. Unfortunately, the "cute" ones seem to rely more on their body than on their minds.

And THAT’s what made it funny!

I wouldn’t recommend booking a cruise at the last minute unless you SERIOUSLY don’t care about what boat, what room, or what destinations you’re getting. I did it once with family….it was a shit show. By far my worst cruise ever. You’re getting the dregs that no one….literally NO ONE ELSE wanted. It will be a shitty room, on a shitty boat, going to shitty destinations. If you’re incredibly lucky, you might get one of those three upgraded from "shitty" to "not so horrible". Trust me. Do your homework. Plan ahead. Spend some cash. Have fun. It’s not difficult.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. People do stupid things, then they (or public outcry) demands that we waste resources to “save them". Thus wasting taxpayer’s money and putting Emergency service responders at risk. We have laws. They’re not hard to follow. Or in the words of my father….."don’t be a moron". PS Anyone who says they’re going to commit suicide if you remove them from their homemade inflatable hamster wheel in the middle of the ocean….is de facto not sane.

"Share a pic of you to speed up the process." Yep, that sure "speeds up the process" for me…..

Sometimes the defense does more damage than the accusation.

We have different definitions of the word "lunch" grin

Wait, I was busy falling in love with your brain….now I feel so confused. grin.

I buy food for 2-3 days at a time (at most). If I’m having company, I shop the day of the dinner. Bulk non-perishable items, I go to Costco. Although given the time and gas it takes to get there and back, I’m not really sure I’m saving that much money.

Two words….Index Funds. I don’t under perform or out perform the market…..because I AM the Market!

It’s hard to envious (not to mention humble) when you already live in the Greatest City in the World. grin
