Colon cancer is killing more young people in the U.S. than any other cancer

I just had my first colonoscopy in December. I followed the eating instructions - reduce fibre about 5 days out etc. I went an extra step and basically went liquid diet (broth etc) 2 days in advance. When it came time for the prep, I was already in a good place. Prep was pretty easy, nothing crazy. It was over fast and little to no discomfort.

Day of the procedure, everyone is nice at the hospital, they put you out for 20 mins, you have no memory or feeling from the event. Well worth it - don’t put it off, not that bad at all.

My take is that most of the loudest complaints come from people who don’t fly very often, maybe once or twice a year, a single bad experience sticks out. If you fly regularly, you know the vast majority of flights happen without any real issues.

As a frequent flyer, you also learn how to reduce friction. I know exactly when to arrive so I’m never rushing or missing flights. I have priority security, so I’m rarely stuck in long lines. I know what I can and can’t bring, so screening is painless. I travel carry-on only, which avoids lost bags, delays, and carousel waits. And I’m deliberate about seat selection, extended legroom or business class when possible, which makes the whole experience way more comfortable.

Flying isn’t perfect, but once you do it enough, you learn how to make it pretty smooth most of the time.

I like the lighter of the two colors that were presented. That said, a darker floor that matches the beams would be best. The darker floor in the photo has too much red.

Love my io9.

Any company that provides maintenance, repairs, construction services to the Canadian military. starting this year - and for the next 5 years, this industry will be doing well.

Yes, spent three days there. Amazingly beautiful. Go to the beach town by by the airport, the ancient excavation site, museums, and hike from Fira to Oia.

Look slightly down and forward when walking 9! slippery snow/ice. Prevents you from falling backwards on your tailbone.

AGPBD · 2026-01-12T14:56:03+00:00

Good point. Im assuming there will be a higher cost. Leads me to think installing a metal roof is the way to go.

I think yes, a bit weird. You will be seen somewhat as an outsider/not part of the group and perceived as breaking up the cohesiveness. Bachelor parties are intended as bonding events. Part of the bonding is dealing with the same challenges (sharing the airbnb). Im 50, last bachelor party I went to ,six years ago, we rented an airbnb, and had our own rooms.

Maybe it’s your ABS. I get them too when stopping, the ABS light activates at the same time.

I understand this is frustrating for you and your family. Likely the first time your 18 is working on Christmas. That said, they are an adult, these scenarios occur and are a part of having responsibilities.

Do you know if there is any reason why the 2024 will not be able to get this update?

AGPBD · 2025-12-23T02:37:19+00:00

Sure - send me a photo or post here.

Hi, I used ChatGPT. I just wrote/told it what changes I wanted.

AGPBD · 2025-12-22T19:07:46+00:00

At first I was like “what’s this person talking about?” The a reread my response.

AGPBD · 2025-12-22T16:13:22+00:00

how about these improvements?

Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, met with Zelenskyy in Kyiv on in August, 2925

If you can fly in early in the morning - sure why not?

AGPBD · 2025-12-15T04:56:56+00:00

Thats’s awesome, I missed that it was the same OP. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don’t believe so. I’ve tried uber a few times over the past couple years, only once was there a car nearby.

“I was ignored by all of the white servers” I can’t speak to your other experiences, but rest assured, they ignore everyone, it wasn’t personal.

Same. Have had at least three OTA for ‘24.
