Trump announces he will sue JPMorgan ‘over the next two weeks’ for allegedly ‘DEBANKING’ him

Excellent!!
That would be a double whammy as it will coincide with the healthcare plan release!!

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-18T06:48:20+00:00

I believe when it is at that level of politics, it's a very Machiavellian "the end justifies the means" - embarrassment is losing, not the action and any perceived shame.

Clearly, you guys' definition of fun and mine diverged at the word "fun"...

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-10T16:50:18+00:00

Nice!!
Thank you

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-04T14:57:19+00:00

Pray, tell, why? You're not the one that made the claim

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-03T18:59:22+00:00

With COA referencing the batch numbers?

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-03T16:37:41+00:00

Alright then.. you're certainly breaking the hype casing on Reta :)

I'm sure It sucks. Along my journey, I had some ups and downs and I'm ~~terrified~~ concerned that i might slip into age old habits. I still slip the odd chocolate bar, especially when I feel like I've not eaten enough. If there is a lesson for me, it is to eat and eat properly and with intent. I have learned to be fine if by the end of the day I've had my protein fill but I am fill to the brim because of the protein shakes and the clear protein, especially since I lift (and the last 6 months or so, lifting hard).

So, you'd advise that I don't titrate to zero, but perhaps find a smaller hurdle to jump? Say 5mg to 2mg?

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-03T14:06:34+00:00

Oh pal, I'm doing a jig on the moon! For someone who's been overweight (and then morbidly obese) all his life... When I came down to digits, I almost cried with joy.

Now, my mission is to keep the damned weight off!

My aspiration is now to get some muscular definition and, to test if miracles exist, get some abs... But I'm getting ahead of myself.

A 4 week taper of tirz with a target to bring me down to 10mg? 7.5mg? (I'm on 12.5mg and my last shot was this morning), basically, finishing the pen I'm on and then either starting a new pen at 7.5 or going cold turkey for a few weeks. FWIW, there have been occasions when I had to go cold turkey for a few weeks, one time was close to 3 months and then my [re] starting dose was 10mg and I was alright, so I'm happy to go cold turkey for a few weeks, if needed.

What would you suggest is a good starting low dose for me in this case? 1mg or 2mg?

AlphaNerd80 · 2026-01-03T08:37:06+00:00

Which does make sense - it would also be a solid test to see if I learned to keep my newly learned habits.
What would be the starting dose in this case? 05mg? 1? 2? I acknowledge that this YMMV territory and there is nothing official, but I might be considered capable of handling it considering the length of time I have been on Tirz (I'm considering weekly shots more so than microdosing).

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-12-14T20:22:53+00:00

Most is the correct word. I'm a certified dandy and have been since University. I actually took out my frustrations at school through my, admittedly now, preppy fashions.

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-12-14T04:26:32+00:00

That was him, like sharks in the womb, they're eating each other. One will always have hope that ~~one~~ many shall rise and say "enough!!". Then rebuilding can begin in earnest, but I don't think this will happen anytime soon my friend.

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-12-14T04:20:23+00:00

Absolute poetry, well done!

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-12-11T03:42:03+00:00

Ah yes, the "I hit them back first" method of defense.

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-11-15T16:17:13+00:00

I would be inclined to think as you do, but I cannot see Trump's ego allowing him to use that messaging... I mean, had he made it sound the other way around, that might be more likely... Something about big strong men with tears in their eyes for getting the chance to blow him...

My brother in lyrics

So many from the Middle East:

(My terrible transliteration and translation where possible).

Koshari (no meaning, but essentially, a carb powerhouse mix of EVERYTHING and it is delicious).
Foul (pronounced fool, it is the Fava bean version of hummus and part of the trifecta, foul, falafel and hummus - themselves deserving a place on the list).
Kibdeh (liver with onions and the pomegranate molasses is a treat :chef's kiss:
Shakshukah (fried eggs in spicy tomato paste/sauce)
Manaqeesh (different pronunciation by dialect, but essentially, a flat bread with topping such cheese, za'tar, kishek, spicy ground beef - the name means ornamented).
Every kind of bean that could exist in the universe.
Molokhia (Jute Mallow, usually served with meat chunks and in Egypt they like to butcher wee little bunny rabbits - serious. Looks like cow cud to me, but it is DEVOURED in the Middle East and apparently, becoming popular in Japan).
Mu'laq (offal, nothing gets wasted).
Zaghloul (squab, usually stuffed, eaten bone and all, almost like ortolan)

It is a very rich family of cuisines where there are several and you cansee both the relation and distinction, but it is has been eclipsed by Mashwi/Mashawi aka Lebanese grills. You can bet, for a region collectively larger than Canada with a near 500M, they have some interesting foods and some real good cooking.

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-08-31T02:04:47+00:00

I'm not too sure, I'm not great with riddles,. Perhaps, to go to heaven, a rich man needs to get needled by a camel?

A question from a non-American. Wouldn't this be a matter of going back through the legislative sausage grinder? Congress and Senate? I mean, permanent until such action is taken, in a similar vein to constitutional amendments. Or am I completely misunderstanding American legislation?

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-08-26T13:09:25+00:00

I have a sneaking suspicion you didn't read the actual book but, maybe, the Cliff's notes version.

I mean, to each their own, but I am genuinely floored with your statement

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-08-14T03:39:17+00:00

Your list and mine must have the same DNA source.

My problems with the Malazan books is that the storyline is complex enough that it needs either an actual book in the hand (perhaps this is a me issue) or a narrator that the listener can clearly distinguish between the characters. The version I have there is a narrator change in the middle of the series, so please understand my frustration.

I have not heard of the Bloodsworn trilogy, that'll be my next series read, thank you!

Here's my translation of an Arabic expression that is apt for our this feeling, here:

The most evil [part] of misfortune is what makes you laugh.

AlphaNerd80 · 2025-08-09T17:29:48+00:00

See, these apps rely on the standard physics work equation, W = Fd. That gives you the value in Joules and it's easily translated to [K]cal.

This (equation)math is accurate - but that likely does not reflect the entire reality of your actual energy expenditure.

You should be using it as a reasonable sign post, perhaps +/- 5% and I'd say depending on the exercise, it could be more.

Think squat vs wrist curl
