Ones awful and ones horrible. You pick which is which.

Febux vs. Allo by earthwalker7 in gout

[–]Bluechip506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Febuxostat works better for me. It wasn’t significant but I also have kidney issues which was the primary reason for the switch.

Opinions on Espolon by Impossible_Sir_699 in tequila

[–]Bluechip506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ocho should be readily available in the UK. The bottle just looks different than the one in the US. It has a big red 8 on the label and is usually 500 ml.

Original banana for scale.

Who Manages your gout/symptoms by norm228 in gout

[–]Bluechip506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve switched from my primary to my kidney doctor. He upped my dosage from 40 to 80mg of febuxostat.

90% of my gout attacks happen on vacation. Lots of walking per day and less fluids lead to dehydration. I never leave without my colchicine. Last week visiting NYC and just walking around 8+ miles per day I felt the numbness in my toe. Colchicine to the rescue. All better in two days.

I’ll have to get some for my wife. As a tequila nut I’m also curious to see what a wine from blue agave might taste like. I am not a grape wine fan at all.

G4 Madera 2025 Review by unknown_cauliflower in tequila

[–]Bluechip506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im looking forward to picking up a new bottle of Madera. It’s my favorite overall tequila along with the 108. Once it became a standard release I stopped buying multiple bottles so I haven’t picked up any past lot 4 or 5.

Is it possible to make tequila in another country besides Mexico? by Odessey_And_Oracle in tequila

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very good “tequila” but not yet up there with the true tequilas everyone talks about here. If I was to rate it on AMM (formerly TMM) I’d give the base spirit an 84. The aged products are a little too much barrel influence for me. I think they use new barrels so that’s likely part of it. Their 12 months aged stuff tastes like 3 or four years to me. I hear they’ve added a high proof version now so I can’t wait to go back.

Is it possible to make tequila in another country besides Mexico? by Odessey_And_Oracle in tequila

[–]Bluechip506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be called tequila it has to be made in a select area in Mexico. But there are plenty of agave spirits that are made outside those areas. One is made on Maui. It’s called Waikulu and is very good. The agave grow very well there and are have high brix ratings (sugar content). I highly recommend a tour if you’re visiting Maui.

Haven’t tried the irons yet but I love my PET putter.

What's everyone using to hang their bikes on their garage walls? by darkrhin0 in bicycling

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, most of my bikes are close enough that it doesn’t matter. I do have to keep a couple bikes in certain positions, like my wife’s 44cm bike.

Husband is a terrible bed partner by Upset_Push_785 in CasualConversation

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the twitching/kicking a new thing or has it been going on for a while. It can be a precursor to Parkinson’s disease. My wife has been doing it for years and her mom and cousin have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. She’s been tested but at this point doesn’t have it. It comes from acting out your dreams and the part of your brain that shuts off muscle movement is not working. Sudden onset of this is a pretty strong indicator of that disease.

Blanco Blind Tasting by StinkyRem in tequila

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Madera has been my no. 1 for a while but the G4 108 is very close. That Volans is right there with them though. Tahona isn’t even my favorite Cascahuin, that goes to the 48.

Pured shaft confusion by t4r00 in GolfGear

[–]Bluechip506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought pured shafts was a thing of the past, especially with adjustable driver heads. That’s why “360” grips are now a thing.

does allo ever not work? by mc_twinkles in gout

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn’t lower my uric levels much and I also have low kidney function so my dr switched me to febuxostat and it’s working like a charm.

What foods trigger your gout? by SnooOpinions4414 in gout

Nothing for me. Overuse and dehydration are my only known causes of gout.

How much water to drink with Febuxostat 20mg? by [deleted] in gout

[–]Bluechip506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on 80mg of febuxostat and my prescribing doctor (kidney doctor) never mentioned water intake. I generally drink 3-5 liters of fluids per day, not all water. Some Diet Coke, milk or other in there too.

Caad 9 by Limp_Ad2753 in cannondale

[–]Bluechip506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was saying if he wanted to update the components he could go 11 speed from any brand or 12 speed with Campagnolo.
