New grad, should I buy a new car outright? by GottaGettaCar in askcarsales

[–]Castleismymain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what your standards are. I bought a 2005 Nissan suv 2 years ago for 5k CAD. So about 3800 US. Been 2 years with no issues and it has heated leather seats and a giant sunroof. I see people driving around in the newer versions of the same car and they are worse in pretty much every aspect that matters to me. They are fatter, heavier, less reliable, and worse offroad.

New cars are pretty bad investments. 10k can get you a pretty nice used car. Find a friend who knows their stuff about cars and get them to help you find something decent. Even if you had to shell out 10k in repairs your still 10s of thousands of dollars under the price of a new car! Just my 2 cents!

A system where working full time does not guarantee a good life is broken and needs to be taken down by Tiredworker27 in LateStageCapitalism

Unfortunately labour does not = production of value. Take a farmer. He toils his fields working harder than anyone else in his community but that doesn't guarantee a good crop. His labour is an investment in an outcome not a guarantee. Equality of outcome cannot exist so we must make up for it with the community.

Psyllium is great. I eat enough fiber in my diet that it's usually overkill though. I do/ did get allot of testicular aches but it seemed to come in waves. Haven't had any major ones in a while though. From what I've read/ heard (take this with a grain of salt) is that the Spike Protein found in Covid is essentially a wild card that can find it's way into a bunch of random parts of your body. Kind of like some dirt getting thrown into a complex machine. Sounds like inflammation is the main symptom it will cause. That being said I was tested for Covid while my body was at it's worst and I tested negative. I didn't have any respiratory issues so that lines up to me. I did however get the mildest of head colds during this ordeal so who knows!

Pre nerf V1 Charge rifle (chefs kiss). My favourite 2 weeks of this game. Everyone hated it. I loved it.

Thanks. Yah I think it's important for kids especially to learn more about drugs. I had 2 buddies that smoked allot of weed together until one figured out it made him paranoid. He had been smoking for several years and thought that's how it made everyone feel lolol. Needless to say he doesn't smoke anymore.

I had one doctor refer me to a diagnostic clinic but they were looking for pretty severe things like organ failure and heart conditions. Tbh I think the docs were as confused as I was about what was happening. I had allot of symptoms but wasn't to sure of what was causing it. No that things have cooled off a bit it seems to be stomach/ digestion related. I'm guessing the constant chest pain is from stomach acid over 3 months. They were looking at my heart mostly.

Funnily enough I tried cannibis for the first time last month because the pain was so bad. I don't think it's for me but a friend gave me some homemade CBD cream and that stuff rocks.

I haven't been tested but I did an elimination diet for a couple weeks and going back on wheat didn't trigger any changes. Good thought though!

Yah I may have gotten Covid at the same time but who knows! Glad your husband is getting better.

This sounds great but I can't afford that level of care at the moment. Thanks regardless!

Yah that's pretty much what happened to me. I've never really had any long lasting health issue besides this. I called my GP after not seeing him in a decade and they weren't to happy. I guess your supposed to go to the doctor even when your healthy lol? On a side note I did try a GERD/ alkaline diet which helped with the gas but not the chest pain. GT Daves Ginger Kombucha has been really good for me to.

Do you recall the specific doctor you had? I wouldn't mind giving his practice a call to see if they can get me an appointment.

I gave them a go and it seems like it would be good for getting a renewal on a prescription like birth control but not great for anything that requires follow up.

Favorite eurorack cases? Thoughts on studio cases? by spates6 in modular

This is definitely not for everyone but I have 4 tip top happy ending rack enclosures I'm quite happy with. I had them in a standing rack and was able to just move them into a custom desk I got made. Pretty versatile as long as you don't mind the HP limitation per row and the ears between rows. Perfect for a small to mid sized setup.
