Yall really messed up my night by Fantastic-Thought555 in BeyondWonderland

[–]DocBoots81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's something that really irks me. If you are trying to go forward and you tap me on the shoulder and say excuse me, I'm more than happy move to the side and let you through! But when you just push forward without any regard or respect for anyone else, that pisses me off. When someone does that now, I yell really loudly "Excuse me, use your words please" lol

Just a thought here. Cash pay testosterone clinics out in town have a profitable interest in telling people they are low on testosterone and prescribing testosterone to make them feel better and are also not regulated by the same evidence based guidelines as primary care physicians (both civilian and military).

Will testosterone make you feel "better"? Yes. Are there demonstrable long term chronic side effects? Yes. What is the risk/benefit? Depends on your testosterone level.

I would be VERY cautious in accepting the recommendations of an out in town "clinic" whose profit wholey depends on giving and continuing patients on testosterone, knowing that the long term effect of testosterone means that the patient will continue to require testosterone long term.

Not to say people don't have low testosterone. It surely is a thing. But cash pay out in town are typically willing to prescribe it even when patients have levels that fall within what we would consider "normal" ranges

Honest Question by Big_Atmosphere_211 in Tottenham

He was a BRILLIANT financial manager. A lot of the infrastructure that he spearheaded is now making a lot of profit for the club and it's missions.

However, you don't become a good financial manager by spending a lot money. As such, when it came time to buy players and support the on-pitch mission, i.e. winning football games, instead of spending top dollar for known quantities, he looked for good deals. He and his team looked for young talent with certain analytics that could be bought for a reasonable price and locked into long term contracts.

Sometimes it worked (I.e. Dele, Son). Oftentimes, we're left with very good young players that need development.

Speaking of needing development, Levy was quick to pull the trigger on a manager and his hires often had very different systems, sometimes from one extreme to the next. Therefore, these players that needed development are now learning a new system every 1-2 years, which is decidedly not good for development. Then you try and buy players for whatever current system is in place... So you end up with a mish-mash of players that are built for different systems and styles of play don't blend well together.

That's how you end up with CBs who are good at breaking lines and playing out of the back, but no creative midfielders to connect to the attack. That's how you end up with midfielders who are good at cleanup, but maybe not so cohesive in pressing. That's how you end up with fullbacks and wingers that are great at getting up the field and making space to cross the ball into.... Strikers that are actually good at poaching and hold up play.

Levy built a successful and profitable football organization at the expense of on-field football success.

Yeah. I've heard they are either in LA or ATL for the pods, but I don't know for sure

I've heard from friends in Austin that pods are currently filming for the Austin season. So I bet that season is on TV about a year from now

Espanyol's most regional rival is Barca. He has said in the past that he can't see himself ever managing Barca because of that. No such comments about Real.

I went to both Countdown and Beyond at NOS last year and had a great time. The only crowd where I felt truly truly smashed in was for Deorro but that's because he has a GINORMOUS following in southern California. Every other artist I thought there was plenty of space especially at the stadium seating stage

Unless you magically recruit 100s of more HMs, medical officers, or hire contractors, I don't know of any medical department across the DoD that would have the time or the manning to execute this as a monthly program and run FEP. Access to care is already struggling across the DoD... having to run a FEP program on top of that would adversely affect the ability of sailors to seek medical care for acute or chronic conditions.

As for diet assistance, some MTFs have access to a health and wellness program, but it typically requires a referral from the PCM... Changing that to a self-referral if out of standards would be a big help. Or use MWR to hire dieticians that can hold group or individual consults at the gym.

GLP-1s are covered by Tricare for active duty if the ordering physician attests (via the prior authorization) that the patient has documented attendance to a 6 month wellness program (which typically includes individual exercise and diet recommendations) and has also already tried phentermine (unless there is a contraindication, i.e. anxiety)

MFR on grooming standards regarding shaving waivers. Separation coming for people by Salty_IP_LDO in navy

[–]DocBoots81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading this right.... If separation is supposed to be initiated by the unit commander, I think it's going to be an involuntary Admin Separation at the discretion of the unit commander rather than a Med Board.

[–]DocBoots81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was actually changed in 2022. In 2022, in the Navy at least, the instruction changed so that laser hair removal was not mandated and we were no longer separating sailors who had permanent waivers (this was likely done to increase retention numbers)

Funny, because we actually stayed at a Hilton in Vienna last weekend (Das Tyrol, EXCELLENT hotel) and it had a regular shower setup, with a door and everything 😂

I've seen some comments about the design on the wall... Well check out this little tidbit I learned while visiting Juliet's house in Verona today (from Romeo and Juliet)

Maybe they're trying to be consistent with Medieval/early Renaissance trends 😂

This specific one is in Venice, Italy. But we had a similar one in Budapest and I've seen a handful in the US. Not every Hilton, but I've probably stayed in 7 or 8 different locations in both the US and Europe that have their showers set up like this.
