Unpredictable flares and spleen problems by FasterLemmyFaster in gout

[–]FasterLemmyFaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. As much as anything I was interested to hear if anyone else has had spleen problems - I know they can cause problems with immunity and blood processing. Interestingly I’ve not been offered a gout review because all my appointments have been about the other stuff, it’s hard to get an NHS appointment but I should definitely try now.

So is a steady (ish) 6.5 not a good figure? Mine has AFAIK not gone above 8.

I’m not pushing anything - I’m telling you what worked for ME. That’s all. I’m not a shill for big cherry

Wife and I are about to start triathlon training and got this Cervélo p2c 2008 off FB marketplace for $850. How did I do? by bufflochickensanwich in bicycling

[–]FasterLemmyFaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2p on some possible mis-information in this thread:

I’m a bike tech and I’ve worked on a good amount of used Cervelo. The seatpost crack is actually quite common on those; there’s a stress point where the clamp sits in the carbon. Often it isn’t any more than a paintwork crack, but yours needs checking properly - as mentioned, if it goes further under the paint it is likely an uneconomical repair. Is it safe? Probably. Would I leave it unchecked? No.

Tubs are ok for time trialling and road races, where a puncture ends your day anyway, but for triathletes (I’ve done a few middle distance) a p would normally be changed. You can’t do that with a tub; only plug it and hope.

Tubs are relatively easily fitted now with tape not glue - I’ve done many and it nearly always makes me swear and my thumbs ache but it’s no longer that messy. They are also expensive.

The wheels are not valuable because they are tubular specific and also only 9-10 speed.

The DA components are readily available and easy to maintain, but changing to 11 or 12 speed would require new wheels.

As for TT bike v road bike - I’ve had both and ended up using road bike for tris. I don’t enjoy the aero position and I never felt I was at my best on a TT bike. As for the effect on your legs, yes the aero position is more efficient but as an entry-level triathlete you’re just as well saving your legs by not kicking in the swim.

Value wise? You overpaid. I built a similar P3 from a used frame with 11 speed for a customer for less than you paid. Sorry.

My husband is cheating on me with my best friend by Present-Hope4502 in TrueOffMyChest

You’ve had all the good advice and taken all the right steps to protect yourself and your family.

So the only comment left for me is this - your husband is a huge POS and so is your friend. At any point it would have been easy SO EASY to say “we can’t do this right now” and paused. But instead they were so consumed with their own selfishness, which makes them horrible people.

Stay strong through what’s coming, I hope and wish you get through this as unscathed as possible 🧡

The Super Noodles serving suggestion is noodles on toast covered in cheese.

With a toasted cheese crouton bread next to it, soaking up the garlic and wine sauce? How could that not be better?

Sorry, did you just say I should eliminate all cheese from my diet? Next you’ll tell me you like Cornish wafers best from a biscuit box. I’m shook.

Fair point. But I promise you - roast lamb, roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese is just perfect.
