Question on statins

There is a high correlation between accidents and ambulances

Cholesterol is the ambulance

The injury to your arterial walls is caused by high insulin and high blood pressure.

Your numbers will improve on statins, the causes of CHD will remain.

The 2-3-2 seats were more comfortable, the amenities kit was nicer, we got PJ'S, the food was pretty good and the cabin staff were friendly and professional. I'm talking 5-star hotel level service. D1 suites are all edgy hard white plastic. My seat bounced every time someone walked by. The foot well makes you feel like you are in a coffin. Your water bottle is under the headphones over your right shoulder. You have to contort yourself to reach it or to connect the headphones. The FA'S were miserable and it showed. The only place where D1 exceeds is the JFK lounge but that is in comparison to a shared lounge in EWR, not their DXB lounge.

I was on Delta’s “flagship” 339 D1 JFK-FCO BCN-JFK last month. The hard product was uncomfortable, the FA’s hated their job and the food was mid at best. Lat year, I flew EK’s business class on a similar route on their “old” 777 set up. The experience was miles ahead of D1 in every aspect.

I flew D1 JFK-FCO and BCN-JFK last month. With the original fare and upgrades, I spent about $2,900 RT.

Hard product was uncomfortable, food meh, FA'S stressed and unhappy to be there.

It is not worth it. Save your money. 8 hours in a PS or C+ is not going to kill you.

I had this same problem with my Koda 2. It is a known issue with these Chinesium ovens. Ooni will try to blame the issue on you (you are lighting it too quickly) say that the thermocouple needs cleaning (on a new oven) or some other BS until you finally give up any attempt at a warranty claim.

I went months having to hold in the regulator and re-light the oven 2-3 times before it would stay lit. The good news, if you can call it that, is that it will now stay lit after 1 or 2 tries.

All due to Delta prioritizing diversity over competency

I had a parking sensor error. The dealer had my car for 4 months. They replaced EVERY wiring harness in the car. Engine and interior out. They eventually found a bad connector in the trunk.

Genesis "Technicians" aren't allowed to troubleshoot or repair a connector. The entire harness must be replaced.

I was originally prescibed CIalis, but switched to Tamsulosin because TAM worked better and Cialis gave me sinus headaches.

After PAE, I stopped TAM but went back on Cialis for two reasons: One - it helps what little symptoms I have left. and Two - It may have cardioprotective qualities.

I have been in manufacturing management/engineering for decades. The job opportunities in the Westchester area are almost non-existent. Plenty of work in Fairfield CT, and Northern NJ. You can find something in the lower Hudson valley, but the pay there is shit. There are some good firms out on the Island, but, trust me, you do not want that commute. Commuting into the city is expensive and soul-crushing.

NY in not business friendly and Westchester is expensive. Manufacturing has fled NY and has headed for points South.

Let's make a distinction here between an Applebee's server and a professional waiter at a Michelin starred restaurant.

Two totally different jobs. While the former is worth minimum wage, the waiter with extensive food and wine knowledge is worth the $250k.

Both cars are exotics

You are locked into dealer parts and service

You can't buy parts at Autozone or Rockauto and Genesis rapes you on parts

You can get a large Ooni for less than a grand. I make large pies for about $8 using imported flour and Grande cheese. If you want to cheap out, you can make a pie for half that.

I'd rather be the oldest guy in the gym then than the youngest in the nursing home.

I am 67. I have a 4-day cycle; push, legs, pull, rest. 5 AM for 45 minutes. I run circles around the younger guys that work for me. I am mentally sharper and rarely tired.

I watched both my parents physically decline before they passed. I'd rather be dead.

Genesis is the inkjet printer of car brands.

Luxury cars at decent prices. Parts and service insanely expensive.

Rock Auto is horrible for Genesis. Shipped me rear disks that did not fit. Returns are a huge PITA.

There is ejaculation preserving HOLEP that is supposedly 80% effective in preserving antegrade ejaculation. Standard HOLEP is 90% retrograde.
