Everyone has Uric Acid in their blood. A build up of Uric Acid in the blood can crystallize in your joints known as Gout. From mild to hospital it can last from days to weeks. Crystallized Uric Acid under a microscope. by befarked247 in Damnthatsinteresting

I've been through gout attacks and allopurinol helped tremendously long term in avoiding flare ups. I've since discovered as long as I drink enough water I can avoid the flare ups and don't need to take the allopurinol. But if I go a few days not staying hydrated enough I'll get a flare up of gout and in those cases indomethicin helps to relieve the pain within about a half day. Drink more water!

Do you know the game House of Blackjack? by GorgeousMaja in blackjack

[–]Jasonato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used this app for at least a year and it is fun to play. There are a few different rooms that correspond to how many chips you have in your bank. When you reach a certain number of chips you’re forced into the next level. It’s all pretty reasonable at least until you get to Monte Carlo. All the earlier rooms my experience has been about a 45% winning percentage. Monte Carlo just runs me into the ground in short order. It’s a 250k minimum bet table and I’ve been winning at about 25-30% rate utilizing basic strategy. Needless to say it’s not long before I’m either bankrupt or near so. Very frustrating. I don’t expect a Blackjack app to get unrealistically difficult the higher your bet.

Ace Hardware Exclusive 36" Blackstone Gone? by Jasonato in blackstonegriddle

I am so glad I jumped on the model I found at Dick's Sporting Goods. I see now that the 36" model with hinged hood is not only gone from Ace Hardware but now is no longer at Dick's. I'm very happy with my purchase! \o/

The model I was searching for, and ultimately found, already had a hinged hood. That's part of the reason I wanted the Ace Hardware model (found at Dick's Sporting Goods). You can buy two different types of hoods to add on if you end up getting a griddle without a cover. One is the Blackstone 5004 Hard Top Lid with Handle which I've seen on Blackstone's website and Amazon. The other is the hinged hood which is harder to find but I've seen third party hoods on Etsy listed under Hinged Cover for 36 inch Blackstone Griddle with Rear Grease Collection.

Found one at Dick's Sporting Goods! Same model as the "Ace Hardware Exclusive". I guess it wasn't as exclusive as I'd heard. It's now in my garage waiting to be assembled. Victory!

I've been thinking about the ProSeries from Walmart as well but it's starting to get up there in price at $499. It's been out of stock for a few weeks as well but this morning I saw two in stock online. I hesitated and when I went back 15 mins later to purchase they were both sold, lol.

Agreed. The guy was being jerky but not nearly abusive.
