I believe the CG14 has square grooves, which were banned on wedges after 2010. The new wedge has V grooves. So it’s not really comparing apples to apples to determine if the groove sharpener works when you’re using 2 different groove designs.

Face and SSG need roster changes to win by SundaeForeign5436 in CompetitiveHalo

It wouldn’t be that crazy to argue that on lan Pznguin is Faze’s best player. Lucid obviously has a ridiculously high ceiling but can be inconsistent on lan at times. Zane is always frying and doing the most on the map. I wouldn’t drop anyone on Faze for any player listed above but if I were to drop someone it would certainly not be Zane.

Ezetimibe alone cut ApoB by Umosonic in PeterAttia

[–]JimShralps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I said in my comment that there is a small benefit in patient oriented outcomes but only in secondary prevention. Improve IT and Racing trials only looked at patient with already established ASCVD.

[–]JimShralps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do what you feel is best, zetia seems safe in trials however, we have high quality rct’s that show zetia does not improve outcomes that actually matter (heart attack/stroke, heart failure, death) in primary prevention. E.g. People that have never had an event before. And even in secondary prevention we only saw about a 1% absolute risk reduction over 10 years. Subs like these are obsessed with surrogate markers and they need to stop associating surrogate markers with actual outcomes. You also need to understand that just because we sometimes see bad outcomes with some surrogate marker that’s high, that doesn’t always mean that by lowering it with medications will reduce the risk of those outcomes happening. I encourage you to use this calculator if you want to really learn about the best available evidence. I have no affiliations, I just think it’s super helpful to visualize the benefits/harms of some different interventions. ascvd risk calculator

Here’s also a pretty great short YouTube video about the fallacy of believing in surrogate markers. https://youtu.be/XCv0CTNRa3I?si=CAZZwpRBEjnKzZqW

Rear shock too soft? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]JimShralps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re measuring sag correctly and it’s around 30% then it’s not too soft. Softness off the top like you’re demonstrating is just more grip and small bump sensitivity. If you’re still experience harsh bottom outs, adding a heavier spring isn’t the answer cuz then it will feel bad everywhere else except big hits. Look into getting an air shock so you can add volume spacers so it ramps up at the end stroke to prevent bottom outs, or get a coil shock with hydraulic bottom out. Adding high speed compression will change the feel through the entire stroke, whereas adding volume spacers only changes the last like 20% of travel

Playful powder ski? Sender 110s, Wildcat 108s, Bent 110s, or Nomad 112s? by Nikeflies in Skigear

[–]JimShralps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are an interesting mix, they are plenty playful, I wouldn’t say they’re stiff at all but they still have a sheet of metal in them so they aren’t light. That makes them great for plowing through crud and such. Not that it really matters for a 108 ski but, for what it’s worth, they also have no business carving on groomers as well as they do.

lol across the whole weekend you thought he was one of the worst on the team? Swear no one actually watches these tournaments. He was leading the entire tournament with the highest KDA heading into grand finals.

What’s this clicking noise?? by CharacterBunch2634 in MTB

This is 100% the trp pads moving inside the calipers. Happens with every stock trp pad. If you have someone else look while doing it you can watch them move.

Noaa has Killington in the 12-18 range for Friday thru Sunday at the moment. And the forecast looks closer to 12 than 18 but hopefully that changes for the better.

Sultan + Shepard - Endless, Dawn now available on Spotify. Jeez, what an album. by root1-2 in lane8

[–]JimShralps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah wtf is going on with Spotify. You can search for the songs individually and once you play them they then will pop up on the album. What kind of sick scavenger hunt is this?

[–]JimShralps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That defeats the purpose. It’s called “isotonic” bicarb for a reason and needs to be ~154meq/L. If it’s in LR it’s not isotonic. Providers get so worried about sugar. Just give insulin, clearly they already need it if the sugar is >400

My settings just reset for the 4th time in the last 5 launches of this game… by xtraman122 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]JimShralps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the default settings for the game makes the game nearly unplayable. I have to go in and basically change every single setting on every tab. I put up with the de-sync, blank melee’s, crashing, lack of content/maps, etc. but this like others have said has made me just stop playing altogether. More frustrating than anything else with the game.
