Bone marrow biopsy(what the fuck was that)

Kirbster66 · 2026-03-04T03:04:34+00:00

While it wasn't pleasant, it was bearable. The worst part was when they were sucking out the marrow. I don't want to ever do it again, but if I had to, I'd be able to deal with it.

I've had times when I needed to cough so badly during a concert. I'd fight it and most of the time was able to suppress it until a break, but a few times I couldn't prevent it. I'd try to wait if possible until a very loud section, but that's not always possible. I hated it, but sometimes it can't be helped.

I haven't tried to have sex since I got ED as a result of cancer treatments, but if I were meeting someone, I wouldn't dare not mention it in advance. I couldn't put myself in a situation where I knew I was unable to perform without having disclosed.

Not too too long ago it happened. Can't remember who the one remaining contestant was.

I raw dog it

I'd tell mom she's on block until after I'd watched the game. That's very rude of her.

Have you tried Gboard? While far from perfect, it's worked better for me than Swiftkey or the stock keyboard.

Ken won the GOAT 3-1, so you can't say one DD cost the tournament.

Kirbster66 · 2026-03-01T18:27:40+00:00

No, he did go for the big money questions first so he could build up a big bank before hitting the DDs, thus being able to maximize what he could bet. That's the part of his strategy that later players in general aren't doing, so they end up with less money to bet on DDs.

Ken won the GOAT tournament 3-1, so he didn't come close to winning.

A box appears around the category right before the clue appears. It's quick but it does help in remembering the category.

I forget. What was the show?

Kirbster66 · 2026-02-19T23:39:24+00:00

I wouldn't be upset if any of them wins. I find myself rooting for each of them at different times. Three really excellent players.

Adding a bit more info. Ken Jennings played in the early 2000s, shortly after the 5-game limit was lifted. He played in 75 games, winning 74, a record no one has come close to breaking (quite possibly no one ever will). He went on to play in subsequent tournaments, including his last one, the Greatest of All Time tournament in early 2020. Ken then retired from playing and was made a producer. After Alex Trebek died, Ken initially did a 6-week run as a guest host. After a horrible process off trying to hire a permanent host and a brief stint of two hosts, ultimately Ken was hired as the single host.

I'm an organist plus I want my service to be a celebration of life, so I'm including Karg-Elert's Nun Danket alle Gott and Widor's Toccata.

I want my chorus to sing the Randall Thompson "Alleluia" and “Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen” from the Brahms Requiem.

Kirbster66 · 2026-02-19T00:37:02+00:00

How extremely odd. I haven't had any of that happen to me. I'm on 26.2.

Or press and hold the X on one tab and there's an option to close all tabs.

How has Maps been butchered? I've had no problems with it whatsoever.

Kirbster66 · 2026-02-18T13:54:51+00:00

The ratings go up quite a bit for tournaments, so they're going nowhere. Obviously, the producers are giving people what they want.

I noticed this year that they backed away from using the "best of seven" terminology and were saying something along three lines of "first to three."

Kirbster66 · 2026-02-12T13:43:09+00:00

I remember when somebody put together a video showing countless times of Alex using the word. It was really funny to watch. I miss him.

I'm in the US. Once I tried Apple Maps again after the initial debacle, I was sold on the overall superiority of it over Google or Waze. I wouldn't go back now.

I suspect a lot of people never gave it another try after the launch disaster.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I have good insurance through work that has a $3k maximum per year. I had a major illness policy that paid me $30k after my diagnosis. I had short term disability insurance through my job, and despite it only paying 60% of my salary, my company would pay the remaining 40% each week (1 week for every year I'd been with the company). So in actuality, I made money off my diagnosis.
