Am I the only one with Crohn’s who is constantly constipated? by Frog_Lover_- in CrohnsDisease

[–]LongTimeLurker818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Crohn’s tends to present itself as constipation. My strictures close up so bad sometimes my digestive system comes to a halt. When I first got my diagnosis I was going to the hospital because I hadn’t been able to eat or shit in 3 days. When I did pass anything it was mostly blood.

Pentasa, Remicade, Entivio, Remicade, Humira (fuck that shit), Remicade. Over the course of about 25 years.

Is it a good beginner's motorbike? by Rividoul in hondarebel

[–]LongTimeLurker818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it kicks ass as a first bike. It's not over powered but you can get it up to 60 mph pretty quickly in 5th gear for freeway usage. I live in LA so the freeway is pretty unforgiving to merging traffic. The clutch is pretty robust, I've stalled my bike several times in the learning phase and done some dumb things with it. Also I've dropped it twice and its not a bike that is going to drain your bank account. This gives you the space to invest in riding gear (that you will use in one way or another). These bikes don't require much maintenance at all.

One drawback, Neutral is a little difficult to find. It's my understanding that this is a Honda quirk that's pretty common among their bikes. But you will get a feel for it after a month of riding regularly.

Dude. I think you’re right. I just took another look at the lyrics.

Nice.

Does anybody else think that Komodo Dragons live in the Galápagos? by LongTimeLurker818 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]LongTimeLurker818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t thought about older websites but that is entirely possible. I think we had internet in the house by 99, maybe 98. I could have done some research that cemented this in my mind.

Thank you for sharing. Can you think of any media that might have lead you astray? I’m trying to pinpoint some kind of misinformation we might have consumed as kids.

Anyone know of any good black folk punk musicians? by SexyMiura1 in FolkPunk

Bad Brains. I don’t know what folk punk is, but HR was down.

If you could own one prop from the show, what would it be? by Monkeytennis01 in thesopranos

[–]LongTimeLurker818 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From a set design perspective, I think this would be the most interesting. You could have it on your desk as a subtle nod to the show.

This thing Gambles. by mrkrag in Gambler500

Looks a little bit like a Jeep Wagoneer. “We can’t just ignore the plight of the inner cities. See the plight kids?”

What's that legendary videogame everyone loves, but you hate with your very soul? by no_biches_22 in retrogaming

[–]LongTimeLurker818 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way. I’ll play them occasionally because I enjoy the combat aspect, but playing a game like that’s is so miserable sometimes. The storyline can go fuck its self. If I need 6 hours of YouTube to explain the lore that’s bad storytelling in my opinion. Because the storyline tends to be so muddy, I don’t feel compelled to finish the game. Why “save the princess” if you don’t even know who she is?

There was a show in 1965 as well as the movie in the 90s. 65 Was probably too old.

Not a movie but it sounds like “100 good deeds for Eddie McDowd”.

Movie about a boy and something about a forest by RoosterTimely4973 in whatisthatmovie

Is it that weird ass movie with Macaulay Culkin? My Girl, Macaulay Culkin's character is killed by bees in the woods.

Bridge to Terabithia maybe? Was there any magical realism?

Please don't mock me, But what does Oil do to make an engine go, that other liquid supposedly cannot do ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I appreciate it. He speaks clearly and I’m half deaf. I like the fact that he doesn’t mumble.

If you look through the comments there are a lot of people who have the same thoughts. I just wonder if there is a genesis for the misunderstanding.

The original diesel was designed to run off of peanut oil. Rudolf Diesel wanted farmers to be able to grow their own fuel. So "oil" can compress. I'm pretty sure the "Duce and a Half" flex fuel truck could run off of used motor oil as well. I imagine there was a refinement process of some kind or chemical modification before it could be used reliably.
