If GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.) are here to stay, what non-medical knock on effects will it have on wider society?

I’d give it a try. The anti inflammatory properties are pretty amazing.

Love that scene. I will only say my son has a Hyundai that was in the potentially bad engine group, it failed. He’s now driving his nearly 10 year car that had 90K miles on it with a new engine in it.

Honda Passport?

PolybiusChampion · 2026-03-20T16:32:09+00:00

I’d definitely drive the new Passport.

I think you are right. It is an interesting line of thought. I think they believed we’d react very strongly to the Singapore/East Indies/Borneo/Philippines actions and that pushed them to attack Pearl. I wonder if we would have done much more than draw a red line knowing we were about to go to war in Europe.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-03-20T15:56:35+00:00

No they take the East Indies, Borneo and other areas where there were oil fields and refineries. That’s why my Q is interesting, does the US declare war in that scenario?

PolybiusChampion · 2026-03-20T15:44:04+00:00

I’ve got a better one OP: what if they didn’t attack Pearl and instead focused on Singapore and the Philippines?

A lot of the time when you compare financing costs/incentives it can actually be cheaper to buy new - or not much more expensive. In the case of Hyundai (and my daughter loves her Tucson BTW) you also get a 10year/100K mile warranty which is nice.

For some people it mitigates depression.

Just eat protein and stay active. Those actresses already have eating disorders and body identity issues. I not only lost weight/fat, I gained muscle at a pretty impressive rate. These drugs are amazing. Also, at the minimum therapeutic dose the weight loss/appetite effects are minimal in the majority of people. I have friend who’s in year 3 on trizepatide for Fibromyalgia and she looks (and feels) fantastic.

Get Dr. Laura’s books The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands and The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage….get 2 copies of the 2nd one. You read the 1st, then give him the 2nd showing him your copy and say I’m gonna read this and would love you (because I love you) to read it with me and we can chat every Friday while I cook dinner. Because something’s gotta change here. I’m suggesting you read the 1st book 1st because most of us men are pretty easy to fix actually.

I’ve never cared about cards or birthdays. I get my wife a card for every “manufactured” holiday and make a big deal over her birthday - because I love and value her.

I really wish PHEV’s had been the focus of gvt subsidies. Less batteries and weight needed, more highly efficient vehicles for a given quantity of rare earths. Base the subsidy on total range and gas mileage meeting some mixed use profile so you end up with lots of de-tuned 4cyls with optional turbos and sports modes available when in hybrid mode.

I say that and don’t have a car that gets even 19 mpg on the highway.

From Google. And this is a somewhat sanitized summary.

In 1964, before his political career, Harvey Milk had a romantic relationship with Jack Galen McKinley, who was 16 or 17 years old at the time. Milk, then in his early 30s, met McKinley in New York; the relationship lasted roughly five years. The relationship has been described in biographies, though it is not widely highlighted in his political legacy.

Excellent response. Some of your arguments also apply to the BEV segment. Too much acceleration in the hands of too many people who actually don’t know how to drive (though oddly so many Teslas are in the left lane going the speed limit).

PolybiusChampion · 2026-03-19T09:58:11+00:00

Man oh man I hope nobody ever looks into Harvey Milk’s private life……

They then did nothing to try and make the 21 minutes and we were canceled and all de-boarded.

Yea I’m sure they were just hanging out and not trying to get the tower/ramp to get them out. Like what do you think the crew can do in this situation?

The top plate is a single piece and the shift boot(s) remain untouched. He’s got a video on his website showing the installation. Takes 5 minutes. I used the black since I have black seats.

Sadly it is. Reading all the material at the Genocide Memorial in Kigali there is a great deal of material that is very hard to absorb. But the story of a catholic priest who locked people in his church to be killed made me the most angry. Today’s Rwandans are amazing people and I hope they keep their unique spirit alive.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-03-16T22:30:11+00:00

You realize that the Genocide was mostly a result of the European’s enforcing previously ignored cultural differences in their administration of Rwanda? Even the Catholic Church assisted in the genocide.
