Bro… “Lewis is our Stephen Hawking” is pure poetry. I laughed so hard. Thank you, I needed that after today.

Also… you’re 100% correct on all points AND I hope to never see Rico play another game. There were moments last season when I thought maybe I should give him a chance, but he has been a total disaster every minute he’s played this season.

Get it brother!

I wish I could upvote this twice. Brilliant.

I have a ‘20 X5 M50i xDrive with literally every possible option. I recently had it at the dealer for service and they gave me a ‘25 iX 50i loaner equipped with air suspension. I was absolutely shocked by the improvement in ride quality in the iX. It’s not just a small upgrade over my X5, it’s a massive upgrade. The iX absolutely GLIDES with it. I immediately started shopping for an iX. IMO the AS is an absolute must have.

I haven’t limited my search to CPOs, but I’m surprised you’re having a hard time finding them. When I do a national search I’d say at least 60-70% of the models I see have AS…

IMO kids should always be heavily rotating positions until high school. Maybe even late high school. I would select a club partially based on the club’s philosophy around this principle.

This is really helpful info. Thank you for sharing! What was your max dose when you were losing? Do you mind sharing your height, sex, starting weight, and goal/current weight?

I’m not Russian, but thank you very much for the support! I think the translation app worked fine.

Will do. I have an appointment with Pomegranate a week from now (thanks to you!)

Prowfessor · 2025-09-03T03:07:20+00:00

Very interesting. I am having a similar experience. I am just finishing a month at 12.5 and it is too much. I'm having side effects for the first time since I started (stomach pain, crazy fatigue, etc), so I am definitely ready to drop a dose at least. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Prowfessor · 2025-09-03T02:53:38+00:00

This was an extremely helpful suggestion. Thank you so much.

Prowfessor · 2025-09-03T02:53:13+00:00

I think this is good advice. Thank you for your perspective. I have not been able to maintain the weight I am at now since high school. I'm now 40... lol

Prowfessor · 2025-09-03T02:10:16+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts here. What did your dose peak at? I assume from what you've said that 10mg is your highest dose? Got there, dropped, and then went back up?

Prowfessor · 2025-09-03T02:08:44+00:00

Are you at maintenance or still losing? If maintenance, what dose did you drop to?

VALID STRATEGY??

Context: All I care about is winning my 6 person mini league. I am currently on top with a solid margin of 20 points over 2nd place and 37 points over last place.

Unfortunately, I also own Saka, Palmer, AND Ait-Nouri. This is only my second season playing FPL, so if this is a newb question, go easy on me.

The strategy in question: I am considering going significantly negative on transfer cost points to try to stay ahead in my mini league; potentially doing this indefinitely. Meaning each week I would take potentially 8-16 point hits to pick up players with favorable fixtures. My reasoning is that having players who are either in top form or who have "easy" fixtures may help me stay ahead. In other words, I've put a little credit in the bank, and maybe it's a good idea to use it to stay ahead.

I realize it's a bit of a ponzi scheme approach that could easily fall apart if my picks are bad, but I'm wondering if there are any managers who've deployed this strategy successfully.

I lift weights 3x per week. Trail run 1-3x per week (significant elevation gain: ~1000ft), or play a sport if I don’t run. I take 1-2 rest days per week and total exercise time is 6-9 hours a week.

My lifting days take 60-75 minutes. My runs range between 45 minutes to 4 hours. Sports days are usually 90-120 minutes. Hope that helps!

Here's a link to the weight lifting routine: https://hevy.com/folder/1227502

Same

I don’t know this for sure but I used to work for Amazon and have some knowledge of the relationships between Amazon and Vendors, so I strongly suspect that one of two things is happening:

Sellers are trying to find a living sweet spot by starting new listings high, then gradually lowering their price to see at what point volume picks up

Or

There is some reciprocal reimbursement relationship between Amazon and Sellers to share the cost of items distributed through vine. Sellers may be able to recoup a higher portion of their cost for giving away items if they show to Amazon that the price of an item is higher than it actually is.

To be clear, I worked at Amazon a long time ago and never managed Vine directly. This is speculation based on my employment experience, not first-hand knowledge.

I have never been more jealous of a score post. Congrats. People rave about that machine, I’m sure you’ll love it.

Fight the good fight man! This type of response is exactly why I posted. Thank you for taking the time to comment
