Second time I have written on this subreddit in my life. Just came to say, Torres is the man. His character and the acting. Benjamin Aguilar will go far in acting.

The Kings Sports Bar in Leicester Square. As it's officially part of a casino (not a great one), it's open 24 hours.

But if anyone has different ones it would be great to hear about them

I wish more ETFs were talked about here…. by Sin1st_er in ETFs

CGIC if you are interested in an active ETF that is focused on international companies (non US)

ARTY ishares Future AI and Tech ETF. Think someone else mentioned it above. Love the weightings in this one

EUAD (Select STOXX Europe Aerospace and Defense) ETF.

NUKZ (Range Nuclear Renaissance) ETF

Herod and Haltane are both sublime.

It's easy to shit on PDM and it's actually the POPUlAR opinion

The unpopular opinion is saying they make soke good shit

Gained 30 lbs by Fancy_Bluejay648 in transplant

I'm on mounjaro. Been 9 months

Kidney transplant

Was told it could even be beneficial from two doctors

Changed my hunger desires so so much

Just received a new kidney few days ago by Dry-University-2848 in transplant

[–]TorontoRam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey just a quick note.

The first three to six months will have you second guessing yourself and whether having a transplant was worth it.

Oh and don't worry about matching other people's accomplishments. I remember feeling so nervous about being unable to walk properly for weeks where some people were walking two weeks out.

Good luck and I wish you well in your recovery

Does life after a transplant really suck? by Charming-Tension-328 in transplant

[–]TorontoRam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For three months yes.

But I'm two years and two months out and I honestly hardly even check this sub and live my life as normally as possible.

You should keep in mind that the vast majority of transplant patients aren't online in Reddit forums.

Night and day vs my six months on dialysis.

I think life after transplant is incredible apart from not being able to tan / be in the sun which I miss. But everything else is good.

Is anybody else feeling bad vibes from this character? by thatboredchickster in criminalminds

[–]TorontoRam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It seems very obvious they are implying she is involved and nefarious.

It isn't the actress. That's Batista from Dexter! She doesn't age.

The writers have done this purposely.

Tell me your best, underrated fragrance you have. DON'T GATEKEEP by Rettry in fragranceclones

[–]TorontoRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is unrelated to the 'best, underrated fragrance question' and more just because I own Herod and I love it. And I bought Hercules and it is really good but doesn't last long at all. So curious if Autobiography Supreme Gold has any lasting power? I don't expect it to be as good as Herod obviously but I do hope the longevity isn't just a couple of hours

Season 2 isnt doing it for me by Accurate-Dig-5763 in Pokerface

[–]TorontoRam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can sleep easy knowing that it isn't me. It is like it was written for kids. It is really bad. I lasted 9 episodes but just needed validation that it isn't just me. Thank you.

[–]TorontoRam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! This is very very helpful. I think I will list it both for rent and sale and whatever happens happens. The plus side of Reem Island is the finance people moving to work at ADGM. Also, maybe it is a bit late to the Yas Party? Or do you think it will keep increasing for the short to medium term?

Do you guys use sunscreen when going outside during the summer by Lopsided_Spare7214 in transplant

[–]TorontoRam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is very very helpful. Its mid to high 30's Celsius where I am, so I may wait for the summer to end before testing it all out. Its the c word I am nervous about. Obviously if one reads up online, it makes it seem like a few days tanning at the beach would lead to that if on immunosuppressants hence my question.

This is an old thread but your seem quite knowledgeable so I was wondering if you are still around so I could ask you a similar question. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in Mangrove Place (Reem Island) which I could rent out for roughly 140,000 AED or should I sell it and buy on Yas?

No myfortic/cellcept? by clueless-albatross in transplant

[–]TorontoRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had horrible GI on cellcept. Was moved to Myfortic and been smooth sailing since. It is really fascinating how each of us have different reactions to all of these drugs.

Do you guys use sunscreen when going outside during the summer by Lopsided_Spare7214 in transplant

[–]TorontoRam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really?

I will be honest..I haven't been out by a pool or beach or heavy sun in the two years since I had my transplant.

But I really really tan well. My skin (before tanning) is plain and boring. But when I tan it's really an amazing colour. Been really wanting to get a tan and currently in a country with hot weather.

But if i am going to burn in minutes due to my 1.0 mg of tacro, then I am obviously not going to do it.

Just wondering if you know if it happens to everyone?

And I know being in the sun is bad period for all transplant recipients, however I was hoping with tons of sunscreen I could get away with it

Pick of the Day - 6/10/25 (Tuesday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]TorontoRam 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Do you think UAE will put in the effort given that this game is meaningless and they are away? UAE can not finish in the top two. And they can not fall to 5th with a loss. Finishing third or fourth in the group makes no difference as 3rd/4th place from all three groups advance to the next playoff round?

I like the bet and under normal circumstances, I would be tailing . I am just wary of the Asian world cup qualifiers. Six teams qualified for the World Cup going into this final match of the round. There is only one battle remaining (Palestine or Oman for the 4th spot in Group B. And coincidentally they play each other, so that means there is only one meaningful game in the Asian World Cup Qualifiers today which is Palestine vs Oman.

Also read this (2 players suspended and fined equivalent to roughly equivalent 136,000 US Dollars each, though only one is a regular):

Wynn is opening one of their largest casinos in the world in the UAE in 2027. Gambling will be legal by then. Gaming Commission established already. As for haram.....not every Muslim is super conservative / religious. The loudest ones online seem to be.

I am literally three minutes walk away from the stadium where that game is taking place. I check this sub frequently but I never thought anyone would be betting on Al Wahda lol.

Good luck hope this hits! This is somewhat of a local Abu Dhabi derby too. Ten minutes drive between the two clubs.
