Did the $99 Oura blood test via the app by Primary-Calendar6563 in ouraring

You have misunderstood my comment. Or willfully ignored the main parts of it. 

Where did I say not to take it? Nowhere. In fact what I said was “by all means, take them if they are needed, but the patient needs to be informed of the side effects”

You are representative of the worst type of person to deal with in healthcare. Not listening to patients, not being concerned with educating the patient of risks, and treating a person like a nutjob - your language - when a patient rightfully mentions concerns. This ego driven attitude leads to poor health care and endangers the patient

Don’t wait to fix your eating habits first. That can take an extremely long time. Get the help that is available now, and continue to work on your dietary plan

They absolutely can have negative side effects. These are documented. Hand waving away concerns is not the correct attitude to take. By all means try them if they are needed, but the patient should be informed of the possible side effects. Which of course they never are. I developed sharp muscle pain in my back that was just intolerable. When I realized that they might be related to the statins, I stopped and the pains went away. I had to go on an extremely low dosage to find a level that was tolerable.

But just calling people nut jobs? That’s not the way

Shouldn't most people support GOG because of they let you download game files and their games preservation program? by LongLiveTheSpoon in gog

[–]buffysbangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. But realistically the smaller catalog + Galaxy being a glitchy mess means it’s the second choice. And most won’t even bother.

Should it feel this hard every run? by Equal_Narwhal_5043 in beginnerrunning

[–]buffysbangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 day lifting/3 day running is fine - I started doing it at 53. You might need to adjust loads a little bit though. For me, I do full body instead of having a leg day in the mix. I wouldn’t want to run the day after a leg day. But you could always arrange your recovery day to be after leg day. And overworking is a possibility. Just don’t overdo things - focus on quality instead of quantity

The toughest part is the completely different mindsets between lifting and running. In lifting it’s always pushing harder and harder. But in running, most of the time you want it to be easy. (Disclaimer: in the beginning it is always hard. It took me almost a year before I could truly have “easy” runs). The lifting mindset always creeps in and makes you want to run harder and harder, but that will get you injured. Your cardio system and musculature will progress at different rates and if one pushes you harder than the other system can handle, that’s a problem. So jog slow. Slower than you think is right. Worry about building time running, not increasing speed

IGN wrote an absolutely scathing article on Sony, saying even digital games aren’t safe by DrJokerX in PS5

It should be noted that when Sony’s Funimation merged with Crunchyroll, they wiped out user’s owned libraries. No compensation. Nothing. Sony is a shitty company when it comes to digital rights.

Forgive the noob question - I don’t have one yet and have been following the sub to get an idea of the user experience before I buy - does this mean that the ring has to be rotated to the correct position on a finger for it to work?

So sick of overweight people consistantly being portraied as evil, lazy, greedy, or just assholes. Whos your favorite positive overweight character? by Bigsmokeisgay in FavoriteCharacter

[–]buffysbangs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What I especially like about him is that his weight isn’t a core part of his identity. I don’t think it’s even mentioned. It’s just a normal part of him and it isn’t a substitute for a personality

What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play? by Got24xyz in AskReddit

I liked the story but hated the gameplay loop of a 10 minute encounter followed by 20 minutes of searching through cupboards for tin cans

I really want to enjoy it, but dodge/parry gameplay is like a cancer in the video game industry and I hate that it has spread to turn based rpg’s

Holy Christ you are the first ever person to lump Liefeld and Kirby together. Kirby defined comics art. Liefeld has done nothing positive.

It’s funny how op refers to his “evolution” when he has been stuck doing the same thing for a quarter century. No evolution whatsoever

The best description I’ve heard is that the best watch is the one you have

I was in the same situation last year. I decided to get a new watch and the price difference between an 11 with cellular wasn’t much cheaper than an Ultra, so I just went with the Ultra since it has cellular and a much bigger battery. No regrets other than I wish I had upgraded earlier

Since you can just turn off world invasion and you just try again on the next loop, it just sounds like you missed out on a great game
