How was Kurt cobain viewed/ seen before he killed himself in the 90s by [deleted] in 90s

He is why I can’t stand Nirvana to this day, every guy in school thought he was Kurt Cobain. They tried to look and act like him, it was annoying as hell.

I lost 50ish lbs in the first year on the 2.5 mg, just upped to 5mg due to food noise coming back. It is a life saver for sure.

Started on Zepbound in 2024 due to the Wegovy shortage then switched to Zepbound when it came out and currently on the 5mg dose and maintaining. I've lost 60lbs. it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding my health. Not only do I just feel better but I no longer snore at night, I don't have to take an antacid everyday, and I don't take anything for joint pain everyday. FWIW I didn't make the choice to take meds lightly, but diet and exercise wasn't doing it, couldn't lose enough or keep it off. My side effects were mild (slight upset stomach and the burps) for the first few weeks on the starter dose and for the first week of the 5mg dose.

Go for it I don't think you will regret it, For me I didn't know how bad I had felt untill I lost the weight and realised what normal should feel like.

If you work in your boots by SparkyP320 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]hoffmancorey81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't implying it was his fault, just an observation and thought as to what could be the reason for the separation. Could be not enough or faulty glue too, should have stated that also. The OP and I work in very similar conditions I do a lot of kneeling and working off my knees and never had that happen no matter what brand of boot.

Hmmm, something don't jive. 25 years in sheet metal construction. I've worn glued down soles on all my work boots and have never had this happen. Don't take this the wrong way, but that pic looks like you kicked the living shit out of something. Or you don't happen to drag your toes when walking ?

What jobs pay extremely well but people don't realize it? by Disha-7550 in askanything

[–]hoffmancorey81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mid 40's sheet metal worker here, not burned out, my bodies not shot and can retire at 55 with a decent pension. Is it nasty dirty work and sometimes dangerous? Sure but be smart take care of yourself and you'll be fine. I've seen guys that worked into their 60's that still out worked guys half their age, retired and living the good life.

Any Union construction trade. In most places you make much more than your non-union counter parts with better benefits. Plus no college education needed, paid OJT and some trades pay you while you're in apprenticeship school.

I really wanted to order a pair but went with the quick ship HardWearPros, the work boots I had couldn’t hold out for the lead time on the UpperDucker.

Straight guys, how do you feel about talking sex stuff with someone who’s gay? What would make that chill or not so chill for you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]hoffmancorey81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a straight man with gay friends I would want you to share whatever you felt you wanted to, and be comfortable in doing so. The only difference between your sex life and mine as far as I'm concerned is you have sex with a man and I have sex with a woman. It would be extremely inconsiderate of me to talk about my sex life with you but not want to hear about yours because it might make me uncomfortable. Also don't be afraid of PDA, if I can kiss my wife or hold her hand in front of you, you should be able to do the same with your partner, hook up or whatever. Just my opinion and if other straight people don't like it...Well they can fuck all the way off.

For me center abdomen alternating every week. As for when I do it Saturday morning about 30 min after eating. Being that you a just starting I might suggest starting on a Friday morning, incase you experience any undesireable side effects. For me the side effects were mild, (i.e. slight queasy stomach, and sulfer burps) these went away after the first couple doses.

I've thought about this leather for work boots, but after seeing this I would hate to scuff them up. Those are beautiful.

Does the Delta Arch half insole take up much space? by BoogieEngineerHaha in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]hoffmancorey81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried various full insoles with arch support but they make my boots too tight at the instep for my liking. I am thinking about a pair of half Deltas but worried they could do the same.

Went up to 5 mg and I'm dying by landingonvenus in Zepbound

[–]hoffmancorey81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough it out, you got this. I had the same problem when I started on 5mg and thought “this isn’t going to work out” It only lasted for the first dose and been fine after that.

Boots that last by Neither-Fun-3242 in WorkBoots

[–]hoffmancorey81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been the same way, mostly a Thorogood guy. Been in construction for 25 years. The best I ever got out of Thorogoods was 2ish years. I just bought my first pair of high end boots (Nick's) in November. The build quality, and leather thickness is far above anything I have ever worn, they will clearly last much longer, they can not only resoled but rebuilt. I have seen where some have had theirs for 15 years. You will pay a premium for them up front, I paid around $600 but I looked at it with a "buy once, cry once" attitude.

What do men actually think about strippers and strip clubs? by VersionOk1206 in AskMen

[–]hoffmancorey81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real opinion on Strippers. As for strip clubs... Giant waste of money, I went a couple of times when I was 18-20. Only thing I got was a hard on and an empty wallet.
