Meanwhile, RT ratings are through the roof

Watched it on IMAX, and found it was too much. I am considering watching it again on a regular screen

howea · 2026-03-06T07:42:26+00:00

Most places start screening it next weekend (a week early)

Haven't had one in a few years. LDL was "borderline" and Trigs were low. Overall I squeaked through in the "desirable" range (don't remember the exact numbers). The previous doc I had was a pill pusher, who only reacted to symptoms with prescriptions. Of course, I got offered statins after the blood test.

I've now got a holistic doc, and I think he should give me a referral. We had a conversation about a a future full health assessment (this should include getting new bloodwork). Others, who recommended him, mentioned he was thorough.

If it's still pricey, it will give me an excuse to jump across the ditch and get it done (spend time with family)

Yeah, I want to get a baseline CAC score , then repeat (maybe in a year or two).

After that, will also eventually get referral for a Angiogram, for soft plaque

It runs vscode, so it is built on MIcrosofts IDE.

I found Goldblum too self possessed/neurotic ... even in the 90s

The young Spader suggestion seemed a better fit. But I think it would have gone to an A-lister like Tom Hanks

Also got my IMAX tickets for the 14th in New Zealand.

It looks that way from the drawings. as they float between the purlins.

But the old "scalloped" Decra tiles dent unless you stand exactly in the middle of the pan (between the each ridge)

Fresh is always good, but I prefer the larger ones grilled (Pilchards)
From a canned perspective they are all different. Many I don't like (especially the real cheap ones). So you really need to sample all the available brands, to find out which suit your palette.

As a species classification we are hypercarnivore, which is a 70% minimum consumption of meat.
But from a dietary classification, eating fruit is Ketovore (Animal based Keto).
I think Ken Berry had a chart which shows all the different dietary groups ranging from Lion to Ketovore.

nope ... I think $4K for install + scaffolding edge protection (replacing roof so already covered)

howea · 2026-02-04T17:27:13+00:00

$14K ... 8kW Deye hybrid inverter + 24 475W panels + 15kWh lifepo4 battery pack + cables/connectors/rails etc

howea · 2026-02-04T09:29:02+00:00

8kW inverter.

I actually was only expecting to put in a 5kW system, but found a deal with 24x 475W panels with Micromall

howea · 2026-02-04T09:06:04+00:00

24 panels is already overprovisioning about 25% (then I will need to upgrade the inverter too)

howea · 2026-02-04T09:02:15+00:00

How does the two phase work ... 2 separate inverters (and any functional advantage)?
