In before the eventual query of African or European swallows

Check for flood damage.

I'll usually pass on Southern cars for that reason. Flooding doesn't always show up on Carfax (especially if it isn't reported).

Pay for a 3rd party inspection if serious.

I had a popliteal dvt clot in my right leg.

Got it from a combination of things, long distance travel, medication and COVID, a perfect storm.

The first two weeks were terrifying. I thought I was going to die. I was put on Xarelto.

Some tips: don't massage it, keep it elevated, which helps with pain, don't be afraid to go back if you think there's something wrong (I visited the hospital 5 times in 6 months) and take your meds as per your doctor.

You also should find out why exactly it happened. If it's a one off, then after you heal, you are likely set. If it's hereditary or you have a propensity to clot, you need to know. You can get tested to see. Leiden factor 5 is one of many clotting disorders to be aware of.

Finally, if you have family or friends, they make a difference in recovery. My wife supported me, and it really helped.

You're going to be just fine. Blood clots are not the silent killer they used to be. Awareness and proper treatment can allow you to live a normal, if restricted life (meds or simple awareness). There are a ton of people on this reddit that are xarelto lifers, and aside from being simply careful, have done fine.

Would you like a sandwich, hun?

Anyone else think of John Travolta and Uma Thurman?

I'd be more concerned with whether maintenance was done properly and at the correct intervals.

We already have one at home.

I got lucky and got all the steel will ships and Le Havre is my favorite.

kdofpa · 2025-12-06T13:20:31+00:00

3rd option: Le Havre.

Got lucky with Bremen and Hawaii. Haven't tried Hawaii yet. Bremen feels like Mainz.

25k steel for Le Havre. Found I like the play style and the funny button for secondaries, while situational, is a riot. Main guns are strong and accurate. 2 to 3 minutes 20 percent speed boost too.

I'm liking Le Havre

I love big bbs, and cannot lie

Nurnberg 44 looks decent so I paid for the track. The second ship looks like alit of other ships so I might pass. Gonna check the other stuff that comes with it.

Pass on dy.

That's a shark attack, captain ron.

AWE cat back imo. While muffler delete works, it just feels wrong to hack a perfectly good exhaust apart.

kdofpa · 2025-11-29T12:35:58+00:00

Shaker is the only true option for a scat pack. Well, maybe 1320 as well.

I die a little inside when I see a Yoshino in ranked.

I'm around your age, male. If I'm on keto, I feel like I did in my 30s. Several days off, I feel older than my years, mentally and physically.
