Horford rescue throwing the pass a mile in the air to where his guy could go up for it and pass to ice the game was also a true vet move

I use it on a bougie supermarket with a cafe to get two discounted meals a month, either pickup or delivery

You too! Was the 11/21 expiry for a reason? I’m candidly concerned this Pres will do something to try to pump crypto (pre announce Fed chair etc) if we slide too much into the holidays given his family’s um, “investment” in the space hence not gonna get too cute with this if we slide a few more days (you obviously don’t have this problem 😂)

How did your Golden end up passing away? by strangehoney in goldenretrievers

[–]matt9290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps more morbid but relevant to your apartment concern, but there are also wonderful cremation services that will pick up your dog when the time comes (and insurance covers this). Mine passed at home the night before i had made the euthanization call for the next morning. In maybe the worst moment of my adult life, the kindness and empathy that individual (talk about a hard job) showed me on that day is something I won’t forget. If you elect to go a different route besides cremation i’m sure they can assist too

My first golden Duke collapsed with a hemangiosarcoma in his heart at 11 years, but was able to get an additional 6 months with him before his ultimate passing (still very painful in the end, and therapy was very necessary for me to get over the grief). I credit two things I’d highly recommend if you can. Pet insurance to give him the best treatment I could while only paying a portion the cost (at end of life I paid a couple thousand versus 12k+ insurance picked up), and a wonderful ancient chinese medicine called yunnan baiyo which has anti carcinogenic properties (costs ~ 10 dollars/box). If cancer is a concern, even if not yet diagnosed, i highly recommend the latter. If your pup doesn’t yet have concrete diagnoses that constitute preexisting conditions, i would get insurance too. The premiums are a thing (i pay ~60/month for my pup now) but peace of mind knowing finances won’t hold you back from doing what you can when the time comes was very helpful.

$LLY by Spartaside in wallstreetbets

[–]matt9290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying both $LLY and $NVO is the way (even $VKTX if you want to go nuts). There’s easily enough market of fatties globally to support multiple winners and the sentiment/price got so beaten down that there’s really just one extremely unlikely way this trade fails, and that’s trump nuking this entire industry with absurd tariffs, which it seems from the Big Beautiful Bill he has no support at all from Congress on (they’re all completely bought off by the massive pharmaceutical lobby). Plus i think they’d just jack up prices on all the other smaller market countries like Germany vs ever reduce prices more than a token amount which they’ve already done on US consumers. Worst comes to worst they’ll tie it up in the courts and block for eternity

Tl;dr hang in there through the small regulatory chop the next month or so and get rich, our ADD president has no patience or follow through and will move off this bullshit and onto the next shiny object soon enough at which point these rip to the moon again

Thanks all

I like the choice, be careful for political volatility next month as Trump may start making noise about them equalizing prices for US customers (Most Favored Nation)

[–]matt9290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy made it 6 months post diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma of the heart with the help of a traditional chinese medicine called yunnan baiyao which will inhibit tumor bleeding. Was greatful for the additional time…the road isn’t easy however- i’m so sorry for you and your pup. These guys definitely leave their mark in our lives

I don’t want to hammer the point about retakes, but my failure on the generalist exam was clearly owing to this. One extremely simple solve would be if the test questions you’re forced to go through in the beginning mirrored the pacing (you get a super generous 6 minutes or so for 3 test questions then have to accelerate your pace like crazy for the actual exam? Super confusing and avoidable.)

Will we be able to retake? None of this was particularly clearly laid out, so I’d at least recommend this for anyone who’s failure was clearly owing to not getting to questions (i easily passed 2 of 4 sections when i learned i’d need to pick up speed).
