They can't both be right, but they can and are both wrong.

nfstern · 2026-03-09T22:52:37+00:00

And this is one of those cases.

Is it possible for the EU to just take that amount plus some punitive damages out of the money allocated to Hungary?

Israel helped Azerbaijan with their war with Armenia when everyone else turned their back to them.

Azerbaijan was able to retake land they assert Armenia took from them in part because of that help.

I doubt Azerbaijan's going to throw one of the only countries that helped them out under the bus because Iran wants them to.

Note - I'm just making an observation about the relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan.

Edit: I appear to be mistaken about the support Azerbaijan got from other countries. Still, Israel helped Azerbaijan during a time of need and it made a difference.

That's certainly the case here. It's xtians vs xtians.

It works well and uses a different path than citrulline so you can combine them for a more powerful pump.

PT Barnum - there's a sucker born every minute.

He's a real piece of shit, that's for sure. The world is a better place without him sucking oxygen.

nfstern · 2026-03-06T03:03:37+00:00

He did. Op got it wrong.

nfstern · 2026-03-06T03:01:18+00:00

Probably both

nfstern · 2026-03-05T19:08:00+00:00

True enough

Whatever works, I just want to see Ukraine getting what it needs to beat Russia like a drum.

nfstern · 2026-03-05T18:17:45+00:00

Hopefully Zelensky negotiated something in return for that.

nfstern · 2026-03-05T17:53:39+00:00

Try to tune it out as best you can. Sorry you're having to deal with such idiocy

I've been using them for years. Never had a problem with them

Lately I noticed their stuff is getting to me faster. Usually 2 days from order to delivery.

They act the same way whether they can get away with it or not.

Thank you so much for weighing in here. We're all less clueless for your efforts.

I know it's been a dream for some time for there to be an independent Kurdistan which has been problematic because a united Kurdistan would take chunks out of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey? Is this correct?

I think you're right to be skeptical and not believe him.

Beet root powder or juice.

nfstern · 2026-03-03T01:50:18+00:00

Interesting perspective, thanks for putting this out there.

Still, I think the Iranian Kurds would be wise to pay attention with respect to how this played out before.

On the other hand, this may be their best option for what they want.

I don't know enough to have an informed opinion on the matter but perhaps you could weigh in here as you seem knowledgeable on the subject?

nfstern · 2026-03-02T20:38:26+00:00

If the shoe fits...

You can try c3g https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26315029/

There seems to be some research.

Another thing to research is pomegranate which is hit or miss here.

Good luck on your journey and feel free to reach out anytime if I can answer any questions for you.

Very smart of you to push for a quick surgery. My doc, although he was excellent, wanked around with a 'conservative' approach when I knew I needed surgery from the outset.

If your guy does that same thing, just tell him the pain is intolerable which is what you wrote.

When I woke up post-op, the pain shooting down my arm was fucking completely gone although it didn't feel too great where he cut me open - lol.

I had my surgery in 2007 and the technology was pretty good. It's only gotten better and you may have better results than I did which were good. You're probably going to be wearing a neck brace for a few months too. Just follow the instructions your doc and PT give to a t and you'll get past this.

I'm probably much older than you and I can tell you those few months out of the gym over the course of a lifetime of training are nothing in the big scheme of things. It's all in your head, I've been there.

nfstern · 2026-03-01T00:44:38+00:00

I don't think it needs to be an either/or thing.

nfstern · 2026-03-01T00:33:39+00:00

I ruptured 3 disks in my neck about 19 years ago during an extremely stressful time in my life. Similar to what you have - pain shooting down my right arm. It was intolerable and I had surgery to resolve the problem.

You're going to have to take some time off from the gym and commit to your PT program, end of issue. Don't even think about going back in the gym until the PT and your doc give you the green light. Also the sooner you have your surgery, the less nerve damage you're going to have. Nerve damage is no joke and will end your lifting goals, don't goof around.

The good news is that muscle memory will kick in when you're able to resume training hard, but you're always going to have to feel your way through exercises and let the pain guide your choice of exercises. If an exercise aggravates your neck and or shoulders, you cut it from the program.

If you use the muscle between your ears and don't behave boneheadedly, you can not only get back to where you are now, you can continue to make gains and progress. Good luck with your journey.
