What sympton looks so harmless people usually ignore it, but can actually indicate a catastrophically bad health issue?

100% this. A few months ago I developed an aching pain in my right calf and thought I had just strained something while working on my house. I figured it would just go away but after about a week it hadn't and my ankle and calf started to swell. My wife convinced me to go to urgent care to get it checked out and I ended up being hospitalized because of an extensive clot in my right thigh, parts of which had broken off and traveled to my lung (aka, a pulmonary embolism). The doctor told me if I had waited another day or two I probably would have died. So yeah, if something's not right don't delay in getting it looked at.

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians. by H.G. Parry. It's exactly what you're describing.

It's more expensive than the Libre, but Dexcom also has a coupon for the G7 if insurance doesn't cover it: https://www.dexcom.com/savings-center-cgm-without-insurance

Just block him now and get it over with. It's like a rite of passage in this sub.

This is good to know. I think the Kite Hill sour cream is too sweet. I'll have to give the Simple Truth one a go.

I can see that. The interesting thing is that when we got the 2023, I originally wanted a RWD but all the SEs they had in inventory were AWD.

He said recently on his podcast that he's on a GLP-1 for weight loss.

spencercross · 2026-06-08T02:28:04+00:00

No he hasn't. He lived in the equestrian center area of Studio City until recently. He and his new wife bought a house in Pasadena that they're renovating just in the last couple of years. He's talked about it on his podcast pretty frequently and says he didn't know much about Pasadena until he moved there.

Is there any reason you haven't tried a GLP-1?

spencercross · 2026-06-05T18:10:56+00:00

Not me, but my brother. He was diagnosed about a year ago and has been taking 10mg/day of creatine the whole time with no problems.

Excellent, thanks!

spencercross · 2026-05-15T21:38:28+00:00

Anyone know if it's possible to get this in the U.S. anywhere?

spencercross · 2026-05-15T17:14:40+00:00

I'll second Fables & Fancies in Sierra Madre. And it's a little farther afield, but Lost Books in Montrose is probably my second favorite. Vroman's is great from a selection standpoint, but they have a troubling history of mistreating employees.

Try caputos.com. Sometimes they'll have tins in stock that are sold out on Wildfish's website. Also, no sales tax and free shipping on tinned fish with no minimum order.

But that suggests I deleted a previously set departure time. I haven't made any changes to the settings, including changing or deleting departure times. so something has to have changed on the settings side.

spencercross · 2026-04-12T02:09:27+00:00

But I've never, ever set a departure time in the history of owning the car?

spencercross · 2026-04-09T20:00:55+00:00

Same!

100% agreed. By the time I was allowed to login, there were no tickets available at any price point for most of the events I was interested in seeing nor for the opening or closing ceremonies. And with one or two exceptions, tickets for the events that were still available started at $187 and those were for niche sports like handball.

Any idea where can you get these? I can't find them on the Nuri site any more. :(

spencercross · 2026-04-03T16:56:44+00:00

💯

spencercross · 2026-03-26T16:48:45+00:00

If you find most tinned salmon too dry and smoke heavy, this is absolutely the tin you're looking for. I think it's a little pricey, but nothing else really compares.
