Bottom top dead top. It's the piston position on a Delorean with a flux capacitor at 88 MPH.

Not impractical, this is what I've done.
-
Yeah then a slightly flexible wheel should help a lot.
-
I thought it was more random than that. So it doesn't always happen if you switch it off then on, but only happens when switched on?
-
I know what it looks like/is, but I don't know what the surface is like. Hard plastic? Rubbery? If it's hard with a texture then yeah, roller blade wheels will move much better on it.
-
I guess it depends on the surface it's on. But also I don't really know what they would do. I still like this chair a lot but I put spacers behind the rear mounting bolts so it leans me forward. Much better for shop height work. Probably around 20-25mm as I recall.

Every item in the chain here can have an intermittent failure. Also you didn't say what vehicle, and "the pickup truck" is a very vague recollection. I know I've seen it, don't remember details. Are the controls seemingly all analog? When it fails I assume you've run through all potential settings from off-low-high to all the other switches? Your troubleshooting is probably going to have to include testing power at all the various places while the problem is happening. You could hang wires out of those spots for easy access with a meter when it fails.

Are eggs terrible for you or critical to overall nutrition?

Yeah, it's almost like today we have to make new decisions base on new data based on new input. Fucking crazy right? -

No, that you can't see past your foregone prejudices to rationally consider a cost/benefit or risk/reward ratio when it comes to everything. My risk/reward on riding is an extremely good ratio and obviously you know that not only do I ride, I put a lot of effort in meeting up with you assholes to do more of it. As it is for whisky. My risk/reward for eggs is low, and for many other things I simply stopped having in my life. The cost of certain foods is joint pain and other issues, with only a small reward, so they are gone. There's no mic drop. There's just a scale that takes some thought and being open to new data. -

Sad. -
I'm not, but I'm using it preventively and for all the other benefits. Cost is around $30/mo. No known downsides.

Forgot to add, it's just pure moringa. I'm not qualified to have much of an opinion on it. My previous awareness of it was just for gastro issues like colitis and ulcers, plus it is a huge source of potassium which most Americans are deficient on. It is absolutely critical to know how it can affect you if you have either high or LOW blood sugar, high blood pressure, and some allergies. It is definitely not a benign thing to take without full research and care.

One of my friends has seen a 100% reversal of his knee pain from using a peptide blend that's commonly referred to as "GLOW." His testimonials would make an infomercial sound blasè. But it does have to be injected daily for 6-9 weeks. That was a while ago and he's still fine. Gone from painful assisted walks up the stairs to his wife asking why he sprints up the stairs. "Because I can!"

Yeah, same. I think I'm just giving up the occasional egg treat altogether. -

And a bunch of others along with vastly increased mutation rates. -
It's been a long time since I've seen comedians like you assholes.

It's interesting that it took you a really long time to formulate that reply. I think.

Compounded Tirzepatide now illegal (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in Diet & health exchange
Back to the original topic, Lilly's attempts to stop this are failing in hilarious ways. Yesterday afternoon I went to a local med-spa place to show them some pens they can fill themselves for their patients, and give a little overview of Cagrilintide and Cagri-Sema. (And I've been on Cagrilintide for a few weeks, allowing me to cut back Tirzepatide and therefore its major side effects.) Anyway one of the easy ways they have around these restrictions also happens to mesh with a patient benefit. Tirzepatide is marketed as a weekly injection, but that's not optimal. The drug has a half-life of 117.5 hours, so five days. This means that you only get four days of peak effectiveness and the rest are suboptimal. So they prescribe it on a five day schedule. The patient gets better results, and it totally bypasses the restriction. That's based on an FDA loophole allowing a prescriber to go off-brand to get something custom made if it's best for the patient. Problem solved. I left them a bunch of 3D printed pen cases as giveaways for "most weight lost" and "best blood sugar stability," etc. And stands for filling the pen vials. -

Hilarious that they think they can rebottle that genie. Love to see them flailing. -

All doses are available now at that price. Not sure why anyone would pay for the 2.5 dose, and I think Lilly knows it. They're caving to the gray market, it had to happen. Anarchy and free markets fixes problems. My doctor recommended I try 8mg for a while, but with other blood sugar controls. So far, it's good, but just three weeks in. -

Gray market, by definition. -

Oh, and ask away, or let's have a call. I don't know how much you've seen about how deep I'm into the peptide stuff. -

Zepbound is officially available directly from Eli Lilly for $500/mo now (or maybe next month). You can split doses of the pens to bring that down by using less than the max dose. I can supply it for around $20-40/mo. A couple people on the forum are getting it from my/my suppliers but it's up to them if they want to speak up, they may not.
