Cruises do seem to be incubators for new fun diseases. At least you didn't get hantavirus or whatever the fuck it was on that cruise a few weeks so. As far as I know, I've never had flu, but had RSV once. I do NOT recommend it.

Also this is specifically about Semaglutide, but probably applies equally to Tirzepatide and Retatrutide. Almost surely doesn't correlate with Cagrilintide or Eloralintide however.

Keep it? Get rid of it (if we can, don't know)?

LOL, yes, and he doesn't.

Or as we age, try getting OEM parts...

I've been set on not modding the "new" XX I got, not sure how much is obsessive-like or not. I'm not sure what I'd do if I had to replace something like a fuel pump with an aftermarket part. I think for me, it's purely about looking OEM externally. I guess I've said exactly that. Also, still waiting for an OEM owner's manual WITH COVER so that I can truly complete it.

As part of that trial, her colleague Allison Shapiro scanned the participants' brains before and after. Within a few months, the connections in the region that helps direct attention had multiplied. "We didn't expect to see this effect, and we really don't know what it means," Shapiro said. ... That uncertainty has raised a larger question: Are the drugs acting directly on the brain, or are they reshaping the nervous system more indirectly by reducing inflammation, improving metabolism and easing stress on the body?

Another critical marker I forgot to note here. Long ago: A few years ago: Now: I've shared this in various places. I've actually been accused of faking this because it's "impossible" and then a few real idiots claim that plant based eating would make this worse.

Fuck, I lost mine and really needed it this past weekend.

Source? Brand? Or...how to find one? Clear lid never crossed my mind with heat and vacuum. Shit, that's why I ask here, didn't cross my mind. Obviously it can take any heat/vac I can dish out. Duh. Off to the thrift store.

My question exactly!

WTF.

That's a great color for the surroundings.

Maybe?
