Want me to give your rental property a stealth drive-by?

Recently FedEx has stopped being complete fucktards for me. The tracking...tracks...and stuff arrives. They still do leave it farther from the door than anyone else, but not fully outside/exposed.

You're right, I glanced at the old 809 and put that in my mind. $120 is still great.

WalMart has it for $99.99 but from a Chinese seller with a 2.5 rating.
If you mean the DCF870B it's no longer there, and surely a scam. It's a hot new item, no discounts, or well, cheapest is $202.

And a fantastic trigger it is, on power level 1 you can spin it as slow as a careful hand and it won't put much ass into it. Safe for starting screws. On 3 it will blow a 3/8" bolt through a piece of solid steel.

You made me shop, fucker. Can't justify the cost to upgrade for the few times I wish for the hydraulic impact. And the Atomic is $85 today on Amazon, didn't check it on other sites.

I have the Atomic, and have considered the hydraulic one for very specific needs that likely don't apply to you. The Atomic is usually under $90 at any given time, the other one is never discounted that I can find. The Atomic is crazy powerful, even in some pretty hard mechanical duty.
The question you want answered is not what I would buy, but what you should buy. I can't imagine any scenario where you will need the XR, and having used the Atomic for three years, I can count on a hand how many times the XR would be *slightly* better for me in specialized tasks.

Do you think you could bench press the same amount of weight now as when you were much heavier?
Probably more, don't know. The last time I lost quite a bit of weight all of my exercise measures went way up.

Looks great.
But you didn't iron it.
Ceramic coating?

I know just losing weight alone makes you weaker.
You need new sources for medical info.
Losing weight doesn’t inherently make you weaker, but it can if the process involves significant muscle loss or inadequate nutrition. Strength depends on muscle mass, training, and energy availability. Here’s a breakdown:
Calorie Deficit and Muscle Loss: Weight loss often requires a calorie deficit, which can lead to muscle breakdown if protein intake is too low or exercise isn’t prioritized. Studies show that without resistance training, up to 25% of weight lost can be muscle, reducing strength.
Exercise Matters: Incorporating strength training during weight loss preserves muscle and maintains or even improves strength. Research indicates that resistance training can offset muscle loss in a deficit, keeping you strong.
Nutrition Impact: Insufficient protein or overall calories can impair performance, making you feel weaker. Aim for 0.7–1g of protein per pound of body weight daily to support muscle retention.
Rapid Weight Loss: Crash diets or extreme cuts (e.g., for sports) can deplete glycogen, reduce energy, and temporarily lower strength. Gradual loss (0.5–1% body weight per week) minimizes this.
Body Composition: Losing fat while maintaining muscle can make you relatively stronger, as you’re moving less body weight. For example, a leaner athlete may perform better in bodyweight exercises like pull-ups.
Context matters—athletes cutting weight for competition might feel weaker temporarily, while someone losing fat methodically with proper training often doesn’t. If you’re losing weight and feeling weak, check your protein, training, and calorie balance. Want me to dig into any specific aspect, like a sport or diet plan?

I was interviewed for this, and am shocked at how well balanced it is. Normally MSM just sides with big pharma. None of the names are real in the article which I was also happy about, as I explained the problems that naming people has caused in the past. I don't necessarily hide anything, but also not looking forward to being named in another federal complaint.
Spencer, 50, is not part of any drug trial but mixes the cocktails herself, using tiny doses that she believes are safe. The total cost is about $50 monthly, as little as one-tenth of what she would expect to pay their makers for full treatment.
The drugs – glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) weight-loss medicines – are manufactured and shipped from China, according to the packaging. She orders them through online vendors.
Spencer belongs to a fast-growing group of Americans turning to what many call the "gray market" for obesity medicines, bringing cheap active ingredients from China often labeled as for research purposes, according to import data and social media postings. It's a trend that drugmakers Lilly and Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy, say is dangerous as well as illicit.

Muscle Loss Is a Big Deal: These meds can help you shed pounds—about 19 pounds with Ozempic, 27 with Wegovy, or 45 with Mounjaro in a year. But here’s the kicker: 40% of that weight loss is muscle, including heart muscle.
This is bullshit, so I stopped reading there and recommend you do the same. Just a scan over the rest and it's bullshit too. This is some clickbait hit piece probably funded by companies that profit from people eating garbage and being fat. They are panicking.

Out of the many hundreds of people I've talked to about this, you are the only one. Although even with sides people agree it really is a magic wand.

Yeah, the photos don't make it as obvious as in person. Next step is to print a colored version. Hahahahaha, get it? Colored? Black man... I kill me.

I hope not, and he said he wasn't, because it absolutely CAN hurt to try. A lot.
There are a shitload of other things that could help that won't hurt to try. This is not one. I get in this conversation regularly because there's a stigma or mental image that injectables are always riskier than a pill. People will fear something like tirzepatide while thinking that Tesofensine pills are benign. Like MB, the latter has a lot of interactions that can have very dire consequences, while the tirzepatide has nearly zero high-impact side effects or interactions. It's intriguing how much people think pills are low risk.

Behind the Science: Our geroscientist explains how Methylene Blue may support brain health
When we think about brain health and longevity, we often start with the fundamentals: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and cognitive enhancers. Critical, yes…but incomplete.
Research suggests that Methylene Blue (MB) is unique among cognitive-enhancing compounds. It targets mitochondrial dysfunction, a hidden driver of brain aging that quietly erodes memory, focus, and cognitive function over decades. This mechanism challenges what we thought we knew about neurodegenerative diseases and how we might fight back.
Mitochondria are your brain’s power plants, generating the cellular energy (called ATP) neurons need to think, remember, and adapt. They work through a series of interlocking protein gears known as the electron transport chain. As we age, some of these gears wear down. When one gear stalls, the entire system backs up, and energy production slows.
Methylene Blue acts like a mechanic for the system. At low doses, it steps in to help turn the final gear (even if earlier ones are jammed), bypassing damaged gears to keep cellular energy flowing.
By supporting mitochondrial health and energy production in the brain, Methylene Blue targets a root cause of brain aging and serves a dual role:
A single dose can enhance cognitive function and performance, including memory, focus, and attention (Nootropic)
Continuous use shields the brain from cellular damage accumulation and cognitive decline as you age (Neuroprotective)
In other words, research suggests that Methylene Blue doesn’t just stimulate the brain—it restores it.
Another remarkable property: Methylene Blue is activity-guided. Like a magnet, it’s drawn into the most metabolically active, energy-demanding areas of the brain, honing in on and restoring mitochondrial function in stressed, aging neurons.
This means you may not just feel sharper—you could actually become sharper where it matters most. Whether you’re solving problems, learning a new skill, or managing stress, Methylene Blue may help those neural circuits operate more efficiently.
Brain health is a topic that's deeply personal to me. I watched my grandfather, once the wisest storyteller I knew, slowly lose his identity and independence to Alzheimer's. That experience sparked my nearly 20-year obsession with neurobiology and brain aging. Neurodegeneration unfolds over decades, often beginning as early as our 30s, offering a huge window of opportunity to intervene
I've personally been taking Methylene Blue regularly for the past few months and have noticed improvements in my mental clarity, focus, and energy—both at work and at home with my kids. I'm also tracking its impact on hallmarks of brain aging, including markers of neuroinflammation, plaque, and sensitive game-based cognitive assessments like Creyos.

I know someone selling a barely-used normal-size residential dish if you'd like to actually solve this problem completely, instantly, and reliably. She'd probably go with $300 or so with a very nice mount.

Why would you request reduced sedation?
Nothing pleasant about it at all, or the after-effects. Though I guess, since my afternoon was fucked anyway feeling like ass and half-sleeping, the full dose may not have been worse? At least not as bad as the Novocaine after-effects.
Given a choice I'd have done it with no general at all, but they were not really up for that.

Yesterday before my cataract surgery one of the nurses said she had a concern with my BP and was getting the anesthesiologist. I thought, what the fuck! I had this under control, must be white coat syndrome.
He shows up and re-test. 117/78 now, the previous one was 116/72 (they fucking raised my BP by talking about it). They said that with white coat syndrome nearly everyone is high, so they were concerned I'm that low-ish for my age. Two things. I've been extra careful to be on the plants and off the junk, and off the sodium. Second, I've had zero apprehension about the surgery and if anything was excited for it, but for any situation that people consider potentially stressful I go into it with a specifically calm mindset and sorta meditation mindset. I requested reduced sedation and was able to remember the whole process, but didn't have any anxiety about it.
Anyway, you can fix your BP and many bodily pains by choosing what you eat.

Reuters basically published a how-to. They emphasize the need and benefits of self-determination and knowledge. They cover the testing I've talked about and how to be safe.
And this is why people can't just depend on their doctor/pharmacist for advice. There's so much lack of knowledge still.
https://glp1realtalk.substack.com/p/patients-threw-away-10-million-on
Here's a number that'll make your head spin: patients overpaid $10.2 million for GLP-1 medications in the first three months of 2025 alone.
I wish I was making this up.
A new study from DoseSpot, an e-prescribing platform, analyzed over 100,000 prescriptions for drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. What they found was pretty depressing—92% of those prescriptions could have been filled for less money. Way less money.
So how did we end up here? And more importantly, why does this keep happening?
