He was pretty good, except for the jumper cable retardation. I think maybe I have the energy and patience to type this out now. The jumper cables were 87 years old, rusty (in Arizona, impressive), and mangled. They didn't work. He fucked around with things and then they sort of worked. Got the car jumped. I tell him it will take 5-7 minutes for a full restart so be patient. Every 45 seconds, I hear sparks. He's fucking with them. Dude, gonna need 5-7 minutes of solid power. We get to a full startup, things are looking great. I start the next step and BOOM! Dark. Everything is off. WTF. Get out to go look, he disconnected them again. Anyway, fuck 12v lead-acid batteries. And dumb Paki dispatchers who think the intersection of highway 95 and 68 is the same as 93 and 68, causing many more new problems with the battery. Had I known ahead of time that all this would happen, I'd have driven over to the surprise free charger nearby, but I also thought that getting off the main highway could be worse if that didn't solve the problem. (It likely wouldn't have, shorted cell.) Were it not for this fuckery however, I would not have discovered the best cigar lounge on earth. I was the only white person there. Totally unusual demographic. Good music, great hospitality, and an $11 soul food dinner.

My one and only experience with Interstate will remain my only one, hopefully.

I already get that from the Apple Watch!

Another WTF moment brought to you by...

I have this on order: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/circular-ring/circular-ring-2-worlds-most-advanced-health-tracking-ring?ref=user_menu Also, going to be in the beta test group for the first home device that will do a variety of hormone and other "blood tests" but with spit instead, at extremely low cost, with results in minutes not days. I need to keep tabs on a couple things that have been high for me for decades.

I can't make out where your math went wonky. I can buy semaglutide for $1/mo and they sell it for $170/mo. Now, they do have to pay someone to mix it with bacteriostatic water and put a label on it, so there's a cost there too.

Pretty sure they tack on their doctor/prescriber fee on top of that. The cost of semaglutide even in small-ish quantities (300mg) is $200 for a 200 month supply of the average dose. Yes, I said 200 months. These fuckers are PRINTING money. And it's $320 shipped for 66 months of tirzepatide (vastly better than semaglutide and nobody should use semaglutide at all).

Oh yeah, @superhawk996 has accounts that he shares with friends, and batteries are a top discount item. I think 30%?

More than I would have paid at Sam's Club or Amazon. That company has astronomical prices. I have no idea why anyone buys from them. Probably a lot of FaceBook and TikTok ads? Where the morons hang out. Speaking of Amazon, many of these companies should die soon, as Amazon is offering all they do at a fraction of the cost. The in-house RX for $15 (one-five yes) and then the drugs for $5-20/mo.

That's another thing, batteries are often undersized. I think we can all agree that life is better with a bigger Johnson. Also I used to do tech work for JC.

Modern cars lock the rear wheels automatically in park. The tow truck likewise only locks its rears. So he would lift the tow truck's rear wheels with the bed, push the bed out to push the tow truck forward, and unload my truck a few feet at a time. It didn't take long. Pulling it up was pretty easy. They have these hard plastic pads to put under the rear wheels which drag super easily in the forward direction. (The tow bed has one-way serrations, they don't slide back easily.)

EVs have the same 12v Achille's heel, and my experience is that they have 3 years max in them. Despite not having a starter load. But maybe because they are more deeply cycled? Ask me how I know.

There are many sites that have been providing Wegovy and Ozempic with a self-issued prescription. It's the same thing that those sites do with sildenafil, ramelteon, etc etc. They just have Indian/Paki doctors on "staff" churning out prescriptions. Same with Amazon too, and super cheap on what they sell.

LOL, he means he bought drinks and dinner, didn't get laid. Gotta read between the legs lines.

I have a gray market med contact in Ethiopia, but again mostly around peptides. I'll ask if she has ideas.

Where is she located? I have had issues shipping things to certain EU countries.

Are you trying to save money, or specifically want it without RX? Because that seems like an odd recreational drug, LOL. In the US it's available easily as a veterinary med too. None of my Chinese sources have this; they really just do peptides and simple coenzymes and such.

She's wearing a CGM for now and it seems to have been a short-time thing. I refuse to let it go as just coincidence that out of the other 729 days this happened during an every other year blood test.

Yup, he's going to join on an order this week or so. I wanted to mention it but also never want to out anyone's medical discussion unless they do it first.

Hilarious moment. Woman grabs my hands after we're introduced and says, "Oh my god, I recognize those!" I guess there are running jokes about this that I wasn't aware of. Most of the related videos look like this... When they find the body, just know that I did NOT stab myself on the back of the head 57 times with a Mounjaro injector.

They sat me up front right by the speaker's podium. I was not at all ready for the number of people who got up during intros and said I had saved their lives (and another key person there). Another presenter who has been instrumental in one key peptide therapy has been independently doing and confirming the same thing I did for perimenopause, without either of us knowing until my presentation. Which was supposed to be 20 minutes long, and ran 70 minutes with all the questions and added info from her. Today they are going to put us up together to talk on another subject that apparently only the two of us have carefully tested. One doctor said he sends my videos out to people instead of teaching them himself. Again, totally unexpected and rewarding.

Hilariously, someone asked me to help them with tirzepatide yesterday, citing dick-finding as a motivator.

Different...level...

I am guessing at this point our doctor will order up a fuckload of tests. The perimenopause is very likely to have fucked up estrogen anyway. A1C is 4.6 so this has not been a long term problem.

That's a complex answer. She's been having some fatigue issues for some time, and a few things that could be related but not enough to cause us to look at this specifically. Don't know if that makes sense. Symptoms that track, but weren't totally indicative of this. Edit to add: With perimenopause hitting, there was another explanation so it was taken as that.
