"The company says it is not shutting down but is instead 'restructuring our operations." Yeah, they're restructuring into asset liquidation.

Perfect summary of my problem with these mechanics.

Interesting. Research for the curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7464827/

15 lbs down since April. Shooting for another 10-15 before my next cholesterol test in October.

I just finished the main plot and side quests, liberated everything, and only have a half dozen scavenger hunt items left. What a fucking great game. Straight to the all-time pantheon.

It's only theft if they do that with money you've specified should go to principal. If you didn't specify that, you've left a grey area where they have to pick one way or the other. Then you'd have complaints that someone tried to pre-pay before they went on vacation, the bank took that as...

He's just saying that your $1400 might held for x3 y3 at the time the third payment would normally be due unless you specify that it's supposed to go to principal. If it is counted towards principal, that should accelerate you along the amortization schedule as you expect. This is (sadly)...

(Edit: My first post was confused.) This sounds wrong unless the terms of the mortgage somehow preclude early repayment. Simply counting towards your next payment doesn't accelerate you along the amortization schedule and you'd end up paying 30 years of interest over some shorter time period...

Maybe I'm weird, but I did. I could have bought my house in cash but chose to stay diversified and went for a 60% down payment instead. I am relatively cheap and wildly debt-averse in basically every other aspect, though. I kept the difference in the market and have ended up a similar 2%-er.

Also your expectations on inflation. If you get a good rate (not recently) and hold that loan over a medium to high inflation period (likely for the next decade) the real value of those future dollars is vastly reduced.

Your previous comment seems to be direct at me with the tone that colonoscopy is unnecessary, yet I said three posts up that I have an immediate family history. For vasectomy I and others have outlined reasons why alternatives like IUDs are not good solutions for our partners. You can be...

If you're not interested in living to see your kids grow up, you do you bro. No one does this for funsies.

I don't think we're having the discussion you think we've having.

Finger up the ass is for prostate cancer, and they don't do it any more because PSA is more reliable, earlier, and obviously less invasive. (Your colon is five feet long, so you'd need some epic fingers for probing.) For colon cancer you get the joy of colonoscopies, which I have the privilege...

It's important to note that the 15% is relative risk, not absolute (base risk times 1.15, not base + 15%). Still worth thinking about if you're otherwise at higher risk for prostate cancer.

Wood welding.

I'd pick BJJ. Krav has a very high percentage of bullshit that will never work (varies by school/teacher), and those parts that do work are better gained from any kind of practice that has a robust live sport/sparring element. Basically MMA, BJJ, Judo, Sambo, wrestling, boxing/kickboxing. Anyone...

Yeah, it's crazy. I stopped training in 2017 after my sixth knee surgery but my wife kept going. The ability to instantly access details from the highest-tech sources has completely changed the learning process over the past few years, and she got better SUPER fast. When I started in '09 we were...

Same guys.

It was. Two different OBs, same outcome twice. IUDs are a great solution for almost everyone, but like everything it can go wrong and some people exist as living corner cases. Meh. I'm 45. Married 17 years with two kids. Love them but no plans for more in any imaginable life situation. The IUD...

IUDs work great until they don't. My wife has had them dislodge twice and needed (minor) surgery for a perforated uterus.

I've done a lot of jiu jitsu training. The concept is fine subject to the absolute stupidity of restrictions that prevent police from using the traditional positional controls of mount, side mount, and face down pins. The amount of training required to execute those safely is far lower than this...

I don't have experience with whatever OS you're running, but it sounds like the container doesn't have access to the larger file system. There should be a way to mount your target directory inside the container.

What kind of workouts are you looking to do? If standard weight stuff, buy or make a power rack and put a pull-up bar wherever you want. Use remaining space for dumbbells.

Any chance the outlet you're using is accidentally wired with reverse polarity (flipped hot/neutral)? Try the sander on a different outlet on a different circuit. If something is miswired upstream on the cirtuit all the downstream outlets can be affected. Take a multimeter and test the voltage...

We've completely forgotten that the natural state of information is public domain, and copyright is a specific exception carved out to encourage artistic creation. What's bullshit is that the term of copyright was lobbied by Disney up to an insane "life plus 70" when it started at 14 years.

tldr; "At this time, glucosamine hydrochloride cannot be recommended based on the available clinical data." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3392795/ Anecdotally, people say all kinds of things.

Nutshots of antiquity.

Jesus, NFL guys are big. Steveson is 6'1'' 265 and he looked like a dwarf in this lineup. (#61) https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40250779/olympic-gold-medal-wrestler-gable-steveson-signing-bills

God fucking forbid that a game have a natural end. We seemed to do just fine without seasons until ~2015. Just delete your character if you need a reset. (Assuming you can, lol.) What I really object to is having content within a season that becomes inaccessible unless you play "enough" during...

JFC this idea cannot die fast enough. It only exists to create artificial FOMO.

That's some fucking braindead design.

Most people seem to be bitching about the fact that you get one character per account, can't change servers to be with friends, and can't delete the character. Lol? No idea if any of that is true.

"“Water molecules like to stick to glass and also to other water molecules more than they like to disperse in the air,” Jordan Bimm, a postdoctoral researcher and space historian at the University of Chicago, told the AP. “So if there is no external force, water remains in ‘clumps’ in the...
