    Fair points but I still have an issue with your wording here. Very sub-optimal. That's just not true. Personally I have gotten great results. Clinically I have gotten great results. No sub-optimal about it. Serum levels are what they are and I know from experience what my patient's serum levels...

    Why do you say that pellets are unreliable/ineffective? Based on what? I have blood work on probably 100 patients where I can see Free Testosterone at an increased level of 2-4x baseline. Furthermore, when we assess their cholesterol, blood sugar, BMI, waist circumference, weight, etc we see a...

    I don’t think it’s all that disproportionate considering our demo. I’d guess that most people here are a) men, and b) either 35+ or getting real close. My patient population is varied but most of the guys I see are in that 40-50 demo and a lot of them are "masculine" guys aka cops and...

    Industrial? (Ministry, CombiChrist?)

    My first exposure to Nitzer Ebb was when they opened for Depeche Mode during the World Violator tour. Depeche Mode was always more of an electronic band and may not have the industrial harshness, but Music for the Masses was a classic album and you might check it out.

    Industrial? (Ministry, CombiChrist?)

    Can't talk about industrial without mentioning Einsturzende Neubauten. And I know Bauhaus were the godfather's of goth but they were also a huge inspiration for most of the early industrial bands.

    Excess testosterone can be converted to estrogen if you have too much aromatase activity. Testosterone and estrogen are almost identical except test has an extra methyl group that can be cleaved by aromatase (enzymes) that convert it to estrogen. Dosing can be adjusted or you can try DIM...

    Took my son (5) to see this movie. He liked it for the Spider People and action and LOL’d at a few parts but he’s probably a bit young to take in the meatier concepts behind the movie. But he seemed to enjoy it well enough. I really liked it more than I thought I would and I agree with...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    So I bought Origins on the cheap a while back and played about 5 hours into it but really wanted to play Odyssey while it was current and dropped Origins. It felt like Origins was similar to Odyssey and I had planned on playing it eventually. I loved Odyssey and even expected a downgraded...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Try Chantix. I took it about 10 years ago after smoking for about 20. The vivid dream thing is real. And I guess some people commit suicide so watch out for that. I never had an issue while taking it.

    Two questions: Thinking about picking this up for PC to play casually. 1) Where can I find it on the cheap right now or should I just wait? I saw it on GMG for $38. 2) Anyone have any experience streaming it to NVIDIA shield? Playable?

    Early UO/EQ days were a golden age where I had ample free time, not a ton of responsibility and an established relationship. I could never find that kind of time again between work, kids, wife, friends, activities. Nor do I think I would prioritize EQ the same way. At the time I was broke. EQ...

    Glycemic Index and Diabetes Food with high glycemic index will raise blood sugars more quickly. I remember learning that pretzels have especially high GI. Don’t know why that always stuck with me. But yes, stay away from foods with high GI (chart in link).

    The link between testosterone and prostate cancer isn’t fully understood and there are studies on either side of the argument. I believe there is evidence that if you already have prostate cancer that testosterone can increase the rate of growth but does not contribute to whether you will get...

    I don't pay for the pellets because the surgeon I work with does them for me for free but we generally charge $750/6 months. My T was at 1600 the first time I did the pellets. That was a bit high obviously. So we backed off the dose for subsequent pelleting and I've been running at about...
