The thing I originally enjoyed about the original Prime mission was building everything from the ground up. Could I do get everything I needed from 1 tank of air and get back. I did Prime then moved to Selena because all I had was the base game. I have since bought the other worlds DLC and am ready to go to Humble.

I'm thinking of going Bear Grylls and putting all my possessions in a box on Selena, building a rocket and going to Humble with just a few bottles of water and green beans or squash or something and build everything again from the ground up. I'll still have all my blueprints, so not as much of a challenge, but it will be something. Is there anything I truly need to bring?

This is a podcast by 2 MD's who also lift. They follow scientific studies and report results.

Summary:

  • Standard diet reduction consists of about 25% muscle loss
  • Adding resistance training reduces that loss by about 1/2, so about 12.5%
  • GLP-1's fall in line with that.
  • DEXA scans aren't great indicators of muscle loss because muscle falls into the everything else category which includes glycogen, intramuscular fat, intra liver fat, and inflammation, all of which are reduced by GLP-1.

Mine is peanut butter. I could eat infinite amounts of peanut butter. I used to be able to keep it out of the house because my son was allergic, but not he has moved out and my wife buys it for her breakfasts now. I come back from long bike rides feeling ravenous and it became an easy snack where I can just eat too much and it triggers cravings to eat other things. I've been on Zep for 5 days and have stayed away from it except a tablespoon before bed one night when I was really hungry. Have you noticed any changes to foods that trigger you to over eat? Can you eat them now without going off the deep end?

I had been on anti TNF for about 22 years and had broken out in psoriasis after switching to Simponi because of insurance/costs. We tried Cosentyx but found that insurance would cover Taltz and I could also get assistance for Zepbound, so we made the switch. I had loaded Cosentyx and could feel it working for the arthritis part.

The approval/delivery of Taltz took longer than expected and I was starting to feel sore. Loading requires 2 shots on dose 0 and I did those yesterday. I felt tired and went to bed early, but I also hadn't slept well the night before. Didn't sleep great and woke up not feeling much better. I noticed an active psoriasis outbreak this morning, but it's a hard

After I broke out in psoriasis, we decided to go off anti-TNF drugs and try something else. My rheum leaned toward Cosentyx, but it was rejected by insurance. I got on a bridge program where it would be covered for 2 years until insurance approved it, but it wasn't completely knocking out the psoriasis and I found out about the Taltz/Zepbound program, so I was able to convince them to try Taltz, although they acted like Taltz would be hard to approve. It was literally approved within hours of submitting it but somehow it was still in review even though the approval letter was attached to the claim. It took the specialty pharmacy until today to finally fill the request, so I won't get it unt

I noticed my cats dewclaw looks like this. I've never really ever trimmed his claws because he usually zooms around on the carpet and regularly uses the scratchers, but that doesn't seem to hit the dewclaws. This is the first time in over 10 years this has happened to him. Any advice to trim this? He's pretty skittish. I don't see any pink, so should I be worried about hitting any live nail? Thanks

I have a Genie garage door opener with a keypad. It gets used a lot. About every couple of months, my wife will complain that it doesn't work. When I look at it the keypad doesn't light or is very dim. The first time I changed the batteries and it worked. The 2nd time, I brought out the battery tester and they were still good, I put them back in and it worked. Now I just pop open the compartment, spin the AAA batteries in place and it works.

I'm trying to figure out a way to improve this. It is obviously outside, but not particular exposed to weather, but I suspect something makes a weak connection at the terminals. Is there some sort of gel I could put on the batteries to possibl
