I do not speak Hebrew so hopefully I don't butcher this question... I've noticed that in English versions of the Bible both Hebrew terms יְהֹוָ֥ה (YHWH/Jehovah) and אֱלֹהִ֑ים (god) tend to be translated as "God". Is there a reason for this? It seems like there's some information lost by omitting this distinction. The distinction being something like calling God by his name (YHWH) versus referring to him by title (God/Lord).

I picked up an Active 2.0 pressure washer and tested it out along with the foam cannon it came with today. I used Maguire's Gold Class cause that's what I had on hand. I diluted it like 1:4. When I started foaming the car the foam cannon bottle emptied almost immediately. Ended up using way more soap than I would hand washing the car.

Am I doing something wrong or does this foam cannon just suck? I thought maybe diluting the soap made it too thin and that's why it emptied so fast but filling the bottle with straight soap seems like I'd be wasting even more soap.

Strongly suspect this is the issue I'm experiencing. Should I see a gastroenterologist or neurologist?

I have a gastro appointment in January but don't want to find out in a couple months I'm seeing the wrong doctor only to wait another few months to see a neuro.

Looked at a 2022 2SS Camaro today. Only thing I really didn't care for were the optional Recaro seats. I'm 6'5" and they hit my shoulders weird.

How involved would it be to track down some standard 2SS leather seats and swap them in? Is it plug and play with same harness and everything?

Also, it felt like the Recaros sat up higher than the standard seats (couldn't get my seat as low)??

Looking at possibly picking up a used M240i. However, it seems like everyone is asking MSRP or slightly under. KBB values are maybe $3k under MSRP. Should I just wait a couple year until these are like $35k or are these holding their value exceptionally well for some reason?

I've been looking at getting a 6th gen SS.

I've tested both the A10 and M6. I would prefer manual but wasn't a huge fan of the clutch. The pedal was a bit high and kicky at the top. There's a good bit of unnecessary travel. Is it possible to lower the pedal? I looked but didn't see any adjustment.

Also anyone change the helper spring on the clutch to make it less Cammy/kicky?

I (6'5") have been driving a GR86 for the last few months. It's a fun car but it's uncomfortable, especially on longer drives. Main issue is legroom (knee angle).

I've started looking at other sports car (RWD, $45k, lower miles) options. I've sat in a Nissan Z (similar legroom to the GR86) and knees are very close to the steering wheel. Also despite being commonly recommended for tall drivers, the C7 was a definitely no go (knees against steering wheel). Generally speaking my issue is leg and knee room (36" inseam). Headroom isn't usually the limiting factor.

I got to drive a LT1 Camaro for a couple days recently and it is by far the most comfortable sports car I've been in. The 43.9" legr

I know GM lists the steering ratio as variable but does anyone know what the actual ratio range is?

So I started dupixent last week. I've had pretty bad dry eye issues the last few years (Sjogren's). After my first dose my eyes were noticeably drier the next day. I'm on day 5 and they've improved a bit.

My question is, is there a consensus on how this side effect evolves over time. Should I expect worst symptoms at the beginning then improving over time or should I expect worsening symptoms over time?

Anyone here on Dupixent?

I just took my first dose (for EoE) last week. One of the main side effects is dry eye. It can dry out mucus membranes. My eyes were noticably drier the next day after taking my first injection.

Does anyone know if dry eye tends to get worse or better over time with dupixent?

My mouth has been getting drier since my diagnosis at the end of 2021. Switching from pilocarpine to cevilimine was a god send 5 months ago. However my mouth has been very dry this month. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Is it normal for a Sjogren's patient's mouth to just get drier and drier over time? I think I'm close to maxing out how much saliva stimulants I can take. I'm also on hydroxychloroquine and 5mg of methotrexate. Any other drugs that can help?

I'm not looking for xylimelts, biotene, sip water, etc type suggestions btw.

Recently went back to a manual car after driving auto for a few years. I'm looking for driving shoes. I know some people will wear whatever but having size 14 feet means certain shoes make driving manual very cumbersome. My go to in the past was Sambas but they're hot and I need something breathable. I want something I can heel toe in but also comfortably walk around in. I've come across minimalist shoes like Xero Shoes and wondering if anyone has any experience using these for driving.
