Dud i.e. did not work because the prevalent strain wasn’t either of the ones they put in it.

The flushot was dude this year. I got mine early and about a month later was down with the flu for about a week. The only thing I found for it was, when you feel well enough to (i.e. good days) exercise your ass off. You’ll be good for fuck all the next day or two, but on the right side of it after that.

Fart into my cupped hand while making (and not breaking eye contact) and proceed to “throw” it in the interviewers general direction. (Extra points if you can do this with a straight face)

There’s two things that could get it acting right that I can think of: Replace the cylinder (expensive, may not work but might) Shim it i.e. find a washer with internal diameter of cylinder pin or smaller and rut it out to the right diameter, then file it down to the width that takes the play out ( couple issues with this, one it’ll increase the flash gap i.e. bigger halos, reduced velocity and increased leading, two potential annealing of the makeshift shim with the fram of the gun) Let us know how it goes

Seconding this one. Looking at the furthest from camera case, my money it that there is play in the cylinder along the axis of the cylinder pin. That case being swollen, just above the rim means one thing, that the case has enough room to move back out of the cylinder while firing to allow that to happen. Overpressure i.e. hot loads may be contributing to an issue you wouldn’t observe with lighter loads. Have you played around using different ammo?

Silly question, but why patch a tube? Tires i get, if you shell out $60+ for a tire, replace the tube and patch the tire to keep the crud out. But tubes are comparably cheap and since they are the only thing that needs to hold a seal why not spend a few more dollars than you spent in the patch kit for a new tube?

No worries, I have to review a few meta -analysis a month. They are not all created equal. But some are trying to help.

There’s a couple thing to keep in mind that might help it make sense. Meta-analyses, though not without merit, don’t always accomplish the intended goals for a few reasons, two of which this study specifically suffers from. The first is that they combine studies that when they were conducted may have looked at the desired treatments and controls, but they often are doing so in different populations (note they stratify results by elderly, cancer patients etc.) I’m not going to on my phone start pulling the references, but I would venture to guess that the included studies have all sorts of specific groups they were targeting which leads to heterogeniety both in effect size but in interpretation of effect size. Think about it this way, if you are using Dat from many studies with different (often very specific) target populations, does it really make sense to combine them to draw conclusions about a some hypothetical population comprised of those people?

The second thing is sample size. A few thousand seems like a lot until you realize the data in question is incidence. Each subject included either had the disease or they didn’t (it’s 0 or 1) nothing in-between and nothing outside. Interval inference for dichotomous data (especially when it gets substratified down like the authors have done here) often lead to results like the plain language summary presented. That is, everything is null because they tried to say too much, with too little data.

Takeaway is don’t read too much into the findings. The authors were certainly trying to earnestly answer the question (probably), but the existing literature and available data came up short.

No it’s a real link. It looks like you may have, somehow, gotten blocked from Craigslist. Its a comical recollection of a dude not having the best time at a hot yoga session. If you search for something along the lines of “Craigslist yoga mat story” im sure you’ll find some version of it.

It needs to be shared 🤣

They’re not lieing… this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.

My tipping point with my family was George Floyd/ Breanna Taylor. The details aren’t important and are very similar to many of the stories here. Its not easy, it wasn’t then and it still has a sting to it. Good for you for deciding that enough was enough. And a pat on the back to this whole thread because I don’t think theres a single troll in it. Just folks genuinely sharing their stories of grief over a situation we’d rather not deal with. The internet like a broke clock is capable of getting it right twice a day.

Another thing to think about, inline with the last few comments, is that if you have 45 days worth of muscle memory you might just be doing too much too soon. 20 miles where I live in the southern US, this time of year can be taxing with the heat even if you are a career commuter. That said until your body gets used to restoring itself in between rides you’re going to drag. And when you get worn down your body wants to just diesel in a lower gear.

Its just my two cents, but I’d recommend shorter distances, pushing a little harder over those shorter distances but in intervals. In time I bet you’ll find that you are getting there quicker with seemingly less effort.

TTTTHHHHHHIIIIIICCCCC!
