What the frick are genetic letters? I know what bases and basepairs are, but genetic letters is a new one.

I just paid $17 for a roll at 7-11. Didn't know about Murphy USA. I'll check that out next.

I try to focus on slowing down my swing. As I get mad and/or frustrated, my swing gets so damn quick, arms way in front, hips stiff.

Not quite, but what I am is a scientist with a PhD, which you clearly are not. Studies include a bunch more information than the figures within them, most importantly in this instance information about the methods and subjects.
No one believes the information in your post because you did not include a link to the study. Go frick yourself.

Well, you did say no electronics to worry about but my booster pump that runs my Polaris has gone out for the third time now.

So saying no electronics involved is not accurate and I have to frick with that thing all the time.


Touche, but booster pumps are 1/3 the cost of one of these dolphin cleaners and should last 10+ years. Mine has worked perfectly for 2.5 years. Sounds like you need a new one.

I don't know why the Polaris quattro got down voted. They go on sale multiple times a year, and I've had minimal maintenance in the past 2.5 years: replaced the tires ($40, 2 minutes) and an inlet spout ($20, 1 minute).

It takes maybe 3 minutes to take it out and roll the cord up. Another 2 to spray out the basket.

You only need to use it 2/3 times a week.

And you don’t have a clunky vacuum in your pool all the time


This makes no sense. I have a pressure side polaris. It takes 30 seconds to put in the pool and about a minute to take it out, and then I rinse it out. I do this 3 times a week. Easy peasy.

There is almost no difference, experientially. Some people leave them in all the time, others don't.
Lower the model level according to the task. I'm using haiku 4.5 for all my smart home/home assistant stuff and it's pennies each time. Also, I use the free version of claude for basic shite and reserve the claude platform for only code-based chats.

Fasting lets insulin levels drop so your body can access stored energy


This one for starters. Aside from it being an obvious thing to state (not eating makes you burn fat), it doesn't matter over the long haul.

If you eat the same amount of calories/macros per day, your body would burn the same amount of energy regardless of meal timing: either you ate the right amount of food to burn fat or you did not.

quote:

Eating constantly keeps insulin high, which stops your body from burning fat.


Same exact response here. Eating "constantly" but staying within a set diet will result in the same amount of "fat burning" as fasting part of the day and then eating the same diet.

If fasting helps someone stay within their caloric goal for the day, more power to them, but its not a magical fat burning tool.

They have been everywhere this year. I know of several people, including myself, around houston that have seen them for the first time ever this season.
I just use a hard foam roller. I think using a tungsten rod is a terrible idea.

OP, do have an HDMI cable with HDMI on both ends? Or do you happen to have a cable with display port connector.



This, the HDMI cable he is using is damaged on one end, or the port on the receiver is damaged are the only possible causes.

I'd go with premade kits in your situation. I've done a bunch of LED strips and DIY is cheaper for a higher quality, but you do need to understand power needs, voltage drop, power injection, and soldering basics.

For my installs, I screw the channel into the wall and then adhesive the strips to the channel. When install on backs of TVs, I use flexible aluminum channel and 3M double-sided tape.

Diffusers are necessary if you can see the LEDs directly or the LEDs are very close to the wall and the individual LED reflections are noticeable.
