he is 77
probably picked up some idea about how inheritance and divorce work in his 77 years of building wealth. Unless he isn’t of sound mind, he gets to make his own choices regardless of who gets an undeserved windfall when he dies.

If you are concerned with your liver, then the first step would be to stop drinking alcohol, right?

Also my guess is they have rules officials next year...too much money on the line.
Negative. Too much entertainment value in Dave, with very limited golf knowledge, acting as a rules official and stirring the pot. He’s much more interested in compelling content than worrying about golf purists.

I’m pretty sure the Mo slope shenanigans were scripted. From FP bringing it up on the first tee the first day, to Micah calling it out, to the way it went down in the final video…it smells of a barstool script.

Check out some of the whoop knockoffs. I use an amazfit strap and it’s pretty solid

Pretty much. They are in sales. They don’t draft policies and exclusions and they don’t really manage claims. Good ones might understand policies and exclusions enough to give you some advice. Otherwise, they are the same as real estate agents but for insurance instead of property.

re: Personal Trainer- worth it?

Posted by WDE24 on 11/13/25 at 7:22 am to
A personal trainer might be useful for a short time if you are intimidated by the gym and can’t learn proper lifting form on your own. What you really need is the discipline to eat a lot less and a lot healthier.

1800-2000 calories per day tracked religiously. Focus your meals on protein (better if it’sa lean protein). Eat some rice or potatoes with your protein. Mix in veggies and fruit.

Eliminate fried food, added sugars, bread, and alcohol.

Lift 3-4 days per week. Walk 10,000 steps per day minimum.

230 is a good intermediate goal, but I suggest closer to 190-195 as a long term goal.

I'm thinking if I go into the stomach it can help with the elbows and then some other nagging issues like lower back. I'm OK taking a few weeks.
The half life of bpc 157 is pretty short and the liver and kidneys clear it from the body pretty quickly. Stomach acid breaks it down as well and bio availability of oral bpc157 is low. At least according to what I’ve seen.

I think for it to truly have a chance to work you need to inject near the affected area and dose pretty frequently.

I’m not an expert. Just looked into it to see if I wanted to try it.

worry about longevity.
Strength training and muscle mass are key to longevity. As for potentially modifying the ways in which one trains strength and builds muscle so as to make injury avoidance a primary consideration, I think around 45 or 50, if not earlier. At 45 or 50, a major joint injury is difficult to come back 100% from and the time lost in strength and muscle building is likely not going to be recovered.

I think it's as good a plan as any. He's the best Auburn coach in history, anyone who follows will probably struggle. Hiring the guy groomed for the job who has been doing a ton of the work during Auburn's rise makes sense.
I hope this is true, but I think a better plan would be to go hire a proven name while AU basketball is an attractive job.
Please be another AU story Pete Thamel gets wrong!!!!!

about $5000 to not go into eviction
Probably just delays the process a few months. There is a root issue in almost every scenario like this that $5,000 won’t fix.

Also, you will no longer be friends if you loan him the money. He won’t pay you back and then will avoid you because he knows he isn’t going to pay you back.

Letting him fail/get evicted, is likely better for him in the long run. Give him a temporary place to stay after he gets evicted and help him with his root problem.
Are you his primary guardian? If not, it’s going to be difficult to have enough influence over his diet.

Body weight exercises focusing on form are probably the first step. Need to really make it fun for him at this age. Make a game or competition of it, with some reward tied to it.

Are his parents healthy/fit? If not, trying to influence their behaviors would likely be a greater help to your grandson than anything else.

True, but he was pretty good at helping the younger generation understand and defend conservative beliefs most of whom had grown up in an environment telling them that was shameful and evil.

He was a legitimate threat to the left who thought they had the youth vote sewed up for at least a couple generations.

And algorithms keep getting more sophisticated. Everyone thinks it’s the others that are susceptible to the onslaught of targeted media fed to us, but we are all susceptible and need to be cautious.

Our rituals of going online daily/hourly to get dopamine hits off the other side getting owned or being evil and our side being good or winning isn’t healthy.
