This.

All pool guys are out to scam you, especially the big name ones. Don't let Leslie's anywhere near your pool or a sample of pool water.

Anaheim/ NM chili peppers. These are great for enchiladas, grillled, raw, etc.

I feel like unless I skim the pool surface twice a day for leaves and crap flying around I'm losing the battle.


This is how I felt until I got the betta bot. It's great. Definitely not going to get everything, but I rarely have to skim the pool at all now.

ETA: If you have a corded pool cleaner, the skimmer will get tangled up. I have a pressure side cleaner, so I can't have both in the pool at the same time.

Do you get nausea out of the blue?


Its not out of the blue when you put a fresh one in..

I did get that frequently with Zyns. Switched to Velo and no issues since.

FYI if you live nearby, you can go by their warehouse (or at least you could the last time I bought some, probably 2 years ago) to avoid shipping costs.

It blows my mind how shitty smart pool systems are.

ScreenLogic sucks balls.

You are dehydrated.

Drink water while boozing, before going to sleep, and right when you wake up.

Or don't. I don't give a frick.

Brought mine down by losing weight. Asked doc how much to lose and he said lose until BP is normal, your body knows. Lost 55 lbs 4 years ago and haven’t taken BP meds since.


I lost 40lbs and then nearly passed out from low BP in September last year. Doctor took me off the meds, and I was fine until this past week. Something is spiking my BP, and I ended up in the ER on Sunday. Possibly liver issues. Yay.

What does that mean?


It means he is taking a BP medicine at a low dosage. Probably without any diuretic.

Scam.

Why are you considering it?

Help me understand what you're suggesting here. Because patents get submitted very early on in the development process and the clock starts running then. So no real benefit to slowing the down the process intentionally.


For new indications as well as to maximize profit on one asset as it reaches end of life before releasing its successor.

ETA: better phrasing would have been "maximize profits during patent terms."

They most certainly are holding back research because they make about a million dollars per cancer patient.


There is value in knowledge, not ignorance. These companies do not hold back research. They absolutely "shelf" assets to maximize patent terms, but they perform the research to know for what indications and when to release those assets.

It doesn't make financial sense to stifle research on their own assets, and they can't control research performed by other companies.
