I mean, is this a peptide? Do you have a name?

direct nose cleaning with spray every evening before going to sleep, mostly salt water based but also tried some essential oil based ones. Seems to work well, but also some noticeable irritation up to minor bleeding if I overdo it so I've gotten a bit more careful.
Hold up, what sprays exactly are you using? I have a bad history of sinus infection and headaches(and large sinuses), and once I discovered saline sprays, it was as if I stumbled across a magical elixir that cured all my ills.
I can't imagine such things ever causing irritation or minor bleeding. If anything, they're rather soothing. Maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid, but if I had minor bleeding from using a saline spray I'd be consulting a doctor to make sure there isn't something very wrong with me.
Edit before posting: Ah, re-reading had me stumble across you noting a nose malformation birth defect. Sorry boss, that's probably what's causing it.

You could try an old hatchback. The Ford Fiesta I have doesn't even have cruise control or electric windows.

I try to limit my intake of olive oil simply due to how calorie dense it is, though I've been going back and forth over finding a good pre-made vinaigrette to go on my salad and just throwing my hands up and making my own from scratch.
You'd be surprised how many of said pre-made vinaigrettes use soybean oil, hence my annoyance.
When it comes to cooking, I typically prefer lard or butter.

Diverse but isolated.
People try to claim America as a melting pot without looking at the mechanics(Nevermind that the phrase itself referred to New York City). That's the part that always sticks at me when I look at my very local history and see the various ethnic settlements that developed.
Certainly, you have diverse ethnic settlements that look from a modern standpoint to be very close to one another... but when you stop and take a step back, consider the time period they developed and the lack of coherent infrastructure, and you realize that these self-same settlements were in the middle of fucking nowhere and would take a good number of days to reach the nearest town or transportation hub, nevermind the nearest city.
Diverse, but isolated. Now, there is no isolation; we are all in the pot together, and it's slowly starting to boil.

I didn't know such arguments were infamous.
All I know is, after having to deal with both, I'll take the ducks.

If you're exercising/working out while taking it, you should be fine. I'm on 21 weeks of semaglutide and haven't noticed any lack of physical capability while training martial arts. If anything, I seem more capable, and I'm beginning to wonder if semaglutide has a side-effect of blocking soreness, but this might just be psychosomatic on my part.

This is just a philosophical argument that allows people to come to the recognition that, despite having done bad things in the past, they do not have to do bad things in the future.
But they have to stop wanting to do bad things.
I'm not saying appealing to the idea of Jesus's love as all-forgiving is wrong, mind you. I'm just pointing out it's not a magical panacea where you mumble words and all of a sudden everything is fixed.

I was about to say that I've never used AI, but then I realized that would be a lie - I've used AI before to put together a long string of fluffy bullshit for work in order to save myself the aggravation of putting together said fluffy bullshit.
...and I will likely use it again this week to, yet again, put together a few paragraphs of fluffy bullshit to appease the MBA types in my office.

I was curious if there was something I'm missing, hence my question.
Granted, we're in completely different locales, so pricing is likely rather different; for me, injections of Semaglutide come at around 200$ a month(tax included).
And I won't even go into the recent scam prices they're now charging for Ozempic.
Supposedly, you can get Semaglutide even cheaper than my pricing from the same outlets pharmacies get it, as long as you're not afraid of doing a little mixing on your lonesome. I may go that route, once my prescription runs out.

My immediate question would be 'Why do you need to spend half-a-million on a house?'
If someone handed me half a million dollars, I'd put 400k of that into investment and use the remaining 100k to start building a small home. (I'm already ahead of the curve as I have property to put said house on, but still.)
Besides, even if you did get the money, you're paying property tax, maintenance, insurance, upkeep on a house that costs half a million dollars. Talk about a bad investment.

I wasn't talking about loading saves; my point was that you can continue from a lost battle without having to just load a save.
Certainly. This doesn't stop bad luck from potentially slaughtering your front-runner team, however.
Have you actually played it?
X-com: UFO defense was one of the first games where I was introduced to the concept of 'pirating' and 'cheats' by someone in charge of the computer lab at a school I was helping out at. And while I don't have it installed right now, it's currently sitting nice and neat in my steam library.
Yes, I've played it. I've played it alot, thank you. You trying to brush off it as 'just a meme' makes me wonder if you've played it.
that's you not knowing how to negate it
Yes. And that's part of the difficulty curve - negating random change as much as possible. The original X-com has a surprising amount of tactical depth that can make even normally terrifying circumstances(such as night missions or breaching buildings/landed space ships) trivial, but even experienced gamers likely aren't going to get that out of the box and will experience a learning curve.

That's... odd. I've never had issues seeing her posts.

Behaviorally and mentally, they're completely different dogs, with completely different issues that need to be accounted for.
Plus, I tend to 'click' better with Malinois and Tervurens, from experience. Dunno why.

I did add alot of prefaces and assumptions to my argument, yes. I personally doubt we'll be seeing functioning, self-driving cars any time soon.

The capability to manage your kitchen and clean as you go is a skill, but it can be learned with enough practice.
Though it's important to remember step zero - make sure your work area is easy to clean.

Shrug. I like them. Don't know what more to say than that.

He might be referencing the old adage of wearing a tie around machinery that it could get entangled in and potentially do bad things to fragile human flesh is a big no-no. Rings are similar.
Other than that, I have no clue.

Pretty much, yes. Sugar-free snacks don't help much when I clean out her car to find discarded taco bell takeout and ice cream wrappers.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I have a friend of mine who's already on ozempic specifically to loose weight.
Ironically enough, he's not obese - he just knows he eats alot and wants to stay at a healthy weight.
He literally cannot over-eat. As in, physically impossible. It makes him uncomfortable bordering on painful. Solid foods, atleast - does it affect liquids? I don't know.
So there's something there, atleast.

popular actress
Doubt. While my experience with most modern movies is fairly limited, everything I've seen of her is the metaphorical equivalent of a cudgel - an ambiguously brown women/girl they can shoe-horn and pretend everyone finds attractive, and if you point out the obvious race-switching, they make the typical noises about racism.
She's not even that good an actress, from everything I've seen.
I can just wordlessly point at the utilization that medical euthanasia has gotten in Canada, as I feel that encapsulates the best example of 'this is what could happen.'
And, yes, my reply would be along the lines of 'Tell you what, Doc, you first, then I'll consider it.'
Flippant commentary aside, I don't want the above scenario to come to the fore because I believe, in order for us to get to this point, several things have gone horribly wrong. I don't want the option to be on the table to begin with. I don't want a scenario where I'm incommunicado for whatever reason, and the doctor kindly suggests to my family and/or next of kin 'Well, we could do this...'
I'm sure I could paint what-ifs till the day was over, and still not realize the worst of what could occur. Personally, I'd just rather nip the matter in the bud and make sure it could never happen to start.
