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.

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.

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.

The problem with sheetrock(which 99.99% of new homes built nowadays use) when exposed to water is that it creeps. Even if you get a small amount of water in your home, you're probably going to have to rip out atleast 2 feet, if not more.
When I install wainscoting, what I'll do is put in water-resistant plywood, then ontop I'll use 1/8th plywood stained/painted the color I want, with the appropriate baseboard/edging that I chose. All screwed in. This does multi-duty - it looks nice, I can swap out the 1/8th plywood/trim later if I want to change the color up, and if I need quick access for whatever reason to the wall interior behind it, said access is fairly painless - just unscrew and do your work.
As a plus, you now don't have to worry about anything running into said wall and making dents in the sheetrock(it's solid wood), and you can screw in hooks/hangers/shelving as needed, should you choose to do so. And installing the sheetrock on the remaining 4 feet of wall is now piss-easy - you just put the sheetrock ontop of the plywood and screw it in.
From the sound of things, you probably won't have to worry about the above installation, hiring others to do the work, but this is just my experience doing all the above myself.
Why minimal backsplash for the kitchen sink?
This is just my particular pet-peeve with the kitchen my father had installed in the family house - it's just small enough that when using it to clean dishes, water back-splashes everywhere, including behind the facet, making cleanup a pain. I'm not sure if there's a way around it in terms of sink/faucet combo, but when I finally get around to building my own kitchen, I fully intend to find out.
Build or buy
Generator system should be around... 16,000 or so? for propane, which I would suggest, given you'll be in the South. Foam installation - trust me, it's worth it. Just make sure you get someone you can trust to install it. Never priced shutters - that's just a wishlist item of mine that I've wanted to have on-hand SEVERAL times in the past.
The wainscoting above I did all myself when it was done, so I couldn't tell you off-hand what it would cost. Most builders nowadays would proably look at you funny if you request it, or do a 'faux' wainscot that's just pure looks/appearance. Any future home I build I plan on doing the interior myself, so I don't consider it to be something weird to do.

To quote scripture, 'Go forth, and sin no more.'
You equate 'cost' as if it's something to be paid to God. No. It's something you pay to yourself.
If you prefer a secular version, you can't force someone into therapy when they don't want to heal.

Coming in really late. Thank you, Quality Contributions, for bringing this to my attention.
Okay, first off - thank you. Sincerely. Cologne has developed into an amateur passion of mine, so while I was cognizant of alot of these terms, I like how you went a bit more indepth and explained the origins. For example, I knew that 'blue' was a term for a daily driver, but I never knew where it came from. Interesting.

Yoink. Sample ordered. I've been looking for a good tobacco-heavy scent to try out, and this looks perfect. Again, thank you.

...because that's what houses cost???
Not where I'm at. I'm seeing houses in subdivisions for as low as 175,000, and that would still be stupidly over-sized for what I'd need.

The remake has an ironman mode that only allows auto-saving, no manual.
The original X-Com was also rather infamous for it's odd, weighted chances of ally fire missing all 99% shots, while aliens were able to snipe characters from across the map. In the original, you could replay missions, but said missions could also be rather lengthy, and could be difficult to tell where your potential screwup was, meaning you needed to play very conservatively and tactically in the early and mid-game, while you game up your economy and tech-level.
And this still didn't stop aliens from sniping your guys as they came down the ramp, as sheer random chance could still fuck you over hard.
So his comparison is a little loose, but I get the overall gist of his argument.
I mean, is this a peptide? Do you have a name?
