Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
I had some whiskey last night, just two drinks. I feel like I was up until dawn doing toot all night. I gotta stick to beer.

Funny, I just told B that tonight's wine has really hit me. Some evenings it just loosens me up, others it's like I've downed a whole bottle in 15 mins.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 7:18pmI had some whiskey last night, just two drinks.

I went to undergrad at Furman University. The liquor stores then sold grain alcohol - 180 proof - pretty much pure alcohol. When you mixed this stuff with anything, it really did not have a discernible taste but after only a few cups, you were really blitzed - and the next day was total detox - lay around and wait for your body to cleanse. It was big at frat parties to give to young girls. After my freshman year, I decided to give it up and stick with beer. No matter how many beers I have, I can run the next day.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
In David Halberstam's Summer of '49, about the Red Sox-Yankees pennant race that year, he tells the story of Sox pitcher Ellis Kinder, who was a phenomenal drinker. One night before he pitched, he got completely shitfaced with one of the Yankees in the hotel bar. The Yankee knew there was no way he could play that game, but at least he took out their pitcher. And, yeah, Kinder showed up like he died three weeks earlier. But he put on a heavy wool track suit, ran a few laps around the park, completely soaked with booze sweat, but was ready to go. Crazy tough physiology.gkbill wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 11:10pmHello,Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 7:24pmFunny, I just told B that tonight's wine has really hit me.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
So I almost returned my Apple Watch. I had it for a week and then last Friday it seemed like the plastic case had cracked in the corner. I did some Googling and that was a problem with the model. So I initiated a return on eBay and got to talking with the seller (a retailer in Montreal). After showing them photos, they were sure that it was a screen protector that was cracked and that I just needed to pull it off. I figured, okay, you're telling me to do it.
So I pull and a piece breaks off and I'm freaking out a bit because it's like hard plastic, even sharp like glass. But in for a penny, etc., so I keep going. Mostly it keeps breaking away, but yeah, the glass underneath is fine and the frame is fine. I have never come across a screen protector that thick and brittle. Anyway, it's all fine now. And much to my surprise, I'm actually digging it. Nothing crucial to it all, but a lot of convenient things with it.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
My last two screen protectors have been like that. I guess it's more protective of the scree but it's pretty easy to crack.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Sep 2020, 5:04pmSo I almost returned my Apple Watch.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Both of us looked at the watch and were convinced it was the frame that had cracked. It really seemed like part of the watch.Kory wrote: ↑22 Sep 2020, 1:48amMy last two screen protectors have been like that.
