Gluten intolerant person here. It’s like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it. Very rarely however, people will have the thing where they will just fucking explode into hives if someone breaks out a piece of bread in the same room as them. Just like peanut kid in elementary school.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

Get Michelin Cross-Climate tires. They’ve got a really different tread design that makes them true All-Weather tires that aren’t dogshit in the snow and rain.

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can’t use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There’s so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it’s not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

Sometimes I have it re-write emails for me if I feel like my tone is off. Once in a blue moon I’ll use an LLM to write a trivial AHK script. I also use AI art bots for throwaway character art for NPCs in my D&D campaign.

Beyond that, almost never.

I’ve been following your journey with this and I feel for you. I have mystery GI problems too (not as bad though) and my experience is that it’s nigh impossible to get a proper diagnosis for GI things because they all have the same batch of symptoms.

They threw the book at me, full colonoscopy, CAT scans, blood work, stool tests, etc. More than a year and $4000+ later the best I got was “Idk bro, good luck”.

I wound up doing an elimination diet on my own and found what foods trigger my issues. No real diagnosis beyond blanket IBS though.

Hope you find your answers.

That was actually the coolest year of the rest of your life.
