I started taking statins this week.
I've had naturally high cholesterol my whole life, nothing I do brings it down.
For the past year I became a pescatarian, ran 3-4 times a week, played ball-hockey once a week, cut down alcohol to 1-2 drinks a week, worked fairly regularly, took a Metamucil supplement daily and have a high metabolism so I've always been fairly fit...and yet my cholesterol level shot up to the highest it's ever been ffs.
so after much debating and on the urging and recommendation of my Dr, I finally bit the bullet and took the damn pill.
I feel defeated, but probably for my own good. Any one else on it?
- I also eat olive oil by the gallon so my good cholesterol is at a good level but my bad cholesterol is off the chart._niko
- <* worked out fairly regularly_niko
- I take Atorvastatin. Doc says it's helping my numbers!Akagiyama
- Probably genetic like me - look into disbetahyperlipidemi... and specifically your beta-LDL component to the total?theonlyengineerhere
- @Akagiyama - Atorvastatin Calcium is the generic name of Lipitortheonlyengineerhere
- Change your lifestyle, wait a while for it to settle, remeasure. Repeat. But sometimes your genetics are against you.comicsans

I work with some 22-26 y/o fellows that never studied editorial design. I mean, they put up layouts for digital stuff like commerce and landing pages, but have NEVER had an infatuation with Emigre, Raygun, The Face, i+d, Print, or shit. They just fucking exist and make me feel old and grumpy.

- if you care about some but not all of them is that ok :D fuckin hate raygunArchitectofFate
- How do you NOT know what Emigre and Raygun are? I mean, do they even know what kerning like a bitch means?maikel
- Embrace the idiocracy while you can, AI will make them all irrelevant soonBluejam
- All those fantastic magazines date back to 25 years ago. The challenge lies in your hands to present them in a captivating and valuable mannerSlashPeckham
- Still see some nice magazine designs these days. Nothing groundbreaking but well designed.microkorg
- Can AI kern like a bitch? can it?
utopian, let us know.monospaced - lol i fucking hated editorial design.sted

- I was chatting to a young designer today who just uses Canva, she was saying since leaving college it's easy to smash designs out in that. And fuck adobe.PhanLo
- Canva is for marketers who don't have budget for real designers, and who are happy to settle for absolute shit.monospaced
- An old school mate was using Canva to do his menus for his take away and his instagram posts. I still use Illustrator, hehe.PhanLo
- A good designer can get by in canva, but it isn’t a standalone by any means.monospaced

Pee and check if you have to poop before you leave, pee when you arrive at the place, pee before you start heading home, pee when you are back at home
- this is literally the childhood road trip checklist.imbecile
- Yup, the way back to the toiletmaquito
- However, I prefer “piss”maquito
- Not every pee pee time is a poo poo time. But every poo poo time is a pee pee time.microkorg
- should have told that the jan.6 insurrections than they wouldnt have pooped inside the capitol building...neverscared
- When on the go, I pre-emptively take a piss wherever toilets are available.jagara

- I've been to more in the last 2 years than the last 15! Mostly edm/dance stuff, too. Mushrooms are your friend! NO hangover, save tons on drinks.formed
- Just don't forget the ear plugs!formed
- Here's another sign: I wish I had plugs for Oppenheimer but I suspect that would have been excruciating at any age.CyBrainX

Had to edit an 8min vid of some keynote slides with a bunch of animations, pre-recorded v/o and a subtle soundtrack following the silences between each v/o bit... in one day.
Even if I first thought “meh, been there, done that”, it was just terrible. Worst thing I had to do in the last 3/4 years. I eventually thought I wasn’t going to make it.
30 y/o me is probably still laughing at his older, slower, dumber version {:(

I saw Oppenheimer in the IMAX theater on Sunday. The sound was excruciating to the point that I won't ever see a movie in that theater again. To be honest, I think I would have reacted the same way at any age. It's not even an action movie.
