NG+ isn't matching my level...?

I am level 168 and just went into NG+ again and the max zone is 130 level...this hasn't happened before, it used to match my level more closer the last time I played NG+.

CAT shows "Mid Colon Diverticulosis"

I had a routine cat scan because I had Testicular cancer in 2023, didn't need any treatment thankfully...just had to get one removed...also my tumor markers were fine.

Recent scan showed Mild Diverticulosis, I told the doc every now and then when I need to pee my lower-left side hurts so I guess this makes sense of what's going on. I had to change my diet to mostly all clean, I can't drink any alcohol anymore, have to limit greasy foods, make sure I don't over-eat...stuff like that.

But something tells me I have this for life? A few weeks ago it was really bad, but now it's way better...been cleaning up my diet with more fiber and cleaner foods...also red meat is a nono now...can't even eat steak anymore I guess.

I am 41 and had NO idea about this condition, but by what I am reading it doesn't just go away? I used to drink maybe 5 beers a week total, but my diet was totally bad...

So basically, way less carbs/no booze/no red meats helped a ton. But it's not perfect, sometimes it just aches a bit for awhile, goes away the next day...comes back maybe...maybe not.

Ultegra 8000 FD vs. 105 Fd

I have these two, the ultegra one has surprisingly good weight difference compared to the 105 fd, also the ultegra is built a bit different, instead of metal it's hard plastic in some areas.

Stone Golem too rare to spawn now

Tried for 3 days...max corruption...devine chests...stimulants.

Got world corruption to 100% about 5 times in a row and he didn't spawn...think I may give up. He had spawned a few weeks ago, not anymore.

I just want your key bro.

Trek confirmed with bigger tires, the isospeed is redundant

In this article here you can see why they did this...they removed the isospeed to reduce weight, and the hassle of it...the going trend is bigger tires...so they did some tests are like "yeah may as well use bigger tires".

Also a welcome change is reduced crank length and more narrow handlebars...seems like Trek is following the right trend.

Personally, I own an AL4 so not the Carbon version...but I can't see how Carbon is going to give me more comfort when I can just increase the tire size and lower the pressure.

Carbon is about weight, and stiffness in the right places...MOSTLY.

Tires do over 90% of the job.

Do you think they are 100% done with The Beast?

Techland has been pretty silent on the beast ever since the Restored Land update, which didn't add anything at all really. I don't know what they were thinking adding that, it was just something to throw in there that wasn't anything new to the map.

I am guessing they will just do an even for the anniversary next month and some skins.

Don't think my X should have a puppy

10 week old puppy put into a cat carrier for 12 hours 4 days in a row, it's 30c out and she doesn't have any AC...

It's a Pomeranian so very small...

You can't train or be useful for the dog at all like this, you can't potty train the dog properly like this...

I told her she shouldn't have gotten a puppy, she's not setup for this with working 12 hour shifts.

She wants me to meet it but I feel so bad that I almost never want to meet this dog.

Car front tinted windows...lets talk

So I remember when I was 18 with my super SEXY 2000 Cavalier...I had my back windows tinted, which was totally legal...but I heard the guys at work saying oh don't get your fronts tinted...IT'S ILLEGAL!

Well I don't think anybody gives a shit anymore, there's all kinds of PEI plates with full 100% Limousine tint in the fronts...

What a nightmare that would be for winter, this ain't Florida.

I don't think the cops enforce this law anymore, or they simply changed it to "We don't give a shit anymore:".

Belt chirps on cold start, and going up hills

My belt is in good condition, but it chirps on a cold start and at a certain rpm, not loud squeaking but noticeable.

Tightness seems to be ok...what to check next? Tensioner? It's a 2017 Hyundai accent. Don't see any fluid leaking out anywhere.
