  • If you can’t get pain meds I’d try Kratom.

    Start with a low dose and work your way up. If you take too much you will puke which would be awful in your current condition.

    Take the right dose and it will significantly relieve the pain. I slowly took increased doses until they started to make me feel a little woozy or get cold sweats. Then I knew my personal dose is a little less than that.

    I can’t stress enough though - take less at first and try a little more each time.

    Either eat food with it every time or take on an empty stomach every time, but don’t go back and forth unless you know your proper personal dose with and without food. It matters a lot with Kratom.

    All that said, do it right and it will bring more relief than anything else I’ve been able to legally acquire. Absolutely do not allow yourself to take it every day once the pain is manageable. Plenty of people do… But don’t do that.

    Good luck. No matter what - this is only temporary. You will get through it.








  • Adding to the fun - The light is still going the same speed within the medium, but it’s bumping into more things. Those collisions divert the light, lengthening the distance it travels through something like 1 cm of glass vs 1 cm in a vacuum. It changes the time it takes to travel through glass rather than the speed at which the light is moving.

    At least that’s what I remember from a YouTube video.





  • My understanding of these trophy hunts is that they only allow people to shoot the animals that are no longer contributing to the gene pool.

    They collect a ton of money to support conservation by allowing some rich guy to shoot an old lion or elephant or whatever that would have died soon of natural causes, whether a fight with a younger male, or disease, or a lifetime of accumulated injuries.

    If that is accurate, I’m ok with this system. That said I have no interest in participating in it and have done little research outside of the information I’ve naturally encountered in everyday life.



  • Old Millennial.

    I grew up without cell phones or Internet until my teen years. Remember watching the OJ trial whenever I was home sick from school.

    We were really worried about Y2K, which would have been a disaster if not fixed ahead of time.

    Had to work on 9/11, and remember what airports were like before all the added security.

    Also had to work - pushing groceries to people’s cars while the VA sniper was rolling around the area shooting people in parking lots.

    I remember people smoking cigarettes fucking everywhere. There were cigarette vending machines.

    Our 2 and 3 liter bottles had an extra plastic piece to make the bottom flat. I don’t think they were making them with feet like they do today. The bottoms were round, requiring a plastic shoe to create a flat bottom. Sometimes the bottles had a metal cap.

    Hardly anybody wore seatbelts. Gas was under $1/gallon when I started driving.
