So there's 2 reasons. The first is when i was 17 i got hit by a car while on my bike and i broke several ribs in several places, broke my jaw, broke a femur and cracked my skull and had a ton of soft tissue damage, and as time went on the pain was just not getting any better and i was diagnosed with a condition where essentially the physical injuries themselves fully healed, however for some reason my nervous system/brain never got that message and so is still sending out the pain signals as if the injuries were fresh from yesterday, so basically i'm still in just as much pain 10 years later as the day after i was hit. The second reason is i have a rare type of kidney stone that behaves very differently from normal kidney stones so i end up passing a ton of them, like it's not unreasonable to expect me to pass close to 20 in a week.

So are there long-term consequences for using it as a weight loss drug?

This is how 9v batteries are made. And most batteries with higher voltage outputs.

There are several major email marketing platforms that provide templates for unsubscribe forms and follow-up surveys for their customers to use. The one you describe sounds like it is MailChimp’s standard form. MailChimp is used by a crap ton of small to medium sized business.

A five year would have no idea what math equations with parenthesis are

Woah. Didn’t even know there was a test that did that… I’m sure my insurance won’t cover it and I can’t even see my PCP, but now I’m curious if you can just get that test on your own and how much it would cost… because I’m relatively tiny, docs assume that I needed the smallest dose of anything, but it varies across the board… and I’m more curious if its a vitamin deficiency or something else because I’ve had all sorts of speculation…

This must be why in the hospital we can give such high doses of benzos to people in alcohol withdrawal with so little risk. I know they mimic the effect of alcohol for people who drink around the clock, but it still feels crazy giving 4mg lorazepam every hour (often with little effect) when most of us would get 8 hours sleep on 0.5mg

It's super important to note that in the US, no matter what your written DNR -- the form that patients complete while in their soundest minds after a discussion with a physician -- says, it can always be overridden by family who want to "do everything". It is one of the cruelest and most selfish things for people do to their loved ones, but it happens all the time. Anyone filling out a DNR absolutely must have frank and honest conversations with their family members about their wishes before they are incapacitated.

I've always told my family that if they rescind my DNR I will haunt the ever-loving shit out of them.

I almost hit 7…tapped out when I could barely do 6…

I never knew the name of Binet’s formula until now. I thought it was one of the neat things when I derived it from the matrix power form of the sequence.

They will ignore a tattoo. You need the actual paperwork on hand

Campfires can blow embers into new areas that start a fire.

Or people who are burning rubbish on their property, etc

Discarded cigarettes butts

Sparks from machinery, trains breaking, etc

Electrical arcs (e.g. if a power line gets blown down or shorts out in strong winds)

If you have a bunch of flammable stuff in a pile and the ideal conditions for a fire to start and grow it doesn't take much

Edit to add: The lightening also doesn't need to be the typical lightening most people would associate with also having a thunderstorm attached to it. There's also "dry lightening" which doesn't need rain to happen. (I can't really ELI5 what causes dry lightening because I don't fully understand it myself)

I feel that way several times a week. I don't know why. It's really scary, and all I can do is just remind myself that the feeling will pass in an hour or so.

I KNEW it!

Do you by any chance have red hair? Redheads notoriously require more pain relievers/anesthesia than non red heads.

I mean, 299,792,458 is kind of a sacred number, as far as we can tell so far.

If I had to give a singular "anger chemical" it would be glutamate.

Another, smaller 9V battery?

A bunch of 1mm tall dudes in hard hats and yellow safety gear, running around driving little miniature forklifts carrying pallets of electricity, and when I peel back the sides of the battery they all start yelling at me in thick bronx accents, threatening to get the union reps involved?
