Every patient I’ve had in the ER just slipped and fell on it. Crazy odds. Yeah, our bodies can’t push everything out whether because of size, shape, or integrity. I think the worst was the guy who had peeled ginger that got stuck. BDSM thing for him, used to be a form of torture. He was in a lot of pain and it took a while to get him to endoscopy.

ER nurse here. Yes, this is a real thing. Usually, the first symptom is a steadfast denial that cannabis is the cause, so props to you for acknowledging it is likely the cause of your pain nausea and emesis. It was tough to provide care for people twice a week who would refuse to believe cannabis was causing their symptoms. That said, it looks miserable so I was always bummed someone was going through it. It would often last longer than when they tried to quit too which feels a bit unfair and contributes to the denial. There is usually a distinct retching sound people make that would out them as CHS; it is not subtle. Two things that can help fairly reliably are 1) A hot shower and 2) capsaicin topical cream rubbed on the torso. Test the capsaicin cream on a small part of your forearm first to see if you are ok with it before you lather your chest. Something about that warming sensation made folks feel much better. YMMV. Best of luck to you and others that have CHS.

Nice shot!!

Just got ER (very late to the game as a 49yo who has never played a soulslike) and found Godrick today after work…wish me luck!!!

And half of Americans have an IQ less than 100. The math maths.

It’s just so cool to slowly work out how to beat these bosses, then backslide and still stick with it, then to finally break through and defeat them…big yell when I won!! And it’s just so gorgeous and fighting larger than life enemies and the music. And I’m barely started!!

See anything fun in the stars?

I mean, over time, some generations later, some seemed to have turned out to be nazis and fascists like him.

If you want a decent DAP for cheaper than a DAC/Amp, you can always get a used LG V50 ThinQ on Ebay for $50. You can use it as a 5G phone too if you want. Quad DAC, 3.5mm out, and it will drive 300ohm headphones well too. Solid display, stream from everywhere, play movies...just a thought.

GLP-1, and Mounjaro is much better than Ozempic. Follow up with SARMs and heavy weights lifting to regain muscle. Yoga and farmer carries for core. It’s been 2 years since I stopped the shots and am exactly the same weight.

sounds like a wonderful evening! so fun to be awestruck and enchanted by the universe while on mushrooms.

i picked up hollow knight on sale a while ago and am excited to play it too. thx for the rec!!

Love this! Great shot

Dungeon Crawler Carl is a great series that is not space/sci-fi but a fun LitRPG.

thx! really appreciate the invite :)

Sweet!! Bet it sounds awesome! Hope it brings you hours of joy

Fantastic shot! Love that town. It’s refreshing break from Nice.

Hottest was about 56C when I ran the Badwater race through Death Valley. Coldest was about -27 when I was in Idaho…tried to jog that day too but couldn’t take the burn in my lungs.

Right? Definitely renewed my drive to do more bucket list trips!

Dolphins are so rad to swim with!! That's awesome you got to swim with them! Where was that at?

There were definitely some moments of fear. They are SO massive and playful but they lose track of where their tails go. So you had to watch out for them, especially when there were 7 whales playing in the same area. One or two were easy to keep an eye on, but more was a bit hectic. That said, engaging with them, being SEEN by them, having them respond to your spins and arm waving was incredible and I am so grateful and awestruck.

That’s true. There are definitely risks to those compounds. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks! Yeah, It’s been nice to get out on torrent and reset for a bit after grinding in the catacombs and stuff.
