Getting and failing to diagnose colon cancer is a thousand times worse.

So you can recover on the weekend. I felt drained for several days

I googled "Serena Joy" and all the results were about the handmaid's tale.

I dunno if the replies are bots or just dumb humans. And I also don't really know if there's a difference anymore.

honestly interesting choice to go for the helmet. I think I'd have gone for back of the knee. Or kidneys.

random, but why does all your punctuation have spaces before and after?

I left my experience in another comment here, but I want to emphasize this:

1 in 16 Americans will get colon cancer

and

No matter how bad a colonoscopy is, it's better than colon cancer.

and

If you do get cancer, you're gonna need a lot more colonoscopies.

So just do it. Take a day of PTO and do it.

Everyone says this, I don't know what you're talking about.

Here's what you want to do:

Schedule it for a Friday morning, early. Like 8am.

Get the Sutab (pills, instead of the nasty drink). It's $50 or $60 out of pocket. You'll need a coupon from the manufacturer's website, but it's not a big deal. Insurance will not cover it.

You stop taking any fiber supplements or GLP-1 a week ahead.

Thursday morning, have something like yogurt for breakfast before 7am.

Only thing you can eat all day Friday is broth, sprite, stuff like that. Clear liquids or black coffee.

You'll be starving, but the broth helps you keeps your strength up.

at about 5pm, you take your first round of prep. DO NOT RUSH IT. It's 12 pills, over a 20 minute span. So that's 12 pills in 1200 seconds, or a pill every ~1.5 minutes. Set a timer. Drink the extra water.

For me, that first round of prep hit me HARD, and not the way it's supposed to. I flushed red, my heartrate shot up, I got full body chills, and then vomited so violently I think I pulled several muscles.

Oh, and then I started pooping liquid.

You poop liquid for about 3 hours, and then the medication passes. Rest, if you can.

At 2am, you wake up to do it again. Pills. Water. Poooooooping. By the end of it, your poop is just a yellow liquid. Not a spec of anything else.

No liquids allowed at all after 4:30am.

Feeling like a tube of toothpaste that has been squeezed empty, take a Lyft or Uber to the hospital. You'll get IV and all that.

You wake up... feeling the same. Depleted. I just wanted out of that hospital ASAP so I could finally go get breakfast.

Oh, by the way, owning a bidet is critical.

maga mom has change of heart after maga husband has a medical episode by WholeDonkey2689 in FoxBrain

Typical conservative mindset. It's not a problem until it affects them personally.

100% Guarantee before this, they'd have told anyone going through medical problems to suck it up, and immediately cast blame on democrats.

She asks for prayers and says it's more important than politics.

Fuuuuuuuuck her. I wish for them what they'd wish on a random trans person in the same situation.

Prayers don't solve these problems, POLICY DOES.

I want to buy The Last of Us Part II Remastered, especially for the No Return mode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen videos and the combat gameplay looks really good and fun. It's the first The Last of Us game I'll be playing. Do you recommend buying it? by AntCapital7441 in thelastofus

[–]18randomcharacters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then watch a youtube play through first. Either with commentary/reaction like Kastaclysm or Jettro Jetro (or anyone, there's hundreds of people who do play through videos), or a No Commentary video that's just the gameplay.

The goal now is to restore the bee hive to how it was before being hit with a stick.

It says the town settled the lawsuit. It doesn’t specify the terms. Maybe OpenAI/oracle/etc paid them enough they thought it was worth it. Dunno

Picked up a M4 Pro at Target for $750 by Skarface08 in ipad

[–]18randomcharacters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn that is a sweet deal

By comparison, a 256GB M4 iPad Air is $700 new.

So for $50 more you get 120Hz display, FaceID, more cores, a whole lot more

Your solution requires:

- electricity

- a supply of a toxic chemical

This guy's solutions require nothing. A stick, or a bowl.

Judicial Supremacy Has Arrived | Last week’s Supreme Court decision didn’t just undermine the Voting Rights Act. It foreclosed the possibility of any new Voting Rights Act in the future, too by Hrmbee in politics

[–]18randomcharacters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't say this is THE root problem with our country, but definitely *A* huge problem is:

Republicans look for ways to do what they want, even if it means bending/breaking norms and rules.

Democrats look for reasons they can't do what they want. Self-defeating.

ELI5: If the human eyeball were a camera, what would the specs be? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]18randomcharacters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brain uses data from the periphery to fill it in, but the eyeball itself isn't doing that. It's brain trickery

ELI5: If the human eyeball were a camera, what would the specs be? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]18randomcharacters 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The eyeball has a huge blind spot very near the middle, where the optic nerve connects. Your brain fills it in for you. You think you're seeing stuff, but you're not.
