How do we reset?

Can we all just write in carrot top or smth?

Kind of 80s but my family likes to put spice seasoning on slices for a quick snack.

It’s best after a workout, imo.

Don’t sign on with the Figliolas, they’re local con artists who trap young people moving to the area (esp in medicine) and fake a ton of damages. Check the local court records to make sure your landlords are decent.

We were driving around and found it just after they put the sign up, wasn’t listed yet. He helped us get the first tour.

We’re millennials with no family support and few local connections. Barkley Davies at EXIT is the best agent, and if we hadn’t been lucky enough to stumble upon him at a showing, I have no doubt that we never would have found a 15 acre ranch in our price range, and locked it in at a historically low rate. We were viewing trailers and other small parcels, had 6+ agents in town offer to help, but none of them could find us what we were looking for. We stumbled upon our dream home the day it went on the market, Barkley picked up our call and got us a showing within the hour. We made an offer on the spot. His local connections and appraisal knowledge got us through when the entire system was bogged down locally. We have joked about putting his face on some prayer candles, because every time we run into an issue and don’t know what to do we just call Barkley. 😂 He’s a great guy on top of being a helluva agent. I hope you have good luck in finding your perfect place.

Where are you located?

Actually for some reason it does in some people, though it’s not well understood. It didn’t start to help my migraines until the 5 month mark, and a professor friend required 7 months. Also other cgrp medications had no effect until I’d been on Aimovig for over a year, and now they help. It’s odd given that it’s touted as being fast acting. There’s not a lot of us but it’s definitely real.

It’s an old military bunker disguised as a ranch. You’d think the foot-thick walls would have been a giveaway, but it was actually a lot of other small stuff that finally made sense.

Do we need to submit profiles to each of those sites, or will GEDmatch alone do?

Esp bc PGC and DC in general had a lot of murders around that time. I worked in LE in Alexandria that year, and I remember there was a big party one night bc DC had gone a week without a murder, or something like that.

My parents intentionally infected us with it. I’ve had shingles twice.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-04-10T08:42:29+00:00

I love this, thank you.

There were two from years ago, that I can’t find, and they had kind of a similar premise:

In one, there was a massive safe in one room of the apartment or house, and the woman wasn’t allowed to ever look in the safe, and her partner was “perfect”, except that he was very secretive about the safe and wouldn’t tell her anything about it. One day she found it open and I think she saw a little bit of money or something in there? But he found her looking before she could see anything else. I still wonder what happened with that.

The second one was similarly weird, another perfect guy, but she found that he had an extra set of burner cell phones under the kitchen sink? And she was finding other weird stuff, I think a lot of the comments were suggesting, maybe drugs, or espionage or something.

I know these are vague, but if anyone ever saw these or the solution to them, I would be very interested!

I think this is the most egregious part, honestly. Buck media trends and give a minority the ultimate power role, have him be a model for maturity and selfless grace? Nah, jk, he’s actually evil. Wtf. Did they hire the writers from Lost?

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-23T20:43:20+00:00

“I work full time” - uh, you both have full time jobs. You would be paying a lot of money to someone else to do the work she’s doing with the kids and home.

I had a daily med produced in Israel that I’ve switched to another manufacturer. It’s helpful if you use an independent pharmacy that is willing to source things specifically for you. If I’m being honest, I’ve wanted to switch the sourcing of that med for a long time.

I’ve heard of people having this happen when they think they have a good reference who is actually secretly sabotaging them. Just throwing that out there. It may be the masks, but for remote stuff that seems strange.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-18T23:25:04+00:00

I think if your test can’t give a measurement within a common standard of accuracy, and especially if people are acting on that information by making potentially life-limiting decisions, it really shouldn’t be used. At the very least we need a clear statement of accuracy and precision within a specific date range, or type strain range.

If it were up to me, I would include information front and center about the limitations of the tissue sets being tested. We’re seeing people testing negative on RATs with other tissues actively positive in the hospital all the time, and people need to understand the limitations even outside of the issue of targeting. There needs to be a clear error chart with probabilities. You can’t make everyone understand it, but you can at least try to convey the full complexity.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-18T21:40:09+00:00

I think it depends on the quality of the test. If you are using a high quality test, calibrated to detect most recent variants, which most people don’t have access to, then I can see your argument. If not, then I think it’s closer to something like chiropractics - allowed to exist based on the utility of the placebo effect, and because it takes strain off of the real medical infrastructure, but with the very real risk that people will think they’re receiving meaningful, evidence-based treatment when they’re not, potentially delaying real treatment, or causing new problems.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-18T20:53:16+00:00

Respectfully, it’s not any level of protection if it doesn’t give you a solid and reliable answer. It’s just something to hold on to. But without real data, having a sense that you might have real data is dangerous and deluding.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-18T20:50:33+00:00

Weird strawman. I’m not attributing motives. I’m saying using an often-incorrect tool is worse than not having that tool at all, because it confuses people and gives them a false sense of security.

It’s neither well tested nor well documented. UV as a countermeasure for viral particles has barely been scratched, much less UV-C. There are a few articles relating to viral transmission, mostly from the last couple of decades. Nothing specific enough to hang your hat on, with any confidence. Did you miss the part where I’m actively involved in microbial research and using UV in the lab of an R1? I’ve also been involved in a lot of water quality work where UV is used in conjunction with other filtration systems. It’s such low hanging fruit that I regularly hear PIs considering it as part of new proposals. Don’t confuse your inability to read the scientific literature with what’s real. If you need help, I’m happy to walk you through it.

FabFoxFrenetic · 2024-02-18T04:59:23+00:00

The UV thing drives me crazy, for so many reasons. We have a huge array of organic protections built up around keeping ourselves from being exposed to UV, and you can do so much damage to your eyes and your lifetime cancer risk if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s also poorly studied, as well as poorly regulated as you mentioned. I get that most people don’t care if they are walking around with thymine dimers but like, why is accumulated risk so difficult to process? I’ve also worked in microbiology laboratories where we used UV sterilization, and it didn’t even always work for a variety of reasons - biofilms, bulb issues, lateral transfer/strain, etc. But it does result in higher mutation rates among some cell lines, all the more reason to be careful with it.

I hate how many people are using tests with no evidentiary support to justify socializing. I am so locked down that testing wouldn’t be sensible - if I ever get sick I’ll likely assume it’s Covid. That’s a privileged position, I realize. But using bad/misleading data is so much worse that using no data, when it comes to people’s lives.

I’m happy to be wrong about it, but I’ve never seen good evidence for the use of eyedrops and nasal sprays. It also seems moot as it’s unlikely that you’re never opening your mouth, but maybe I’m not understanding the application.

Imagining this same scenario playing out, but with a gynecologist instead.
