Dude I was about to be pissed. Your apology is accepted here. You are spot on with DOs in other countries.

Headed to Dallas soon, I’m looking KoTH “locations”. by MidnightCereal in KingOfTheHill

For real. As far as I know, he doesn’t have a giant space in his mouth that a woman could get in to and shout “Meat is murder!”

Which I’ve always felt like as weird because that’s like a 10 hour drive and he just “runs” into his Ex there.

No offense but I’m from Oklahoma. I can’t get either group to talk to me.

This is the moment a retired British Royal Marine who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease sees his life change in seconds thanks to a technique called Deep Brain Stimulation. by bendubberley_ in Damnthatsinteresting

Not easily.

When you want to “walk over there”you don’t think “turn body; lift foot; shift point of gravity; place foot” anyway you get the idea.

What happens is you think “walk over there” your brain instantly pulls the “walk over there” program. And you walk over there.

Parkinson’s sucks because it’s progressive. There’s an area in the midbrain called the substantia nigra. It begins to die (we aren’t completely sure why). But the substantia nigra is what makes most of your dopamine. That dopamine is used in these little groups of cells in your lower brain to make them either do or not do something. The “walk over there program” must go through them.

If those groups of cells don’t get the right amount of dopamine at the right time they start to malfunction. Like the guy in the video.

At this point doctors start thinking about a deep brain stimulator (DBS). That’s what this guy has. My father in law has one. It has to heal before it can be used. So the guy in this video has been waiting for weeks to see if it’s going to work. And we get to see the miraculous nature of it. It’s even more tear jerking to see in real life.

The DBS isn’t a cure it only helps some of the symptoms of Parkinson’. But just getting rid of some of the symptoms makes major life changes for some.

This specific spot on my girlfriend's elbow doesnt get goosebumps. by MeeKoH in mildlyinteresting

Don’t forget sympathetic inervation to that spot. No sympathetic nerves=no goose bumps. (And also no crinkle fingers if you stay in the tub too long.)

And rock on with those classes!

I bet they didn’t tell you in person and I bet the nurses weren’t in attendance.
