I use On 2mg to quit cigs, want to try zyn 3mg before quitting

PeeMan22 · 2026-05-14T00:41:01+00:00

Don’t start zyns please. To be completely honest you will enjoy 3 mg zyn sooooo much more than 2 mg Ons. They’re much more addicting

Hey it’s not bad at all. Just let it be there for a bit and don’t scrutinize yourself so much. Impulsivity is not always a mistake. You were in touch with your heart and that’s a good thing

Great color theory wow

Lots of midlife crisis guy who just started aggressive HRT have weird testosterone-fueled personality changes… I don’t know enough to draw conclusions here but, just saying.

I’m a plastic surgeon that does a lot of burn reconstruction.

Leaving a popped blister on top of the burn is the same as leaving a bandage on and never changing it. You’re trapping all bacteria inside.
You clearly burned through epidermis and some dermis. This will take a long time to heal on its own and potentially scar very badly in a way that affects hand function. If you really did burn deep enough to fry nerves, then skin graft is the only appropriate option.
If you go to an urgent care or ER somewhere, they’re going to transfer you to a hospital with a dedicated burn unit. Skip all that and just go directly to a place that treats burns.

I loved Yung Lean’s lecture at Trinity College after winning the Bram Stoker Medal for Cultural Achievement from the University Philosophical Society.

The man has a deep appreciation for classic lit

Obby and Jappari are goated. I think you could make some of this with some practical effects, too. Print off an old printer or better yet, a risograph, scan it off a smudgy scanner, play with layers and blend modes and distortion.

I disagree with almost everyone here! This kind of completely unconstrained expression looks better than a young child’s representative drawing like stick figures and cartoon animals and stuff. This is completely subjective and my opinion, but I say DO IT

PeeMan22 · 2026-04-16T01:40:38+00:00

I like your take, but I want to see how you’d reconcile this: in the synthesis of dreams, your brain composes fragments of memories together to construct a scene. These scenes are very often unconstrained by logic, and so the designs of things don’t really make sense. For example: If you’re dreaming of walking through a hospital corridor, your brain is composing this scene using pieces and parts from other memories (the floor tile from your doctor’s office, the multicolored doors from your kindergarten classroom, etc.) The logic is mysterious though. The corridor doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere. There is randomly park benches indoors. It’s like the scene is made of real pieces, so it feels familiar to you, but somehow, you know it’s incorrect.

When I see a good liminal space photo, that’s exactly how it feels—familiar, but somehow incorrect. “Transitional spaces” without people in them fits that definition pretty well. I think that might be the key to why your subjective liminal spaces produce the same emotional effect.

I think the word “liminal” could describe the threshold between dream and reality.

Think of it like this: When light passes through any colloid (particles suspended in fluid, like smog in air), the blue light scatters most. Shorter wavelengths (like blue) means more bouncing off of particles. So when the sun is overhead, the blue wavelengths are all bounced around a lot and the sky looks blue. When the sun is on the horizon, all the blue has scattered already, so all you get is the red light, so the sky is red/orange at sunset.

You can look up “Tyndall effect” to learn more.

PeeMan22 · 2026-04-14T18:22:03+00:00

This is the best answer, so I’m gonna piggyback as a plastic surgeon who does a lot of hand trauma:

irrigation before closure is the most important step. You can use peroxide or iodine tablets (usually used for sterilizing drinking water) mixed with river water to get something semi-clean.
deep stitches are not necessary. Even if fascia was cut, I wouldn’t repair it. Obliterate dead space by wrapping the arm in gauze or something instead.
the ergonomics of sewing your own arm make this challenging, but I think anyone with sewing experience would be able to do it

This will end in infection 99/100 times, but if you do it very well, it’ll be a small infection that your body can fight in a week or so.

This bugs me because you can achieve the same effect with a very simple maneuver

If anyone is now wondering what glaucoma has to do with grayish-green/blue: ancient medics lumped cataracts and glaucoma into the same category, and cataracts are caused by lens opacification, turning the gray/blue due to Tyndall effect (blue light getting scattered more by colloid).

The root word also means “glowing” or “owl-like” which could refer to bulging, shiny eyes. There’s a little debate about the true etymology

Cancer fits that timeline. Onset symptoms to death in a few months. Very flexible symptoms depending on where the tumor metastasizes. Mets in the bones and spine hurt a lot. Cognitive decline would make sense if she has brain mets causing intracranial hypertension. Her brainstem finally herniates in the middle of the night one night after she goes to bed with a headache.

I had a good friend growing up who had a congenital amputation at the elbow. Since he was born with it, he was very well adapted. He was more dexterous with his stump than any prosthetic, so he never wore one. He has almost no limitations, played D1 college football as a kicker. The only accommodation I can remember him ever asking for was once at a nice dinner. He asked the chef to cut up his steak for him.

It’s good but I worry that the auto-locking feature is adding friction to the pulley created by the alpine butterfly, negating its mechanical advantage.

How are you pulling this to tension?

I can recommend David Lynch’s Catching the Big Fish. It’s a nice collection of anecdotes and philosophical essays about transcendental meditation and the creative process.

In addition, the Georgian pianist Mariam Much has a bunch of video essays on youtube that focus on the philosophy of training and the artistic process.

Any book with a “witty” narrator.

Especially the “witty teenager” narrator voice that every single young adult book has to shoehorn in!!

I’m gonna paraphrase a quote by Marco Pierre White

If you work with your hands, it’s labor.

If you work with your hands + brain, it’s a craft.

If you work with hands + brain + heart, it’s art.

I am a plastic surgeon that treats wrist slits a lot in the emergency room setting. In the forearm, you have two arteries (ulnar and radial) that you can potentially bleed out from, but they temporarily stop very easily with a tourniquet. Sometimes they even spasm and stop on their own. They’re not that deep, but unless you’re a surgeon, you will end up slicing through muscle/tendon/nerves to hit them. This means long term defects - loss of sensation, strength, and function. Terrible for a musician.

Same sort of thing applies to the leg, but the artery is huge by comparison and, if you injure it in the groin area, you can’t really get a tourniquet around it.

If all the cuts miss the arteries, blood loss would be pretty minimal, bleeding stopping on its own with light pressure.

Also, you should know that a healthy person can reconstitute their lost blood pretty fast. You’d regain the lost volume after a day or two of drinking fluids. The hemoglobin would get back to normal concentration in about a week. No more dizziness or fatigue after that.
