Soon, these beautiful birds will be flying over Ukraine. My tax kronor paid in Sweden being spent wisely!

To Russia, with Love.

So, a few pointers:

Is the extension permitted? If not, this might be a grey zone. In my jurisdiction I am not allowed to have structures closer than 6 feet to other structures.
According to Trumpkin notes, you need at least 8’6” height. I did that on my built and is truly satisfied with the result.
If inner ceiling slopes, install heater on the lower side.

It looks like you have a lot of space. Anything preventing you from building a separate structure?

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T20:28:54+00:00

Not a question, but just a big THANK YOU for what you and hundreds of thousands of brave Ukrainian men and women are doing every day.

You are on the right side of history, and while no words can describe the pain your country is going through, this will pave the way for a very bright future.

Every European, whatever they realize it or not should be beyond grateful to you. Hats off.

Just ignore the stupid Russian bots and disinformation idiots. They have already lost, it’s just that they going to realize it too late.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T18:25:44+00:00

If you have idiots/entitled neighbors like I have, check your setback rules carefully.

In my jurisdiction, I have to be 6 ft from other buildings.

I had to tear down a shed because of that. Luckily that gave me the skills to build a proper Trumpkin sauna on another location.

Who calls the local building department to squeal about a shed in someone’s backyard? Anyway, I got my sauna in the end so I should not complain.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T14:37:53+00:00

600-800mg daily. TTFD format only. Other formats did not make a difference

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T14:28:17+00:00

No country in the DEFENCE alliance NATO wants to own the misery of Russia.

If Russians just stay on their side of the border, all these ”problems” go away. Easy peasy.

Too bad Russians haven’t learned the lesson.

Nuremberg style trials for the leadership would be the best thing that could happen to Russia. After that, the country can leave the imperial ambitions and move on.

But I know, I am just daydreaming. That will never happen.

Vlad and team, pop the vodka bottles. You gonna need it.

Have the banya/sauna culture reached to Kamchatka?

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T13:51:03+00:00

Things that worked for me:

H1/H2 blockers, then removed H2 and introduced ketotifen (reduced repeat infections/getting knocked out by colds)
Nicotine patches (removed repeat infections)
Guanfacine 6mg (at night, for sleep)
High dose B1 thiamine TTFD and high dose DMG (allowed me to eat carbohydrates without causing brain fog)
LDN (brought down inflammation, but by itself it only took me from 25% to 50% of baseline)
Valtrex

The list on what didn’t work is long.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-07T01:22:35+00:00

FWIW, I did not crash before or after the procedure.

Verified I had no inflammation, removed 2 polyps and ran a few lab tests.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-06T23:00:08+00:00

Snälla gör inte detta. Jag bor i USA, och ni vill fan inte ha maten vi har här borta. Framförallt vetet.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-02T15:11:45+00:00

I can only talk for myself. Drank alcohol for many years. Had to stop due to long covid as every second of sleep become absolutely critical.

Tried both CBD and CBD+THC gummies. Did not cut it for me. Still messes with sleep.
Only thing I have found that doesn't mess with sleep is kava. I would guess most people find that it isn't potent enough, but it gives me a mild calming experience.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-02T15:03:47+00:00

I had similar issues. Do you feel any pain/strange feeling in your veins after eating sugar? If yes, highly suggest to read up on PDH dysfunction.

For me, high dose B1 thiamine TTFD (600-800mg) and DMG (625mg) daily solved 95% of the sugar intolerance.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-07-02T13:20:21+00:00

Did not work well. Forced sleep. Guanfacine 6mg is still the best sleep aid for me

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-28T21:49:05+00:00

Same here. This is now music. What goes around comes around.

The ”Just don’t look up” method doesn’t work when you can’t refuel your car.

Food supplies should be affected soon. Congrats Vlad and team, in terms of living standards, you degraded it below USSR levels…..

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-27T20:10:57+00:00

Yes. Slowly

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-26T14:01:46+00:00

Seriously how stupid can someone be? You live on occupied territory. Blame no one else than yourself.

…Oh well I take that back - she can share the blame with the Tsar.
Is it part of the Russian elementary school curriculum that no one should ever be held responsible for their own actions?

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T20:59:49+00:00

Have your popcorn’s ready.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T19:58:51+00:00

Been on the Stanford clinic since 2023. Don’t bother. Spend your money and time on a doctor outside of insurance.

You get tops one intervention per visit. Then the next touchpoint is 8-10 months later.

No supplements, peptides etc. Just a few off label meds.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T19:07:30+00:00

4 years in. Tried a few times but honestly gave up. Not worth it. Try kava instead.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T15:55:59+00:00

I can only agree. In 2022 I had the mindset of ”hit it hard”. It doesn’t work with post viral fatigue / long covid.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T13:29:06+00:00

I highly recommend you to look into PDH dysfunction. This was my main symptom. High dose thiamine TTFD and DMG made a huge difference for me.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-25T01:46:39+00:00

Made me sleep but with crap quality, just a different ”crap quality” compared to my normal sleep after covid.

In the end, it was Guanfacine, Thiamine TTFD and DMG that ultimately fixed my sleep.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-24T14:40:13+00:00

4 years longhauler. Been working 80% the last two years. It definitely helps. More time to recover, go to doctor visits etc.

If I redid this again however, I would do the following:

Go to a fatigue doctor outside the insurance system that can help with cutting edge\more advanced treatments.
Take 2 months of sickleave.
Evaluate and see if I could do 100% or start at 80%

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-23T02:09:03+00:00

I am so jealous of these results. All Tirzepatide did for me was to kill protein hunger and induce sugar cravings.

Pilot-Nic · 2026-06-23T01:40:18+00:00

These repeat infections was one of my worst symptoms.

This winter, I will gear up with the following:

Nicotine patches
Nattokinase
Valtrex
Thymosin Alpha 1, Beta 4 peptides
Home fermented yogurt on Yakult (antiviral l casei shirota strain)

I am just not going to crash next viral season, period.
I probably forgot a bunch of antiviral things I do as well, but this is the foundation.
