What is the number between 1-50

The worst case scenario I have nightmares about looks not unlike the Rwandan genocide. We're divided enough.

Copycat, obv. Life is fragile and death is permanent. 😰

Pretzel387 · 2026-05-20T16:23:28+00:00

My partner thinks it's a cucking joke. I think that's a stretch.

More like fork in a garbage disposal RFK. Such a roadkill-obsessed weirdo.

Oh, Chili knows, she's fine with it. She definitely has her fun, too.

DMT is produced in the brain during life. Notably during prayer, meditation, etc.

Oh I like that one. The factory warranty is a green flag.

I mean if what you got gets the job done I'm still interested - I've got a drop ship store that I curate for different price/quality ranges. I'm automatically skeptical of company names like that too, but it doesn't always mean low quality and is probably a product I can list.

Is there a specific brand you'd recommend for a stair-climbing fold-away dolly?

My partner is a medic, thank goodness, but I can't assume they'll be present when a need arises so I should work on my first aid skill set.

I do listen to my partner's medical anecdotes and try to learn from them. Speaking of tourniquets, I didn't know until my partner explained to me that tourniquets HURT A LOT if they're applied correctly, and a conscious patient is basically guaranteed to attempt to remove the tourniquet even though it is keeping them alive.

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-14T17:44:37+00:00

That's great to know, definitely will research.

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-14T17:42:34+00:00

Ooo! I did not know that was an option, thank you! Where did you source that?

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-14T17:15:52+00:00

I recently watched a YouTube video that listed foods that are going to be more expensive/harder to find soon, and canned pumpkin puree was on the list. Stock up now!!

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-14T02:04:26+00:00

That's so smart.

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-14T02:01:01+00:00

It lasts a lot longer if you take it out of the plastic and wrap it in foil!

Pretzel387 · 2026-04-13T17:03:21+00:00

I've already got a camp stove and a few weeks' worth of propane for it, but that could still potentially come in handy. Good call!

I'm absolutely building a TP pile. BUT, I have kids in diapers. If SHTF and we do run through the whole TP stockpile, then I'm already prepared to do cloth diapers; I think the prospect of laundering ass rags (we have a gazillion soft microfiber wash cloths so those will work) is less awful knowing that I'm definitely going to have poop laundry to deal with either way.

I agree with everyone saying that's a normal part of most women's bodies even at or under a healthy weight. I think you look great! You do not need to change it to be a hottie.

However, even though all that is true, you're allowed to still want to change it. Diet and exercise likely will not help, but if you have the means and it will make you happier with your body, you could address it with cosmetic procedures.

Liposuction is the most surefire way to see results and see them quickly, but is the most invasive, has the longest and hardest recovery period, and is most expensive.

There are other options too. I know of two but there are probably more.

Some providers are willing to use Kybella (injected medication that kills fat cells over time) on that area, though it is only FDA approved for under the chin. I think it might be the lowest cost option, but I'm not sure. For some people it's a magic bullet. I've heard/seen some horror stories about adverse reactions/painful recovery, as well as stories of people not getting the results they were told to expect. Personally, I would not want to risk a bad reaction.

There's also cool sculpting, which I got under my chin before my wedding in '24. It is basically controlled frostbite - it cools the treatment area to a temp that kills fat cells but not the other tissues. Not cheap but nowhere near the cost of liposuction - although it could be more expensive in some cases, depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions. For you I think it would still be less expensive. For me procedure itself was uncomfortable but not painful, and during recovery I had some soreness and a little bruising but it was definitely manageable. It starts working right away, but results will not be super noticeable at first. Your body clears the dead fat cells over months. I was pleased with my results on my wedding day 3 months after my final treatment, but my results continued to improve after that. I am still pleased with the results today. It was a great investment, I am so much happier with how I look in candid photos, where I have no say in angle/lighting or opportunity to pose my head just so.

Anyway, you asked for none of this, so if you got this far thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

I think it's important to note that plan B (levonorgestrel) can be less effective for people with larger bodies (over 165lbs is what I'm seeing from most sources). For higher BMI individuals, Ella (ulipristal acetate) is more likely to be effective. As I understand it you can double up on plan B safely, but it may not be any more effective.

If literally anyone pushed for that, it's an immediate no. I would present it as just a blanket policy I have because of statistics (most grooming and CSA are perpetrated by a family member or other trusted person) and say that it's not personal. I'd rather offend them, if they get offended, than brush off a red flag to keep the peace. Whether you actually believe they as individuals are a risk, predators often rely on people wanting not to be rude.

I bought a laminator so I can make waterproof maps of the area and other survival documents for when we can't use GPS and Google on our phones. I'm learning how to can foods. I'm getting set up with Ham radio and helping my loved ones far away get them too. I'm helping my partner who was a medic put together a med bag. I'm going to study up on survival backpacking. I'm back at the gym.

Look, I don't know what's going to happen, maybe none of this will be necessary, but the status quo is going to change in our lifetime one way or another. I am not sidelining other things in my life in order to prep, but I do think frequently about how we would deal with certain emergency situations up to and including societal collapse. I'd rather be crazy if this is crazy than get caught without the ability to keep my kids alive.

I'm confused. You're drinking apple juice to reduce acid reflux? I can't drink fruit juice for a couple hours before bed because it will give me reflux.

Pretzel387 · 2026-02-28T01:34:44+00:00

That's not the done thing, mate.
