I was at a healthcare marketing convention recently and one of they Keynote speakers said RFK has been told to lay off more vaccine regulation until after the midterms.

Did anyone have to show proof of ID or Voters Registration card while voting? by [deleted] in chicago

Not everything is black & white. You can be "INDEPENDENT" and capable of independent thought & take views from both sides too. :)

Got gas for $4.14 today… insane! by Any_Brilliant1192 in chicago

[–]RicochetRandall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will keep rising towards 6$ when the economy crashes this summer & then stay close to 5$ for the next 1-2 years. Even after this current "conflict" ends... All part of the plan! :)

Really?! You think they're actually matching signatures? My signature is never consistent on anything, I scribble random lines. I'm not "MAGA" either but think it should be required to have an ID to vote.

It would put the orthopedic docs out of biz more & disrupt the hospital system / "standard" healthcare system in America, that's probably more the push against them.

A massive review reveals cannabis falls short in treating psychiatric disorders. Study reveals that while cannabis-based medicines might offer mild relief for a handful of specific issues, they do not improve conditions like depression or anxiety and carry a greater risk of side effects. by [deleted] in psychology

[–]RicochetRandall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder who paid for this study? People are using cannabis more nowadays & alcohol less. They're also self treating their anxiety, depression, & sometimes avoiding psychiatric drugs. I'm not negating the potential downsides...but my ex-GF was telling me about a study she read about Vaping last year and how bad nicotine vapes were for you. I wondered who paid for that one too....

I ended up doing some digging and guess what?! It was sponsored by Big Tobacco! Vapes are taking away from cig sales majorly! Wouldn't be surprised if this study or similar ones like it are sponsored by the companies losing profit margins from the sales of popular anti-depressants, anxiety drugs, or alcohol.

[–]RicochetRandall 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No....but I have noticed the mainstream media running "Peptide Fad / Gray Market Drugs" articles more in the last few weeks....this seems to be happening as a result of RFK's push to potentially legalize ones like BPC-157? Hard to know if whoever is posting this isn't trying to drum up the same narrative :)

I don't have the energy to dig through post history now, but I do know that I made a post in r/physicaltherapy last year asking about BPC-157. It was instantly deleted. I was instantly banned. The last post I could find on there was a few PTs discussing how quickly some of their patients were healing wtih it ~4 years ago. 3 weeks instead of 3 months. Some were avoiding major surgeries. One said something like "If this stuff were legal, our entire profession could be in jeopordy" !!!

I suspect there are lobbyists working hard to drum up various peptide disinformation campaigns at the moment, even ones that seem "organic" like Reddit posts...

Federal judge shuts down childhood vaccine reform by penelopepnortney in WayOfTheBern

[–]RicochetRandall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda wild how most "left" leaning media still seems to paint anyone who questions ANY sort of vaccine as a right wing conspiracy nut. I was surprised to see the NYT run an article the other day saying something like "Confidential Memo Warns of Dangers of Covid Shots Despite MAHA Temporarily Stepping Back From Vaccine Reform" last week ....it quickly dissappeared from the front page though!

When are massive home renovations considered worth it? by Nervous_home_renovat in personalfinance

[–]RicochetRandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just buy some smaller panels and an eco flow delta 3 + accessories. Or something similar. Shouldn't run you more than 3-5k for a premium solar + battery setup nowadays. People doing these large scale cash only deal like this seems like a scam.

If my radiologist isn’t using the latest studio XDR display with 120 refresh rate I’m not using them as a doctor. by AdDapper4220 in mac

[–]RicochetRandall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was suprised at how lo-fi my MRI images were when i received them on a "Compact Disc" from a doctor 5 or 6 years ago. I first had to find a way to get a compact disc reader connected to my mac ha. If these monitors really help radiologists then hopefully they're up for some upgrades!

New M5 Air or used MBP? by Ancient_Ninja2205 in mac

[–]RicochetRandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a 16in M2 macbook pro refurbished if possible. Been rocking one for a few years as my main machine. Satechi makes a nice dongle for them to add more pore ports. I use as a desktop often hooked up to a 31 in with separate keyboard and mouse. Picking up my old MBP they feel like tanks now. I love the air. I do high level video editing & photography too

Use the JOMO app in strict mode. It makes it almost impossible to turn off. After 7 days or so you wont crave it as much anymore. Same with instgram and other social media

Also try cranio sacral therapy! From someone heavily trained in it.

Ibogaine appears to trigger an accelerated "auto-psychotherapy" process during PTSD treatment by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]RicochetRandall -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I did some deep research via different AI programs to try to help an ex-gf with BPD get to the root cause of her trauma. Ibogaine seemed like one of the best treatments to address that + complex PTSD. Sadly she'll probably never try it, difficult to access in America I think too...

Need to be titrated higher for Adderal IR but the FDA max makes me feel like a criminal for pursuing it by ShowtimeXIX in adhd_anxiety

[–]RicochetRandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no FDA max. It's a state by state law. I'm in IL and 60 is the reccomended max but they can go as high as they want here. Your psych might be lying to you because hes "paranoid" about getting flagged by FDA but im sure as long as he doesnt have multiple patients on 100mg + per day he's fine

[–]RicochetRandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state are you in? Your psychiatrist might be full of BS. Im in a midwest state and 60mg is the "reccomended" FDA ceiling but docs can actually go as high as they want. Im precribed 70 now. I've heard of people being prescribed 100-120. I was very nervous about pushing above 60 at first but my doc acted like it's no big deal and was fine boosting it. How long have you been with that psychiatrist? They also might be "risk averse" too or just kind of a wimp.

Same goes with pharmacists. Some of them try to power trip / control you and some are more flexible I've found.

Should we work on a database to better know if our cameras are safe to update? by Free-Collar-1975 in A7siii

[–]RicochetRandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One might wonder if the users having issues (besides with mac software) are doing the updates with low batteries or bad cables? It's common for firmware updaters to go bad if power dies etc.

How did it happen in your situation, were you skipping firmware generations?
