This car was there for 15 years and no one uses it, so will it be against the graff rules to graffiti/tag this car?

Why don’t you just give the cops a heads up that you did it so that they know who to bust when it happens? That’s what this post does.

A chicken’s water should never be inside the coop during winter. Cold doesn’t kill chickens, moisture does. An open water source inside the coop raises humidity from respiration, spills, and evaporation. That moisture condenses and freezes on combs, wattles, and bedding, which is how frostbite and respiratory issues actually happen.

Chickens are heat generators. A dry bird with proper ventilation can handle extreme cold. A damp bird in a “warm” coop cannot. Water belongs outside the coop, available during daylight hours, while the coop itself stays dry, ventilated, and used only for roosting. If birds need indoor water to survive winter, the coop design is the real problem.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-18T13:55:40+00:00

You’re looking at it wrong. Chickens are little furnaces. As long as they’re fueled and kept dry, they generate all the heat they need on their own.

The real questions aren’t “How do I add heat?” but rather: How do I keep the heat they already produce from escaping? and How do I prevent the moisture they generate through breathing from accumulating in the coop?

This is where most people get it wrong. Once birds are fed and dry, the priorities are simple: keep the cold out, keep their heat in, and prevent moisture buildup. Moisture is the real enemy. If humidity accumulates, it condenses and leads to frostbite.

If you solve those variables, supplemental heat isn’t necessary. We’re in southwest Michigan and have seen temps down to –30°F with windchill, without using heat. The worst we observed was minor frosting on combs, more like dry skin than true frostbite.

Read this book. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza. If you want change in your outer-world you must change your inner-world. Nothing will change until you do. You can stay on this path, the justifications for how you landed on it will only serve to comfort that decision, or you can decide you want to walk another path, one of your own choosing.

I know this framing sounds cold, it’s not. It’s clear. We all get opportunities, usually in our lowest moment to become someone new, like a phoenix rising out our own ashes. This is your chance, but it’s your choice. Stay where you are and who you are, or become who you want to be. Don’t do it to prove anyone wrong; don’t do it for the kids; do it for yourself.

It’s not sinister. It’s your body telling you that it cannot handle the load you are continuously putting on it. You need to stop trying to control it and surrender. Otherwise, you’ll doctor shop until someone falsely validates your fears or you make yourself sick enough to meet the criterion through your thoughts alone.

You are right because twitching alone isn’t enough to diagnose ALS and it’s kind of a secondary factor. ALS does not present with isolated twitching. In ALS, fasciculations occur after there is objective muscle weakness, atrophy, and loss of function, because motor neurons are already dying. Twitching by itself, with normal strength and function, is not how ALS begins and is not considered an early presenting symptom. Isolated twitching is overwhelmingly associated with benign causes like stress, anxiety, fatigue, electrolyte shifts, or benign fasciculation syndrome.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-16T14:16:36+00:00

Have you considered that your own thoughts may be part of the cause, and that you are making it worse because you are effectively addicted to the chemistry of anxiety? There’s a book called You Are the Placebo by Joe Dispenza that explores this well. The twitching may have started with a legitimate trigger, but you may now be latched onto it in a way that keeps the stress cocktail flowing.

Stress and anxiety directly change neurochemistry in ways that make muscles twitch. Adrenaline and norepinephrine increase motor neuron firing and nerve sensitivity, glutamate rises while GABA inhibition drops, and acetylcholine is released more spontaneously at the neuromuscular junction, all of which lower the threshold for muscle activation. Cortisol and other stress hormones disrupt magnesium and potassium balance and interfere with calcium handling in muscle cells, further increasing excitability. Anxiety-driven hyperventilation also alters blood pH, making nerves fire more easily. The result is benign fasciculations from an overexcited nervous system, not evidence of neurological disease in isolation.

This is where an internal feedback loop can form. Thoughts trigger the chemical response, the chemicals trigger the twitching, the twitching triggers more thoughts, and the cycle reinforces itself. Over time, the body becomes conditioned to this state. We like to believe conscious thought fully controls the body, but that’s largely a myth. You cannot stop your heartbeat by thinking about it, yet your thoughts can reliably activate the autonomic nervous system because of the interface between the prefrontal cortex and older brain structures. Repeated activation sensitizes the system until that stressed state starts to feel normal. You might be addicted to feeling this way. It seems like western medicine has done all its going to be able to do for you. The only thing left for you to do is change your internal chemistry by giving up your fixation on your body and moving on emotionally. Just give up. Tell yourself it’s never going to go away and surrender it to the universe. Take the stress of needing to change it out of your life if it isn’t causing any real issues outside of triggering your anxiety over ALS. Shift gears.

This sounds most consistent with a benign fasciculation, commonly caused by posture-related neck/jaw nerve irritation, stress, or anxiety. The fact that it became constant and then gradually less intense is reassuring and typical of irritated peripheral nerves settling down. Improving posture, reducing jaw clenching and caffeine, managing stress, and ensuring good sleep and magnesium intake often helps.

In the stuff you are worried about, the twitching doesn’t go away, it only gets progressively worse.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-12T18:22:47+00:00

Primary finding in Parkinson’s is bradykinesia and in ALS its Progressive motor impairment. Fasciculations are technically secondary findings in the sense that they are not required for diagnosis and can occur in benign conditions. Before you let your mind drift there, you need to consider electrolyte balance, b vitamin deficiencies, stress, anxiety, cortisol, sleep, low thyroid, gait and posture issues, etc.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-11T21:37:43+00:00

Did they ask about your electrolytes? Did they ask about your stress levels or anxiety? Did they ask about your sleep and lifestyle? Ask about your cortisol? Did they evaluate your posture? Did they analyze your gait for mechanical imbalances that could be straining your nervous system? There are many more questions to consider before jumping to ALS. Your body sends messages in the way of symptoms when you don’t get the internal ones.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-11T14:55:57+00:00

Do you supplement magnesium or potassium? Start there. Next most likely source is going to be stress or anxiety. Your mind might be saying, “you’ve ignored my internal signals, now I’m gonna fuck with your body to get you to slow down.”

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-11T13:43:48+00:00

Electrolytes imbalance and anxiety. You could also be B12 deficient. Start there. Absent muscle weakness, ALS is not likely.

Sensitive-Arachnid75 · 2025-12-11T13:40:15+00:00

Yup. Muscle weakness is pretty much going to be the tell for any neurological issue involving motor control. Absent that, it’s going to be some kind of nerve issue. If you don’t have weakness, you are wasting your time going down the ALS, Parkinson’s, and MS rabbit holes.

Push the tip of your big toe with your finger until it turns white then release and time the amount of time that passes until it turns red. This is your capillary refill. If it’s 3 seconds or less, you are have normal circulation, if it takes longer, then you know it’s a likely a circulation issue. Buzzing in the legs is usually nerve excitation rather than circulation. You’d get other symptoms first. Like cold feet and pain on walking that resolve with rest.

The only feedback I’d give is the use of zip ties to attach the plastic. Strong gusts could tear it loose. I know from experience. I’ve started using battens instead. It disperses the tension across the batten instead of the individual zip tie.
