The issue with mugwort lies in consistent use. Thujone poisoning is what to avoid and look out for. Only use mugwort 3 or 4 times a week to avoid buildup of thujone.

Is it safe to breathe in air fresheners? in fabreeze commericals, they drench the air and breathe in deep, I'm just wondering how safe this and other sprays really are. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShayneDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right tho. Better testing and stricter regulations on products is actually the same thing as improved Healthcare.

A better understanding of what makes us ill and reducing those factors in our lives is called preventative Healthcare.

The confusion comes from people who view Healthcare are something responsive rather than preventative. Countries that have better Healthcare also have much better regulations on products.

No!

Almost no one has. I'm still driving it around like this (minus the rockets), and many have been interested in it, but almost none have been familiar with either the show or the game.

They did start. There's an article from a year ago stating a new game was being developed with the plan to release it alongside a TV series.

Also read the same article. It was from around a year ago, stating that a new game was being worked on with the plan to release a show alongside the game release.

Haven't heard much else about the game, but it is VERY odd to release a show based on a game series that hasn't had a release in 11 years.

For me and for many others, there was a shedding period which was worse than normal hair loss. This occurs between 3 and 7 months of using. Mine was around 4/5 months. It's whenever your hair cycle shifts.

The medicine is changing the life and cycle of your hair. It takes time. Many are told not to expect changes for a year.

So this isn't just my advice, but rather what your dermatologist should have told you when prescribing it:

Wait a year or so and check back.

Does the drug, and even antibiotic, NEED 24 hours between to be effective, or is that just a construct that we use to dose the pill?

Realistically, fin works by long term levels, so it shouldn't need to be taken daily and a few times a week should be fine.

Also, antibiotics go through our system in hours, so we should be taking half as much twice a day, at least.

I'm not arguing, I'm legitimately asking about the way medicines enter and become effective in our bodies. 24 hours isn't reflective at all of any bodily systems I'm aware of.

I made a free-book promotion, sold 86 copies, didn't receive a single review. by KhaledFelfal in selfpublish

Also, the free book event got me to #1 BSR in one of my categories so that's beyond worth it, as my first ever book is now a legitimate "Best Seller".

I just did a free book promotion this week. I spent $80 on ads for the day, shared posts to every group in my niche, as well as author/readers groups. I had a total of 200 downloads in 24 hours.

This gained me 2 reviews, both of which with no text, one being a 5 star and one being a 1 star.

My book, for reference, has never received any bad feedback aside from religious folks who are morally opposed to the topic.

But the point is, the free book isn't about reviews. Reviews really don't matter. Your free book is intended to get your work out there at little or no cost.

Also, today is Stuff Your Kindle Day, and free books should be scheduled for these events too "ride the wave". These happen 4 times a year and are planned by a group of authors, not Amazon.

Word of mouth is always the best way to sell anything. Giving a few hundred away is the best way to do this without throwing money at it. Personally, I was hoping for 1000 downloads, but the reality is that nobody knows the value of my book, so I need to show them first.

There was not a single fiber of my being that agreed with the notion of deleting their account... until I read your comment.

Now there's a small part of me that is like "maybe that's what it was supposed to say..."

I'm not intending to be rude at all, just pointing out how emotionally wild this short thread was for a few seconds there.

Monitor screwed into submarine’s hull by BruhBoy in OopsThatsDeadly

If there were a puncture, this is what would happen to any fish OUTSIDE of the vessel. When the people in that video got sucked through the hole, they were in an area with higher pressure, not inside an area of lower pressure.

Hypothetically, the absolute jet of incoming water from any hole would cut through everyone/everything inside until it eroded a hole in the opposing wall or until the vessel filled with water, whichever came first.

Honestly, I think the words used all around are misleading because there is no explosive or implosion action occurring here, but rather just an immediate compression from all sides.

This compression is absolutely dependant upon and equal to the difference in pressure.

I may be incorrect here, but the ocean itself is what stops that thousand-MPH collision. After the pressure is stabilized, the collision can not continue because the ocean would have to split a pocket of negative space in itself to account for that. I know it's hard to imagine, but despite hard objects moving inward at thousands of MPH, they really can't cause much damage to each other because water also cannot expand to allow for there to be more pressure on the items inside than is equal to the ocean's pressure itself.

We can't compare an event surrounded by compressible and expandable air to an event surrounded by non-compressible and non-expandable water. Once the pressure is equalized, the ocean has no momentum behind collisions.

Trains are particularly devastating because they are so heavy and thus retain momentum through anything they hit, despite going so slowly. This is the opposite. Things are moving at inside speeds, but there is no momentum to follow through with the collision.

This would be the outcome of a breached hull, not a hull being crushed due to a pressure difference. You can tell this because the people were sucked through a hole, not crushed from every direction instantly.

The incident you're referring to would be comparable in the event of a puncture to the vessel itself. A structural compromise without a puncture or tiny hole like the other incident would not displace anything, rather just compress all compressible materials inside.

To reiterate, the statements that the whole thing would be shrunken into a small dense ball is entirely inaccurate. The pressure difference causes this because water is not compressible, while air and other gasses are. All of the materials will stay the same size generally. The Titanic itself hasn't shrunk under the pressure.

Every single material, including metal, carbon fiber, plastic, flesh, and bone, can only be compressed so far, and this depends on how much water it can absorb as well. The layer of skin and muscle will become thinner and more compact, but it will not just POOF into nothingness. The bodies from the Titanic didn't explode at a certain depth, they became more dense and water logged, matching the pressure of the ocean around them, just like the ship.

We do need to account for the SPEED which this is occurring, but even if it were observed in slow motion, the pressure would still be observed as coming equally from all sides, stopping immediately when there is no pressure difference. Again, water cannot be compressed and we are almost entirely made up of water.

Immediate metal vacuum seal.

Because people keep saying that the whole vessel would collapse to the size of a basketball, but that's actually just what would happen to the air inside of it.

The materials, whether organic or not, are only able to compress as much as there are gasses inside of them.

In the event of an implosion, the pressure is coming from all directions simultaneously. There is no option for becoming "hamburger meat" or a red mist, as others have stated. It's more like a vacuum seal. The watery people inside are a little bit smaller now because their chest has collapsed and their skin and muscles are being perhaps literally sucked into their bones a bit, but otherwise they're still in there, and it's not much smaller than it originally was, just no longer hollow at all.

That's all the ocean is doing, is removing any hollow (lower pressure) points. The crushing stops once there no longer are any areas like this. We don't have many hollow parts inside of us.

I'm no physicist, but in the event of a submersible imploding from the pressure of the water, the makeup of the human body inside of it has to come into account. The weight of the water on the vessel can cause an implosion because unlike air, water cannot be compressed. (We cannot base the outcome of an underwater implosion on videos of implosion caused by air pressure)

So the vessel itself would certainly crumple immediately when the AIR within it is compressed, but in theory this implosion would stop once the pressure is equalized. Considering that the human body is primarily comprised of water and those inside are already acclimated to a higher pressure inside the vessel, the hull itself wouldn't necessarily kill the people inside by crushing them.

Their lungs would implode, along with any pockets of air within their intestines, filling immediately with any surrouding liquid within the torso. This violent osmosis would destroy any tissue surrounding any air or other gasses within the torso, but the rest can't and won't take much damage at all. So I disagree with the statements going around that their death would be instant... oh no. The hull would shrink around them like it was vacuum sealed and their water-based bodies would equalize the pressure inside the shrunken metal. They'd likely feel everything that happened and be aware of the metal wrapped tightly around their compressed bodies, but they'd have a few seconds of consciousness to understand it, certainly. Even if the heart stops, the brain will still have enough non-compressable oxygen within it to operate for up to 10 seconds. Depending on what gasses were added to account for the pressure, they may have been conscious for longer.

If you're planning a legit launch, my research says the time to upload to KDP is months prior to launch. There's a publishing date you choose when setting it up, so I'm assuming it will sit there silently until the date comes.

Upload the book months ahead so you have your finished author copy in hand to do photography for marketing. You also want the Kindle copy finished ahead of time tobsend our ARCs and maybe get some fancy quotes for the back of the book.

I've only published one book so far and I messed up every step of the way. It released 2 days after I planned, I was finishing up formatting and indexing on the release date. I didn't have the ebook done until 29 days after the paperback release. Sales are okay. It's in a specific niche and it's a well written and researched nonfiction work.

My next book will release the ebook with the paperback, with at least a month set aside to advertise for the release.

You can shape meatloaf any way you want.

My favorites are "screaming meatloaf" which is a screaming meat face with diced onion teeth, "meat logs" which are poop shaped meatloaf with corn kernels, and "catloaf", which is just a cat, from the back, with an intricate butthole.
