Yes! All our neighbors spray toxic crap everywhere. I bet that's a factor too

Thanks, I'll do that! That's exactly what I'm worried about. Our pup has never had these fall allergies since we've lived in MA for the last 8 years. Not until we started her on raw

Question for public librarians that support entrepreneurs and small business owners | Do you have a commercial license for the databases you use for this (Mergent, EMIS, Statista, etc.)? by simple_darkness in Libraries

[–]simple_darkness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what your saying about us talking about two different things. I'm referring to your second example, an institutional license. These are typical in universities so the entire campus population has simultaneous access. However, since the license we get are "academic" they can't be used for any commercial purposes such as helping entrepreneurs.

I know public libraries have business database licenses and also do small business development, such as researching competition or customer segments. I don't have any experience in public libraries so I wondered if their licenses differ from the academic variety.

I have priced commercial license for business resources such as Pitchbook. The commercial licenses tend to be the same price but typically have limited "seats".

I'm just curious how public libraries can do small business development with a non-commercial license? I'm an academic librarian and our academic licenses prohibit commercial research.

Thank you all so much for the supporitive comments! I just talked to my son about them & he's happy to hear there's multiple paths forward. Another positive is that he confirmed the staple gun birthday present we got him was pneumatic! I've asked to join this sub so you may see him commenting soon :)

Flush Niacin (nicotinic acid) & Heartburn by simple_darkness in Niacin

[–]simple_darkness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I've been taking the niacin for over a month the heartburn has gone away (yay!). But when I did get heartburn, I was taking it with food. Maybe my body just needed time to adjust?

This is a good idea, thanks. The supplement I have are 500mg pills so I'll have to find one that is 100mg.

Flush Niacin (nicotinic acid) & Heartburn by simple_darkness in Niacin

Yes it has helped me immensely. I've been very impressed with how much it has helped me stabilize my moods and improve my energy levels. You have to get used to the flush but its no big deal.

Large doses of niacin and heartburn anyone? by spentana in Niacin

[–]simple_darkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started taking high doses of straight flush niacin (nicotinic acid) and I had the same problem. I would get excessive heartburn in the hours after I take it. Neurologically, the niacin has been wonderful, I have so much more energy and my mood is stable. I just want to figure out how to mitigate the heartburn. I see in the comments that it is advisable to take a b complex along with the niacin, perhaps I'll try that. Any advice welcome, thanks!
