I have lived in a cold climate area my whole life and have severe reynauds syndrome. It can be 100F and the second I touch an ice cube all of my fingers turn deathly pale. Nearly 100% of the time, no matter the temperature, I will have an extremity that has no blood flow. It is severe enough that it is physically debilitating. I can’t play in the snow with my kids for very long, or play guitar without running my hands under a hot tap. Right now I have a cheap box fan running on low, 10’ away, and four of my fingers have cut circulation. Because there is no blood in my fingers or toes, touching anything freezing cold feels like they are being stabbed. I’m also very prone to frostbite and have worried about losing my toes a few times due to it. I actually have little feeling in them and have lobbed of parts of my fingers off which can’t even slightly compare to the pain of grabbing a cold steering wheel. When I wash my hands the water has to be scalding hot and have accidentally caused others to scald themselves by forgetting to tell them.

My body though? Can’t handle anything above 75f. I’m comfortable in just boxers in 50F. I overheat in long sleeves so easily that I own 1 longsleeve shirt. I had to get the HVAC tech at my work to change the air exchangers so that my work area was 60F so I didnt sweat through my PPE.

Plus, mine is a lifelong curse unlike your wimpy little leukemia. I kid. I just wanted to complain a bit. Glad you beat the big C. I hope to never have that battle and hope it was your last.

Is life

Our dads probably know each other.

It’s really good. Haven’t have a flavor from them that isn’t really good.

I’ll listen to the podcast because I’m sure there’s info in it that will be new to me, but I do know drug scheduling creates a purgatory that makes substances difficult to research. When the scheduling means that it can’t be produced in amounts to create meaningful clinical studies, the “drugs with no currently accepted medical use” definition is difficult to get out of.

To add on to that, if John Hopkins research labs, the same one that came up with CPR, water purification, and genetic engineering, thinks psilocybin has medical use and merit, I believe them.

Basically every time a psilocybin study is conducted for use in mental health applications it’s found to be beneficial. It’s just that the DEA doesn’t give a fuck and refuse to change the schedule of the drug even with countless studies showing it’s effectiveness, as well as countless doctors, researchers, and institutes recommending they reduce psilocybin to schedule III.

Also, we all know what they were doing with that thumbnail.

What really pisses me off was not just that is was lazily written, but that D and DB knowingly ran it into the ground. They had a Q&A where they admitted it.

I know that it might not be popular for the sorts of people who are into this kind of thing, but murderers and rapists are not my favorite people.
