  • That's where I originally got the idea years back. I'm like "cavemen seemed to manage DIY brain surgery pretty well, can't be that hard"

    Then again, the ancient patients could have "survived" but suffer extensive brain damage, we don't really know.

  • Oh dont worry, this is all purely speculative.

    The pain is almost always centered right behind and above the eyeballs. Even when first waking up or not actively straining eyes, usually accompanied by barometric shift.

    It's not like ocular migraines because it doesn't give any visual flashing or anything like you'd associate with usually.

    It's likely my sleeping, switched to shkikifuton & tatami to try and counteract backpain from soft matresses, but my neck seems to suffer instead.

  • Do it. Dad used to have essentially a replica of Neil Pearts setup, while cool as he'll to look at, it's a pain in the ass to maintain and it annoys the shit out of anyone nearby.

    Once he made the switch 10 years ago to a Roland mesh E Kit, the entire houses demeanor relaxed. Plus it doesn't take up an entire room, and you can swap sounds on the fly.

    Real kits are nice for live or jamming out sometimes, but you'll get infinite more use out of the Ekit

  • Worked for a company that was entirely JWs, some of the most genuinely nice people I ever met, but knowing the whole process behind the scenes and how constrictive the lifestyle is, it was always off putting.

    I was never witnessed to other than just general inquiry to get to know me in passing by coworkers. But their doctrine basically states that if I'm not a JW, I'm a non-person. I don't know how many of them believe it, but still.

    They all have designated zones to do their "service" so if you refuse they'll still come back because they believe their ticket into heaven is to convince you what they say is true.

    If anyone else who reads this ever has problems with them coming to their door, best way to get them to take you off their list is say "I've already been excommunicated from another kingdom hall in (insert town from 2hr+ away)"

  • Side thought, all I can think of now is developing the technology to accelerate the rotation of some of these ITN "slingshot" planets to speeds where they become giant versions of those hotwheels motorized launcher tracks.

  • It's true that in the situation and country, this is equivalent to someone fleeing a traffic stop when they remember they have warrants. Authority figure gonna do what they're enlisted to do, because it's their perogative and their "duty" (and I mean duty in the sense of being bound to their personal theology)

    But yet, would either of those situations would cause said authority to use deadly force? Of course not.

    Iran is a back asswards country. The US is shit in its own ways as well, I won't refute, it's a mess. But Iran has to literally be babysat by larger economic powers around the clock to keep them from cooking up doomsday doodads.

    Getting this bent out of shape over women wanted to drive, get a proper education, vote, or fucking not wearing a piece of cloth, just furthers the sentiment that somewhere along the male Iranian genealogy some chromosomes got lost.

    (Side note, I don't reread these so I apologize if anything sounds purposefully directed at specific groups. I harbor no hate towards the Iranian peoples, all hate is meant to be interpreted to whatever zealots churn up all this religious hoo-hah)
