  • Tolerance is part of the equation, but breathing and circulation play a huge role too

    If a nasal spray is administered but the person isn't breathing it will still be absorbed, but if oxygen levels are low af it's going to take more time, therefore you keep pumping the narcan until you're sure. When I'm standing over an OD'ing street kid, I'm taking NO chances.

    Same thing with intramuscular injections. Yes the drug is in the body but circulation helps a lot and if the heart has slowed or stopped... well. You keep pumping shots of narcan until they die or come back.

    Final most important is that the user or person attending may believe the user took fent, but they probably had a dangerous street concoction consisting of fent + any other number of who-knows-what. Often referred to as "down". There's absolutely no way to know if they need more narcan because of tolerance or something else

    edit: At the end of it all, there is no way after the fact to determine what the "correct" amount of narcan was for that situation. It is highly situational and depends on many factors. The rule is if you're not sure, more narcan, because this ain't the time to guess wrong.

  • Don't forget that the valuable peanut oil is separated hydraulically which fractures the peanut meal, and then they add back cheaper soybean oil.

    (Side note: That's why it separates, and that's why even organic peanut butter separates, it's because it's been hydraulically fractured)

    In my opinion, the only peanut butter that is worth a damn is fresh crushed from unsalted roasted peanuts.

  • I agree and that's still poison.

    The idea that when something growling outside the cave has everybody shaking inside, it's the guy's job to get a pointed stick and go outside, knees knocking, heart pounding.

    This is not compatible with modern life. Especially if the person scrounging around outside is a meth-addled woman, and I happen to go out in uppercut her.

  • Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.

    That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.

  • Boost died today. I'm done with Reddit forever.

    When the API fiasco went down, I backed away from all the communities I created over a decade ago and just walked away from modding.

    Now I go to not participating.

    I hate Reddit, and I have fun memories at the same time. I was like the 50th sign up, I even emailed spez his own source code because he had his web server badly configured to report verbose errors.

    Oh well.
