Doxylamine is actually better than diphenhydramine. It has less anticholinergic side effects.

Anticholinergics are really bad for your brain long term. I've started taking an herbal supplement called apigenin, which is derived from chamomile flowers that works surprisingly well. And I say that as a fellow night owl chronic insomniac.

Push and pull technique.

Push: bitter spray or cayenne pepper on plant leaves to discourage biting

Pull: cat grass and lots of cat toys. Seriously, buy more toys. Give them something else to focus on.

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.

Sometime in the past ten years, my doctors started being younger than I am, and I'm still conflicted about it.

I'm a nurse in my late 40s, and I still have to open conversations with my elderly patients "Mister Smith" "Mizz Smith" when I first meet them. I can't help myself; it's how I was raised haha

I disagree with both your facts and your assessment.

My understanding was this was the actual intended use case for NFTs. To allow you to properly own a digital item. The fact that it got applied to a stupid fad right out the gate doesn't change the fact that it should actually be used to allow us to own things again.

Especially MCU Tony in that prototype suit from Ironman 1. He'd have been pudding from that crash.

I like how Star Trek chose to at least Macguffin the physics with the "inertial dampening fields" in the ships. Because it's not the speed; it's the sudden stop that'll get ya.

No, they do not have different drug trials based on sex or gender. No, medication absolutely does not have different effects based on sex or gender. Hearts, lungs , kidneys, all work the same no matter what kind of reproductive organs you happen to possess.

We do not distinguish based on sex or gender when administering medications. We only account for body size and individual response/tolerance to a medication.

I'm in my late 40s, single, own a house independently, responsible for all my own expenses.

I've definitely gotten way less conservative as I age. I don't rage at paying taxes because I want my neighbors to have nice roads and schools and healthcare and food and food educations even if they're poor, even if they're immigrants. Because that's what Jesus world want me to do with my money: provide for my neighbor.

I'm a critical care nurse.

We do not dose based on gender. We dose based on height, weight, and individual response/tolerance of a medication. Nobody cares what's in your pants when we're giving you drugs. Definitely no one is taking your bone density into account. I literally just sent out the tiniest little old lady from our critical care unit yesterday on the highest dose of metoprolol I've ever seen in my life.

Stop lying. Trans rights are human rights. Gender affirming care is medical care. The medical community is clear on that point.
