You are making an assumption based on standard economic theory. Assuming a well regulated free and fair market. The world is neither, and not buying shit’s ability to lower prices is limited. They can just stop production, or limit sales, warehouse things for a time etc…

Lots of issues with elasticity of prices and not enough time is spent looking at how economic theory doesn’t work.

It’s why everything keeps getting so expensive, INCLUDING our necesities, and they won’t get cheaper until people stop buying.

How does one stop buying necessities?

Taper and get help with a doc sure, but tampering with meds isn’t risk free. Depends on the taper and the drugs. For example, delayed release functions are physical and stop working when the pill is crushed. With the above guidance, you could accidentally end up with too much in the morning and too little in the evening.

Also each med has a specific pharmacokinets profile that identifies how long the drug lasts before your body can eliminate it. This will guide you on how long a taper might need to be.

Do it with a doctor’s help. If doctors aren’t available, ask a pharmacist for guidance on next steps.

Many police services have a serial number lookup. Some people also post what was stolen so a quick search helps too.

Ask the people in your life what’s wrong with you.

When people overhype stuff, I know watching it with high expectations will ruin it for me. I prefer for the hype to go away, me to forget everything and go in with a clean mental slate and no expectations. I enjoy what I’m watching much more.

Folks overhyped films before and I didn’t enjoy it. I waited 10 years to watch Titanic and was pleasantly surprised. Weird? Sure, but it works for me.

…or a Cobalt Bomb

Designed to leave highly radioactive fallout for years and years. The radioactive fallout is far more dangerous to life than the original nuke because of its spread, toxicity and persistence.

It’s ok. Just remember it’s a small population. Once you get used to the basics and block the few bad faith posters and subs you don’t like, it’s a solid experience. With any luck the userbase will grow.

This is a rant. Not a question. Tucking a question within a sprawling rant is bad faith. You are answering your own question, and could have just omitted the post.

Wrong sub. No question.

Do what the doctors recommend. Don’t self medicate.

The theory being that kiwi’s have serotonin and tart cherry juice has melatonin that help you sleep.

The serotonin in your kiwi gets mostly destroyed in you stomach acid. Any remaining amounts that do get absorbed into your bloodstream will never make it to your brain to do anything because of the blood-brain barrier. Only specific compounds can cross this. Your brain can only use serotonin that it synthesizes. Most of it sticks in your gut helping to regulate bowel movements.

It might be the antioxidants lowering inflammation, a hit of vitamin c or some sugar leaving you satisfied or placebo that helps.

Not age. Something is going on. Could be depression. Could be an infection. Could be a lot of things.

Yes rebates on heat pumps, especially inexpensive air to air heat pumps drive adoption. They are efficient and now work in almost any climate.

I am a dumbass.

Start by identifying the fly. Habitats very by species.

Could be something died in your chimney, could be drain flies, could be vents. Could be doors or crawlspaces. Doesn’t take much.

You can build essentially fireproof houses using non-combustible materials. (Concrete, rockwool, steel framing, aluminum window frames, metal roofing etc…) and you can further protect by keeping the area around the home free of fuel.

If the fire gets close enough, the windows may break from heat, you still have smoke to deal with, and even a fireproof home can still slowly become an oven. Indoor temperatures can easily become unsurvivable.

Evacuation is always prescribed, followed by non-combustible construction coupled with strict control of fuel.

The President, the Senate, the Supreme “Court” and a large contingent of their wealthy and elite went apeshit.

No one will trust the US for at least a lifetime, if they can get their act together before completely self immolating.
