  • Pff, hold our beer. We have just under four years to show how monumentally ignorant, apathetic and subservient we can become. After that, who knows? My crystal ball just shows brand-sponsered schools and overflowing private prisons.

    If nobody did anything meaningful over the past eight years about this, I don’t think there really is a limit. When the education system takes a nose-dive and what is available is neo-Christian/capitalist indoctrination, it’s only going to get worse. I’d sure like to think the opposing party had the grapes to stop this nonsense dead in it’s tracks, but again - eight years and I guess we are just cool with it all. I want to love my country, but JFC, it is sure hell-bent on ghost-riding it into a christo-fascist idiocracy.


  • Get referred to a gastrointerologist asap. There are a variety of things it could be, and few of those are anything you can get away with ignoring.

    If it’s bright red, could be a ruptured blood vessel from straining to defecate to chrohns disease or ulcerative colitis. The later nearly killed me. Dark red to coffee ground consistency can be stomach ulcers. These can be a one off thing or chrilonic and lead to anemia, malnutrition, cancer etc…

    Mind, I’m not a doctor, but I had dealt with serious symptoms of UC for over a decade and would be dead by now had I not gotten surgery. Got pretty familiar with digestive tract issues. Don’t take it lightly





  • It’s pretty tasty, to me at least. But I like mushrooms so YMMV. That said, it’s not overly earthy or eating a bag of shrooms. If you ever, as a kid, saw a tin that said Hersheys on it in the cupboard and grabbed a spoon; well, it’s like that, but a little better. The cocoa in it is what gives you the caffeine bump IIRC. Assuming the ingredients are legit, then there is good stuff in it, but I think this is really geared toward another group of people than anyone trying to curb coffee. If it was cheaper, I’d drink it every day.

    To answer the question, sorta, you could grind a batch of lions mane and chaga and have at it. This has other stuff in it to for palatability, but like you said, you could make your own variety if you want. Again, assuming the ingredients are accurate, it would be good for you, as long as you can manage to choke it down.





  • Pull the drawer completely out so it is free from the cabinet and empty it. Cut/pull the exposed staples. Clean it up. Dry fit it so it goes back together well and seats as flush as it used to. Titebond wood glue all connecting surfaces, both sides. Fit the drawer front back on the drawer body and set it either front face down on a table with a book or three on the top, or drawer back side down with books/weight on the top/drawer face. Let glue cure for 24 hours. That should honestly be enough unless it gets a lot of abuse. If that’s the case, some wood corner/shoe moulding glued into the inside left and right corners afterward should keep it intact. Wood glue is strong AF. Stronger than the wood that drawer is made from.






  • Medication is nothing more than a standard inhaler (~$25-35). You will need to get a special hand-held chambered device called an aerokat (~$40) that you press to your cat’s face and spray the inhaler into so they actually receive the dosed amount. Dosage will be once every 12 or 24 hours, whatever is just enough to prevent the attacks. Works a treat. Oddly enough, the cat won’t mind sticking an inhaler device over his face for a handful of seconds as long as you pet him at the same time.

    Oh, and if you record the event happening, it makes diagnosis a lot quicker. It’s pretty unmistakable.

    Sorry I can’t help with the diagnosis cost. Those can vary so wildly where I live. That and I totally forgot how much that was
