One time I was in a hurry and put my keys in the wrong pocket. Put my hand in right pocket, keys not there, panicked! Haha

Anyway, your story is definitely a cautionary tale and thanks for sharing it.

johnnyreilly.github.io/reillys-on-t... Somewhat similar journey described by another person on BlueSky - except opioids didn’t even work for him! Very very scary. I’m really happy the surgery worked for you.

Sorry, I came across this thread very late. Is the sweating basically a version of hyperhidrosis? Would some hyperhidrosis treatments work to help you as well?

Very cool. Though it took me down a rabbit hole of automatic vs. quartz and their relative merits/problems and collector appeal. :-)

I’m glad you are feeling at least somewhat better. And it’s great you had that network of support - so important.

Last Year, by Robert Charles Wilson. What 19th century people would think of 21st century technology (in novel form). Also, there’s Mur Lafferty’s classic The Shambling Guide to New York City (woman has to write tourist guides for paranormal visitors). :-)

It’s an interesting problem. I read that they tend to be big Republican donors, so they have a lot of politicians and Chambers of Commerce protecting them.

This seems very well written, though the part I’m a bit stuck on her kidnapping. She was trying to leave without waking the house and this is why no flashlight? He just happened to be there to kidnap her?

What??? I thought they had a Code back then???!!!

That was a rollercoaster! “OK very sketchy…wait, Ozempic is one? …FDA put the others in indefinite limbo with no real plan?…oh, but I hate RFK Jr’s craziness…and this will contribute to inequality if it continues!” Thanks. ;-)

Libertarians who think vice is not just a side effect of freedom but should be actively promoted to “own the libs.”

Good analysis. www.infinitescroll.us/p/marc-andre...

Did you see the New York Post’s front cover of Mamdani? :)

I don’t know if this trend has hit your neighborhood, but some households are asking kids to choose between candy and a potato. There’s a middle-school craze to find households giving out potatoes. 😂😂
