At one job, they'd give us annual fire-fighting training including using 2" hoses and fire extinguishers. A decade later at a different job, they thought they'd hold two contests for employees to try to extinguish a simulated fire with a simulated fire extinguisher. I won both contests. At another job, they had a different contest. This contest had everyone lined up and given balloons to blow up. Maybe not so easy in Los Angeles? With everybody on their marks and ready to go, the signal was given. I immediately filled a third of the balloon while others were struggling. After glancing at the competition, I quickly finished it off way ahead of the rest. I can only wonder that they thought I cheated. Well, sort of... Before starting, I had stretched the balloon making it much easier to inflate...

racocn8 comments on Jan 12, 2023:

Alcohol addiction is common, so avenues will be (somewhat) defined by your insurance or financial capability. To the extent that one shows willingness to pursue therapy, that therapy can include referral to clinics and/or treatments. Spravato clinics (ketamine) have become more accepted. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/26/health/ketamine-alcohol-use-study/index.html Psilocybin and other hallucinogens have shown efficacy in providing the rewiring needed to defeat addiction. Of course, use of hallucinogens can be hazardous, and decriminalization programs usually require an experienced guide. Many universities currently conduct research programs in this process, so research in your state may be available. It's likely that a number of start-up pharmaceutical companies are conducting research using their own novel, patentable hallucinogens (tryptamines). Some companies may be willing to ship microdose psilocybin to your location, however microdosing to alleviate alcoholism has little exploration. Or, travel to a therapy-friendly state. For certain, some people travel to visit Spravato clinics. https://i-d.vice.com/en/article/dypynv/microdosing-psilocybin-alcoholism CFI - Center for Inquiry used to have an associated agnostic support group for alcoholism. https://www.sossobriety.org/

We are seeing the effects of rampant political corruption throughout government, but especially in the slow-walking of prosecution by the DOJ. At the local level, prosecution of political violence is rare with sabotage going unsolved and intimidation un-prosecuted. The GQP in government are practicing slow-quitting if it involves suspects who share the GQP ideology. When they do get prosecuted, they get the lightest sentences possible. The left-wing pot is already simmering with outrage at this corruption. If the DOJ doesn't start to do it's job, some new kind of rebellion will develop. Or, possibly we'll see marches on Washington to demand the justice and competence that has been lacking. Or, the violence will be joined. Or both.

We walked to my car and I lifted her into the seat. I went around to get in on my side, got in, and at that moment, it dawned on Roxy that she was going to a wonderful home.

Half of the Evangelicals support Putin's war in Ukraine even though only a few decades ago, they denounced everything Russian as godless communism. That's one hell of a 180. More importantly, the various intelligence agencies were very aware of Putin's election interference in Ukraine, France, Brexit, and many others. And yet when they engaged with the Trump campaign, collecting polling data from Manafort and Bannon, crickets.

Women often received severe abuse at the hands of intoxicated men. However, Prohibition provided criminal organizations with a new, major source of income, and did little to reduce the presence of liquor.

That has gone on for almost 90 years with almost no action to undo the harm. While alcohol has minimal utility, cannabis has shown efficacy for many dozens of diseases, including cancer.
