Well shit, I grew one town over from there. Pretty sure that’s right by our cliff diving spot on the Croton Falls Reservoir. I never went in it most kids in highschool knew some “facts” about that mine.

Fortunately CMS is rethinking the role of primary care and realizing we can save money if we’re able to provide high quality preventive care like we’re supposed to. PCP service payments (RVUs) are up 18% since 2020 which has been a long time coming. Unfortunately physician pay is down vs inflation over the last few decades but thank Christ administration salaries are way, way up over the same timeframe.

Schwab app works for me on Graphene and that’s my main bank/stocks app. I’ve found I don’t really need all my credit card apps or my other bank app. I check once a day if that and just keep a bookmark. It hasn’t been bad at all.

Thanks, that looks legit, especially considering they got a Nobel for the process. Red blood cells wouldn’t work though, no genetic material to tell the cell what to do. Skin cells sure but deeper layers before they ditch their nucleus. The bottom layer of your epidermis is already made of stem cells that continuously produce new keratinocytes (skin cells). That’d make sense as a starting point for what they did. I’ve been in medicine for seven years and there have been all kinds of crazy claims made but researchers so I’m always skeptical.

Do you have a link for the paper that describes the process for converting blood into stem cells? Curious how they went about it because making red blood cells into stem cells would be hard since they have no nucleus and no DNA. I googled but couldn’t find anything about how they do it.

Couple of things it could be:

1. You locked your knees without realizing it, shut down the blood return from your legs, then had a drop in blood pressure due to decreased blood return to your heart causing you to pass out.
2. You took a big hit, expanded your chest, held it, decreased blood flow through your thoracic cavity due to the increased intrathoracic pressure then a blood pressure drop as above.
3. Your vasovagaled yourself somehow (bearing down on a held hit maybe or just due to weed effects) which is increased parasympathetic nervous system tone that drops blood pressure
4. Some weird shit 🤷🏼‍♂️, the body can be odd and changes as we age so maybe you just can’t smoke weed now cause of the earlier mentioned weird shit

I agree with your doc (I’m a family med physician), don’t smoke if all of a sudden you’re passing out.

Fucking not 9lbs that’s for sure. Around 1/2lb usually.

But then you don’t get that cheese that dribbled out and sat on the pan and got crunchy and savory and delicious. Like caramelized cheese.

I just finished Breath of the Wild and was thinking I wanted a zkorok for around the house. I’d definitely buy the drunk Korok
