As much as we can separate out peoples based on the Palestinian side of the issue and the Israeli side of the issue, we may also be able to divide it between those who are okay living side-by-side and are really ready to just get the fuck on with their lives and those who are hell bent on making it a duel to the death. Obviously…

@Unseen I ran into a Modern Life for the 70’s Mind reaction to Hi Ren (also see above), and watched. Good tip, to just skip the narrative on Bob’s personal life.

At the end of the review he picked up on how the camera recording changed to human-held, making it feel more real, at the most personal moment. The opera singer (above) also pointed this…[Read more]

Come on, that’s not even the same model.

@Unseen, I also should have recalled something else that Amazon does to rip people off, which may explain why your search came up with the wrong model. Amazon’s search has been increasingly useless, and to me, seemingly for the purpose of getting people to buy what Amazon wants you to b…[Read more]

@Unseen – yes, I like the Tin Machine cover too. I had forgotten all about them even though I heard that very song being played outside his house in Lower Manhattan a month or so after he died.

One of my fav covers by him is Cactus by The Pixies (best love song ever!)

research on the myocarditis link (not sure about pericarditis despite being a rather similar condition)

I’ve mixed up myocarditis and pericarditis. After up to a dozen (I lost count) medical courses, I should have remembered that myocarditis is inflammation of heart muscle and pericarditis is inflammation of the sac that surrounds…[Read more]

PopeBeanie,

As medically educated and self-educated as I am, and as I’ve learned how to reduce most of the rhabdomyolysis (before I even talk to my doctor), I didn’…

If Statins are on your list of prescriptions, always check with your Doctor to see if Rhabdomyolytis may be an issue for you. Weakened thighs and upper body weakness were my sign. There are other signs of Rhabdomyolytis too and other causes besides Statins as well.

Wow, thank you, this is one of the most helpful off-topic…[Read more]

@Unseen, I’ll pass this on to Rebel, who may or may not be able to fix it or remove the search icon.

Meanwhile, there’s a Search Tips post that’s been around for years, which I’ve also just updated for you and everyone.

E.g. for google search, you could select/highlight the line below, then copy/paste (or right-click) it:

@unseen – you might be interested in this BBC programme https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mdfw/episodes/player

It’s several 30 minute episodes of audio only, which I like because it allows me to do other work while listening. This link makes it slightly easier to skip the first, intro episode, and then jump from one e…[Read more]
