Chetzemoka, (edited ) to asklemmy in [EXPERIMENTAL] What are your hidden gem medications/drugs/substances and what makes them ideal for your usecase [**Bolded Substance Name (Brand/Street Name)** + New Paragraph folks]

Heads up to anyone with cardiac issues, especially long QT syndrome or other meds that prolong the QT internal: Ondansetron is so notorious for QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmia problems that we have to perform an EKG before we’re allowed to give you a second dose on our cardiac unit.

I have scary anecdotes that bias me against it lol

Low Dose Naltrexone is amazing for all kinds of chronic pain and inflammation.

Chetzemoka, to asklemmy in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

I dunno, cats are so individual. One of mine loves this ball-in-circle toy so much, she’ll play with it for hours on and off. My other one wants ME to play, no matter what toy it is.

Here’s the ball-in-circle toy:

I think you have to just try different things and see what they like most. Maybe try a catnip stuffed toy?

I also find that they are just like humans and the things they like most are whatever is new. So I buy them like one new toy a couple times a year. It’s almost Christmas; I’ll get them a new toy as a gift haha

Chetzemoka, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Sorry, I didn’t say that clearly. What I mean is you have to remember to use the damn HSA card when you go to buy Tylenol instead of your normal payment method. This is…where I tend to fail lol

Chetzemoka, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

I use Dawn-style dish soap for everything except shampoo. I go with the conditioner-only strategy for hair cleaning. Shampoo really isn’t necessary.

Chetzemoka, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

I will second this. YouTube can teach you step by step how to cut your own hair. I’ve been doing it for years, and currently have a fancy asymmetrical one side buzzed cut that I do myself. The learning curve is going to result in you looking awkward a couple of times, but the amount of time and money saved over the years is tremendous.

Chetzemoka, to memes in textbook

I mean…

Textbook

Textbook

My actual Anatomy textbook is full of these weirdly sensual illustrations that are just… unnecessary.

Chetzemoka, to lemmyshitpost in Too Damn High...

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.

Chetzemoka, to piracy in Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

My understanding was this was the actual intended use case for NFTs. To allow you to properly own a digital item. The fact that it got applied to a stupid fad right out the gate doesn’t change the fact that it should actually be used to allow us to own things again.

Chetzemoka, to comicstrips in "Daily Affirmations" by War and Peas

I was gonna say, whoever made this has never dealt with an invasive ladybug swarm in their house before lol

Chetzemoka, to asklemmy in Spotify Wrapped 2023 - what 0.05% are you in over how many monthly listeners?

Nine Inch Nails. Why yes, I was in high school in the 90s, why do you ask?

Chetzemoka, to memes in Question for God

Oh, so it’s yet another one of those problems caused by that whole “let’s take this four legged mammal body plan and make it stand upright” thing. Thanks, evolution!

Chetzemoka, to memes in Question for God

I can’t tell you how often this ends old people’s lives. They start to aspirate food, get hospitalized for nasty pneumonia because of it, we try to feed them pureed food (essentially baby food all over again) and thicken their drinks, they struggle to stay hydrated and nourished because of it, they aspirate and end up in the hospital again. Rinse, repeat.

This is shockingly common. Evolution is a dick.

Chetzemoka, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Oh I hadn’t even thought of that. I have two accounts because when I started using Boost for Lemmy, my home instance wasn’t supported, so I signed up for startrek.website.

My old account would appear to be an inactive user in the numbers, which is not really accurate. But also it means that bump in users that happened during the reddit exodus was partially driven by duplicate sign ups.

Chetzemoka, to memes in Please, not again.

Not gonna lie, being a nurse during a pandemic with that jackass as president broke something in me
