What you describe sounds complex, but for the vertigo part, check out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If you have seen an ENT, they've probably covered this base, but even though it's the most common cause of vertigo-

Similar situation, I have a bathroom with an exhaust fan but no openable windows. Besides the squeegee religion, I have a circulation fan on a timer that I let run for a couple hours to dry things out.

Depends on how ethical you want to be, and on any agreements you signed. Based on experience with a university professor, and a small company with a potentially profitable idea, it can complicate taking the product to market. I'd recom

Creating some random sentences, this came up as 98% chance as fake: My name is Aram. I have a large piece of fish in my backpack. I want to go to the mountains. I have no goals in life. This is all I can write. When I changed "I want..

Your doc should think of this, but add thyroid to the list. Has to be in line before adjusting any of the others the parent mentions (well, except insulin, but I'm hand-waving here).

Funny that the newscaster called the (large brick) cellphone a "trademark of the yuppies." While do recall one self-employed white-collar friend having one, they were much more common among building contractors and tradespeople.

It’s probably this brand, which I’ve seen in the Pacific Northwest (in the US). They do make good products but I don’t see a hot Olde English mustard among their current offerings. https://www.beavertonfoods.com/beaver-brand

In a beautiful thread on Twitter, one of the participants related how her grandmother’s recipes only made sense once she talked with the her grandmother about her measurements. A cup? That was the blue cup she kept over there. A tablespoon?

I have always thought of Heinlein as having written two original books. The first part of _Stranger in a Strange Land_ was one of them, then pick the second part or any of his other books for the other. I really tried to look for originalit

I was going to agree with you, noting that it’s in a basket of fruit (with an offering of foods) but humans have used Pine nuts for food since prehistoric times (per Wikipedia). It seems the simplest explanation–it’s not that Romans didn’t

Not the GP, but for me, in the context of numbers that I use on a keypad (or, ahem, in the context of a rotary dial), the physical actions are linked into the memorization, along with some combination of aural and visual memory.

I can basically agree with those generalizations, but in particular I've always been puzzled why British English tends to use "hospital" without any determiner, but American (really, U.S.) English almost always does. As a nat

“Reduce, reuse” is part of the old saying but it was never heard, because it was never advertised. The entities that could afford advertising, or afford lobbying for it, have more riding on the recycle piece of that—-because reduce and reus

I didn't realize it was running locally, so I think I was inadvertently thrashing it: running in Chrome with many, many tabs open; on an old machine that was probably running low on memory; and randomly pressing F5 instead of Cmd-Enter

This is very cool. I’m sending the link off to an investor friend who is programming-savvy, and to some others who aren’t. I can deal with the auto-complete. A list of fields would help whet the appetite of my less-programming savvy friends

I'm also a 9-hour-a-day person. My partner is probably at 7, but gets up quietly. I can function ok with 7, but I'm miserable and much less functional with anything less. Up late packing and up early for a flight? Misery. But, tho
