This is true to some extent - use it or lose it. They also teach you to know your limits so your pain doesn't flareup and put you in bed for a week. You learn this delicate balance this over time, to push yourself just enough but not t

Thank you so much! So much terrible information at the top of this page, really shows the weaknesses of the upvote model here.

Have you tried the Butrans patch? It is buprenorhpine and as of February, 2018 there is no legal restriction on it under CDC/FDA policy: unlimited prescriptions. No special license required to prescribe it (it is against regulation to

I'm not saying don't investigate. Its been ten years for me, and I'm still investigating. But the numbers are clear: usually there is no clear cause except a poorly understood change in the nervous system. The answer for most

You and Jesus are assholes. May you suffer as I do and learn the value of suffering first hand.

Acute pain is a symptom. Chronic pain is a disease. Most chronic pain is not directly connected with a root cause. Spinal MRIs for example are poor predictors of spinal pain. It is an upmodulation of pain sensation in the peripheral nervous

Unfortunately most chronic pain has no clear cause. That's why spinal surgery is much more discouraged these days for spinal pain. Artifacts on spinal MRIs for example are only slightly correlated with pain. Many people have severe pro

This is not medical reality. Chronic pain is usually caused by an up-modulation of pain transmission in the peripheral and central nervous system. It is totally distinct from acute, short term pain with a clear cause. It is treated differen

The opioid action of Tramadol is far less than Codeine. That's mostly not how it works.

There is usually no cure for chronic pain. This is medical fact. Your case is not descriptive. It is usually not caused by scar tissue, or an infection. For example MRI reports are only slightly correlated with actual spinal pain. It genera

I've found the tradeoff is in favor of using ECS, Kubernetes or something similar. The docs aren't too bad now. It is great to be able to build/deploy a docker image and not worry about how it gets out there, and what might g

IAM is a killer. You’re absolutely right. Are GCP permissions easier? I haven’t used them as much.

The google services are just way easier to use but once you’ve got expert level proficiency at AWS it’s tough to let go.

I can’t really imagine going back to scripting servers remotely to boot up without docker. It sucked. And if you’ve got docker you want something like ECS, cause why manage your own servers? It’s a bit rough to learn but man life sucked bef

I agree. A minimum wage for everyone, with no underclass, would be ideal. As would a work permit program.

I think the job is for people without more opportunity. Paying more would help, but I still think it would mostly be immigrants doing the job. The other issue is that paying more would result in more automation for crops that can be automat

The argument seemed to be that it would split the codebase out there by style and that would be bad.

The work is so back breaking that no US citizens want the work. They get easier jobs. I heard interviews with a couple of farmers, no US citizens had ever come back after lunch.

by rjurney 7y ago
US citizens never stay past lunch at any of the farms doing picking. The work is too hard, nobody here wants it.

I know Mike. He was editor of my first book and I still deal with him. He’s about the most standup guy I’ve ever worked with. If you’re thinking about writing a book, pitch Mike. I can’t recommend him more. I needed help with having the con

The problem is most people that want undocumented immigrants deported don't actually want them deported. They just want them to be an underclass available for cheap labor and keep their mouths shut. Undocumented workers are essential t

They would have produced metals pretty quickly given that most of them would be massive and emit stellar wind and/or supernova?
