Oh brother, where art thou?

Man of constant sorrow. Nuff said

Gout. Big toe on fire, throbbing with pain, joint swollen until there are no discernable features. Even a feather touching the area is enough to generate hot searing pain. The constant urge to 'pop' the big toe joint set against the impossibility to actually wriggle the toe without passing out.

Should drink lots of water to flush out the uric acid, but every trip to the bathroom has to be carefully considered because walking there takes 2-3 minutes of grabbing on to nearby things/people while stepping awkwardly on the outside edge of the foot, instead of 20 seconds of normal walking.

I've had severe tooth pain for a couple of weeks (a cyst - the pain killed the nerves in some of my teeth), and 3 days of gout until the meds worked well enough to walk less painfully were worse.

No Man's Sky. Pretty sweet deal, I think.

I'd just start mining random stuff to put together to make better mining gear to mine better and more stuff.

Then just get on my dinghy and explore the 'verse while looking out for a better dinghy. Maybe plop down a few bases on nice planets, rinse and repeat.

legend goes that Greta made the guy mad on xitter and he posted a response that also included a picture of himself with a pizza box, and cops knew where to find him because of the brand on the box, but not sure if it was proven true or not

Condensation shouldn't be an issue as long as you're not cooling below the current dew point.

However, after experiencing one of these underfloor cooling systems once, I can say that the biggest issue is that cold air tends to be heavier and thus stay down. So in order to cool the entire room, not just the layer of air right above the floor, you need something to move the air, which is probably why they're providing fans. Either that or you can just lie on the floor all the time...

Floor heating works because warm air rises. I never understood why 'floor' cooling wasn't piped through the ceiling, instead. There are probably some engineering or heat transfer issues there, though.

Nah. I'm sure they'll go straight for the 8-day work week. Gotta think outside the box here taps head

heh, I can also hear myself blink sometimes in a quiet room. my thyroid tests are inconclusive though.

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

have you considered getting your thyroid checked? anecdotal evidence, a former colleague mentioned they had thyroid issues (on the hyper side) and could hear their pulse in their head before solving it. somehow that bit of info stuck with me

Ah, yes. My mistake, did not read the entire wikipedia article there for sardonic grin.

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Huh. I was thinking Aconitum species when they mentioned carrots.

Sardonic grin just mentions strychnine poisoning, which comes from a tree.

I think they may be using mastodon and that's how you post in a lemmy community via mastodon, using the @ tags.
