well, if he's on his glorious suicide arc, who am I to stand in his way? you've already got the screencaps, and doubtless have been mashing the report button with them; it isn't like he can walk any of it back even if he tried

yeah
they have a lot of institutional backing, so you have to be careful when dealing with them, but being able to effectively use bureaucratic tools enables you to deal with them more efficiently; the key is to understand that your winning move is to make a specific and personal problem for the bureaucrat who has the power to solve ***your*** problem, thereby making his correct move to simply comply and be rid of you
social skills are important; if the person you're dealing with ISN'T empowered to directly solve your problem, then making an enemy of them isn't going to work out well, and commiserating with them is frequently your best move ("we're both stuck in this ridiculous system, I don't want to be a pain in ***your*** ass, just hook me up with whoever's ass I need to be a pain in and we cool")
it really, really helps if you know a doctor; a fren with an MD after their name makes them nervous, because they know that while they can bullshit other people all day long, another doctor is a very different story and there be dragons there
it also helps if you understand how to find the organ-grinder quickly; in Hump's case, if there wasn't anybody to discharge his wife, then who was going to be making the call and doing the paperwork for the report? that isn't the sort of thing a CNA is going to be doing, and it's even the sort of thing an RN is probably going to need somebody else to sign off on, so if they can go to that level of trouble they can get a whitecoat to show up from some other department and kick her out the door, especially if she is very clear that she understands whatever risks there are and wants to GTFO
that said, "medical kidnapping" of children is a real thing, they can a do it if they get pissy, and there is a lot of organizational power behind them if they choose to go that route; be advised that the "legal" cures for this can take a long time to work through and while your kid is out of your hands who the fuck knows what they'll be doing to him

some of them may be useful, tho
the life-extension hackers have made some inroads in this area; metformin, for example, seems to have some use for longevity (via mTOR, I believe), even though it was designed as a diabeetus medication
PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis) are associated with a lower risk of dementia (due to improved bloodflow) to go along with your improved boners
lowering blood pressure overall reduces incidence of cardiac and kidney issues, by definition; there's usually not a downside to doing that
beta-blockers, by lowering heart rate, lowers incidence of heart attacks and increases survival if you do have one, I believe
not all aspects of modern pharmacology are bullshit, even if the first response to most things is to stuff a pill down your face; it's important to be a savvy consumer and to understand where you can get actual benefits

that's interesting (picrel from article):
> cramps in both legs
> walking helped
> potassium and magnesium didn't
hyperkalemia that he unknowingly exacerbated by taking more? (if he was taking potassium on a regular basis to begin with he might have wound up OD'ing on it, especially if he was taking BP meds)

if @npub1qpz…eunp is @graf's friend, then I will avoid communicating with him in any manner other than the most respectful for the sake of not pissing graf off, simple as
that's not because I think highly of nozaki, it's because I am grateful to graf
I'm not sure why you think this is a huge own

the first question is real easy: because he's a bit autistic and hails from Jim's Blog, where that is a somewhat unfortunate aspect of the environment: they're famous for takes on female sexuality in particular which are unfortunately indistinguishable in many instances from the average pedo/ephebo justifications
(I note that there is a certain internal logic to the takes they have, rooted in observable biological and social fact, but the civilized mind does recoil from their conclusions none the less)
if you want to boil his point down to its essence, though? it isn't a "should"
here's a hard truth to swallow: ***there are going to be warbrides of precisely that type***, that happens in every single war ever in human history and no war in the future will ever be an exception, any Person of Concave is going to wind up with some very unfortunate incidents in her wartime biography (including, generally, lifelong reminders of those incidents who call her 'Mom') and this is simple historical fact
so at the end of the day, it isn't a question of "whether you support it or not", it's going to happen (if you don't believe me, go ask German women of a certain age what happened when their country was occupied)
want another hard truth? ....how exactly do you think a warlord is going to appeal to that vast mass of incels out there that are going to comprise most of his troops? what tools do you think he's going to use? do you think, in the final analysis, that all of them are going to care about adherence to laws that, by definition and ancient habit, are ***silenced*** during wartime?
or, do you think they're simply going to come up with some roughly tolerable and equitable way of parceling out Concave Resources to their troops, with generous boundaries for their use designed to maintain good order and discipline?
that seemed, to me, to be what SP was saying
I'll let you think about that for a bit

what you want is to avoid spinning up the turbine, though, unless it's for a long-term recharge cycle (which might include main power provision); this wastes fuel and causes wear
(remember, turbines like to be steady-state)
the goal is to have battery handle the power demand until it gets down to 33% or whatever, at which point the turbine spins up for 2 hours or however long to fully recharge it, at which point it spins down again
you really don't want the turbine spinning longer than it has to, but you also don't want it spinning up more times than it has to; there's a sweet-spot here that you want to hit, and it's almost certain to require batteries to hit it
