  • I had those issues before the doctor diagnosed GERD/Reflux, and prescribed medication. Now I take a Famotidine every day, twice if I've had something particularly spicy. I never have that problem anymore.

    I finally did something about it when I aspirated in the middle of the night, like you did. It can actually give you pneumonia, which happened to me.

    BTW, a banana can act as a pretty good acid treatment in a pinch., like in the middle of the night.

    Also, which side you sleep on makes a difference, too. Your esophagus goes straight down the middle of your chest, until it reaches your stomach, which makes a left turn. So when you sleep on your left side, the opening to the esophagus is above the stomach, making it difficult for food to slip into it.

    But if you sleep on your right side, your stomach is above the opening, and any undigested contents are up against that opening.. if it's weak, or opens, gravity draws that food into your esophagus, causing reflux.

    So sleeping on your left side is preferred.

  • Years ago, I read In Cold Blood, and the thing that scared one of the killers the most, was that when he was hanged, he'd shit his pants. He insisted on using the toilet before his execution.

    Not me. If they're going to execute me, I'm going to hold it for a few days, and make my executioners deal with the ahftermath.

  • Thomas Jefferson had his own personally edited version of the Bible that focused on the philosophies and stories in the Bible, and left out the supernatural mythology and fairy tales. There were parts of the religion he liked, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the actual religious parts of it.

    And he actually WROTE the founding documents.

  • It literally says "Congress," of which she is a member.

    Every newly elected Congressional Rep and Senator should have to pass a difficult, graduate-level test on the history of the United States, and the Constitution, before being sworn into office. You can't be sworn in until you pass the test. These people are tasked with leading our country. Knowing the basics is the least we can demand of them.

  • Yeah, you do that buddy, spend lots of money, too. Every single vote he draws will come from HitlerPig, not the Dems.

  • Now that he's rooted through through every government database, and stolen everything, he knows too much If he tries to run to China or Russia, his plane will probably mysteriously crash.

  • He won't annex Canada. That's silly.

  • First of all, America is not "the most violent empire on the planet." America has the capability of being the most violent nation, but at the moment, our potential for violence is being eclipsed by other nations who are actively employing the same levels of violence that we are capable of. Nothing we are currently doing comes close to the violence that Russia and Israel are employing.

    And yes, America is the only nation to have deployed nuclear weapons against human targets, but that was 80 years ago, and ended the worst war in human history. After demonstrating its power, just the presence of nuclear weapons in a nation's arsenal has been enough to keep the most powerful, well-armed, violent nations (including America) from going too far.

  • We no longer live in a world where our biggest fear would be the government controlling high level corporations and their operators.

    We now live in a world controlled by Sociopathic Oligarchs who can afford to create government level technology. Right now it's mostly tourism rockets and satellites, but now we see Skum weaponizing that technology, and/or using it as a bargaining chip. He has cut off Starlink in a war zone to benefit the county who defers to him, but is openly hostile to the US, and now he's threatening to cut off our access to the space station. He is using tech that WE PAY FOR with government contracts and grants, to pursue his own diplomacy, for his own benefit, and against our interests.

    Eventually, someone will start building and stockpiling actual weapons, perhaps even atomics. Then we will be asking why someone didn't step in and stop them before they became a bonafide threat.

    We paid for Skum's technology, and he gets to control it as a courtesy. Just the threat of using it against us should be enough reason to declare him a national security threat, confiscate his American-taxpayer financed businesses, and imprison him.

  • To this day, nobody knows how they got that unique guitar distortion sound in that song. It's been long-forgotten, even by those that were at the session.

  • This hump has all the charm of an unwiped asshole.

  • "assassination"

  • He can't be president, he wasn't born here. They already tried that with Ahn-old, and he actually stood a chance of winning. No way anybody with enough juice will back Skum's presidential bid.

  • Absolutely. From the moment they came together, I began to look forward to the inevitable day that they would finally turn on each other. It was a predictable as the sun rising tomorrow morning.

    Frankly, Im surprised it took this long. I was predicting 3 weeks at the outside.

  • We always knew it was coming. All I have to say, to neither one in particular, is: Are you going to let him say that about you? You should blast him, don't hold back.

  • All of this was so predictable.

    Here's another one: Tesla will be bankrupt within two years.

  • I've always thought that Beethoven's best late period works would be great on hallucinogenics.

    Also Debussy and Gershwin. Bach's twisty fugues would also be interesting.

  • If a hardcore Conservative like this is willing to join the Democrats, it demonstrates two things: That the Republican Party has become the MAGA Party, and no longer exists, and the Democratic Party has moved so far right, that even conservatives prefer it to Nazis.

    The real move is to leave BOTH parties, and declare as an Unaffiliated Independent, like Biden Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre just announced.

    There are already more independents than either party, and NO candidate ever wins any election without winning the Indies. Independents are by far the most powerful political faction, they just don't have the money or the organization to throw their weight around, and that becomes their problem. They are defined by not being a party, but to use their inherent power, they have to behave like a party, and that essentially makes them a party, and thus, no longer independent.
