    Sorry, I understand that it has it's place (ie. chemo). I try not to call sick people crazy...but some of them are fucking crazy =)

    Crazy! I refuse to even write for it. Too addictive, only crazy people ask for it. No thank you.

    I don't have a ton of experience with it, but I've only seen it as transdermal patches, so that sounds like bullshit to me =)

    Everquest Mysteries

    Flying. Like levitation but controllable. I never saw it nor do I know if it was ever implemented at any point but that's what the druid I ran into was telling me. It makes sense that they would have plans for it, but it also makes more sense that they would have to cut it.

    Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but that sounds so familiar. I ran into a druid soloing in Lavastorm and I was amazed, because I couldn't solo for shit. He told me about damage shields and I was like, what? Then he told me about Flight. An early beta spell that I guess Wizard and Druid...

    Not disputing you, it was 18 years ago =) Do you remember your character name/class? I think my first char was HE Wiz named Aeyanel or some shit (RNG). Second was a HE Paladin, can't even remember his name. Third was a DE Cleric named Feyd. Do you remember the player wipes like I described...

    Everquest Mysteries

    There was a phase 0.5 but I thought that was just friends and family. Zoning did take forever to the point where you'd have to be really sure you wanted to zone due to the load time. I remember early in beta there was a guy fishing in Qeynos and I asked what he was a doing. He told me that he...

    My dick? Well that was just a lie. I don't think I even have the beta disc anymore. I'm not sure I could prove it honestly. No screenshots either =( The beta disc I got was just a CD-R with Everquest written in pen and a version number (don't remember that either). One day I got a call from...

    Everquest Mysteries

    I remember a time when NPC dialog didn't even highlight the trigger words. "Welcome Traveler, The evil whatever has descended into this realm. My tale of woe is long and arduous. Would you like to hear my [story] or are you [ready] to accept my challenge?" But without the [ ]. Woof. Side...

    At one point in early EQ the dwarves in BB were on a 6 minute spawn and dropped Fine Steel Axes (I think) that were originally worth 34pp before they got nerfed. They also had a chance to drop Box of Abu Kar (10 slot 100% box) which was money at the time, and I think it was also a bug where any...

    There are huge advances in stem cell. But you have to really research the different types of stem cell, i.e. bone marrow or amniotic etc. If you can afford it, it can help but it is not panacea. There is hope but we're still a ways from "curing" pain.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    I'm really sorry to keep derailing this thread but it seems relevant considering Cornell's struggles. I agree 100% with Dr. Drew on that. The literature and my own clinical experience bear that out. Imagine having a bunch of pain receptors that have a wet blanket on them, i.e. narcotics...

    I'm really sorry for your loss man. The fact that opioids are a gateway is not lost on me. It's a difficult balance trying to help people with real pain and not create dependance. I know who they are. It's been rectified. They're not drug dealers. Incredible show. Pretty front loaded with...

    U2 at the Rose Bowl tonight, Black Hole Sun played before the band came out and they dedicated Running to Stand Still to Cornell. Pretty cool.

    I don't mean to turn this political but that was such a succinct analogy for the American political divide. Each side thinks the other is greedy. Both sides are probably right but it's the extremes that are so divisive right now. Of course, the middle suffers the most. In the case of...

    Lol. We're looking into TRT at our office. Totally true. Sucks that I have to be so skeptical of people dealing with real pain. The other thing that sucks is running into the chronic abuser that knows the system better than you and tries to hold you hostage. Acute opioid withdrawal is not...

    We have one here in Arizona. I can see how many scripts, the provider and the quantity given. The caveat being; if I take the time to login and look, which doesn't happen all the time. I also get a "report card" that you can see below.

    Lol something like that. In fairness, it sounds like he self-medicated and took more than he was prescribed. Also: I know what the books say about these medications, but I have zero first hand experience with taking them myself. I've never taken anything stronger than Tylenol. Some of my...

    We would use a short acting Benzo like Midazolam plus Morphine or Propofol in order to do procedures on people in the ER, joint/fracture reductions especially. Was crazy, I'd be yanking on someone's broken arm trying to set it back in place and they might moan and grimace a little bit, but they...

    Seeing U2 tomorrow night. I'll be booing on the inside when they do their inevitable Trump bashing. Fuckit though, it's the Joshua Tree Tour. I'll be damned if a little virtue signaling is going to keep me from enjoying my probably #1 album all-time played live.

    Ya but didn't he hang himself? Benzo + Oxy would cause CNS depression and ultimately respiratory failure but doesn't sound like what happened here? EDIT: Benzos can cause suicidal ideation however, so there's that.

    I loved Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains. Loved them. STP and Soundgarden were just never my thing. Different strokes. Still sad to see an entire era of talent just gone. Fuck, you add MJ, George Michael, Prince, Bowie and everyone else that's died recently and my childhood memories are...

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    Find someone that works there and befriend them. I never paid to get in to the park. But I also heard that they might have cut back on the free passes for friends and family so that might not be an option anymore. Annual pass would actually make sense too. You WILL have friends and family...

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    Fair enough. I just remember hating the humidity in Miami if I wasn't close to the water. I live in Arizona now, so I'm not a humidity tolerant person, so that's just how it felt the times I visited. Not a scientific analysis at all and it was almost 25 years ago. I would take Orlando over Miami...

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    Lived in Orlando for about 2 years in the military '94-'96, I imagine some things have changed in that time but here's what I remember about the area: Good: It's central Florida, you're only an hour from some awesome beaches: Daytona, Cocoa, New Smyrna and Canaveral. Tons of theme parks (Disney...

    At $20 it's an absolute no brainer. It works perfectly and I've used it to stream things like PAC12 Network to watch basketball games on my TV.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'll piggyback off that, if you or anyone wants this XCOM2 (hard copy) for PS4 let me know. I prefer the PC version but someone should get some use out of it seeing as I can't return it.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I picked up Xcom 2 for PS4 just the other day at Walmart and to me it's unplayable due to how long the load times are on missions. I picked up a key from G2A (I'm not sure how legit it is, but I got my key instantly) for like $17. IMO Doom is great on the PS4, Xcom 2 looked fine on PS4 but the...
