re: "Brain fog"
Posted by HubbaBubba on 11/11/26 at 8:57 am to Everclear2000
My dad passed from complications caused by Alzheimers. The 'brain fog' was the first sign. At first he and others attributed it to typical old age memory issues, but finally my dad was diagnosed, and kept the news of it from us until it was evident there was a problem.
At age 70, I am very cognizant to note the memory issues of old age, but as far as real 'brain fog', I experienced a severe case of it for several months associated with Covid infection. Everyday terminologies, business processes, and technical details that rolled off my tongue like a silk pillowcase sliding off a bed. Quick and easy, normally, but for two months, details, names, data just would not come out. Trying to work physically hurt my head as I tried to think. Mind you, in my role I worked with physicists, optical and photonic engineers, electrical engineers and bioscientists. I was very fortunate to have an engineer who had been my shadow for five years. I was able to set meetings with clients and bow out after introductions making an excuse that I had been called away but turning the meeting over to my sidekick. He did great, nobody noticed my impairment and eventually my brain fog lifted, but it took two months and in those two months I was scared to death that it was a permanent condition that Covid caused.
Yes, 'brain fog' is a real thing.

There are now apps to log consent between two adults, but they don't necessarily create a legal compact.
A couple of Android options are currently listed on Google Play:
Consent lets each person express boundaries and can create a timestamped summary. Its listing says the summary is not a contract or legal evidence.
Yes or No: consentement describes a digitally sealed, timestamped record, but also says it does not constitute legal evidence.
I assume that's because it can't differentiate the circumstances. Is someone inebriated or on a drug? Was there coercion? Was consent revoked if one party did something, like turn the other over and that person have anal sex unwillingly, like with RB? But at least that's something for the record.

re: California has instituted a mandatory age verification law to purchase creatine
Posted by HubbaBubba on 11/9/26 at 10:47 am to F1y0n7h3W4LL
I've been taking it for a year while I was actively working on losing weight, running and gym time. I'm in the thick middle of playing general contractor on my home remodeling and acting as sub/handyman on most of it. Plus taking care of my pool (just finished a SLAM in pool terms. Took me nearly three weeks to put my pool water in the clearest, cleanest it's been in years. :thup:) yard work and new landscaping, plus starting to install Christmas lights so when my wife returns from a trip for a week with her parents, the yard will be done. I've got so much under construction right now that I doubt thatwe decorate inside for Christmas, this year.
Anyway, the creatine adds between 4-5 pounds of water weight gain, and I stopped using it while I'm away from running and the gym for awhile. As soon as I finish up some of these projects I'm back in the gym and I'll be back on creatine. However, if I knew for sure that the cognitive improvements are there to be gained, it might be worth holding extra water for awhile.

That is incredibly stupid. All creatine does is open capillaries in the muscles to allow a more free flow of water, blood and nutrients to feed muscles with the body's own rebuilding minerals and proteins from your food diet after a workout creates tiny microscopic tears in stretched muscles to help them rebuild and grow. What are they concerned with? Physical fitness?

It's already expected to go up at least 3.7%. What are we talking about here? $200 a month?
That's easily doable. Just eliminate all the WIC fraud and Disability fraud.

quote:I asked CHATGPT to summarize from reporting since the court hasn't released the official transcripts, yet.
right. Just trying to figure out what evidence presented to sway the jury one way or the other.
quote:I believe having a bunch of witnesses testify that the alleged victim told them of the incident and how he had hurt her, soon after the sexual encounter, probably carried more weight that his zero witness testifying in his behalf.
The rape conviction: complainant five
"She testified that, after meeting Brand at a 2009 show and later going to his home, they began having consensual sex. She said he then turned her over and anally penetrated her without consent, despite her telling him to stop. She said he told her, “I want you to feel my cum,” and afterward told her to clean up the mess. Brand’s response was that the encounter was consensual.
The court also heard evidence about what she told people afterward. Friends and a former boyfriend described her as upset and reported that she had said he hurt her and that she had told him to stop. Her parents’ statements were read to the court. A friend who had been with her at the show said the complainant later told her she had said no “lots of times.” The jury also heard about a later text exchange: the woman said she told Brand he had treated her “like an animal,” and that he replied, “I’m sorry.” The reports describe roughly two dozen witnesses as supporting parts of her account.
From the testimony, yes, he raped her, but I do fully believe the political climate prevented Brand from having alternative testimonies in his defense as nobody wanted to be associated with Brand. He was a magnet for conservative ideals and ran counter to all that England has become. He was radioactive and nobody wanted to be made into a target for siding with him.
That said, what he did was rape. Not only was it rape, considering his promiscuity and obsession with sex, not only did he anally penetrate her, he removed his condom without her approval and shot his load into her, putting her at potential risk of HIV or other sexual disease infection. That part is sexual assault.

It's still considerably higher than pre Covid pricing which was about $335 per thousand board feet (wholesale) and currently about $450. So still almost 40% higher.
