to be fair the LNT does appear to diverge from data in ranges where background radiation isn't just a rounding error. it's gonna be good fun seeing people argue about this poo poo online in the future

i really like the actual lamp they're advertising there tbh, it's a mercury lamp that's formed as a sealed tube, and then power is delivered to it using RF energy so it lasts way longer than a normal bulb. it'd probably never fly today because i'm sure it's blasting out hilarious amounts of interference (not to mention the, you know, radiation) but it's a neat concept

reminder that back when i had an ambien prescription for working 2nd shift to make it so i could go home and immediately go to sleep after getting off work at 1 am and not sleep through the whole day the next day, i took it BEFORE the shower instead of after my shower when i was already in bed one time and i woke up banned for posting in the coupons forum asking for help making "strawberry casserole" and i woke up to find my ice cream maker broken, and a strawberry smoothie poured into a casserole dish sitting on the top rack of my oven, which i was apparently too out of it to turn on and burn down my house.

if you are gonna take an ambien, do it when you are already in bed and don't have access to the internet and turn your goddamn lights off IMMEDIATELY.

my wife would sometimes take it but not go right to bed. she’d end up coming into the bedroom at like 1:00, wearing her wedding veil and telling me all about how there were these ghost strangers in the house.

i was briefly on ambien. i lived in a 15th story condo in waikiki. i woke up one morning and i found one of my bar stools out on the patio right up against the railing meaning my ambien zombie rear end was on my balcony for who knows how long sitting on the edge of a 150ish foot drop. that was my last ever ambien.

same. i was in a pretty messed up place at the time. i was in the middle of getting medboarded out of the navy for something that turned out 6 years later to just be a labrum tear in my hip. i was no longer on a ship because going up and down the ladders was excruciating after the first trip or two. the command i was at treated me as if i was faking my injury and in general pretty lovely. i’m surprised i made it out with my sanity.
