YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

Generally medical professionals do not vouch for using milk for tear gas despite it often being touted. The research seems to suggest they are largely the same in providing relief...

SomeAmateur ,

I've never been tased but I strongly suspect it would be taser, tear gas, pepper spray from best to worst. The effects of pepper spray is intense and long lasting, even when you shower after pepper spray will leave your pores and hit your face again, and maybe even run down to your junk if you aren't careful

I get that in political office everything in the public eye is a sort of show. What clothes you wear, how you handle yourself, the speeches etc.

So I get that to some people anything a politician does is purely for their own benefit. Nobody wants to look bad of course. But to me this seemed more genuine than most.

And just imagine what was going through the mind of that veteran! You do your part when you were young, filling out the forms, standing in the lines, training. Probably having doubts that they would make it out in one piece. Then decades later being thanked in person by a leader from the generations of children that didn't even exist in the world you fought for, but who also understands the realities and tolls of conventional war at an individual level. It's got to be surreal.

US special forces have front heavy guns with thicker barrels, lights, lasers, quad rails etc.

And look at how well they do, the weight must be the secret!

I hate the lack of field of view in modern trucks

SomeAmateur , (edited )

I get the pillars. They also have curtain airbags, electrical lines etc. Most newer vehicles will have that.

I mean the engine and hood itself. So square and chunky that you can hardly see the road, and that's without lift kits or anything

Unironically it would be fun to see. I don't like the mpg but reusing it is better than sending it to a junk yard I suppose

You can have both and it doesn't need to compete with industrial farming or meet some business model. It just needs to meet your needs and/or goals.

Gardening lets you grow the stuff you want how you want and eat it fresh without taking days and trucks on a highway to get it to you.

I'm thankful for the conveniences of modern agriculture but if gardening didn't have any positive impact why did they push victory gardens so much in WW2?

It feels good, teaches valuable skills, makes your neighborhood more resiliant and gives you healthy things you want to eat. It's more than simply therapeutic.

SomeAmateur ,

Yup we shoud normalize gardening and canning. It's a thing my grandparents knew. Their families survived times of world wars, dust bowls and the great depression. They probably didn't have much choice in the moment but even when times got better they kept up a wonderful little garden. Kid me didn't get why they didn't just buy the things they needed.

I love the conveniences of modern farming and I use it every day. But like all big industialized systems they can be fragile. Covid was a huge problem for a lot of indistries and thankfully farming wasn't really one of them. But if it was countless people would have struggled.

I'm not really a prepper or anything crazy but I don't want to forget the lessons learned just a few decades ago- gardening is great and worth the effort.

SomeAmateur ,

Well yes but more too!

It would be kind of interesting (and probably terrifying) if it acted more like our wind tho

Yeah it's been improving over the past few months. It's hit or miss though

Maggots on wounds is a thing too. They only eat dead tissue

SomeAmateur ,

The maggots do the hard work cleaning the wound. Cleaning up the maggots and poo is easy by comparison. But yeah you don't want to leave them there forever, just enough to remove the dead stuff.

Being a life long military nerd this would have been super fun for me. Yes dark considering the geopolitical circumstances but objectively come on handling weapons and playing flight sims instead of a boring math class? Easy win for kid me...and adult me
