The text on the top blends in a bit and I thought that this was an endorsement for a sec.

Breathing exercises like square breathing can help:

• Breath in for 4 seconds
• Hold for 4 seconds
• Breath out for 4 seconds
• Hold for 4 seconds
• Repeat

Hormones are active in the brain and if you are low it can cause mood problems. Most sources I've seen show a 4-5 day half-life for estrodial valerate. This can leave you pretty low before 7 days are up if you are on weekly injections. There are two ways that people typically work around this:

• Increasing the dosage high enough that you don't dip too low. This unfortunately also means that your peak levels may get higher than your Dr is comfortable with.
• Splitting the dose in half and injecting two times a week instead of one. This will significantly smooth out the curve, but have the downside of requiring twice the injections.

This is an example simulation with a once weekly 5mg injection vs a twice weekly 2.5mg injection to illustrate the difference between the two:

I guess what I am saying is that there are options if the dosing schedule you start off with causes you problems that you can work through with your Dr. Also, the 5mg I used for the simulation was a semi random number and not a recommended dose.

"Non-lethal" should really say less lethal, since the can and do kill. Especially when they are intentionally misused as they so often are.

...that the NY Times went out of their way to help usher in.

They are in fact awesome books.

I did as well.

30 grams is a round number somewhere in the ballpark of a musket ball. I am also uncertain as to how you ended up with 19.2 km/s.

To the best of my recollection the energy should be conserved according to the formula: energy = mass * velocity squared

Mass is in kg and velocity is in m/s

So solving for v would give us around 2.3 km/s for a 0.5 g projectile. At that speed, the projectile would most likely detonate immedeately due to air resistance rendering it problematic as a firearm.

Unfortunately people who have X instead of M or F on their documents haven't been able to get a passport at all, even with the wrong gender marker. They have functionally been banned from traveling.

Many of the things we take for granted as obvious these days were anything but until recently. Take bolt cutters for example. The compound lever that let's them function so well seems like something that would have been around for centuries, but in reality wasn't something that was widely used/understood until the 1890s when they were marketed as a wonder tool.

On the other hand, this is a game and should be fun regardless of how anachronistic it is at times. At least as long as the witch/duck proportionality is maintained. There has to be at least some realism.

I was assuming that the total energy would be maintained (In this case 1350 joules) and thus the damage should be the same if weren't spread out. It has been 20+ years since I has to do any of that math so I could be wrong about any of that. And since the only paper that was handy happened to be an envelope I guess it was technically back of the envelope math. :)
