I'd put money on it.

You're forgiven, lovely. 💚

This is actually a pretty good thought.

Yes, actually. This is definately a source they use.

My special interest is what happened similarly with silver dirhams in the late Viking Age. You can see the silver got increasingly less pure from the source (Middle East) which reverberated into Scandinavia and early fortified towns. I reposted this recently in !archaeology@mander.xyz, but this is from one of my old lecturers and it gives an overview of the relationships between Scandinavia and the Middle East during this time which is not well understood by the general public: https://aeon.co/essays/the-viking-age-is-undergoing-a-revisionist-transformation

The caveat being that these papers are preprints, aka not peer reviewed. It's got a lot of gems, but also a metric fuck ton of garbage. Use it as a starting place, not a finishing one, like Wikipedia... but it's sometimes even less reliable. If it's not your specially, find better sources.

This is my experience too, ironically. Lmao. One woman I even chose for her compassionate care awards. I never saw her again. I still generally seek out women doctors for other things.

Even just some novocaine does wonders. I'm due a new one and I keep putting it off. I've had 3. One they gave me (fairly useless) paracetamol. I had one without anything and one with novocaine. Ironically the latter was my first (15 years ago!!). They seem to have gotten worse each time.

This is the first thing I saw. I'm so triggered. I have a broken centerfuge lid on my desk rn that unbalanced everything for years. I think I'm going to keep it to remind me that "this too shall pass."

Another drop in the bucket for Nestlé.

I have to take my meds an hour before I have to get up because it makes me so exhausted.
