GOP Politicians Who Tricked Farmers Into Voting For Them, Block Meaningful Right To Repair Protections They Championed To Entice Their Votes In The First Place.

Never forget this is about greed at the top, keeping those at the bottom uninformed so they will vote against themselves.

My ears ring so much from the concussion. Cannabis calms that. I can watch TV, hear the clock tick and traffic go by.

When it's bad, all I hear is the shifting sand in the breeze. Cannabis calms the anxiety it induces while bringing quiet for me.

Also, the chemicals of those plastics leak and degrade into a nasty soup. Toxic enough to cause nerve damage.

People died, and the rest are out of money from the profiteering..........

Mt Siani has a great CTE team of neurologists who work with the Concussion Legacy Foundation and others doing deep research. They are studying brains from all sports and actively recruiting from more than just the nfl for studies and brain donations.

It's another fallacy. That this is only one study and not enough research. It's a massive effort now.

I'm typing this post when just a couple of years ago, I could not. So there is hope even if it's for short windows. But it's there and there is help coming. It won't be fast enough to save some of us, but we're trying.

Yup. Any traumatic brain injury is rough.

Look at the number of Nascar drivers with cte and cte type symptoms. Earnhardt Jr. retired due to repeated traumatic brain injury.

That's the hard part.

My kids are young, and my son wants to play things I did. He's also watching me die from the long-term effects of being a pro athlete in my 20s and 30s.

It's hard to properly teach my kids that sports have consequences long after the now without squashing hopes and dreams.

I want him to play the sports he wants, but it's difficult knowing some are not safe at any level, unfortunately. There's no safe way to beat physics of the law of motion and protect your brain. We're humans, not woodpeckers, with special engineering to protect their brains.

Think of the fact that for years, the NFL blocked this research by saying the links didn't exist. Now there's the studies with just that info. You're so right in your post.

Lawsuits are coming that the NFL owners and enablers can't legislate away. Millions of our youth are destroyed each year to combat and contact sports cte factories. Now everyone can sue for the covering up of it.

They wonder why all the cognitive issues for non pro athletes parallel pros later in life for minor league, collegiate, and high-school players as well? Damage was done as kids badly, and that never goes away.

Won't just be the NFL, also hockey, pro wrestling, soccer, mma, boxing, collegiate contact sports in general, they are in trouble, and pretty much any combat sport It's going to get ugly for these owners by this time next year.

Just right.

I've been looking for it recently. I read it in the 80s when I was on a huge timescale kick with sci-fi. I can't dig up the name yet, but.

One that was good this conversation brought to mind with generation ships was the Helliconia Trilogy. The generation ship ran to an absurd conclusion.

There are some cool scifi series from years ago about generation ships arriving on time but being badly outdated by the time they got there and their people archaic compared to their now faster than light travel counterparts. Divergent genetics and more. Creepy stuff to contemplate.

Yet they charge ever more for it. Despite no improvements.

Pharmaceutical companies are as bad as landlords who jack up the rent despite doing nothing to provide more for that money.

I wish the US was this progressive. We would enable so many to have good lives again if we did.

Welcome to the world of crypto mining type setups just to play games.

They burn through connectors in mining.

Now desktop units by themselves are pulling as much as multiple GPUs used to.

Thanks for sharing this. I'd seen the middle image of the universe but not with this extra info.
