seen plenty of overweigh engineers in the SIlicon Valley
Overeating protein will *slow* the rate of ketone production, not increase the rate of glucose production.
@KenneticEnergy Oh, well that would help 😄
@Deleted User Of course. They sit all day.
Worked there for 20 years
@Deleted User Yeah, you were telling me about that. Thanks for the heads up. I won't ever move there but I will work for a company there for good money remotely 😄
@machtyn Yeah, I'm in anatomy right now and we looked at a human brain that was from an individual who died as a result of cocaine abuse. The brain looked black, and that was from the destroyed blood vessels as a result of cocaine use. I was shocked
@KenneticEnergy That is insane.
@KenneticEnergy That is awesome though! What's your career goal?
Kennetic......people are doing LSD again????? WT Freak!
@machtyn Yeah, especially if you think about how toxic blood is to neurons.. def a recipe for disaster.
I'm trying to get into nursing school haha
@Deleted User Yeah, Silicon Valley is apparently full of software engineers and social media engineers who are microdosing on acid and other psychadelics. It's crazy
I am lucky.........my cocaine abuse............I came through it with most of my brain still inatct....but man.....at tax time, following the forms for all the clients I have.....yeah, there was a side effect...I have to go real. real slow
They're doing it as a way to "concentrate" better, but it's insaine. That's like taking vicodin for a minor headache
Have not done LSD since 1992.........
@Deleted User For sure man. I heard back in the 80s/90s it was considered like a "classy" or "rich person's" drug lol
I have several family members who suffered from cocaine addiction. Theyre clean now though
LSD got popular on college campuses at the end of the 1980's......cocaine was and is still expensive. Nasty evil drug
Been clean since 2004
@Deleted User That's awesome for you, yeah I can never imagine ever taking those drugs. Stuff is literally poison
I was raised better and I knew better but still did it anyway.....behaving like a woman.....blaming everything that was wrong in my life on "someone else"
thankfully I got over THAT
What baffles me though, is how strong nicotine is. Apparently it's easier for someone to quit a hard drug like cocaine or heroin than to come off of nicotine
I still smoke cigarettes
debatable.....my dad quit after 45 years of smoking. He just decided he was "done" and this was back in the 1980's
@Deleted User They have some awesome programs out there if you're looking to quit. Statistically they say for most people it takes about 4-5 tries
I really don't want to quit, truth be told
That's amazing. Yeah my dad was the same way, some people are just able to put it down while for others it's worse than coming off of cocaine or heroin
I don't smoke in the apt....even if it was allowed, I would still take it outside. The cost is a ton, and that has reduced my smoking. A pack now lasts me three days. I used to smoke two a day in the 1990's
Cigarettes didn't kill my dad. He died in his sleep back in 2014 from an anuerism
Yeah, there's so many taxes and stuff placed on it it's expensive. And I'm sorry for your loss..
The old man was 84. He died in his chair while taking a nap. Not in a hospital. Not some slow, long, agonizing death...........mom died back in 2010, undected cancer. She felt no pain
until it was too late
@Deleted User At least he wasn't in pain, that's the good thing. And yeah cancer is such a silent killer, a lot of people don't realize they have it until it's stage 2 or 3
mom was like that. didn't smoke or drink.......went to her yearly checkup......her ovaries were huge.....she was past stage two going into stage threee. No pain. Six months later. Gone
@KenneticEnergy That is awesome! Good luck. Nursing is an amazing field. Isn't the base pay for an RN like 70k in most states?
that was a shock. dad.......I was happy for him.......died a way that many will never have. Quietly at home. Book in lap. fell asleep, never woke up
@Deleted User That sounds amazing 😉
