dose one in the morning then dose two in the evening before bed.
after three days you can taper to 12mg / day. 3-4 for days at that dosage
that's for if you are sick! when I took IVM as a treatment for mRNA side effect I took only 12 mg per day for three months (so one pill in the morning)

19-year-old woman in Cameroon tried to kill herself with an ivermectin overdose. 400 of the 3mg pills, so 100x the normal dosage.
It made her tired and shaky for a couple days, and gave her blurry vision, which she may have had before the event, since everyone in her family has bad vision.

So, as with masturbation, just stop taking ivermectin before you need glasses, and you're fine.

IIRC one of the problems with Helium is that it penetrates everything, including electronics, and can make them not work well. Since there was that call from the ISS (claimed to be a drill) with the Captain being given first aid for hypoxia, I suspect the whole crew was talking like Mickey Mouse by the time the docked. This wouldn't be a problem since they can descend in their suits, but if a chip decides to run backwards or skip odd bits of data, that is a problem.

Just reading about that stuff - and the inevitable photos, them helmints is nasty. I remember seeing displays in formaldehyde of some really super creepy stuff.
But external parasites too - also effective at fleas, lice, mites, possibly ticks or tick borne diseases, mosquitos and malaria etc etc. Mange and/or scabies. Rosacea.
There’s a reason Satoshi and Campbell shared a real Nobel prize in Medicine for it. I suspect that’s why it was looked at early on in the epidemic, it may be one of those medications that works. Another anti-malarial chloroquine was found useful (supposedly) as well. Military might remember that as the “orange M&M”.
A lot of our deployed soldiers and sailors since world war I and beyond came hole with all sorts of “fevers of unknown origin” and a “deworming” or parasite eradication regimen makes more sense to me, if you’re gonna take it. Basically a couple alternate days dosage, and re-dose again in about 2 weeks. Parasite life cycle

This ties into parasites, too! Turns out nematodes don’t much care for Nicotine. The US Army Survival manual TM suggests eating 1 or 2 cigarette contents to shock a tapeworm if in an extended search and evasion scenario. Hot spicy foods helps keep parasites from getting a holt of ya in the first place, but they won’t get rid of them. Probably pisses ‘em off, which is better than nothing. That shit needs to DIE! LOL

The Romans didn't use kilometers?
Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at June 28, 2024 10:28 PM (HDh5M)
IIRC, the Roman unit of distance was the average height of dead 4th Century BC enemy Samnite soldiers. About 5'2''. So, a 70km aqueduct would have been 44,450 Average Height Dead 4th Century BC Samnite Enemy Soldiers long. The Romans eventually totally depleted the supply of dead enemy Samnite soldiers. For convenience at home and at the far reaches of the Republic then Empire, measuring sticks equal to the average height of dead 4th Century BC enemy Samnite soldiers were produced in workshops beneath the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, until the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 BC.

Not unless they were trying to insult him; and usually not even then. The whole reason Augustus' power grab worked was that he tried hard not to look and act like a despotic monarch. He liked to use the title 'princeps,' for 'first among equals,' which is why historians refer to the first stage of the Roman Empire as the Principate. "Augustus" started out as just an honorific; as far as we know, no one during his lifetime used that as his new personal name.

WD, the Onan genset I offered to you got a bath in motor oil the other night. My power went out, and I hooked up my little Coleman genset, with the 8 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. It started on the second pull of the rope. Ran fine, until I noticed the lights in the outer basement were flickering badly, while the ones here in the office (and the computer) were rock steady. Went out for a look-see. Generator is chugging away, in huge puddle of oil, and the oil filler cap on the crankcase is lying on the ground beside it. And a light show of sparks is happening inside the end cover of the generator itself. I shut it down right then and there. The Onan genset was right there, and got a shower of oil all over it. (I am guessing that a solder joint on one of the 3 panel fuseholders on the Coleman went bad, causing the arcs and flickering lights, and the erratic load created a vibration that made the oil filler plug unscrew itself.)
I have some pressure washing to do, so I will drag out the pressure washer, and do both gensets, and the vehicle that wanted washed.

The etymology of "august/Augustus" is interesting. It comes from "augury", reading of signs and omens.

He was asked (Bernard Shaw?) can't remember who, something something about what if a burglar raped and killed his wife. Something like that. He went off on this erudite intellectual tangent as one might (I guess) in some philosophical discussion. But it came off as kind of creepy or ... weird. Maybe a tough question to answer, too. But they asked it, and that's what happened. Didn't help his campaign.

Don't piss off the press, either. Carter lost their support when he cut off the free food and drink for the White House pool. They couldn't believe it, thought it was a joke or something. Carter was serious about "cutting the budget" and was known as a really OCD kinda guy. Every windowshade at the WH had to be at the exact same height, uniformity, and he would check this to make sure.
Well after austerity measures were implemented, they revealed that the briefcase that Jimmy Earl was carrying so famously to work every day was - get this - Empty. He was just faking it.

And it's all going viral. But it also fits with trying to keep a picture alive of a party that is healthy and strong like ox, so people can look past Biden in a way, and look past what was on display. If that was a Republican last night looking like that, the Democrats would be out in force making him the scion and standard bearer of the Republican party, and assign all those negative qualities to it.
They still plan to make Trump the story of the election and then to steal whatever they can't convince. Based on this it's pretty clear to me that Trump is going on at least house arrest. But I wouldn't bet it. I'm 80% certain and that's not enough.

That's not that big a hole. A few dozen truckloads of fill would fix it. But I would want to survey the mine workings under the field to ensure that no more sinkholes can occur. If the mines is actively working that area, the best course of action might be to mine out everything they can under the field and the stands, let it all fall in, and then backfill back to surface, so that further collapses are impossible.
I am guessing they are mining limestone there.

I had a Biden moment this afternoon myself. I was putting "Freon" (R-134a) in the truck and car. The truck has a slow leak. It'll last a summer, then leak down over the winter. And the car was getting a bit not cool enough.
So, I get my gauge set out and hook it up. I hear it hiss as I connect it. But the gauges are reading zero. I stare at it for a minute, wondering WTF is wrong. Then I realized. I hooked it up wrong. The gauge manifold has these stud connectors on the back to "park" the hose ends when not in use (keeps dust out).
I got it mixed up and connected the wrong ends. The gauges were just open to air, and the hoses were connected to the blind stubs.
I'll blame the heat....

Referring to my generator? Honestly, I don't know if the fuse holders are soldered into the circuit or have screw terminals. I know I built up that particular genset from the pieces of two of them, maybe 20 years ago. I don't remember if the fuseholders were originally there or not. They are the round black Bakelite jobs that hold an AGC 20 fuse, and there are 3 of them. If they are soldered, I will resolder them. 20 years is a good run.

Alaska is a big place. The closest polar bear to my location is around 850 miles by road, somewhat shorter by air.
The Binky story is garbled just a bit. The first one was indeed a tourist who climbed over the fence to "get a good picture". She was hospitalized for a short time, but suffered no permanent damage.
The second one, sad to say, was a local. A group of young men were drinking, smoking dope, and daring each other to do stupid shit in the middle of the night, as young men have done since time immemorial.
Our future rocket scientist was dared to climb into the cage and go for a swim in Binky's pool.
He wound up winning a Darwin Award.
Not killed, but Binky's teeth ensured that his genes were edited from the human race.

Sounds like this "crevasse" is merely the surface expression of the rifting at the center of the mid-Atlantic ridge. Seems to me the best course of action would be to abandon the arena, and the town, as plate tectonics is the law around there. Move a few miles, so you are securely on one plate of the the other. Otherwise, it's like having one foot on the dock, and the other foot in the canoe.

NASA denies that profusely, I see. The leak was likely a parody, the supposed code name of the sex-in-space project was "STS-XXX".
Now, I'm pretty sure "things have happened" on those long term ISS stints, but I don't think anything was ever official.

So Commanders started putting a padlock on that thing as soon as they reached orbit, just in case a passenger, er "payload specialist" wigged out and tried to open the hatch in orbit. One less thing to worry about, so it was probably installed on every flight after that incident, not sure.

The parabolic vomit-comet maneuver is interesting. It's powered. It's pretty hard to do free fall in a atmosphere, air resistance and aerodynamic forces, of which an airplane is designed to use.
To do the zero-g (briefly, only), you have to make the aircraft follow a parabolic free-fall trajectory. It would not do this naturally. It requires powered flight maneuvers to follow that trajectory.
So, during that "zero-g" trajectory, the aircraft is experiencing all kinds of forces. The interior, briefly, will be in a free fall, zero-g, trajectory.

Just looked this up. There is apparently some commercial zero-g vomit-comet using some Airbus aircraft. It's a tourist thing. Pay to ride a zero-g experience.
It takes 3 men at the controls. Each man monitors one of the three axes. Get the accelerometer on your axis as close to zero as possible.
Well, it's not exactly that. One man does pitch, the other does roll, and the third does engine thrust and everything else.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 29, 2024 02:07 AM (w6EFb)
Here's the typical flight. You start climbing at just the right trajectory. When you get to the top, you then simulate a parabolic free-fall arc. You've got to keep the nose of the aircraft following that arc. And keep from rolling. And then you adjust engine speed to make sure you follow that parabola exactly.
You can only do 20 to 30 seconds of that zero-g trajectory. Anymore, and you'd get in trouble trying to pull out and level off.

On that Airbus "Zero-G", the leveling off pulls 1.8g. If you do more than the 20 - 30 seconds of zero-g trajectory, you pay for it in terms of the g's you're gonna pull levelling off.

All about blood pressure, flow and vasodilation, right? Young would probably be better than old, I would think. But maybe not. If you are a kid and get lightheaded standing up from lying down, probably not going to do too well.
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at June 29, 2024 02:23 AM (i4fVr)
Pretty much. There's also direction. You can stand more g's "lying down" that upside down. There's a reference there. Imagine you're sitting in a seat. Positive g is accelerating "up", ass in the seat.
In that orientation, positive g pulls the blood away from your head. Negative g pushes blood up into your head. This latter is bad. Blow out your eyeball capillaries and such.
Negative g is accelerating down, ass pulling off the seat. Then sideways g.
Humans can stand more positive g that negative or sideways. You can look that up. Anyway, the best position for pulling high g's in the "couch" the astronauts used. You're lying down, and the g is "down" relative to your plane of lying down.

I was looking this up. An untrained person can stand between 4 - 6 positive g's without blacking out (and this for "short" periods, not long term). Negative and sideways would be much less.
A trained person, with a g-suit, can stand 9g positive for the same short duration.

Off on the g tangent. Z-axis, head to toe, y-axis, sideways, left to right, x-axis, front to back, belly to spine.
G-tolerance is good along the x-axis. It's piss poor for negative z-axis, toe-to-head, blood pushed up to your head, a little better for y-axis, sideways, much better for positive z-axis.
So best position for pulling g's is lying down perpendicular to the direction of acceleration.

Also, got off on a tangent about the zero-g vomit-comet maneuver. The perfect such trajectory is symmetric about the apex. Here's how it goes. You're in level flight. Everyone is feeling 1g inside, as normal. You're at constant altitude, flying level. Lift is just cancelling gravity. Everybody's ass is being pulled down at 1g, just like sitting on the ground.
Now, you go nose up and start climbing. The perfect vomit-comet trajectory will be symmetric. You pull 1.8g in that climb. Now, at the right moment, you back off the throttle. You want the center of your aircraft to follow a perfect free-fall parabola.
During that backing off, you've got to keep the nose of the aircraft just so, pitch vs time, and you've got to keep the roll dead constant. Now, aerodynamic forces will be pushing down more that gravity, so you've got to keep thrusting up enough to just cancel that excess.
The center of the airplane must follow the free-fall parabola. But you've got to keep the nose pointed tangent that trajectory the whole time, otherwise some forces are going to buck you.
You get to the top of the parabola. If you kept the nose just right, you're now level...
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 29, 2024 03:39 AM (w6EFb)
Now, you're level. You've then got to go nose down, and start diving. You've got to now thrust down, as air resistance and lift is now bucking you. You want to keep the center of your aircraft on that perfect free-fall parabola.
Maintain pitch, and thrust downwards accordingly. And keep roll steady.
You follow that path until the symmetric point, and the level off, pulling 1.8gs to do so until you reach level flight at the same altitude you started your climb at.
That's the perfect vomit-comet trajectory.

I was bad to get car-sick as a kid. The trouble is your inner ear. That's sending signals to your brain about motion. Not a perfect 3-axis accelerometer by a long shot, but kinda-sorta. Your eyes are watching things. If your eyes are say looking at something relatively stationary inside the car, like reading a book or something, you've got problems.
Your ear and your eyes are in conflict with the signals they are sedning to your brain. That's the cause of the motion sickness.
When I'm doing the driving, there is no problem at all. Put me in the back seat, and that's the worst. I need to keep my eyes looking at where we're going, and see the bobbing and weaving, so's it agrees with my ears. Otherwise I get nauseous.
