State of the Game

Yea on the whole ssri's are not fun and I speak from personal experience on some of the milder ones.

The worst I ever had to deal with is Clozapine. That stuff is really tricky requiring blood tests and making sure the patients take the right dose.

You can still eat too much healthy fat though- regardless if its good or bad fats if you eat too much (which are calorific regardless) your body will store that as glycogen in muscles (if I recall) and fat , and you will chonk up.

You can eat too much of anything, yes. Even too much water will apparently kill you. Though I refuse to believe that any human is actually capable of consuming the quantity that would be required!

I don't even know who Pat Butcher is so I'll pretend she's Bea Arthur.

Not many people can handle being as awesome as me, so that's understandable.

I read a story recently where a man was fired from his workplace when during a trainer seminar on how to deal with an active shooter he asked what's to stop an active shooter from flicking the fire alarm and lying in wait for victims at the evacuation point.

seems like there would have to be more to that story to result in a firing.

Not EVEN close! Try again...

Actually not far off - but probably more Rue McClanahan

He was new to the company but you're right there is always more to a story.

Or maybe I'm misremembering my 90's Eastenders...

I've known a few people who would be ideal clinical subjects

Plus don't get me flustered with Velma, that case does her no favours.

Why do I always feel like there is only one true commandment?

"Thou shall never have enough time for all the things thou finds interesting and wants to do."

Nah - people have drowned from too much water. Lots of cases about it because of a fad: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/drinking-much-water-killed-14-5976264

Now, it's the Mirror, so take with a pinch of salt. Not as much as the sun and definitely not the bucket load you need with the Star...

death by water is entirely real. happened on a radio show challenge on the air maybe a decade ago to get a ps3 or something back when those were brand new.

It doesn't require an inhuman amount ... the water isn't what kills you, it's what the water does to your internal salt levels. Tanking your salt and various mineral levels to levels that shut down certain biochemical processes.

Happens way too often. Though it seems harmless enough beforehand.

yeah, but it just isn't - if you drink too much pure water, the salt content in your body will decrease and this can kill you - it is even called water-poisoning.

the same is true if you drink salted water - like ocean water - it will dehydrate you.

btw I posted that video about korean egg rolls before - I made some experiments with it's principle and came to the conclusion, that there are many ways to create quite delicious side dishes using the basic method of either rolling or folding like shown in the video - folding creates quite nice omelettes, which can be filled layer by layer with different stuff - it is really some kind of ornamentation, which one can do with these basic techniques, especially if it is in the end cut into pieces, which can easily be picked up with chopsticks.
