Big factor for me is whether or not either of you have lived rural before.

I worked in a very remote medical center not too far from where you’re considering. I needed to send a patient to a hospital for a severe infection one of my first days there. Life flight refused because of winter weather. The ambulance driver came to me and quietly asked if the patient really needed to go today. After I told him yes it was striking to see them strap tire chains, shovels, and a generator to the exterior before leaving. They really weren’t sure they were going to get to town that night.

You miss out on many of the benefits of modern medicine when you’re in a town of less than 20,000, and you’ll need to be ok with driving for hours for specialist care in a city of less than 100,000.

I-80 in Wyoming closes so often for weather that they have permanently installed gates across all lanes.

That being said, an adventurous and self-reliant lifestyle is one of the best things you can do for your health and longevity. If you know what you are getting into and think this would help you thrive, I’d say go for it with the agreement that if health changes you will move back to a city.

Everyone in all groups also had an NSAID

History and the motivation to make money say you’re spot on. Despite that, I’m still happy to be opening up new pathways for pain reduction. I’m hoping for the best for this and other options.

I’m with you. A good 5+ year lag after FDA approval is a good idea if that’s an option. That being said, the FDA is generally good with drug safety and these studies look good.

The placebo control is key, and it was at least statistically better than placebo.

You’re right that it’s hard to tell if it is more or less effective than hydrocodone+acetaminophen but it’s good news either way because it can potentially reduce the use of opioids and be another option.

The linked memo states

except for assistance received directly by individuals.

I don’t know what this means. Nobody knows what this means. I work in a federal agency. The instructions coming down are vague and even self-conflicting but threaten severe consequences if not exactly followed.

Oh. Wow.

Quick, everybody down vote op for asking a question

Fun!

Still trying to figure out exactly what was wrong about what he did. A linked article says:

“…the defendant violated the Lacey Act that restricts wildlife trafficking and prohibits the sale of falsely labeled wildlife.”

I guess specifically bringing embryos/sperm of a banned animal into Montana, more than the cloning operation.

Bought a new keyboard a few weeks ago. Had function keys set to alternative hot keys. Only way Logitech offered to change that was to download their “options+” software. Don’t remember for sure, but the final download size was MASSIVE. The software included AI tools, but had bare minimal settings options. It added support for additional gestures on the keyboard’s track pad, but made the track pad jittery. Made the fn key switch, then uninstalled the software. The setting change didn’t stick once the utility was gone.

Returned the keyboard. So excited for the day when my shoelaces and sunglasses require an Internet connection.
