2023.06.09 10:14 communist-crapshoot The Claires *are* social democrats *not* secret communists and seizing the harbor was not in itself a revolutionary act. It's long past time fans stop lying to themselves and start engaging with the Marxist "ruthless criticism of all that exists" at the core of the game, as was always intended.
Let me preface this lecture by stating that I *am* a communist and have been for over a decade and that before I can get into what I think the Claires are supposed to represent I need to address why Kurvitz & Co. chose a videogame as the preferred medium for their metafiction. The reason Disco Elysium was made the way it was wasn't simply to entertain people with the funny antics of an alcoholic, superstar, hobo cop or to strive towards critical acclaim so the game would sell better. It wasn't even a game made by communists for communists (I mean it was made by communists it's just not preaching to the choir as much as some might think). In fact it's quite the opposite. The story was injected with nihilistic humor and offered up to the general public in the form of a video game to sugar the pill so to speak. That's because Disco Elysium is, at its core, a highly controversial political treatise and social critique "disguised" as a video game. This was so as to get as many people as possible to actually engage with its core messages instead of reflexively rejecting or ignoring them the way they would've if those messages had been presented in the format of non-fiction literature. To put it bluntly the main message of the game is how self delusion reinforces the very things it seeks to escape whether those be personal problems like loneliness or societal ones like the anxiety inducing political limbo of Revachol/the real world. Included in the delusions of a political nature Kurvitz wanted people to confront were many held by the bulk of the contemporary left. Sadly, judging by what I often see in this sub, the results of this novel approach at polemics has been mixed.
I have to admit it's disheartening to see how many fans of the game only engaged with that social and political criticism to the extent that it was leveled at their political enemies, especially when the "authorial intent" was to confront players who might delude themselves about the future implications, present realities and/or history of their own real life politics, whatever they may be. In some cases this ignorance is forgivable; it's easy to miss subtext in a game that's so text based that it has a habit of spelling things out for you and tbf many of the allusions to real life figures, events and ideas are subtle and without a solid grasp of 20th century European history and theoretical Marxism most of the satirical references will go over a typical player's head. What's not forgivable is how many people in this sub are in denial of or otherwise consciously rationalize the criticisms of their own side presented by the writers of DE. I'll get around to how centrists and right-libertarians are guilty of this in future posts but for right now I want to address "my comrades" because, frankly, some of you scare me with your naiveté, hyper-partisanship and blithe hand waving of corruption and needless violence.
Now there are two kinds of leftists I often see who want to view Evrart as a crypto-communist figure and despite being polar opposites in most respects they have two things in common: they're both childishly naive and they're both in denial about the realities of how vicious social democracy can be in practice. The first leftist is a social democrat who thinks that because Evrart is a machiavellian strongman figure that he must be an expy of Stalin and/or Mao (who in their minds are genuine representatives of communism) because "never, ever would a real social democrat do such things, after all we're unassuming trade unionists who want nothing more than to work things out democratically, through the existing system!" The second leftist is a communist who thinks that because Evrart is a machiavellian strongman figure that he must be an expy of Stalin and/or Mao (who in their minds are genuine representatives of communism) because "never, ever would a real social democrat do such things, after all they're unassuming trade unionists who want nothing more than to work things out democratically, through the existing system!"
The truth of course is that prejudices aside Evrart is a social democrat AND a tyrannical strongman. As for his plan to seize the harbor, while it's certainly threatening to Wild Pines' bottom line, the RCM's authority and the union's enemies in Martinaise, it does not in any way pose a genuine revolutionary threat to the capitalist system as a whole and, as weird as it may sound, is still reliant on working within the existing system. After all the union didn't seize the means of production in an armed rebellion against the capitalist state so much as Wild Pines legally handed over some of its corporate property to the union to avoid the bad PR of the merc tribunal which in the end was only tangentially related to the strike. By the end of HBD's investigation all that has changed for the (surviving) workers of Martinaise Harbour Terminal B is their employer. They went from being the unionized employees of the Wild Pines Group under which they had to smuggle drugs in secret to get by to becoming members of a de jure workers' co-operative under the Claires' control where they can now smuggle drugs more openly. That's it. Is that better for them? Maybe, probably, but even so they're still reliant on a global system based on commodity production and exchange and the selling of their labor power (and hardcore drugs) for money, they've just cut out a few middlemen so to speak. Once the strike is officially declared over La Puta Madre's henchmen, not the soldiers of the Coalition, are going to be the union's most immediate threat. Wild Pines itself probably isn't even that hurt by Evrart's plan as the value of what was lost in revenue and real estate can be mitigated by the amount the company will save from no longer having 2,000 + employees on its payroll every quarter.
Oh and to those pragmatists who think Evrart is just a well intentioned man willing to step up and get his hands dirty for the sake of his fellow workers because no one else would or as Call Me Mañana puts it "The old man is corrupt for our benefit" this next part is for you. We know from interviews that Evrart was partially inspired by the character of Frank Sobotka from the second season of the HBO hit TV series The Wire. That said Evrart is in many ways a sort of anti-Sobotka insofar as he's not just reluctantly working with mafiosos; he *is* a mafioso. If you haven't already seen The Wire you need to stop reading this and go watch it to not only understand my next point but because it's literally the best TV show ever made. For those who have seen The Wire I'm 100% certain you'll agree with me that neither of the two hypothetical leftists from earlier could seriously claim that Sobotka was a secret communist or anything other than a reformist labor leader even though he's guilty of most of the same things that supposedly make crypto-commies of the Claires. I also don't think anyone who's seen the show would strongly hate Frank for getting involved in those criminal dealings the way they would the Claires even if some might still think both are wrong for having done so. Most importantly I don't think anyone who's seen all of season two of The Wire and played Disco Elysium to completion would ever claim that the Claires cared more about the Martinaise dockers than the Sobotka family did the stevedores of Locust Point, Baltimore. So what explains the gulf between the two unionistas (besides murder)? Why was it less bad when Frank Sobotka engaged in labor racketeering than when Evrart and Edgar did it? It's simple really, Frank Sobotka demonstrated more authentic labor solidarity, internal conflict, selflessness and above all self awareness than the Claire brothers ever did.
So to summarize: the Claires are written as a counter to those players who have what Lenin called trade union consciousness (meaning social democrats, progressives and center-left, reform minded liberals) who think that the problems of capitalism can be solved simply by increasing the number of trade unions, by legally incorporating more worker co-ops, by expanding strike funds, etc., in a word, reformism. Additionally DE's writers, who're communists, want to knock reformists off their high horses so as to get them to stop lying to themselves and recognize that there is corruption, hypocrisy, violence and even a small presence of incipient fascism in many real life unions, both past and present, and that existing reformist movements, organizations, etc. are just as susceptible to being hijacked by populist demagogues as revolutionary ones are/have been and moreover that they're not always the politically correct, morally unimpeachable, nonviolent alternatives to revolution that they present themselves as. In the end class conflict and its resulting violence goes on whether anyone wants it to or not. It can be and often is a totally subconscious process driven by need at both the individual and group levels. That said the longer class conflict goes on without being consciously directed towards the abolishment of the socioeconomic system whose inherent contradictions bring it into being in the first place, the more chaotic it will become until the point where the mutual ruin of the competing classes is all but guaranteed as a result.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful NicheEvery day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.
Phase 2) Content StrategyThere is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:
Phase 3) Crafting Your OfferMost people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.
Phase 4) Marketing StrategyYou aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).
Bonus) The Creator Command CenterThe Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.Bonus) Live Product Build & LaunchIn the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work. |

2023.06.09 07:35 Zagaroth [No Need For A Core?] - CH 092: The Enclaves
Cover Art <<Previous Start Next >>
Each faction was going to need an encampment, and Mordecai decided to start there. He placed each one on opposite sides of the cavern at its widest point, approximately midway between the entrance and exit. He’d sculpted the cavern to have interesting terrain, so the widest point was a touch off of the center.
He was only going to do part of the work for the encampments, leaving the customization to the laganthros who would be playing the parts. For the moment he started by clearing out a circle of terrain for each side, with half of the circle being carved out of the wall behind them and the other half being out front. The sub-caverns created this way were 20 feet tall, giving them plenty of room to build as they liked.
Now he created small gardens for a new set of mushrooms, special breeds for use as items. The first set of cultivated fungi had their use based off of their normal appearance:
Broad-capped mushrooms were reinforced and designed to be readily broken off to be used as shields. A variant of Morels whose craggy nooks could be used as shelving, trumpet-shaped mushrooms that could be used for a limited time to greatly amplify shouted words, bell-shaped mushrooms that would actually chime when a living creature approached, squat trunk mushrooms that could be grown small or large to act as stools or tables, plus some cupped shaped ones that could easily become actual cups or bowls. He would create more as requested, he couldn’t think of everything himself that others might need, but the goal was to make it so that the two factions had almost everything they needed to equip themselves and to build.
Mordecai ventured further afield with his next set of mushrooms for gardening however. The living crystal had given him an idea when he’d considered the problem of making normally metal items. The mushrooms in this field grew in a variety of shapes but were very heavily infused with living crystals and all grew in spreading patterns. The outer heads are where the crystal would concentrate the most, eventually causing them to crack off on the outermost edge. The resulting material could be knapped much like flint or obsidian to a razor-sharp edge, but over the next couple of days would harden to a toughness more like that of nephrite, i.e. true jade. Jadeite was the more common stone called jade because of its similar appearance, but it was not quite as tough or as hard as nephrite.
It wouldn’t cover everything metal could do, but would be more than sufficient for making weapons if napped, or for anything from art to tools if shaped only after it was fully hardened. Empires could be founded without advanced metallurgy if they had access to even normal nephrite, let alone what could be done with this crystal.
He also altered some mushrooms to sit more ‘in between’. With a more lightweight infusion of crystal for structural support, it was not hard to create fungi whose various parts could be used as raw construction material, whether akin to ropes or materials that could act like wood, if a touch spongier.
Now that he had raw materials down, it was time to call in his troops. Most of them were simply going to be the strongest of the laganthros in their respective specialties, though he did have a couple of additions to make.
The right side encampment was the easiest to assign, calling up some ‘light cavalry’ mounted on polecats, and some aerial cavalry in the form of mages mounted on dracobits, with scouting/infantry support from rangers bonded to caracals.
The left side he gave to ‘heavy infantry’, though he had to make their mounts first. The Riverbridge gifts and trades came in handy here as there had been some farm animals included, and before long he had his porcini boars. And he had them live up to the pun too, growing the squat mushrooms from their thick hide and fur, forming a natural saddle shape as well as extra protection for both the boar and the rider. It was admittedly a more outlandish hybridization than, say, an owl bear, but at least he’d be able to adjust and fix any issues that cropped up.
For support, he gave them various rabbats as ‘falconry’, providing both scouts and an aerial force, and sharpshooters of both archery and gun varieties. The guns were one of the few things that absolutely had to be made out of metal, he couldn’t find a way to reinforce any form of crystal to withstand the shock pressure of the firing chamber. Maybe as a deeper dungeon they could create a heavily enchanted crystal if they wanted to, but it didn’t seem worth the effort.
And the final creation for this level he made as support for both sides, though purely defensively. To take the place of guard dogs, he altered and enlarged some badgers, creating two colonies of Giant Badgers. He only had to alter their base personalities a little, most badgers were quite capable of being social and of being aggressively defensive, he just had to tighten up their pack bonding and ability to work in groups. He also made sure that they were completely immune to all fungal spores and toxins to be found in this dungeon, which also gave them a general boost against toxins and diseases. Dungeon creatures may not have to eat, but it feels natural for them to do so and he wanted to fit them in here with the ability to eat any mushrooms.
Once he was certain that everything was settled well enough, he met with the leaders of his two factions in the safe-space camping spot at the level’s entrance.
“So, what do you think of your enclaves?” Was what he started with, and that led to a couple of hours of discussions, questions, and answers. When all that was settled, Mordecai moved on to making sure everyone was on the same page concerning rules.
“I want this to be a bit more free form than what we’ve done before. You don’t absolutely have to fight any dungeon challengers, but you do have to play the part of a warring party on high alert and be highly suspicious of intruders.” He grinned at them. “If you need to, you can take some acting lessons from your cousins on the third floor. Might make for a good part of that training exchange I set up previously. But you don’t have to let them pass by either. You can deny them passage, you can demand tribute, you can form alliances, or otherwise act how you like. This should all be very dynamic. The only rule I make absolute for you and yours is that this zone right here is a safe space for them. Mind, I am only being so nice here, the ‘wildlife’ won’t be burdened by that obligation, but generally won’t have a reason to attack this location anyway.”
“And when there aren’t any challengers?” Asked one of the troop captains.
“Mostly up to you for the details, I just want at least some of you to be training against each other most days. You’ve been very diligent in forming your own schedules before, I don’t see any reason to change that now. But I’ll let you know if I spot anything I think can be improved on. Similarly, I expect you to let me know if there is anything I can improve. I think I’ve balanced your forces, the forest is heavy enough to keep the mages and dracobits from dominating the battlefield, but if your battle practice shows that I need to change that balance, I want you to tell me.”
The rabbit folk talked with each other for a bit, then when they had reached a consensus turned back to him. “We’re satisfied with this new role my lord. There are a few who have decided they aren’t quite comfortable here after all, but we can find some other recruits to fill their spots so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Excellent. Oh, one final thing, as a default no one is to support the boss fight.” Which was a change from most of the previous floors. “The exception is if your enclave is assaulted. If that happens and you survive, then you should rally at the final chamber for the floor and support the boss or bosses.”
“Oh, what do you have planned for our bosses?” Came the excited query.
Mordecai smiled. “Well, I’ll show you before too long. For now, you should know that they are not going to start out the brightest and could be hazardous if you get too close, so be very careful if you do end up supporting them. And their names will be Sarcomaag and Klastoria.”
“What is up with those names?” Kazue’s voice asked in his head.
“I’m just having some fun messing around with relevant words.” he replied before focusing back on the faction leaders. “I think they’ll be an interesting new challenge for people who get this far.”
.
While the two dungeon cores had fun finally building out their fifth level, the rest of the world continued about its business. Their wife was finishing her preparations to come back home and bring Kazue’s father with her, including a quick side shopping trip that she was very careful to not let them in on, which was much easier to do while they were distracted.
Traveling south from the capital city was a merchant caravan with a champion as part of its escort. They moved slowly of course, but by the time they had to start setting up camp the last spires of the city’s central keep were lost over the horizon behind them.
News of their existence was beginning to spread in earnest now, and some of that news even managed to get their names right. The oddness of a dual-core was going to stir curiosity at the least, but it was Mordecai’s name that would serve as the biggest catalyst for making their life more interesting, in differing measures of good and ill.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful NicheEvery day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.
Phase 2) Content StrategyThere is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:
Phase 3) Crafting Your OfferMost people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.
Phase 4) Marketing StrategyYou aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).
Bonus) The Creator Command CenterThe Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.Bonus) Live Product Build & LaunchIn the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work. |

A healthy diet is crucial to your overall health and not just for weight loss. In my Ayurveda & Holistic Nutrition practice in Sarnia, I see many clients experimenting with multitudes of diets - Keto, Vegan, Paleo in order to lose weight or get healthy.
But often the crash dieting, yo-yo dieting or eating inaccurately (without considering your bodies requirements) leads to a lot of nutrient deprivation, lowered metabolism, muscle moss, fatigue, water retention and dehydration etc.
Food is the medicine and when used wisely can really support your body.
According to Ayurveda, Ahara or the food that you eat is one of the three important pillars on which your health rests. In simple words it means that your food is the very foundation of your health, how harmonious your body systems work together and how happy you are can also be determined through food.
A simple example of disharmony in the body can be understood by the food allergies and food sensitivities we see today. 8 out of 10 clients that see me, suffer from various food allergies and sensitivities to gluten, dairy, wheat, corn, soy, etc and this shows that their body is out of balance and harmony.
Our life revolves as well as evolves according to food that we eat.
Food is essential to our life and since humans can’t make our own food in our body, like plants, we have to eat food to provide us with energy. The food you eat makes each and every cell of your body and also affects your mind. Thus, nutritionally deficient foods will create a body that is weak vs nutritionally dense foods will support your body growth and create a body that is strong and resilient against aging and diseases. The food that you eat impacts your thoughts, behaviors, emotions and mood by influencing your mind - thus the food that you eat can make you calm, centered and balanced or anxious, irritable and depressed.
So how do you understand whether your diet/ nutritional plan is working for you or not?
You are not at a healthy weight
If you are struggling with gaining/ losing weight and following a diet/ nutritional plan without any results, this is the biggest indicator or your diet is failing you. Often people fall prey to trendy diets like keto, paleo, vegan or green smoothie diet. While these diets can actually work for you if they are custom tailored by using Ayurvedic principles by an experienced Ayurvedic doctor, following these without understanding your own body can create issues like muscle loss, loss of nutrients or excess fat gain.
Physical and mental fatigue
The food you eat is responsible for providing you with both physical as well as mental energy you require for daily activities. So if you are experiencing body and/or mental fatigue it could be a sign that your diet is deficient in essential nutrients that support your body. Often a restrictive diets aggravate Vata dosha in the long term and can significantly lower your energy levels.
You struggle with focus and concentrationOften food allergies and sensitivities, excess yeast growth aka Candida or a diet deficient in nutrients especially B vitamins can cause you to lack the focus and concentration required in day to day life. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame, food additives like food dyes, flavours and preservatives can contribute to hyperactivity and other symptoms of ADHD which can lower your focus and concentration.
Your skin lacks the lustre and toneYour skin is one of the biggest reflectors of health. If you are struggling with constant breakouts, acne, lacklustre skin that is wrinkly or hyper pigmented, the reason could be a faulty diet.Often poor diets will also make you lose the tone of your muscles as well as skin and cause skin to sag easily.
Your hair is dry, brittle or greying prematurelyHealthy, shiny lustrous hair often has more to do with a good diet, than the use of hair care products. And if you are finding your hair to be dry, brittle almost like the witches broom or prematurely grey, the reason is your diet is failing to provide the essential nutrients like Calcium, Phosphorus as well as collagen required for healthy hair.
You are struggling with digestive issues bloated and gassyConstant bloating and gas indicates an inability to digest the foods you are eating. If you follow a fad diet, which could often be full of the foods that you are sensitive to eg- excess dairy consumption in ketogenic diets or excess reliance on wheat gluten in vegan diet could result in signs of digestive distress like diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramps, undigested food in stool
You get sick easily
Are you constantly sick? Suffering from bouts of cold, flu, and recurrent infections? Well a poor diet often lowers your immunity making you prone to catching every cold and flu bug out there. If you have been sick more than 2-3 times a year for over 2 years it's time to get a reality check and sit with an Ayurvedic doctor to discuss what is causing your recurrent health issues.
Your body and mind are made from what you eat, so don't be fast, easy, cheap or fake.
This is something to be aware of, as in our fast paced life today, fast foods that are cheaper than fresh foods are on the rise. We eat quickly, foods that are prepared instantly and we find relief in filling the stomach and senses rather than nourishing and energizing the body. Protein shakes are taken as ‘fillers’, granola bars have replaced a well planned lunch and nutrition has become more of a means of calorie counting than actually nourishing our bodies. Often this is what can disconnect you from your body, mind and eventually from your health. So make a conscious choice every time you put something in your mouth or plan a specific diet.

2023.06.09 05:21 btarb24 How to repair an EVGA x15 scroll wheel
 | The x15 seems notorious for the scroll wheel failing and sometimes scrolling in the wrong direction. Some suggest turning it upside down and rolling the wheel on your desk. This may work temporarily, but the real fix is cleaning the contacts of the scroll wheel sensor (aka rotary encoder). I had two bad x15s and the cleaning repair worked perfectly on both. submitted by btarb24 to EVGA [link] [comments] Total time: ~ 20 minutes Materials: tiny screw driver, sharp razor blade, q-tip, rubbing alcohol
ALTERNATIVE - you can just replace the sensor entirely rather than taking it apart and cleaning it. They're around $5. The original brand was TTC. They come in various millimeter sizes and i'm not sure which one is correct, perhaps the yellow/orange center hole specifies the size? start on inside edge. avoid using your fingertips - be sure to thoroughly wash hands if you want to reuse them and plan on touching the adhesive. unplug the wire before removing the wheel slice the 4 plastic circles off flush with the metal with a razor blade lift off the back plate then gently lift off detent spring note all the grime on the contacts. Clean it well. one more pic just to show detent wheel for those that are curious squeaky clean. so much dirt for such a little thing. use something to hold the backing plate firmly in place before melting the plastic. this one needed a small bit of filing to fit back into the mouse |
2023.06.09 04:53 HowNowBrownCow82 Thoughts of this stain job? Any way to correct?
 | Homeowner here, we’re going through a huge $200k+ insurance claim that resulted in new hardwoods throughout the house. There are several spots that the stain is dark…this is likely due to poor sanding, right? The photos above are the 3 worst spots. Other spots are near edges of the room. submitted by HowNowBrownCow82 to HardWoodFloors [link] [comments] What’s your professional opinion? Should we ask them to sand & restain? Anything to correct this without a full restain? |
2023.06.09 04:40 Emotional-Disaster45 FTM positive birth story - unmedicated, birth center, midwife
Went into labor 40w2d. FTM.
I woke up at 3:30 AM to my cat moving from cuddling near my chest, to cuddling my womb. It was a very intentional move on her part to shift there, and I didn’t think anything of it till I felt a period-like cramp. I got up to go to the bathroom, and while I was peeing, I felt a tiny little pop and out came some drops of blood and a good chunk of my mucus plug! I woke up my husband and told him “I think this is it,” got myself a snack & coconut water, and decided to try to go back to bed. I kept feeling that really uncomfortable period-like cramping, which made it impossible for fall back asleep.
At 4:10 AM, my water broke. I felt a tiny gush and then proceeded to start leaking. After some time, the contractions were way too uncomfortable to sleep in-between, or even lie down in-between, no matter how hard I tried. I used a heating pad to try to bring relief. I knew this was labor & I really wanted to get rest in the early stage.
At some point, I was having to focus entirely on my breathing & I stopped being able to stand or sit through the contractions, and had to get on hands & knees to work through them. I was having to vocalize through them & could no longer have normal conversation in-between. I insisted to my husband a few times that I was in active labor and needed to go to the birth center, but the contraction app kept saying that I was only in early labor, because my contractions only lasted about 30-45 seconds, even though they were approximately 3min apart. Finally, I hit a point where I needed to get in the shower to get some relief from the contractions. I told my husband that I didn’t care what the contraction timer said, I needed him to call my midwife and we needed to go to the birth center. So he called her, packed up the car, and we left.
As soon as I got to the birth center and got into the room, I immediately had to go down on hands & knees again for another contraction. My midwife checked baby’s heart rate, my vitals, and checked for dilation. 4 CM. It was so empowering knowing that despite the contraction timer telling me I was only in early labor, I trusted my body and my intuition & I was indeed in active labor! My midwife said she was glad I came in when I did.
I ideally wanted a water birth, but my midwife said that we should wait for the tub until a little later on, when my contractions were feeling more intense. So I worked through contractions by leaning over the bed. I used a comb, focused on my breathing, and moved my hips & had low tone vocalizations. Eventually as they got stronger, I went into the shower.
My husband made me a little make shift bed in the shower with towels & knee mats so I could lay down in-between contractions & try to find some rest. I had no real concept of time during labor, so I have no idea how long I stayed in there. At some point, my midwife decided based on how I was vocalizing & acting during contractions that it was time to fill the tub up.
Some of the contractions were incredibly intense. I couldn’t stay still through my contractions - I had to move around with each one. My midwife commented that it was like I was dancing through labor because of my constant movement! At the end of every contraction, it felt like I had just completed a super intense work out. I was feeling really tired. I tried to have some coconut water and little bites of food to keep up my energy.
Getting in the tub felt so good. We had some moments of laughter in-between contractions when the birth assistant multiple times accidentally sprayed us with water when trying to finish filling up the tub. I loved that despite the intensity of labor, it was really such a joyful and peaceful and non-stressful environment.
Eventually I had a noticeable emotional shift (started crying a lot), and that, combined with the level of intensity of contractions, made everyone think I was in transition. My midwife had not checked my dilation since arriving at the birth center (I had declined), but based on how I was acting/the noises I was making during contractions, she encouraged me to start playing around with pushing.
I loved the feeling of the water but my husband noticed & commented that it definitely limited my movement. My midwife agreed and encouraged me to get out of the tub. I went to a birth stool and tried to push, but my body physically would not. I even remember saying, “I don’t know how to push, I don’t understand.” I kept insisting that my body could not do it, and I was so discouraged. My midwife asked again if I wanted to be checked to see if I was actually past transition, and this time I agreed. When she checked, I was only 7-8 CM, so not fully dilated. No wonder I couldn’t push! Once again, I felt validated knowing I could trust my body, and my intuition about my body not being through transition & not being ready to push was correct.
During transition, this is where my memory gets fuzzy. I was deep in labor land. Contractions were like waves crashing over and over me again, and I felt like I couldn’t come up for air sometimes because of how close together they were. I know I went back to the shower for awhile, and eventually made my way onto the bed. I had every intention of getting back in the tub (I think they even filled it up again for me) but I didn’t ever make it off that bed. I was making intense primal noises, grunting/screaming, & moving so much during each contraction. I broke the comb I was holding, I was knocking things over, ripping the covers on the bed - and not fully being aware of any of it. I remember thinking that I was envious of people who got epidurals and didn’t have to deal with transition. I reminded myself, “the only way out is through,” and “all this intensity is coming FROM you, it’s not something bad happening TO you.”

2023.06.09 04:32 ELITER_Packaging Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Packaging: What are the Differences?
 | Packaging is an essential aspect of product delivery and marketing. It plays a vital role in protecting products from damage, preserving their quality, and promoting their brand image. There are three main types of packaging: primary, secondary, and tertiary. In this article, we will discuss each type of packaging and its importance in the product distribution process. submitted by ELITER_Packaging to u/ELITER_Packaging [link] [comments] Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Packaging Primary PackagingPrimary packaging is the first layer of packaging that comes into direct contact with the product. It is the most critical packaging as it protects the product from physical, chemical, and biological hazards. The primary package is also responsible for maintaining the product's freshness, flavor, and aroma. Primary packaging can be made from various materials such as glass, plastic, metal, or paperboard, depending on the product's nature and intended use.The primary package must fit the product perfectly to prevent leakage, contamination, or breakage. It must also provide clear information about the product's contents, usage instructions, and any safety warnings. The design of the primary package should be attractive and eye-catching to attract customers' attention and differentiate the product from competitors. Primary Packaging Examples of primary packaging include bottles, jars, tubes, pouches, cans, and blister packs. Each type of primary package has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, glass bottles are elegant and preserve the product's flavor, but they are fragile and heavy. Plastic bottles are lightweight and shatterproof, but they may affect the product's taste and quality. In summary, primary packaging is crucial for protecting the product and conveying vital information to the consumer. The right choice of primary packaging material and design can significantly impact the product's success in the market. Secondary PackagingSecondary packaging refers to the outer layer of packaging that holds the primary packages together. Its primary function is to facilitate the handling, transportation, and storage of the products. Secondary packaging can also provide additional protection to the primary package and enhance the product's aesthetic appeal. Secondary Packaging The secondary package is typically made from cardboard, paperboard, or corrugated fiberboard. It can take various forms, such as boxes, cartons, trays, sleeves, or wraps. The design of the secondary package should be sturdy enough to withstand rough handling during transportation and storage. It should also be easy to open and dispose of, without damaging the primary package or the product inside. Secondary packaging plays a critical role in branding and marketing. It is often the first point of contact between the customer and the product. Therefore, the design of the secondary package should reflect the product's brand image, values, and target audience. It should also provide essential information about the product's features, benefits, and usage instructions. Examples of secondary packaging include retail boxes, multipacks, shipping cartons, and display cases. Each type of secondary package has its unique features and benefits. Secondary packaging can be automated by packaging machines by eliter-packaging.com, which is a manufacturer of versatile secondary packaging equipment. For instance, retail boxes are designed to attract customers' attention on store shelves and promote impulse buying. Multipacks offer convenience and value for money to customers who need to buy products in bulk. In summary, secondary packaging is crucial for facilitating the handling, transportation, and storage of products. It can also enhance the product's brand image and marketing appeal. Tertiary PackagingTertiary packaging refers to the outermost layer of packaging that protects the products during distribution and logistics. Its primary function is to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of the products from the manufacturer to the retailer or end-user. Tertiary packaging is usually made from robust materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. It can take various forms, such as pallets, crates, containers, or bags. Tertiary Packaging The design of tertiary packaging should consider the specific requirements of the supply chain, such as weight, size, and stacking capacity. It should also comply with international shipping standards and regulations to avoid delays, damages, or losses. Tertiary packaging can also provide additional protection to the products from weather, theft, or tampering. Tertiary packaging is essential for reducing logistics costs and improving supply chain efficiency. It enables manufacturers to transport large volumes of products in a single shipment, reducing the number of trips required and minimizing fuel consumption. Tertiary packaging can also facilitate the handling and storage of products in warehouses and distribution centers, saving time and labor costs. Examples of tertiary packaging include pallets, crates, bulk containers, and shrink-wrapped bundles. Each type of tertiary package has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, pallets are cost-effective and easy to handle, but they require additional protective wrapping to prevent damage during transit. Bulk containers offer maximum volume and protection, but they are more expensive and difficult to handle than other types of tertiary packaging. In summary, tertiary packaging is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of products from the manufacturer to the end-user. It can reduce logistics costs and improve supply chain efficiency while providing additional protection to the products. Difference between Primary Packaging and Secondary PackagingPrimary packaging and secondary packaging are two different types of packaging used for products.Primary packaging is the first layer of packaging that comes into direct contact with the product. It is designed to protect, contain, and preserve the product during transportation, storage, and handling. Primary packaging can be made from a variety of materials such as plastic, glass, metal, or paperboard. Examples of primary packaging include bottles, jars, tubes, cans, and pouches. Secondary packaging, on the other hand, is the outer layer of packaging that surrounds the primary packaging. Its purpose is to provide additional protection, branding, and convenience for consumers. Secondary packaging can also be used to group several primary packages together for easier handling and transportation. Examples of secondary packaging include cardboard boxes, shrink wrap, and blister packs. Difference between Primary Packaging and Tertiary PackagingPrimary packaging, also known as the first-level packaging, is the packaging that directly encloses the product. It is the layer of packaging that is in direct contact with the product and is designed to protect, preserve, and contain it. Examples of primary packaging include bottles, cans, jars, blister packs, and bags.On the other hand, tertiary packaging, also known as the third-level packaging, is the packaging that is used for transportation and handling of the products. It is designed to protect the primary and secondary packaging during shipping and distribution. Tertiary packaging can include pallets, crates, boxes, and other containers used for bulk transport. In summary, primary packaging is the packaging that directly holds and protects the product, while tertiary packaging is the packaging that is used to transport and handle multiple units of the product. The secondary packaging, which is also called the second-level packaging, refers to the packaging that groups several individual units of a product together Difference between Secondary Packaging and Tertiary PackagingSecondary packaging, also known as the second-level packaging, is the packaging that holds together multiple units of a product for retail display or sale. It is designed to protect and contain the primary packaging during distribution and handling. Examples of secondary packaging include cardboard boxes, shrink wrap, and display trays.Tertiary packaging, on the other hand, is the packaging that is used for transportation and handling of products in bulk quantities. It is designed to protect both primary and secondary packaging during shipping and distribution. Examples of tertiary packaging include pallets, stretch wrap, and shipping containers. In the ENDIn conclusion, primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging are essential components of product distribution and marketing. Each type of packaging plays a unique role in protecting the product, facilitating its handling and transportation, and promoting its brand image. The right choice of packaging material and design can significantly impact the product's success in the market. Therefore, manufacturers should carefully consider their packaging needs and options to ensure the best outcomes for their products and customers. |

I have written and rewritten this post a few times now and I think I have landed on a format I am happy with. When we talk about the impact of medicine on history its important to get the context right, and I think I have found a way to talk about our topic. So what is it? No chemical is more important to the world of medicine than Opium, okay maybe Penicillin, but today we will say its Opium. Principally an analgesic (anti-pain), the Opium Poppy allowed for humans to take away pain in great degrees and further development on the natural chemicals has opened up surgery and post-op recovery. While we tend to look at the recent Opioid Epidemic as the only issue regarding Opiates, history reveals to us a very similar precursor. Also please head over to u/jtjdp post about morphine derivatives here! She does an amazing job explaining the higher level concepts of medicinal chemistry that I just wouldn’t do justice. Alright, enough quibbling, let’s get to the good stuff. submitted by Bubzoluck to SAR_Med_Chem [link] [comments] Disclaimer: this post is not designed to be medical advice.

Please talk to your doctor about starting, stopping, or changing medical treatment. How Much do you Know About Pain?To be alive is to feel pain, and emo sentiments aside, this is one of the biggest biological properties of the central nervous system. When you think about it, how does the body take external stimuli and allow you to recognize it? The answer is the sensory nervous system which is responsible for sensing many different types of stimuli: temperature, pressure, pain, and chemicals. These sensory neurons carry the information from the extremities and transmit it up the spinal cord into the brain for processing. From there the brain alerts you to the issue allowing you to correct whatever problem is causing the pain. Let’s take a look: https://preview.redd.it/36yiuubbjw4b1.png?width=660&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8dc870ed6d879d67dce1eb126b86ba5acb9bc69

The Stars Align in the Shape of a Poppyhttps://preview.redd.it/nfygsi0hjw4b1.png?width=731&format=png&auto=webp&s=60c0b13cdad3d7b7b64f78d6294465f081839f61 To start our story about Opiates we need to turn to the great precursor—Opium. Opium itself is not a chemical but rather a really thick liquor (called latex) that contains a high concentration of Morphine (and some Codeine). There are 38 species of Poppy plants but only two produce Opium is great enough supply that it is worth farming them and humans have been cultivating these varieties for as long as we have known about the plants. When humans settled into Mesopotamia (near modern day Iraq), Poppies were one of the few plants grown in plots as large grain or vegetable fields (meaning that they were thought of as valuable as food). Throughout the Greek age of medicine (pre-500 BCE) through the Islamic medicinal revolution (500 BC-1500 AD), Opium was a major component of treatment, assisted suicide, and poison. In fact its through the rise of the Muslim Caliphates that we see the export of Opium to other parts of the world, especially through the Mediterranean Sea once the Crusaders return. Opium trading to the East via the silk roads was an almost continuous affair since time immemorial and Pakistan was a major growing area for the Eastern Poppy trade.

Okay so we understand how pain is sent to the brain and how it modulates but there is so much more to the mu Opioid Receptor and that’s not the only kind of Opioid receptor that we have. The two most clinically useful receptors are the Mu and Kappa Opioid Receptors (KOR) because they result in analgesia but there is a Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) that is worth mentioning. The majority of the Opiates that we know and love are Mu agonists but there are some very interesting Kappa agonists that are worth mentioning as well. https://preview.redd.it/eg9toikwjw4b1.png?width=587&format=png&auto=webp&s=027d16b15bd7e195205513a3034eb5610ba88537

A Change in Trade Policyhttps://preview.redd.it/bb4eb0ltkw4b1.png?width=628&format=png&auto=webp&s=321048bd5d5edf8877aede887c3fcb7aa387a0e4 Oh, you’re still here. Neat! So by the 1820s the Qing dynasty was running into many problems regarding Opium. Firstly they needed the Opium taxes to fund their efforts to put down the White Lotus Rebellion and retain power. But after almost 30 years of trade the effects on Chinese communities could not be ignored along with local officials operating under the imperial trade department, the Hong, profiting from bribes to allow Opium. Regardless of initial efforts things were getting out of hand for the Qing government. In 1800, about 4000 chests of Opium or 560,000 pounds entered the country but by 1830 that number exploded to 20,000 chests or about 3 million pounds. But more than the amount of Opium actually entering the country was the incessant rudeness of the British government to open trade.
