I think that being impaired with anything above 0 is illegal. You could be at .06 but have such a low tolerance that it affects you pretty badly and get cited for it. But 0.08+ is automatically considered impaired, no matter how good your tolerance may be, if you get tested at that level.
All things criminal are illegal, but not all things illegal are criminal. Speeding and other traffic violations are illegal, but they’re not criminal. Overstaying your visa (most common form of illegal immigration) is, IIRC, a civil violation but it’s not a criminal one either.
That said, I don’t think what the initial post said is entirely true either and will make that a separate reply.
I’ve been very curious to try nitrided carbon steel, but am having trouble finding one that’s dishwasher safe 😔
Nancy Mace wants it next
Shit, I’m naive enough that I’d settle for a 2-minute non-video call to Fox News. If he can talk with others for at least 10x that, surely that’s not too much to ask.
Nice! My favorite for partly sentimental reasons is from a distiller called Mythology. They do a collaboration with the Denver Botanic Gardens (I live in the Denver area) that’s pretty good https://mythologydistillery.com/product/the-foragers-gin/
But my bottle reserved for when they happen is a nice bottle of whiskey some friends gifted me for officiating their wedding a couple years ago. I still haven’t opened it and I’m the type who would save it forever if I didn’t have an occasion to drink it otherwise. https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/george-dickel-x-leopold-bros-collaboration-blend-rye
I may have to keep my eye open for Nolet’s. One of my favorite drinks is a G&T.
He also lives in a low cost of living area
He didn’t, but now that I think about it he has another business still in the industry (don’t want to be too specific) and that may help too. Really not familiar enough with his businesses’ finances to say 🙂
One of my old Internet friends from years ago did, and got very involved in the industry. He seems to be doing very well for himself, but I’ve seen him comment on a Facebook post where people were saying you can only become a millionaire by starting a laundromat if you started off as a billionaire
Not to be confused with good guy AI
There are 6 pieces of shit on SCOTUS, but some of them at least try not to be occasionally. Even the conservatives seemed incredibly skeptical during arguments. My biggest surprise is that Gorsuch joined Alito and Thomas.
I had my plates stolen several years ago, if that counts!
3 day weekends every week, right? … Right?
Don’t give him any ideas
Yeah, there’s basically a “valve” muscle in the esophagus called the upper esophageal sphincter (either a part of the cricopharynx, vice versa, or they’re the same… Not sure). It stays closed for the most part, but opens for swallowing and burping. Swallowing is generally fine, but burping not so much. You may have seen the term R-CPD in the thread, that stands for Retrograde (outward direction) Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction. There’s a similar condition called achalasia, which is also treated with Botox, but that also has swallowing issues unlike R-CPD.
Anyway, the Botox helps that muscle relax. The body metabolizes it after several months, but in that time you have “training wheels” that help develop muscle memory to burp. About 80% of people are “one and done” with that one shot. I personally had a second and don’t really have “tasteable” burps, but I do have small ones that seem to help.
It’s funny, because before I suspected that issue in my daughter we saw a pediatric ENT (the type of doctor who performs the procedure). Knowing it’s an obscure thing many doctors have a hard time grasping, I told him about it figuring it may plant a seed for some parent in the future. His response? “That’s funny, I don’t burp either. What you said makes sense though.” I would have loved to go back to him, but unfortunately he moved across the country in the meantime. Ended up going to another doctor in the practice who is amazing though!
The main ones you see almost universally are
There are also things like hiccups, hypersalivation, constipation, and things like that that are common but not guaranteed.
My daughter has been pretty underweight for a while. I realized she’s had massive farts, and a bit of a big belly given the rest of her relatively small size. She was super hard to burp as an infant (that varies a lot in adults with the condition) and it pretty much stopped after a while. Basically the bloat kills the appetite.
Pretty much. It affects people differently, but one guy talked to manually any doctor who would listen. Dr. Bastian in Chicagoland has a YouTube channel about laryngology (basically all throat stuff) and that guy who had so many issues with not being able to burp contacted Dr. Bastian about it. He told him to get some Botox on the muscle of the throat that releases gas, and the guy ended up flying to Chicago to have it done. Dr. Bastian is pretty legendary in that community now. He also has a very impressive background even before that.
I actually went to that practice for my first injection and was originally booked to see Dr. Bastian. He fell sick the week I was there, but another doctor in the practice was able to do it instead since I came from out of town. Honestly everyone there is great!
But also, I saw similar symptoms in my toddler daughter, who was very underweight (getting better!). It was hard, because it can be difficult enough to find someone willing to do it for an adult, but a young child? Nobody wants to take that risk. Most specialists I talked to thought it made sense, but it really wasn’t their area (fair) or they’d get skeptical. The ENT we saw about it was HORRIBLE and basically chased us out because it was a zebra. Eventually I booked a telehealth visit with Dr. Bastian just to see if I was projecting my own experiences on her, and he was the kindest man. Sent a letter with his opinion for me to show other providers, and I think it really helped show I wasn’t insane.
Daughter eventually had it done by a pediatric ENT doctor who has done it before. She did great for several days but snapped back after an endoscopy about a week later. We’re trying again in about a month and a half!
Sorry to ramble, but this has been such a big thing for me personally!
I would strongly suggest getting the treatment if you can! It’s a super simple procedure.
I mean, that’s just an issue of notation. OP could have just as easily meant 0.10 but chopped off the trailing zero out of habit.
