Other drugs such as dissociatives like ketamine are much less addictive. In
Or even cannabis. The OG of pain management. Cannabis is documented over 10 millennia before Aspirin. Who knows how long before that it was used. Before the oligarchs in USA conspired to eradicate it from earth in 18th, 19th and 20th century, it had significant biodiversity, who knows how many medicines were lost. But thanks to the many outlaws who continued to cultivate it in very diverse soils and climates, it is very diverse again. Still, the capitalist pharma companies can only think in terms of âwhat molecules can I patent and sell?â They reluctantly allowed the studies investigating whole-plant effects, marketing it as âentourage effectâ, but this was only so they could patent formulae in much the same way.
I think my point here is just that we have to get away from the stupidity of the capitalist system before we advance.
Even with pain management in general I may have been a bit harsh on the doctors for believing lies. Their entire schooling is filled with capitalist lies, so they are trained to believe them. But that doesnât mean innocence either.
There are courses in med school about pain management, reducing physical dependence and all that. Even if they are colored with pharmacorp propaganda, a good doctor should be able to filter out the bullshit.
Pharmaceutical companies lied to doctors and patients about how addictive opioids are.
Every single opiod, from opium itself, to heroin, to morphine, etc. Has been promised to be non addictive. How many times can you believe the same lie before you hold some responsibility for the outcome?
Then, a series of studies concluded that many people are living with untreated chronic pain;
Which is still true. In fact, the reason for this is at least partly because of fear of addiction, so they too cautiously donât treat pain at all.
But no one wants to admit, not doctors nor pharmaceutical companies, that medicine doesnât have a viable solution to the most basic of medical problems.
All quantum stuff is tied together. Youâd need to watch a dozen videos just to even cover all the different pieces.
Hereâs a good starting point: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Be3HlA_9968
The term is traditionally mainly used for leadâacid batteries in the same form factor as automotive batteries; and contrasted with starter or âcrankingâ automotive batteries designed to deliver only a small part of their capacity in a short, high-current burst for cranking the engine.
The term literally has no meaning outside of ancient internal combustion engines (not even modern ones). All batteries are presumed to be full discharge in modern times.
Thereâs aluminum air batteries, thereâs solid state batteries, etc
Doesnât have to be batteries either. In around 2017 a really promising flywheel was on the market, then suddenly disappeared, but not before data was published on the dark web. Most likely killed by a capitalist with competing battery investments.
Thereâs myriad of energy storage options. For you to focus on this one thing and think it means that sustainable tech is impossible is just illogical.
I hope you specifically refer to contemporary quantum physics here. Or do you actually believe that there is nothing scientific in quantum mechanics?
I often find myself agreeing with Sabine Hossenfelder. I donât subscribe to quantum weirdness.
Thereâs plenty of rational explanations for âsuperpositionâ, observer effects, and so on.
I tried so hard to make it through this tripe. I made it all the way to âflying qubits.â
It never ceases to amaze me how hard quantum physicists try to fool themselves.
There is no actual science here. Nor fact. Nor increased understanding. Just bullshit.
I will say that the science journalism is better than usual though.
What do you think is the largest form of energy storage then?
WTF does that have to do with anything? You sound like an American capitalist with your BiGgEsT nUmBeR iS bEsTeSt. Oh sorry. GOAT is what itâs called. Did you really just GOAT me on energy technology?
I study and implement technology as a profession. Itâs what Iâve done all day every day for almost 2 decades. Iâd like to help you broaden your understanding, but you seem closed to that. You just seem to want to be right on the internet, and not actually examine things.
The kit from Amazon was merely used to illustrate how much money was being misallocated and all of the numbers were rounded way up. In actuality the cost would be much much lower. Also, you would want to use much newer technology and not the capitalist crap from Amazon.
Battery technology exists that doesnât use Rare Earths and even wind turbines exist that use only ferrites on the order of 100s of grams and Iron is quite readily available.
Youâre just plain wrong about pumped water storage. Not sure what convinced you of that but itâs just not true.
Itâs also preposterous that every person has to figure out how to install and maintain it.
Average household usage doesnât apply because the average house isnât insulated and I already addressed that.
Youâre wrong about battery lifetime as well.
Power poles can be toppled very easily and only one pole needs to go down for a whole region to be affected. Compare that to how hard it is to destroy a solar panel. To say ânothing is immune to weatherâ is just more bad faith arguing.
Talking about salaries is again more bad faith arguing because I was illustrating a less costly way, specifically.
@muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml does this help clarify things for you?
This really sucks when you spent 45 minutes constructing a thorough reply.
