Unable to raise revenue without Parliament and unwilling to convene it, Charles resorted to other means. One was to revive conventions, often outdated. For example, a failure to attend and receive knighthood at Charles's coronation became a finable offence with the fine paid to the Crown. The King also tried to raise revenue through ship money, demanding in 1634–1636 that the inland English counties pay a tax for the Royal Navy to counter the threat of privateers and pirates in the English Channel.[23] Established law supported the policy of coastal counties and inland ports such as London paying ship money in times of need, but it had not been applied to inland counties before.[23]

Authorities had ignored it for centuries, and many saw it as yet another extra-Parliamentary, illegal tax,[29] which prompted some prominent men to refuse to pay it. Charles issued a writ against John Hampden for his failure to pay, and although five judges including George Croke supported Hampden, seven judges found in favour of the King in 1638.[23] The fines imposed on people who refused to pay ship money and standing out against its illegality aroused widespread indignation.[29]

thiel comments 'This is, by the way, the slogan of the antichrist: 1 Thessalonians 5:3. It’s peace and safety, sort of the unjust peace.' but as any catholic will tell you if you look at it in context it's saying you won't know when the end is coming so don't obsess about it

5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

this would be depressing if i wasn't already trying out some other treatments. just staying one questionable treatment ahead of reality

1. First‑pass metabolism is not severe enough to make sublingual delivery novel. Oral cyclobenzaprine exhibits mean bioavailability between 33 % and 55 %. While first‑pass metabolism does reduce systemic exposure, roughly half of an oral dose still reaches the circulation. Sublingual absorption might modestly increase the proportion that bypasses the liver, but this advantage is mitigated by the drug’s long half‑life (18–37 h). With such a long half‑life, slight differences in the rate of absorption are unlikely to produce clinically meaningful changes in steady‑state concentrations.

2. Norcyclobenzaprine is an active component, not a toxin to be avoided. Tonix’s marketing implies that reducing formation of nCBP improves safety. However, the ACR study demonstrated that nCBP persists in plasma longer (T½ ≈ 73 h) and has receptor affinity values only slightly weaker than parent cyclobenzaprine (e.g., Ki ≈ 13 nM at 5‑HT2A vs 5.2 nM for cyclobenzaprine). Both compounds act as functional antagonists at 5‑HT2A, H1 and adrenergic receptors. It is therefore plausible that nCBP contributes to the drug’s sleep‑promoting effect. Reducing formation of this metabolite might decrease prolonged sedation, but it could also shorten therapeutic benefit and diminish improvements in sleep quality. Observational experience with low‑dose oral cyclobenzaprine (1–4 mg at bedtime) suggests that sustained sedative effects are critical for improving non‑restorative sleep in fibromyalgia.

who wouldn't want to take tonmya? it stops your brain ticking over and has fewer side effects than cake or wine

Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients): oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer1
Weight gain and blood pressure were similar to placebo. There were no reports of cognitive dysfunction or sexual dysfunction

any day now. the only obstacles left are RFK, the massive cost, and the chance of being disappeared if I go to the US.

The FDA put Tonmya on the fast track and the drug could potentially be approved for the treatment of fibromyalgia in August 2025. Of course, there are no guarantees. If approved, Tonix says they can make the drug available within three months. And if you are wondering about the cost, expect it to be pricy.

the first sentence of this article on the new fibromyalgia drug is insight into the kind of thinking you're left with after years of constructing and destroying coping strategies for a condition with no real treatment

All fibromyalgia medications are “dirty” because they soil up your body with unwanted symptoms. Yet, a new drug is expected to be FDA approved soon and its mode of action is relatively clean

U.S. representative Peter King, a member of the Republican Party, deemed the suit's color combined with the subject matter of terrorism to be "unpresidential". He went on: "There's no way, I don't think, any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday. I mean, you have the world watching"

peculiar that if you wanted to you couldn't create a more blasphemous religion than what the so-called 'pentecostal church' do on a weekly basis.

Matthew12:31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

we should come up with a name for this thinking. and maybe a way to address the psychology behind player behaviour beyond a vague concept of awareness raising

quote from rising UFC star Jack Della Maddalena
“I’ve always been competitive, and it feels like fighting is … the pinnacle of competition,” he says.

“That’s how I see it in my head. It’s where all roads lead to and people are just competing, and they just want to get the better of each other.”

After winning his first UFC World title, his future is looking bright — and admits he doesn’t give much thought to the physical toll right now.

“It is a rough sport. I’ve had injuries, but I try not to think about that too much. It’ll be tomorrow’s problem,” he says.

the holy trinity of denial

When it comes to atrocities, psychologist Stanley Cohen identifies three forms of denial: literal denial (it didn’t happen), interpretive denial (it wasn’t what it seems) and implicatory denial (it doesn’t matter).
Confirmation bias plays a part here, too. Imagine you had a close friend or family member who was accused of unspeakable crimes.
from Washington Post opinion A genocide is happening in Gaza. We should say so by Shadi Hamid
You’d have strong incentives to explain away their actions — or, better yet, deny that they committed them in the first place. To admit that someone you love was capable of evil can simply be too difficult, because in some sense that realization would implicate you as well.

some positive updates in the The Brolos Catcher – Issue 303 from ceo marc anderson. peter dutton may be worried about the wrong russian fish story though

Update from Marc Anderson;
Marc spoke about the busy catch and export period following the China live market re-opening, with a record amount of intake during this time. While the larger volumes did put pressure on GFC's supply chain and logistics, he noted our systems and people coped well with the increased workload. Marc thanked the supply chain, sales and export operations teams, in particular, for their additional efforts during this period.

Marc recently attended a Lobster market update from the Austrade team in China. Marc shared that since the market re-opening, there had been no significant issues with the clearance of Australian lobster shipments in various ports in China. Interesting market observations included the considerable presence of the Russian Crab, which is at a lower price point than Australian lobster and a substitute product that exporters will need to track closely. Other observations included the current economic conditions within China, which have resulted in a drop in consumer spending.

grim insight in to the significance of your life as a russian soldier. i doubt russia is even recording the numbers of their own casualties to the extent ukraine is, even as russian recruitment numbers drop

The ammunition shortage is critical, as Ukraine must inflict around 1,000 Russian casualties daily to prevent a build-up of the 25,000 to 30,000 Russian troops arriving monthly. Without adequate supplies, Ukraine likely cannot degrade Russian forces effectively.

important reminder that the larger your audience the greater the risk of inflaming tensions with racist conspiracy theories

Grok acknowledged that Sellner has never publicly called for violence against migrants and instead campaigns on policy proposals such as “remigration” (i.e., ethnically cleansing Western countries of “non-European” immigrants), but had still inspired violence with this rhetoric. With this analysis, Grok added that “it’s not a stretch” to say that Musk could “inspire a Christchurch 2.0,” since his promotion of a “narrative of a culture under siege” is enough, like Sellner’s was, to help inspire a terrorist. The main difference for Grok is that Musk’s reach, which “dwarfs Sellner’s,” amplifies his hateful rhetoric even further, ominously predicting that “one radicalized follower with a gun could turn his tweets into a body count.”

the end of the parable of the good samaritan. the answer to the question, 'i'm told it's my duty to god to love my neighbour, but who is my neighbour?'

luke 10:36-37 NIV

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
