Yeah no worries man it happens. Perhaps my comment was a bit too harsh now that I'm reading it again. Benzos are certainly interesting drugs

Absolutely. I guess it depends on where you’re working but barbs are absolutely not “very much” used in my work

what SHOULD be happening is that the representative in question and/or their subordinates should be taking note of the received calls and the grievances.

the rep should then be using this information to know that a significant chunk of their constituents(with the votes that put them in office) disagree with policy and use this support to take the issue to higher places to be discussed and hopefully changed for the better. if this gets ignored by enough people that file complaints that rep might have issues getting support in the next election cycle.

in practice this doesnt always occur, but this practice should not be phased out as its one of the few manners the common voter can still interact with politics outside of voting.

Eugh I hate reddit for doing what I'm about to do, but I always find this distinction interesting.

Strictly it's 50% of the population would die.

The reason why that is different than '50% chance of dying' is because 50%chance of death implies that everytime you take that dose you're flipping a coin. The reality is that if you tried it once and it didn't kill you, it would never kill you (ignoring the fact that this is certainly not true due to everything from the liver damage you would sustain to the fact you'd be aging as time went on). But if you were able to repeat the same experiment on yourself again and again after the first outcome where it didn't kill you, it is not 50% chance of death each time.

The person you're talking to is obviously referring to large societal trends, not saying they literally ceased to exist.

Barbiturates are used at a much lower rate today compared to the past, partially because they've been replaced by benzos in many cases. You're being needlessly pedantic

There is no overall systemic use of the sequence in nature. If things match up its a fluke.

In my country our guidelines are for chlordiazepoxide for alcohol withdrawal and we very rarely ever prescribe barbs, namely only for status or other epileptic seizures

> what happens to toy trades if I create or aka print more marbles?

Nothing. You can just keep making/printing more marbles with no ill effects. Some people will claim this causes "inflation", but its not true.

You can buy lithium AA and AAA cells from Energizer.

I take propranolol now. No physical anxiety and mental sharpness

Mmm donuts

The hype is just that: a hype. It is not based on anything real. Also, it was a fad at best, it never was THE big thing everyone talks about.

Anyway, the explanation goes as with most hypes: a few people made up things, consciously or not, excitedly told others, and it spread. What else do you want one to say?

>The Nigeria can not buy oil from Saudi Arabia for any currency other than U.S. dollars. So if Nigeria doesn't have dollars, the easiest way to get them is to sell goods to the US for dollars, and then use those dollars to buy oil.

Well, that's not exactly the same thing. We can try to make sure a country we don't like doesn't have dollars to spend by not trading with them, but if they have dollars they can trade them for goods with anyone who will accept them. We can't say, "hey, you can't use your dollars to buy what you want bc that's our currency." And bc USD is the reference currency and is held by governments and private entities worldwide, what's to stop Nigeria from trading with someone else to get THEIR dollars and then using them to buy oil? The most circulated bill worldwide is the $100 USD. It's the currency of everything from commerce to crime all over the world.

>According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, nearly 80 percent of $100 bills—and more than 60 percent of all US bills—are overseas, up from roughly 30 percent in 1980.

There's no stopping the world from using their dollars amongst themselves for whatever they want.

It's inaccurate to call that "the golden ratio" when it's not. If a plant has a logarithmic spiral with a factor of 1.4-1.8 then you shouldn't call it the same as a spiral of (1+sqrt(5))/2, for a lot of reasons - first, there's too much variance; second, there's no way to really prove whether it's the golden ratio or some other number. Suppose there is a slightly different number, say, (2+sqrt(8))/3, which is similar (~1.6 and ~1.6) yet entirely different - is it not just as possible that this is the magic number of life rather than the golden ratio?

Not to be rude, but this is incorrect.

"Books" also include assets and liabilities, and assets an liabilities are neither income nor expenses. And balancing the books has nothing to do with ensuring income is equal to or exceeds expenses.

Sinsemilla has entered the chat.

With cannabis there are female plants and Male plants. In the old days you planted seeds and waited to see if it had Male tops then pulled up all the males. Then the female flowers won't get pollinated, no seeds, sin semilla in Spanish.

Nowadays it's all grown from clones, cuttings that are rooted. All female.

Hmm I suppose you're right I guess I just got the wrong idea because unlike every other CNS depressant Benzos can not kill you by themselves only when mixed with other depressants. Benzos do NOT slow your breathing and heart rate as a direct affect of the drug itself. Just as OP said he took 960mg of etizolam, a drug that can get you extremely high off as little as 2mg. Any depressant besides a benzo that you take 480x the regular dose of you will die no ifs ands or buts about it but there is not a single recorded case of someone dying off Benzodiazepines alone and not mixed with another depressant. They can potentiate other depressants and make their effects exponentially stronger but that's it.

I was assuming CNS depressants specifically lowered heart rate and breathing and therefor benzos werent but I got it wrong my bad. Either way they dont really behave like any other CNS depressant and as OP explained they are not nearly as dangerous as most depressants because they are essentially impossible to OD on. I have seen many cases similar to OPs where as long they dont mix it with anything else like alcohol or opiates you can take just insane doses and still be fine when it wears off.

You know that feeling when you randomly forget how to swallow and no matter how hard you try you just can't make it happen until suddenly the issue just goes away? It was like that, except with my lungs and being unable to breathe, like i knew how to perform the motion but no matter how hard i tried i couldn't take in a breath, if a nurse hadn't been right there at that moment there is a good chance i would have died due to passing out before being able to alert someone. They ended up putting me on a ventilator for 4 days and then took me off it. Had slight breathing problems ever since.

> Most people that try to kill themselves with it drink alcohol too.

Yeah and then you need a lot less, that's the danger.

>I couldn’t imagine taking 50 mg of it.

Tbf, I can only imagine it.
About an hour after I took the first 4mg I don't recall anything for the next day or so.
I took the rest of the bottle I had I'm assuming because I forgot that I'd already taken some.
There was never an intent to take the whole bottle, just the first ones made me not form any new memories....

They wanted the hype explained. Why would you answer if you don't get it either?

Yeah. That's the one.

It's like putting your brain in a blender.

That says nothing about the lethal dose, which is much higher than 50 mg in humans

It's nice to know that we are in agreement. It is true to say that the Fibonacci sequence may not account for the unpredictability of natural processes.

Other examples exist that may resemble the sequence. The spiral pattern on a ram's horns often resembles the golden ratio. As the pinecone grows bigger and you count the spiral in each direction, the ratio gets closer to the golden ratio.

Different med but still a benzo
