lol we actually do breed plants to be more cold hardy, and spinach is one of the few that can (sometimes) survive a surprise snowfall. Still can't plant it in winter, though. My kale has definitely popped up in January through 4 inches of snow, same hard neck garlic. Plants are incredible

what bothered me about The Pitt was how they were telling patients to come back for wound care. or something along those lines also the medical abortion stuff did not seem realistic

I've been bookending this podcast and getting to this episode with the perspective of 4 years later is so deeply depressing

Having mj scheduled at all prevents proper research into both benefits and dangers. My friend is allergic, but can't get ePipens, because her allergist can't test for it, because it's federally illegal. I waited years too long to take cannabis drops for my fibro bc the lack of research. It needs to be fully legalized

"Bubba Clause" sounds like what would've happened if they had cast Bruce Campbell instead of Tim Allen for that Christmas movie.

Why in the world would someone rather have doctors trying to hide a drug problem operate on them than have doctors get treatment and then be able to operate on them sober? Our society is very confused

Benadryl allergy could actually be a reaction to non active ingredients: my friend is allergic to milk and kept breaking out in his as Benadryl started to wear off. Lactose is a common ingredient in tablet pills. She switched to gel caps and has no more problems with Benadryl

aaaaah, oh no... potatoes are one of the few things I can eat that reduce my GERD. I'm already vegan, on FODMAP, and allergic to all legumes. I hope I can get away with still eating potatoes

My body doesn't process alcohol properly, so kombucha (normal, not hard) is the most alcohol I can drink. Just to add to the weight of his explanation of different people being able to process different amounts of alcohol.

I'm glad Robert Evans stopped making predictions because all the terrible things he predicted for 2020, even when mostly in jest, happened
