    2024 US Presidential Election

    I wonder how this is going to affect the price of daily items such as groceries. If all the cheap laborers get deported, are Americans going to fill the vacancies for the same measly wages?

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I imagine Zelensky’s generals are planning to strategically target Russian assets using American long-range missiles and French or UK-supplied Storm Shadows. Why wouldn’t Zelensky take this approach? Ukraine is continuously under attack from Russian long-range missiles, glide missiles, and...

    I'm not sure what this photo is trying to tell me. That physical looks should be the leading indicator of competence? Would you, hypothetically speaking, also pick RFK over Stephen Hawking as head of NASA just because he's seen Interstellar once?

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Now that the elections are over, did anyone else listen in to the Congress UFO hearings with Nancy Mace? Interesting stuff. If the Immaculate Constellation program is real, perhaps they could reverse engineer some extraterrestrial technology in order to cure tinnitus 😪

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Did you vote for PVV or FvD, perhaps? Regardless, I fully support peace in Ukraine—but Ukraine should have all its territorial borders restored, including Crimea. The Netherlands should continue supporting Ukraine in every possible way, whether financially or through military aid...

    Evaluating How a Tinnitus Implant Affects Tinnitus Loudness in Adults with Chronic Tinnitus and Varying Levels of Hearing Loss (TINIS)

    Trump sues CBS for 10 billion dollars for election interference. Because why not? Seems a bit desperate. I wonder if CBS is going to counter-sue for 2.5 decillion dollars.

    Chronic Prostatitis: How to Treat It When You Have Tinnitus?

    Hi, I also suffered a lot from intermittent prostatitis. Initially, I was prescribed antibiotics, but what really helped me was a specific set of pelvic exercises. Over the years, I developed my own routine of exercises that almost completely eliminated the problem for me. I’ll see if I can...

    Apple AirPods for Tinnitus Masking

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I’d prefer Harris, considering she would continue to support Ukraine and NATO. Trump has stated that he would “stop the war within 24 hours” by getting Putin and Zelensky to talk to each other, which seems delusional at best. Given Trump’s track record on Ukraine, I wouldn’t expect him to do...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I thought Harris was quite impressive, considering she was continuously being interrupted while trying to answer the questions that were posed to her. Apparently, FOX's idea of an interview takes the form of a belligerent debate, but she handled herself very well. Moreover, I'm reading that...

    Here's the full video of Trump sundowning on stage to some music for 39 minutes. Ultimately, an aide shows him a note and then he just kinda walks off. It's amazing how outraged Republicans (and Democrats) were at Biden's mental acuity, but stuff this like is just glossed over and labelled...

    Commercial Lidocaine Patch as a Treatment for Ear-ringing

    I just noticed that the Aspercreme ones are around €15 per 3, so the difference in cost isn't as bad as I thought. I'll have to check the size of the prescription ones, they didn't have them in stock at my local apothecary. How big are the Aspercremes?

    Commercial Lidocaine Patch as a Treatment for Ear-ringing

    So I got a prescription for the 5% version, but it's not covered by insurance. €50 for 10 patches. The only version that's covered by insurance is a mixed 2.5% Lidocaine + 2.5% Prilocaine ointment that has to be combined with neutral patches (as in, they don't contain anything). Perhaps it...

    Commercial Lidocaine Patch as a Treatment for Ear-ringing

    Just read through the topic and recent posts. I don't have reactive tinnitus, but it might be worth a shot. I'm seeing Dr. De Koning tomorrow for a third and final procedure. Maybe I'll discuss this with him and ask whether he's willing to prescribe the 5% patches for me.

    Basically Cured with Psilocybin

    Honestly, I feel it hasn’t done much for me. After microdosing, I started experimenting with larger doses. This week, I took a dose that is considered “high” for my weight. The next step would be a heroic dose. I’ve tried several strains but have never really experienced any hallucinogenic or...

    Certainly one of the more meme-able debates in recent history. I've seen plenty of coverage. Apparently, the individual was a pro-Ukraine Republican who voted for Trump in 2016 but became disillusioned with his presidency and current stance on Ukraine. Additionally, reports indicate that no...
