  • I’ve used this giorgio regni app on Android for years with various random earbuds.

    The only option on its menu that reliably does anything for me is called “morphine pain killer”, but it was a game changer for me for incapacitating sea sickness (believe me I had tried so many things I don’t think I had any placebo potential left). On land, I’ve found it effective for post surgery pain, nerve pain, and even the odd depressive crying jag. I guess at this point I’m a believer so I’d be curious to know what effect it has on a “fresh” patient. I don’t think I’ve tried it just for kicks, though, so not sure what you’ll notice if you’re already feeling ok.










  • Except I think it’s interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately “employed” hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

    The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.


  • I saw a local one advertised on nextdoor and I went to the site because there are rules for advertisers on that app and I wanted to complain. It is exactly as I’d heard-- telling people there’s no reason to be seen quickly and will not be given appointment within two weeks, calling themselves a clinic but no statement of any medical service. But they said so little about what they actually do that I couldn’t find any good grounds for complaint to the app as also the app’s own content categories, “health” or something, was too vague to be considered misleading. I complained anyway that they were promoting pseudo medicine and political activity, but didn’t get a reply.
