Just came back from a quick rollerblading session and am now drenched without much exertion.

Pain management?
I’ve seen this shop and branding around most neighbourhoods. It appears to be touting pain management, and I’ve seen many seniors lining outside before a session starts.
Does anyone have any idea about this? Is it really pain management?

Changing my thinking
Up late developing phishing templates and it got me thinking. I had a rough time trying to understand and enter the instagram feel-good mode.
In the end, what people want to have is good feelings.
Profoundly simple? Yes. Profoundly hard.
Alright i need a break
Time to go walk the stairs and possibly get some Sichuan mala for dinner.
Will human transplants change biometrics?

9 December 2019
A transplant patient developed the DNA of his donor, it has emerged.
Chris Long, from Reno in Nevada, had a blood test three months after receiving a bone marrow transplant.
Results revealed his DNA had been “replaced” by that of his donor, a German man 10 years his junior.
Four years later, the donor’s genetic material was found in Mr Long’s cheeks, lips and semen. While levels fluctuated over time, only his chest and head hair were unaffected.
Fish food
Caught my eye when reading the online news this morning.
Antidepressants found in brains of fish in Niagara River
The discovery of antidepressants in aquatic life in the river raises serious environmental concerns, says lead scientist Diana Aga, PhD, the Henry M. Woodburn Professor of Chemistry in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.
“These active ingredients from antidepressants, which are coming out from wastewater treatment plants, are accumulating in fish brains,” Aga says. “It is a threat to biodiversity, and we should be very concerned.”
Wastewater treatment facilities have failed to keep pace with the growth of Americans taking anti-depressant drugs, which has risen 65 percent between 1999 and 2002 and 2011-2014, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Treatment plants typically ignore these drugs, which are then released into the environment, Aga says.

I had an inkling of this madness when a study found drugs in the River Thames but this takes the cake since Red meat is bad, Vegetables has levels of pesticides.
Now, does the AVA test for these? I would think the risk of drugs found in sea-dwelling fishes is much lesser than those caught from rivers close to human inhabitation.
Out of action for a few weeks
Went running last week and tripped on uneven ground. Superficial skin trauma and hurt the left side of the hip real bad – no bone fracture though.
I guess I’ll be out of action for the next couple weeks.
Ugh
