FleursDuMal

I found the same thing, taking K2 (the Carlson labs MK-4 version) with some D3 drops helped hugely.

Not a bad list, out of these I enjoyed Children of Time, Gideon the Ninth, The Martian and the Murderbot books the most. Another good book which I saw an another HN post is "There is no Antimemetics Division", well worth a read.

It's interesting that both the Denisovans and the Neanderthals were named after religious individuals. The Denisovan remains were found in the Denisova cave, Denis being a Russian Orthodox hermit who lived there. The word Neanderthal comes from the Neander valley, which was called after a German minister who enjoyed walking the area and writing hymns.

A Poison Tree

William Blake, 1757 - 1827

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears

Night and morning with my tears,

And I sunned it with smiles

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright,

And my foe beheld it shine,

And he knew that it was mine,--

And into my garden stole

When the night had veiled the pole;

In the morning, glad, I see

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

It's generally a bit taboo to directly address dominance in social interactions, but you were manipulated into doing and then handing over work for nothing in return.

You were successfully made to believe you would be the bad guy for walking away when nothing could have been farther from the truth.

You worked, for nothing, on a project which belonged wholly to someone else, and they didn't even bother to turn up for project meetings.

There's often a big disconnect between people's superficial behaviour and their genuine intent, and you have to learn to read the signals which tell you the difference.

This episode might have been unpleasant but could be a cheap lesson if you learn the right things from it.

The painter Monet had cataract surgery near the end of his life, which removed the lens from one eye entirely and allowed him to see ultraviolet light. He continued to paint, and his renditions of white flowers became blue-tinted.

I have an encyclopedia from the 1950's at home with a page entitled "Asbestos - the new wonder material".
