Several years ago I was doing advertising websites, one of our customers was (Pfizer? Bayer? both were customers) they had developed a drug against Dupuytren's contracture[1] and apparently found it effective enough against Peyronie's that we were asked to create a website describing this (possibly off label) use of that drug.
Honestly I have no idea if it was effective or not, nor do I know anything about the side effects, but just in case you were unaware of that particular option I want to put it out there.
From what I can find, doing an online search along that path it might have been Xiaflex/Xiapex by Pfizer.
(Not paid by anyone in this particular business anymore, just remembered it when I read your comment).

Are you lamenting that you reach for `console.log` first, instead of using the `debugger` statement, or are you wishing there was a `debugger` statement, because there absolutely is a `debugger` statement. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

You wont notice any difference until about a minute in where all the instruments come into play.

For those reading the comments first, this is not the first Mastodon that came to mind in the context of metalheads.

There is also "slankekur" which more or less translates to "slimming-cure"

I thought the same thing.

A close friend of mine has been in and out of the job market for years with various diagnosis, including stress, depression, anxiety, OCD, one doctor even suggested brain damage.
She was diagnosed with ADHD and ADD a few years ago, got medication for it which cleared up most of the above symptoms. She has now held a steady job, although at a reduced workload, for a few years.

People who fly FPV order these cameras all the time.
This one is about $8 https://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-...
How about this one for $22 with a 5.8GHz transmitter https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX01S-NTSC-Mini-5_8G-40CH-2...
