Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

So a fun thing I learned.

In the pre-Hiroshima world of medical science, meaning in the world of people like Marie Curie and that understanding of radiation it wasn't a bad idea for most to visit spas to get to relax in "radon water" to alleviate joint pains and other ailments, and was quiet popular in Europe back in the day.

But then of course the US drops two nukes and the public perception of ye olde ionizing radiation changed and that sort of business died very soon after.

But recently it's been making a slow come-back with fans and providers claiming that it has health benefits at low doses for people suffering from pains brought about by arthritis. I read an article from Der Spiegel that discussed a study by German universities in this new trend and they seem to in part agree: pain is alleviated, blood pressure is lowered, and the aggressive immune system that causes joint pain is briefly calmed down to provide relief.

Their only caution is they don't know how much is too much, but they did a double test on volunteer interviews with participants in radon-spa goers and exposed mice to low doses of radon.

What does this mean for PoW? Without nukes or nuclear power or nuclear fear at all then the practice might still be a thing. Might.

The characters you are currently RPing as run into each other at a bar. How does it go?

Not the entire population of China crammed into a Kowloon saloon?

@TheEvanCat

I would say that, but really I haven't made several million characters in PoW... yet.

Most would probably form a respectful ring around one, since they're all the same RP and one is pretty much their Great Leader/ kindly uncle-but-not-really-an-uncle-it's-just-a-pet-nickname.

I should have written a post today, or more of one. But I got busy running around and by the time I got back I somehow found myself without time to do anything. Or at least because I was busy porting an audio-book about the Marquise de Lafayette onto my iPod.

I discovered the Old Crow Medicine show through Darius Rucker's cover of Wagon Wheel. I think I saw them in the recommendations so I went to listen to their own cover of the Bob Dylan song and found out from there. They've been an on-and-off band for me as well, a lot like the Black Crowes. They're a fantastic band but they're something that comes and goes in waves.

I was at the library and picked up the album that song is from. I also found out they have Sturgil Simpson there as well so I borrowed one of his CDs there as well since he's a fantastic new country artist. However my system doesn't seem to want to play the CD, I'll have to look into it on my computer later.

What is your best roleplaying memory?

There was also that time I wrote a post so long it could be published as its own novella.

I kept it spoilered so it wouldn't stretch the scroll bar too long.
