    LF medical related advice

    Impossible for me to tell. Only way to rule out the ranitidine *would be* to play badminton without having taken it (not that that's my clinical advice, just telling you the only way to really rule it out as a contributing factor). It seems unlikely to me that it's related. I would recommend...

    LF medical related advice

    Supraventricular tachycardia *can* be very serious, but it's good that it's only minor in your case. Regarding the OP, I have a couple of things to add. Firstly, arrythmia vs. tachycardia. Tachycardia just means fast heart rate, which is still regular (i.e. consistent beat). An arrythmia...

    Depressed times when I have nothing to be depressed about?

    As a late-stage student in Health (specifically Pharmacy, but we look at more than just the drugs), and as someone who has spent the better part of two years supporting a girlfriend with anxiety disorder and depression, so I may be able to offer something (obviously everyone else in this thread...

    reporting to basic training tomorrow. can't sleep tonight

    Well I guess the thing is I don't think most people who join up are thinking "great, I get to contribute to oppression and suffering". I'm certain there have been people who have joined up in the last few years purely because they've seen what's been going on, disagree with it and want to try...

    Poll: Australian gamers, where do you buy your games?

    Steam, but only when it's either on sale or has come down in price significantly since release. I can only recall one game for which I paid more than $20 on steam lately (Portal 2). If it's either not on steam or too expensive on steam (thanks publishers, we appreciate being charged double...

    Keep in mind that people invariably hold different values and consider different personal criteria before making decisions like this. I totally understand why you disagree with the system and why you'd never be a part of it but consider that it still holds appeal to others for their own reasons...

    Looking for help characterizing some Grey Knights figures.

    By the same token it's equally valid to find parts which give the same impression and combine them to contribute to the overall feel of the model - for example, books and staves have an association, so you might consider finding one or more accessory pieces featuring books and put them on the...

    I'm going through that process at the moment. I made sure to find out beforehand that they currently have spaces available for the job I'm after, since that's what it effectively comes down to. It's all good and well to be found suitable for a job but if the job isn't available you aren't going...

    Looking for help characterizing some Grey Knights figures.

    Guys I think he means characterise them rather than customise them, i.e. come up with some ideas for who they are, which then influences how they should be posed/armed. What I always like to do when posing my models is try to challenge stereotypes/intuitive characters. When I made my custom...

    reporting to basic training tomorrow. can't sleep tonight

    I'm in the process of joining the Aus Army Reserve, gunning for GSO (general service officer). Discovered a few months back that I effectively have a year off uni so I'm trying to get all the training down in the next 12 months so I can go into my last year of uni as a lieutenant.
