Big factor for me is whether or not either of you have lived rural before.

I worked in a very remote medical center not too far from where you're considering. I needed to send a patient to a hospital for a severe infection one of my first days there. Life flight refused because of winter weather. The ambulance driver came to me and quietly asked if the patient really needed to go today. After I told him yes it was striking to see them strap tire chains, shovels, and a generator to the exterior before leaving. They really weren't sure they were going to get to town that night.

You miss out on many of the benefits of modern medicine when you're in a town of less than 20,000, and you'll need to be ok with driving for hours for specialist care in a city of less than 100,000.

I-80 in Wyoming closes so often for weather that they have permanently installed gates across all lanes.

That being said, an adventurous and self-reliant lifestyle is one of the best things you can do for your health and longevity. If you know what you are getting into and think this would help you thrive, I'd say go for it with the agreement that if health changes you will move back to a city.

Awesome. Thank you for the links! I've been down the rabbit hole thanks to your comments.

I have a framed attic space I'm finishing into a bedroom/office. There's a gas line of copper pipe that runs right across the opening into what would be the obvious closet. Needs to be shifted three feet back to the other side of the studs.

I don't mess with gas so wanted to get someone licensed to do it. One ghosted his appointment. Another asked for $150 to even show up to give a quote. The one quote I have says $2500-3500. Three others haven't picked up or returned calls. I've worked copper pipe before. This would take me an hour, tops. Maybe $50 materials. I guess I'll go without a closet here.

Same story for adding a window. $8000 initial estimate from the one person willing to show up. Guess the existing window is good enough for me now.

Everything else I'm doing myself and having a good time with it.

History and the motivation to make money say you're spot on. Despite that, I'm still happy to be opening up new pathways for pain reduction. I'm hoping for the best for this and other options.

I'm with you. A good 5+ year lag after FDA approval is a good idea if that's an option. That being said, the FDA is generally good with drug safety and these studies look good.

The placebo control is key, and it was at least statistically better than placebo.

You're right that it's hard to tell if it is more or less effective than hydrocodone+acetaminophen but it's good news either way because it can potentially reduce the use of opioids and be another option.

The linked memo states

except for assistance received directly by individuals.

I don't know what this means. Nobody knows what this means. I work in a federal agency. The instructions coming down are vague and even self-conflicting but threaten severe consequences if not exactly followed.

Cool.

Antiferromagnets could be incorporated into future memory chips that store and process more data while using less energy and taking up a fraction of the space of existing devices, owing to the stability of magnetic domains.

Oh. Wow.

Quick, everybody down vote op for asking a question

Amazing quality of life upgrade. It feels like a million bucks to have hot water instantly. However, when I looked into this for my home it seemed like it saves water at the increased energy expense of heating your pipes, right? For me it would end up costing more than living without it.

Do I have this wrong?

Fun!

Still trying to figure out exactly what was wrong about what he did. A linked article says:

"...the defendant violated the Lacey Act that restricts wildlife trafficking and prohibits the sale of falsely labeled wildlife."

I guess specifically bringing embryos/sperm of a banned animal into Montana, more than the cloning operation.
