100mg seems like 80mg

[Luke]

Ever since coming to this area I have felt like my prescription medication needed to be dosed up just to clear the delirium. Maybe its the change in altitude.

I thought maybe if I walked around the city and got a little air that I might find some place where it was easier to clear my head, but it didn't seem to fix the delerium.

Oddly enough it seems to be treating one of the symptoms better, but the other one is still wreaking havoc on me.

Right now I am increasing dosage, but it's having a toll. Side effects like over-sleeping and sore muscles are resulting. If any of you are taking medication I suggest using a higher prescription only for the necessary ones.

Sometimes the treatment hurts worse than the illness does. We can all handle a headache or sore throat. We should focus on trying to help out the cancer patients.

Is anybody else feeling lightheaded and queasy or is only my delirium being affected?

I think you've nailed it, man. Not to mention that no matter how rough the symptoms are, alcohol and meds don't mix...ever.

I can't believe I said that.

Either way, it's all getting really wonky of late. I've said a couple of times "screw this medicine, I'll fix it my own damn self", and there's usually a way, if the body is willing.

Yeah...it's not just you.

Wort part about this, is I can't figure if your speaking code or if your just trying to fuck with my brain. anyway, someone wanna translate for those who don't understand the understandings of the inner workings of someone who works with drugs.

By the way, if your thinking on the lines of prescipition intake, I wouldn't up the dosage, i'd down it slightly, instead of 100mg go with about 75 mg. It might work.

Are you an electrician?
Let's try a different metaphor.

The oddest thing is happening in my house.
Strange shit is going on.

The power went out in my kitchen, but the lights in the living room and the television stayed on. I checked the circuit breakers, but they weren't flipped.
Some of the spells I tried were waning while others worked fine.

It seems like the power just isn't being converted to the right area as if there's something wrong within the power grid itself.
Prime doesn't seem to be flowing the way it should. Are the ley lines shifting? or losing power?

This happens sometimes in older houses so I tried to find one that was closer to the electric company maybe one with better wiring.
Maybe I misread the resonance and it's not attuned to what I was casting. I thought if I found a powerful hallow or one with a similar resonance it might channel better

However, even in places where the electrical grid seemed to be working fine the kitchens were still having power shortages.
The hallow didn't help. I was still having the same problem.

Ok, why are we speaking in code?

[Timothy]

It helps us stay up on how to mix metaphors for when we're speaking where others shouldn't be in the know.

The Food and Drug Administration has specific terminology that it uses and has adapted for its own purposes. It uses a codified system to make sure that the exact nature of its purpose is upheld.

FDA requirements are a standard level of health required for all food and drug providers. This lowers the chances of spreading contaminants and contaigous diseases.

Locally, while Arkos might sit on the Board of Health it is our combined efforts that keep the city from falling into illness.

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the intended recipient knows of the existence of the message; this is in contrast to cryptography, where the existence of the message itself is not disguised, but the content is obscured.

The word "Steganography" is of Greek origin and means "covered, or hidden writing". Its ancient origins can be traced back to 440 BC. Herodotus mentions two examples of Steganography in The Histories of Herodotus [1]. Demeratus sent a warning about a forthcoming attack to Greece by writing it on a wooden panel and covering it in wax. Wax tablets were in common use then as re-usable writing surface, sometimes used for shorthand. Another ancient example is that of Histiaeus, who shaved the head of his most trusted slave and tattooed a message on it. After his hair had grown the message was hidden. The purpose was to instigate a revolt against the Persians. Later, Johannes Trithemius's book Steganographia is a treatise on cryptography and steganography disguised as a book on black magic.

Generally, a steganographic message will appear to be something else: a picture, an article, a shopping list, or some other message - the covertext. Classically, it may be hidden by using invisible ink between the visible lines of innocuous documents, or even written onto clothing. During World War II a message was once written in morse code along two-colored knitting yarn[citation needed]. Another method is invisible ink underlining, or simply pin pricking of individual letters in a newspaper article, thus forming a message. It may even be a few words written under a postage stamp, the stamp then being the covertext.

The advantage of steganography over cryptography alone is that messages do not attract attention to themselves, to messengers, or to recipients. An unhidden coded message, no matter how unbreakable it is, will arouse suspicion and may in itself be incriminating, as in some countries encryption is illegal


...and people wonder why Im lost in a dream like state half of the time. The messages that are placed upon our plates are there because we are ment to find them. Like the cunning duplicitous swiss girl who left that question on my plate. She was wearing a red dress in regress of our situation. While holding five fingers behind her back her thumbs grew to gigantic stature. Hithicking her way across the galaxy. She saw every relationship as a pair of intersecting circles. It would seem at first glance that the more they overlapped the better the relationship; but this is not so. Beyond a certain point the law of diminishing returns sets in, and there are not enough private resources left on either side to enrich the life that is shared. Probably perfection is reached when the area of the two outer crescents, added together, is exactly equal to that of the leaf-shaped piece in the middle. On paper there must be some neat mathematical formula for arriving at this; in life, none.

To those of you who wish to find this message in life I say good luck. For those of you who can see a way past these diminishing returns...I am forever your servent. Look for the awnsers in everything you can experience. I am waiting for you there. I am not the awnser but just a lens.

In the case of two circles of equal size, the ratio of the distance between their centers and their radius is often quoted as approximately 0.807946. But that seems to hold for the case when the three areas each are of equal size. The solution for the problem is approximately 0.529864.

The problem as it was stated about cryptography is that you are actively looking for a pattern to break. Morse code has been cracked by better men than me and has been made available for public consumption.
