Not sure about that. If men do, it may be because of greater physicality in their jobs and activities.

Or the general risk tolerance our society teaches to boys and men.
One wrecked knee is a result of a boat accident. The other is a result of skiing off a cliff without scouting the landing. The lower back is mostly genetic and partially because my dad was a very unforgiving basketball coach. All of these are from before I was 25. The upper back (and arms, and fingers) is from a jiujitsu injury when I was closer to 40. Other than that, I'm as healthy as any woman!

I think in this thread you're the winner so far. Sorry about that.
I'm also happy that more than a couple of folks came to your defense over in CA.

The microdosing is very interesting.
There is some great work coming out of Yale where they are looking at psychedelics in the context of particular types of headaches, notably Cluster and migraine. There appears to be an effect certainly in cluster on reducing frequency of these very debilitating headaches.
The concern that they and many workers in the field is the long term effects of the drugs.
Classical psychedelics produce their main effects through the 5HT2A serotonergic receptor, and they can be bloc with spec antagonists.
But these drugs also stimulate a vast number of other receptors. 5HT2B, is the one of concern because long term stimulation of this causes cardiac valvular fibrosis (amongst other areas of fibrosis). This was fist seen in some early treatments for migraine, as well as some weight loss medications as well as MDMA.
So the big questions we have is how much for how long. Small dose vs microdose. And we don’t know at this stage. Does this mean you should have an echocardiogram if you’ve used long term? Again don’t know.
The science behind microdosing is at this stage in its infancy. A recent trial in the uk with lsd through imperial college wasn’t particularly promising but the trial may have had some problems.
the other difficulty with trials in these drugs is significant expectations by the participants so trying to remove confounders like placebo effect is difficult.but it’s still very early days in this research.
so it’s all watch this space or some other space (or the wall or flowers or whatever…)

Psychological: Family stuff, girl stuff, panic attacks, anxiety, alcohol and drug abuse.... you know, the usual.
Physical: Wrenched back, broken wrists, ran the pad of my thumb through a table saw, but the funniest (looking back at it) was when I was a freshman in high school;
I was a typical skinny kid but in the summer between 8th grade and high school I grew a little over a foot. It was crazy. I didn't gain one pound and started high school at 6'2" and just shy of 130 lbs. One side effect of the quick growth was that my joints became very loose; my shoulders would pop in and out of the sockets easily and that was bad enough (good news is they usually popped right back in) and my kneecaps would pop out to the side if I twisted my foot outward with weight on it. Still happens now and then.
This hurt like hell and if the kneecap was way out I had to straighten out my leg and hit the kneecap with my hand to knock it back into place. A few times I ended up puking from the pain and strangeness of it.
Good news is it usually wasn't too bad- Always happened when not thinking about it, including twice during rather strenuous lovemaking sessions... That was awkward.
But the best was when I was still in high school. I was up on a ladder and as I was climbing down I twisted to my left to step off the bottom rung when my right kneecap went outboard and stayed there. Somehow I fell onto my right wrist which then broke (radius and ulna). Ended up on the ground screaming and smacking my dislocated knee with my broken wrist. A total "didn't know whether to shit or go blind" moment. The kneecap popped back in, the world turned green and I puked on the floor and almost passed out. Then off to the ER. AGAIN....
Back in school the next day with my knee in a brace and a cast on my wrist everyone was asking what happened. I had some fun telling people (truthfully) that I fell off a 12 foot ladder. I only told them it was the bottom rung after seeing the look on their faces.

Mine was surprising. Generally a fairly high pain-threshold, have (e.g.) broken fingers while working bow, didn't slow me down.
But at one point I had surgery on a toe, which required that they remove the toenail. When it came time for the afollow-up, the nail-bed had started to heal over so they had to "dig" the stitches out of fresh skin.
Only time in my life I've actually passed out.
Well, other than that time after a night at Tequila Willie's in Cabo. For that one, the pain came the next day.

I’m having trouble thinking that’s a real pic……..I mean I’ve seen some knarley shorebreaks but a steep 20 footer in waist deep water……..and none of the wave makes any sense……

Yeah, upon further examination you are probably right, someone had fun with it.

Is it knarley, or gnarley? We have had some deep discussions on this over a few beers and still have no conclusion.

I honestly don't know. My buddy had a lab he named K(G)narley. He spelled it with a "K"....but he was no rocket scientist..........my buddy, not the dog. Come to think of it, they were kinda on a par intellectually.
