Wasn’t that a scene from the Big Bang theory?

As much as I revere Beethoven, part of me thinks it'd be a hoot if they established that he was not actually deaf.https://www.cnn.com/style/article/beeth ... index.html
Found this pretty neat. Scientist have done research on Beethoven via DNA in his hair to try to get a clearer look on what lead to his hearing loss and his health ailments. Also found out his great grandfather 7 times removed had a bastard child in the 1500s.

Steve Lehto put out a video about that today or yesterday; I saw the title but haven't watched yet.
I say, "Yes. Let's go do this trial thing," and let me know where can I donate to *checks names * Afroman's legal defense fund. I would very much love to see this one litigated.

I wonder if it was a situation where dust from a sugar container was ignited? Wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened.

This is starting to get wider coverage. This is a legitimately horrific epidemic. So is this article. This woman is one year younger than me. Man.Tranq Dope: Animal Sedative Mixed With Fentanyl Brings Fresh Horror to U.S. Drug Zones
https://www.yahoo.com/news/tranq-dope-a ... 42327.html
An animal tranquilizer called xylazine — known by street names like “tranq,” “tranq dope” and “zombie drug” — is being used to bulk up illicit fentanyl, making its impact even more devastating.
Xylazine causes wounds that erupt with a scaly dead tissue called eschar; untreated, they can lead to amputation. It induces a blackout stupor for hours, rendering users vulnerable to rape and robbery. When people come to, the high from the fentanyl has long since faded and they immediately crave more. Because xylazine is a sedative and not an opioid, it resists standard opioid overdose reversal treatments.
More than 90% of Philadelphia’s lab-tested dope samples were positive for xylazine, according to the most recent data.

No cure for the withdrawal.
Even when opioid withdrawal is contained, the harsh xylazine withdrawal continues. People keep using tranq dope for fear of “getting sick”: migraines, double vision, nausea, numbness in fingers and toes, sweats and body-rattling anxiety. There is no medical protocol yet for managing it; Dr. D’Orazio typically uses anti-anxiety drugs to treat the patient’s symptoms.
She unrolled a bandage from elbow to palm. Beneath patches of blackened tissue, exposed white tendons and pus, the sheared flesh was hot and red. To stave off xylazine’s excruciating withdrawal, she said, she injects tranq dope several times a day. Fearful that injecting in a fresh site could create a new wound, she reluctantly shoots into her festering forearm.

I'm sure you've see those videos of people barely able to walk on Philly drug streets.
