[20:16] IsambardPrince I know what New Coke tasted like because I actually preferred it to Coke Classic. [20:16] IsambardPrince They were still selling cans of it in an ice chest at the drug store, the "Coke II" until around 1992. So I'd grab a can once a week or so. I still remember it. [20:17] IsambardPrince The funny thing there was the marketing lesson. People preferred it to Coke Classic *and* Pepsi in a blind taste test, so Coke rolled it out figuring that they could just replace their flagship product, and it didn't go over well even though it was better according to solid market research. [20:18] IsambardPrince Flavor and smell are some of the stickiest memories. You can recall exactly what something tasted like from more than 30 years ago.

[21:06] IsambardPrince I voted in favor of that years before it was state law, then federal law. [21:06] IsambardPrince I voted to raise the smoking age to 21 as a county ordinance. [21:06] IsambardPrince It was a binding referendum. [21:07] IsambardPrince Some things really, I believe, you know, that this is an example of where society has to step in and protect younger people who don't make good decisions. [21:08] IsambardPrince Some gaps will always exist, like if they really want them they probably know some people over 21 who will get them. But the point isn't that it's perfect, it's to do what you can to prevent a lifelong habit that's gross and destructive of health and finances. [21:10] IsambardPrince Most people's peer group is people within a year or two of their own age, especially in childhood, so even if raising that age doesn't stop a 19 year old from knowing some 21 year olds who will get them, it might stop some 15-16 year olds who have an 18 year old friend. [21:10] IsambardPrince I want to go further, where we pass one of those laws where every year, the smoking age goes up by one year. [21:12] IsambardPrince Also, consumer pressure is worth applying, like, that got the cigarettes out of CVS. A pharmacy. The joke went, only in America can a sick person have to walk to the back for medicine while the cigarettes are in the front.

Previously not much could be done about feline arthritis pain because cats don't tolerate common NSAIDs like humans can. [22:21] IsambardPrince I'm continuing to research this. [22:22] IsambardPrince I am considering putting Leeloo on a glucosamine chondroitan supplement for cats. [22:22] IsambardPrince They make a thing for cats that's similar to Osteo Bi-Flex. [22:22] IsambardPrince I take the triple strength with Turmeric one. [22:22] IsambardPrince It does make a difference to the pain because it has anti-inflammatory properties between the Turmeric and the boswllia serrata extract. [22:23] IsambardPrince So it helps control moderate joint pain without having to break out the ibuprofen or celebrex constantly. [22:24] IsambardPrince I do occasionally take celebrex but I like to reserve it for if I'm having quite a bit of pain that day. It's something I only use once every month or two. [22:24] IsambardPrince I explained to my doctor that occasionally I just have a day that is too much for just my joint supplement. [22:25] IsambardPrince But almost all my days are substantially pain-free since that surgery and the supplement. [22:25] IsambardPrince Which went about as well as it possibly could have.
