Good morning I'm afraid Chevron CEO Mike Wirth says you're already really quite behind on.ft.com/3tKw2rz

And amazingly the most shocking thing is fettuccine Alfredo in the hot tub
Avatar
This is what got me. Like, drugs drugs, sure sure. But creamy pasta in a hot tub is a bridge too far.

I’m a purist and think fettuccine Alfredo shouldn’t contain any cream - just butter & Parmesan and a drop of pasta water. Now I’m thinking about having this in a hot tub, and you know, it’s not entirely awful, though I think it might get chloriney splashes in it if the bubbles are too energetic

Ewwww I didn’t even think of that, you have a solid point here. Before you said that, I was like, I can see it, I can do it. But hot tub water in my food? No thanks 🤮
Avatar
Right? Like even just the smell of the chlorine and the jets going… Also, being really warm and eating creamy foods is a no-go for me.

Am I going to regret asking about 'Halcyon'?

It was, briefly, the world’s best prescription sleeping pill Turned out to be at least as dangerous as the others, but for a while, wow

Yeah I got a scrip for it once for an international flight and it took two flight attendants to wake me up. Apparently I snored for 10 hours.

I just remembered, for the first time in several decades, that the best thing about an otherwise ehh Too Much Joy-ish song my college band played was the title “The Halcion Daze Of My Youth”. I don’t think any of us really knew what it was, but one of us must have, like, seen an item in Newsweek.

Really just another benzo like Lunesta and the rest but it had a certain je nais se qous

Not sure, but I think I do... "Warnings Halcion can slow or stop your breathing, especially if you have recently used an opioid medication or alcohol." www.drugs.com/mtm/halcion....
Halcion Uses, Side Effects & Warningswww.drugs.com Physician reviewed Halcion patient information - includes Halcion description, dosage and directions.

Based on the rest of Thompson’s diet, I wouldn’t say he was too worried about the stopping breathing part

The drug interactions list must for this is hilariously terrifying. Like a goddamn minefield of the most common meds in use, with some interactions making its effects much stronger, and others possibly causing organ damage.

I had a dentist where the receptionist would sel you a single loose halcyon if you asked quiet and brought cash. Great dentist, fantastic drug
Avatar
It was at one point a very common sedative in dentistry, and it's still used today, just not nearly as commonly. It knocks people out for about 1.5 hours, and makes then forget stuff. If it weren't for all the side effects and interactions with common medications, it'd be perfect.

I would guess it's an old med used for taking cokeheads and putting them to sleep, probably physically addictive and also killed a bunch of people before finally being taken off the market.
Avatar
Oh damn, it's still in use, and goes by Triazolam these days. I was right about it being a member of the benzo family though.

I once compared this and Hunter’s schedule on the old place. I wonder which would kill your first? Maybe alternating days of each

He doesn't actually DO anything useful with all that time except picking up his kids. Imagine getting up at 2.30 to tell yourself you're being productive and then fucking about all day long
Avatar
I could do the "7:30pm bedtime" followed by the "3pm rise" on a very consistent basis
Avatar
Oof. The changeover day would be tough.
Avatar
6am shower for 90 mins 8am snack for 90mins He needs to learn to use his time better. He's cheating himself out of at least another hour of working out time.
Avatar
2.45am Prayer? I bet god's thrilled to be up at 2.45am listening to that for half an hour. What does he even find to talk about for that long?
Avatar
Looks efficient, but he has 90mins for the morning snack? Even I can get second breakfast done in under an hour
Avatar
No time for “acting”. At least hes honest.
Avatar
Does he have one very dedicated golf buddy or a rotation of grudging friends who are like “ugh, FINE”
Avatar
Very similar to Jack's, except his has less food in it
Avatar
Avatar
Presumably what he does after 02:30 requires a prayer at 02:45...

None of these people actually do any work

Hunter had finished the morning papers 90 mins before this mook even started them: a true Stakhanovite
Avatar
Technically ten hours after the mook: Hunter started at 3pm, not 3am. Yet he did so much more with his day
Avatar
ahhh, apologies, undercaffeinated and have had no acid yet
Avatar
"Don't talk to me until I've had my acid" would be the best office every day coffee mug.
Avatar
I have a feeling that Hunter did not approve of the end of Daylight Savings Time each Autumn.
Avatar
I can't decide if "Dove Bars" in the hot tub are the chocolate or the soap. After that much cocaine it could be either.
Avatar
absolutely no chance anyone is eating after that much cocaine
Avatar
Its the 6am fettuccine Alfredo that did me.
Avatar
Just showed this to my teenage son, for inspiration.

All I can say is that was some weak-ass acid if he could get to sleep 10 hours after taking it.
