Despite the late start, he must have got it right somehow. Good on him! Bad sex and bad relationships are usually writing source material gold, so I'm guessing maybe he managed to get laid a lot without too much drama.

Great! I actually have on my to-do list to reread Consider Phlebas and Look to Windward, it's been so long I've mostly forgotten them. (But first I have a book about octopus brains.)

The efficacy of Journavx was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled trials of acute surgical pain, one following abdominoplasty and the other following bunionectomy. ... Both trials demonstrated a statistically significant superior reduction in pain with Journavx compared to placebo.

So Journavx is better than nothing (placebo), but they don't say how it compares with any other painkiller (active control).
