You can ice the area beforehand, and leave the med on the counter to warm to room temp. Both should reduce pain. You can also take paracetamol 30 min before. It is normal to be averse to pain, and if it hurts less the process will become easier

Looking forward to reading what you find. Do you plan to send these to news outlets or something? It seems like journalists would be all over this FOIA process already

Given how many wordy reddit comments I made over a decade -- replete with em dashes -- I can't help but see myself in these little LLM guys. Brings a tear to my eye
