I feel like MS and Google should be switched. Web probably has more harvestable info. Plus phones.

If you're ok downgrading from epic Rockies style mountains to just like... Big hills (a hundred foot cliff is still pretty impressive up close, ok 😅), then the maritimes might be pretty good.

Summer and winter are much milder near the cost (although I wouldn't call the weather good), and the east coast is cheaper than the West Coast.

If you live near to a "city" you can get good Internet. I have like 1.5gb fibre, and I live on the boundary between suburban and rural.

Almost all our media was bought up by right wing American think tanks over the last decade, so it won't be long before that stuff makes it here too

Spent a night at the Iceland Blue Lagoon Retreat hotel for a special occasion. It's like $1800 USD per night so it was a huge splurge. We saw Rebel Wilson staying at the hotel too. It was fancy AF.

Absolutely wasted if you only spend one day, but we couldn't afford 2.

Low doses of ibuprofen are better as an anti-inflammatory, and higher doses are better for pain relief, from what I've learned online (I'm not a doctor).
I imagine the muscle pain you were dealing with was due to inflammation from overexertion or something?

It can be prescribed in much higher dosages, unlike paracetamol, but the regular over the counter stuff is the same.

200 ibuprofen = 250 paracetamol
Extra strength just doubles both
But prescription for ibuprofen can go up a bit from that. Never seen a higher prescription for paracetamol.

Good point

Still such a strange flex to brag about working for your boss for free.

I think you replied to the wrong comment

Business owners be like:

How dare these people not give me their labor for free. How greedy of them

And not detect a single drop of irony

It seems like you've mistaken what "strong" means.

But I shouldn't have said "long term". The dangers of each are different.
Ibuprofen is relatively safe to go a bit over the recommended dose, but not over the recommended duration.
Paracetamol is relatively safe to go over the recommended duration, but not the recommended dose.

You're the second person I've seen saying that ibuprofen is stronger than paracetamol. Where does that come from?

It is slightly stronger, but the dose is smaller. A single dose of router either is roughy the same pain reduction, and similar damage for exceeding their recommended usage

I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't

 

What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

 

Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think I've decided my next contest theme, if I win one in the near future

a large green pear with a large mouth. the mouth is open, showing large blunt teeth, and a tongue. the pear is on a meadow with small hills, on a sunny day. oil painting

 

I know FNAF is a "kids game" but putting it next to the Care Bears seems a bit excessive lol

 

Theme

Unexpected Astronaut!

What could possibly be unexpected, unusual, or surprising about astronauts or the situations they find themselves in?

Slowpoke is my favorite ~~jean~~ meme

 

It's bullshit that the opposite of "impeachable" is "unimpeachable" instead of "peachable"
