Or of they are a nurse, ask them which home remedy is best for burns: toothpaste or powder coffee?
Vaseline
Get fancy and use Vicks
A gallon of beans
that’s coffee.
Would you like some nut juice with your bean soup? (Adding almond milk to coffee.)
i prefer oat thank you
I’ve heard it tastes better than milk on coffee. Gotta try.
i think so. it gives a little carb flavor without being to carb-y.
Vanilla soy latte is a three bean soup!
Yellow Mustard.
Habanero juice mixed with vicks.
tell them to put a whole onion in their sock and call it a day
Tiger balm.
Just tell them the joke was weak, and move on with your life.
Grapefruit poultice
As a joke it’s perfect 😂 but also: please don’t actually do this—finishing antibiotics as prescribed (or calling your doc if you’re having side effects) is the real pro tip.
If you’re ever lost in a forest, and you want to be rescued, just start building a house. Someone will magically appear to ask if you have a building permit.
In telecoma version is take a fibre optic cable with you and burry it. A backhoe will promptly arrive to dig it up.
If you’re in the desert, start mixing a Dry Martini, an Englishman will appear to tell your recipe is wrong and his is the correct one.
Put on a pair of headphones and start listening to something. Then set about to making shelter or building a fire or something. You’ll be rescued as soon as your hands are full because someone will come along to ask you the single most inane question of your life.
We need one of these for every field.
“OK, I unplugged the computer. … No, I still hear air moving. … What? You mean the footrest? Why would I unplug that?”
I would try Linux, but I’m not some command-line hacker type. I like a nice GUI and Linux just can’t compete with the big guys on that front with all the “packages” or whatever bloating up your knock-off OS.
Are you trolling?
I don’t think so? I know people here love Linux. That’s great. I just have to assume those folks aren’t gamers/power users, because why would I pick an OS that doesn’t support those things? It’s crazy to me. It feels like the people at Linux are trying to lock me out of my own computer, which I own! And I can’t imagine someone’s little hobby coding project is very secure!? Correct me if I’m wrong! I just don’t get it.
Oh OK, you’re not trolling.
You must be joking!
(I’ve got a MIRV correction missile fueling up in my silo now, ready to launch in case you’re not. That’s why I’m asking for so much confirmation, 'cause those things are expensive!)
Man… I get it. I’ve changed at least five windows machines to Linux in the past. This past fall, I was switch my HP spectre to Linux and bricked the fucking thing.
All of the security windows shit meant a bunch of bios changes, then out of nowhere it wouldnt charge the battery.
No idea how to fix it now that the battery and/or laptop won’t recognize the power plugged into any of the usbc ports. Ive tried different chargers, different outlets, and leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, but no life at all. No power means I cant restore to default bios, and Linux wouldnt install because once I was done fucking with the security, i didnt have enough battery to complete the install.
It’s fucking embarrassing.
I then gave up and upgraded to a gaming laptop with a 5070ti, but I’d love to resurrect that old one if anybody has any tips.
Resetting the BIOS involves removing the internal CR2032 battery. Not a charged (main) battery.
Is that a fact? Well, maybe i’ll give that a shot if it’s easy enough. Thanks for the heads up.
Google it for the specific device you have, especially how to open it.

I know you asked for CSV but it wasn’t showing up right so I saved it as PDF. Can I send that to you?
Sends it by taking a photo of the screen, which displays part of the PDF and some questionable browser tabs are clearly visible in the photo.
Edit: questional -> questionable
Course lengths for antibiotics isn’t well studied. From this article:
In fact, the optimal length of treatment in many common infections is not well studied and may be more than a little arbitrary. One infectious diseases doctor has suggested, somewhat satirically, that most of our current rules for antibiotic administration have more to do with the number of days in the week than they do with robust scientific evidence.
We have a growing and, frankly, terrifying issue of antibiotic resistant bacteria from over prescribing and longer than necessary courses.
What the fuck. They told me that antibiotic resistant bacteria was caused by taking too little antibiotics. Who can I trust now???
Over, under, and misuse have resulted in adaptations by bacteria. Which is to say, life evolves. Its too bad, and there is still a role for antibiotics in our world, but we have to trim our use of it.
Realistically, most of the antibiotic resistance issues actually arise from antibiotic usage in farm animals. Turns out you get better and fatter growth if you microdose animals with antibiotics. Plus there’s the added benefit that you don’t need to care as much about animal hygiene or illnesses if they’re just always on antibiotics. Of course, that’s the perfect circumstance for promoting antibiotic resistance. And at the current massive scale of animal farming, antibiotic resistance spreads quickly.
But, you know, that’s an acceptable cost when you consider all the shareholder value that you create by having slightly fatter animals.
Funny thing is, antibiotic resistance is an energetically costly adaptation, and studies show that as long as you drop antibiotic usage below a certain amount, evolution would actually favor deleting antibiotic resistance genes. In other words, if we stopped using antibiotics on farm animals, a large amount of antibiotic resistance would just evaporate basically overnight. Then realize that that would never happen with our current governments
This is exactly the same as saying to a software developer: “I was going to ask you to write me some software to do this, but I’ll just get AI to do it instead”
“I used to do programming when you could put code on your MySpace page”
No, because we wont be compelled to answer…
Good for ya if you solved one of your problem with AI.
Good luck tho.
Let me ruffle all your feathers: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6736742/
That is interesting. But a consideration for the doctor, not the layperson. Everyday people should still take the full course prescribed and hope their physician has prescribed the right dose.
You are absolutely right. People should trust their doctors, but doctors should also update their knowledge.
Here’s hoping they do, yeah. I suspect most do, at least where I live.
“👍”
“Oof. I wonder what I did to piss them off?”
If you have a friend who’s
a pharmacistnot a dipshit…So why do you have to take the full thing of antibiotics? It has never been explained to me
Its because there might be a few bacteria left if you dont eat all the antibiotics
And those survivors might evolve and get resistant to antibiotics
Better to kill them all, leaving no survivors
Let’s not forget to mention that these resistant bacteria start to spread, making antibiotics less and less useful over time, for everyone.
We’re already at a place where antimicrobial resistance has become a huge issue, rendering treatments with antibiotics useless in many cases.
If you ever suffered through a bacterial infection and remember how you felt once the antibiotics finally kicked in, and the prolonged suffering resistances would cause, or ever watched a loved one in a hospital die from a bacterial infection just because the were in a weakened state and the stem they caught was already resistant, you’ll understand why that sucks so much as it does.
That was the theory and how it works in a petri dish, however that’s not how it works in the body.
Antibiotic treatment doesn’t have to kill all of the bacteria. It needs to kill enough so the immune system can catch up and finish the job.
There been evidence for more than 50 years that overly long antibiotic treatments cause resistance to build up faster. That’s why they have limits on the first place.
So there’s a balance between too few days, and to many.
My blood is boiling
You’re gonna want to take extra doses of antibiotics for that.

Comment successful.
We can’t say that for sure until the rest of the results return
Better yet, tell them you were taking antibiotics for a “viral” infection, like a cold.
Jessica Fletcher eh. 🕵️♂️
Just apply some casual emotional manipulation by suggesting self harm and watch the other person trying to ensure you don’t harm yourself.
Is exactly what “Jessica Fletcher” is suggesting. Please don’t…
That not self harm… Stopping anti biotics early can inrease the chance of creating antibiotic resistant bacteria which affect everyone on earth.
You completely missed the point of why a pharmacist would care about this and attributed malice where there is none.
What you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?
Otherwise I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue with me that one should fulfill their treatment plan. I already agree.
I’m not attributing malice. I’m calling it for what it is. Emotional manipulation, intentional or not is beyond the point.
What you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?
No, I didn’t. Understanding why that is the case is the key to understanding this post.
You specifically said that it was threatening self-harm. That is not true.
You are now trying to move the goalposts. I will accept that as you understanding that what you said was not correct.
If you are promoting antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, is that not self harm? I sure think it is.
Not all self harm is cutting, starving, or suicide.
The reason why a pharmacists would care is more the fact that once the resistant bacteria gets out of your body and into the world it reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics for every human.
The push to get people to finish their courses of antibiotics is done to keep antibiotics effective for everyone.
Yeah. So we agree that she’s threatening self harm (minimum) to solicit a response from someone. Emotional manipulation.
I’m glad we managed to argue our way to what we already concluded from the start.
It’s still not threatening self harm 🤣.
