"Jigger" has several meanings, one of which is https://www.dictionary.com/browse/jigger posted:"Informal. some contrivance, article, or part that one cannot or does not name more precisely." I think that's why the bug is named as such. It's a dingus, a thingumbob, a doodad.

Yeah, Twitter started being really annoying last year, bugging you on every page to sign up for an account but they recently made it so you can't even view anything unless you're signed in. This extension seems to have done the trick in removing that though. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/breakthrough-twitter-loginwall/ edit: Here's the chrome version which I assume also works. Made by the same guy. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/breakthrough-twitter-logi/ohhifopcgokjpbnppnmjbdnjnfcfnlep

Hyperlynx posted:Right, but if you look at the ingredients for Tylenol, it will say "acetaminophen". It will not say "paracetamol", is the point. Yeah only problem with that is if you're in real pain but e.g can't afford healthcare people chug those things like they're going out of style in desperation. Plus the amount of other OTC concoctions that have some inside. It can all add up. It's not an everyone problem but it is a problem. Plus, don't give it to kids.

This extension seems to have done the trick in removing that though. There's also Nitter, which doesn't nag for a login, doesn't crop images, and automatically puts threads the right way around. And which provides RSS links, so with an RSS reader you can have a Twitter feed without even having an account! (This is perfect for me, since history shows I can't be trusted to not scream at the Nazis and similar shitheads. And I still don't get why replying is taboo, even though the reply button is right there. I've just accepted that, for me, Twitter is read-only).

I think its important to know the difference between acetaminophen and aspirin because you can take both at the same time but you can't take aspirin with ibuprofen

When I worked at Target a British lady came in looking for the paracetamol and I had to explain to her that we don't use that word in the US and she had to look for acetaminophen/tylenol. Except I was just some dumb kid working at Target, so she looked at me like I had no idea what I was talking about. I told her she could look it up on her phone to be safe and she just kinda politely nodded and wandered back to the aisle. On the other hand everyone in retail lies and gives bad information to customers constantly, so maybe her skepticism was warranted.

US here and I've always called it acetaminophen. One of my professors told us Tylenol is one of if not the most dangerous drug based on the criteria of how far an effective dose is vs a toxic dose. And that people don't really know it'll shred your liver. A common use case is to take for a hangover after you've already beat the hell out of your liver, so yeah it makes sense that at least in the poorly educated US it's doing some damage.

Hyperlynx posted:Where'd you hear that? It only does that above the therapeutic dose. Take it as directed and you're fine. Pound them and you'll gently caress up your liver. The same is true for most medicine - if you exceed the therapeutic dose practically all drugs can cause harm. I believe they also can if you have alcohol at / near the same time which is likely enough to occur.

I remember reading that orders of magnitude more people get acute Tylenol poisoning every year than any other off-shelf drug. That poo poo needs to be behind the counter at the very least.

That poo poo needs to be behind the counter at the very least. yeah my uncle died of organ failure basically because of pairing it with alcohol as a painkiller for a year post surgery. i am pretty sure it's not so bad to use sparingly though given it's widespread usage. its high numbers are probably much to do with being the most commonly taken drug in the country or whatever

What you are supposed to do if you are in a lot of pain and/or have an illness with fever is to use an NSAID (ibuprofen OR naproxen OR aspirin, not a combo) and alternate the dosage with acetaminophen/paracetamol. I.E. one dose for the 6 hour duration of an NSAID like Advil, and then after those 6 hours are up you use Tylenol. Doing so essentially guarantees you cannot overdose. This is assuming you can take these drugs ANYWAY because you aren’t allergic or it will contraindicate/complicate another medication or condition. Just remember both will gently caress you up in different ways. NSAIDS = fucks your stomach lining and kidneys. Tylenol = fucks your liver. Don’t overuse any of them, but Tylenol is the easiest to overdo and arguably the most fatal. Using alcohol with any drug will basically gently caress you. Please do not use alcohol with drugs if you tend to heal yourself. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 18:14 on Feb 10, 2022 |

The messed up thing is that sometimes it's there specifically to gently caress people up that try to abuse the stuff it's added to.

Regarde Aduck posted:Tikka Masala is the UK curry of choice, but nevermind about that, does the US just not have Korma or what? Haven't heard of korma but that doesn't mean it isn't popular in some parts of the US. It's a big place that is basically 50 countries smushed together, so there's a lot of variety. The places around here tend to do a lot of butter chicken, tandoori stuff, biryani and masala. I'm a vindaloo fan myself.

Like you probably won't find legit foreign food in bumfuck ohio, but any major city will have several options, at least one of which is probably good.
