To be fair, my guess is that it's quite effective against coughs. Edit: gently caress, terrible snipe

Opium suppresses the gently caress out of coughs. I wouldn’t take it lightly for that purpose, but in 1910 you may not have had better options.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Heroin is just more efficient opium, so that makes sense. Unfortunately, the nanny state has decided even that's not allowed, so you can't get the delicious over-the-counter opium syrup anymore here in Denmark. The '90s truly were the peak of civilization. my mom got a prescription of that once, and yeah it had opium. and i was a teenager so i was super tempted to steal it and sell it but i was also a good boy so i stole some of their beers and a fifth of vodka instead

Snowy posted:What’s going on in Sweden? I have Swedish family visiting NYC now and they’re very surprised by the amount of weed here these days. In Sweden it seems like they still treat it as a horrible drug. I see very little sign of heavy drug use when I visit there but I’m probably not in the right places to witness much. The top countries on the list are all relatively far north, with short days in the winter and crappy winter weather. Probably not great for the population's aggregate mental health

I never thought about it before but what the heck did people in Iceland do before electric lighting? You hear about how all productive things happened during the day. Was Iceland just on turbo mode for 6 months of the year and then lazy slumber the other 6 months?

Was Iceland just on turbo mode for 6 months of the year and then lazy slumber the other 6 months? Basically. Winter was for barely surviving in absolute misery and everlasting darkness. Summer was for barely surviving in constant 24/7 light. Both while seriously malnourished. Which is why all of Iceland's traditional foods are barely edible garbage scraps. Because there wasn't anything else to eat on this godforsaken isle until like 1960 and even then they didn't invent good tasting food until around 2005 at the very earliest. (I'm exaggerating slightly. We had immigrants bringing in actual good food as early as 1979. My mother born in 1954 had no running water until she was a teenager and never saw fruit at all outside of Christmas until her mid-twenties) FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Mar 9, 2024 |

Carthag Tuek posted:yeah we're getting closer to all day all night again You’re the first person I’ve ever heard have that sentiment, and I’ve only spent winter as far north as 52 degrees. I’d also probably take up heroin as a hobby if I had to winter above 60 degrees north while working a 9–5 job. The sun being up all night absolutely rules. E: unless you’re an LA cop out on assignment in the far north, like those guys from the film Insomnia who couldn’t get blackout curtains at their hotel or whatever the issue was.

You can still get it OTC at some rural pharmacies in the UK, thanks to the valiant efforts of Dr Browne. They took the indica extract out though. New advice for drivers: don't.

The far tip of South Africa is as far south as like, Cairo, is north. The very southern tip of New Zealand is about as distant from the equator as the frigid wastes of Italy. Ours is a very north heavy planet.

Exploring the url, they do appear to be a Turkish coffee company. From the nation, not just the style. https://www.greenwichcoffee.com.tr/ They have a cute cat and a guy in a tan suit who might be a professional Volodymyr Zelenskyy impersonator.

These maps would be more interesting if they only tried to find natural borders for the current existing states. Not "find every natural border you can and make a new state out of it", because that's not how places that use natural borders work.

Not sure if I'm in favor of this Flemingia containing only a small part of modern-day Flanders, and none of historical Flanders. In fact, looking at it more closely I myself would live in 'France', which I have to admit is a pretty inventive name. Based on the ancient Germanic tribe? A bit far-fetched, but I like it.
