that's the kinda thing we (mods and admins) share with people posting about suicidal ideation so I have absolutely no problem with it being a UK centric reminder in this thread

actually I'm gonna save it in the event we have a known brit with similar needs in the future

It's why the concept of wilderness feels so foreign to so many people here. You look at stuff in the US (since we consume so much US media) and there are massive open areas that might have 'an owner' but you know there's nobody that ever goes there or does anything with it.

I am glad to have had the Scottish highlands in my life since it feels like the closest we get.

sometimes when I am reading this thread I forget that i live in a state that is five times the size of England

This sort of thing is not uncommon in the US, and is sometimes next to the "only use this lane if you've paid a toll" lane.



this actually works pretty well over here, i'm surprised to hear it's rare/unknown in the UK

When we eat soft-boiled eggs it's usual to toast and butter a slice of bread and then cut it into 5 lines so each one can be dipped into the soft-boiled egg due to being thin enough, and these are colloquially known as soldiers. Presumably because when originally cut they're lined up perfectly.

Oh, that makes sense. I make eggs over easy and such a lot and do basically that.

actually might have to try the lines thing, more wieldy than a full slice

AI can be fun and could probably have actual utility in another economic model but as it stands it exists between fun and loving people over. :shrug:

chatgpt and Bing have been useful but not transformative in my professional work

they're good for either first drafts of boilerplate nonsense or a quick once over edit of my own first draft of communication, either of which saves me some time and effort

I told my GP that I'm drinking myself to sleep because none of the other medications worked and he prescribed me melatonin, which people can just buy in the US.

I'm not completely certain about its regulatory status in the UK, but unless I'm having jet lag problems, NAC (n-acetylcysteine) works well for me and doesn't have much in the way of side effects or medicine interactions that I know of. Natural feeling sleep, reasonable time period, doesn't cause much morning grogginess, doesn't raise blood pressure (gently caress you, Benadryl).
