A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs, for you, cause sweating.

Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

Maybe? I worked at McDonald’s for 6 years so what do I know. I never worked at McD as a kid, so I learned it somewhere! As a software developer, McDonald’s was the best job of my career. The kids that I “taught” were not being exploited. Seriously, regular work grinded to a halt. Making 5 icecream cones an hour, albeit with child labor, is not an improvement. 95% of the kids were children of teachers of the local school - it was a big show for all of the regular parents to see their teachers kids serve them food. Dystopian? Maybe. At the end of the day, I believe working food service benefits most people.

Define exploitative? As a person that had led these events (not organized them), work basically halts during these events. You are literally showing children how to operate machines. It’s a show for the parents. The kids are not being exploited anymore than if you took them to a ranch and they brushed a horse. The children are not improving operations or efficiency. Bu all definitions, they make work worse.

Probably 80% of America can? Yeah, it’ll take 5+ years to accomplish, but it’s not unattainable.

Most people don’t accomplish 6 months emergency fund in 1 year, no. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Then you save 6 months expenses.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 10 months ago:
Well, yes, but they serve drastically different markets, and the ownership structure is different. Ryobi is for the home owner that occasionally uses tools, and is licensed by a Japanese company to allow TTI to produce the brand. Milwaukee is for heavy daily use, and is wholly owned by TTI.
- Comment on The History Channel, now in the fantasy section. 1 year ago:
Think about it. A show with no grounding in facts. A series full of outlandish propositions. 200+ episodes that invalidate the accomplishments of the most intelligent species in the history of the planet… and get that very same species to believe it. How could such a thing be possible? Could it be that the producers of the show had help from beings of a different species altogether? And could that species have come… from a different planet altogether?
Or could it be, the average person won’t sit through an hour-long documentary… or worse, a 6-hour series, at a set time in a set place every week, but “factual entertainment”? The history channel has become extremely good at delivering interesting nuggets of information with very little elaboration, and if you were interested you could look it up on Wikipedia.
Or don’t. Think that this extremely well produced and funded show is about proving aliens is real, and not about getting viewers.

Woosh 😆

Have you considered that it’s a ploy to get people to learn about history through and absurd entertaining format? They present real history and then rather than trying to explain it, they give you nonsensical evidence, that, truly, very people believe. And for the people that claim to “believe” it maybe you should look into Poes law
