Don’t drink.

A 2011 study in rats claims caffeine and NSAIDs

Once the source of the hangover headache was located, the researchers then set about figuring out how to get rid of the pesky things, using known headache blockers. Turns out the combination of caffeine and over-the-counter inflammatory drugs (i.e., NSAIDs – things like aspirin and ibuprofen) were best at blocking the head-pounding effects of the acetate.

So my tea and ibuprofen breakfast was the right idea!

garbagebagel,

I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but next time take the ibuprofen before going to bed (while still intoxicated). My friends and I always set out an ibuprofen next to the bed before drinking to remember. You’ll feel 10x better in the morning.

CmdrShepard,

I try to avoid ibuprofen or Tylenol as they’re hard on the liver and kidneys which are already working overtime to flush the alcohol out of your system.

SpaghettiYeti,

Yup. Midol apparently.

leaky_shower_thought, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

That trickle-down economics quote. There’s studies about it [not working] published but it’s just studies.

The original quote is “If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows” from Galbraith.

I imagine people are not yet ready to learn this “promise” ain’t holding water.

If my goal is to feed sparrows that’s a very costly and inefficient method. I also end up with an overweight horse.

OutlierBlue,

… and a lot of horse shit.

trolololol,

Checks out with economics results

Fogle, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. And as far as I can tell Einstein never said it but it’s always attributed to Einstein

If I just rolled a 6 I’m not going to expect the same result if I roll the die again.

banana_meccanica, in Fresh water, anyone?

No

“make it was simple as possible”

Super annoying, because the people who use this always forget the second half, which makes the saying useful.

“Make it as simple as possible, but no simpler” it is effectively a re-stating of Occam’s razor.

tigeruppercut, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

I guess you don’t see it too much these days (outside of maybe yearbooks or collections of inspirational quotes), but Frost’s “I took the one less traveled by,/And that has made all the difference.”

If you read the rest of the poem the narrator explicitly states in several different ways that the roads are pretty much the same. So the narrator is saying that by later on saying the roads are different he’ll be retroactively be justifying his choice or just not telling the truth about it.

Bilbo,

Even after rereading the poem I had to read the Wikipedia analysis section to be convinced you are right. It’s a very subtle poem, which, honestly, just makes it better.

tigeruppercut,

I always thought the confusion came from just seeing the last two lines out of context, because the poem itself has descriptions like “Then took the other, just as fair”, “Had worn them really about the same”, and “both that morning equally lay”. It seemed like Frost was really hammering home the equality, considering 15% (3/20) of the lines are talking about the similarities.

Bilbo,

That’s the thing. Being just as fair doesn’t necessarily imply it’s equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn’t necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.

I don’t expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.

It’s only after reading the author’s intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.

As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.

Illecors, in How does one create a sub-group at Lemmy?

Someone had created !typewriters and I could swear it had some content, but engagement was low at the time and I think the creator abandoned it. I can move ownership to you if you’re up to it.

wowwoweowza,

Thank you — I think I’m still finding my way — but I shall contact you when I’ve got more experience here.

Illecors,

Any time!

wowwoweowza,

Hi @Illecors — so, I found the group you shared the link to and I made a comment there.

I do not see the comment.

Another member of this thread also said they had trouble posting.

We are new to this.

Can you guide us regarding how to use the sub before we begin moderating please?

Illecors,

Hey, I’ve replied to your post. I see it has a few upvotes, which implies that federation is working.

In regards to another member - he might have trouble initially if nobody from their instance had subscribed to the community, yet. Once subscribed, everything should be fine.

Illecors,

I’ve also made you a mod.

“If you know, you know”

CarlsIII,

My thoughts when I see this are “well I don’t so you’re wasting my time”

pastermil, in Are those rust spots?

Even if it is, some iron oxide wouldn’t hurt. Some cast-iron teapots even depend on it for improving taste, I’ve heard.

vector_zero,

Though there are different flavors of iron oxide. Gun bluing is iron oxide, but so is rust. One is protective and the other is detrimental.

pastermil,

I was talking about human consumption lol

@maniel@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m standing, that’s the way I always wiped, maybe I was taught to do it this way, but now I’m a big man and I think it would be messy now to write while sitting like my hands wouldn’t fit, we need to research this further, maybe it’s geographical thing, specific to a country, their toilet sizes and it’s history or something

safesyrup, in How does one create a sub-group at Lemmy?

You choose an instance where you want to create your community on and click „create community“ on the respective server‘s sidebar

Justly0250,
@Justly0250@lemdro.id avatar

and for promotions you could use !newcommunities

otter,

Then later on there’s also !communityPromo

nachtigall,

As a side note, OP’s instance does not allow new communities.

maegul,
@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

But users can moderate communities on instances other than their own. So it’s common for a user to create an account on another instance just to create a community, then add their main as a moderator just for convenience. So it’s not a show stopper if OP wants to keep using this account.

wowwoweowza,

I mean instance

wowwoweowza,

This explains so much. What is a better community for me?

There is a product called CLR, calcium lyme and rust remover, available at hardware stores.

SheDiceToday,

Isn’t CLR basically vinegar? All the other stuff in it is just to obfuscate how cheaply you could achieve the same effect.
