If you're taking a lot of pills, which ill people often do (e.g., cancer patients), it's easy to forget.

Also, people with memory issues...

Agreed!! Here’s my trick: take 1g and set an alarm for +6 hours. If I don’t need it, fine. If I do, repeat.

Spine issues are the single thing that pish me to ibuprofen or naproxen over acetaminophen. The latter does nothing for my issues.

Anecdotally: ibuprofen, methylprednisolone, epidural lumbar steroid injection all did little to nothing for my herniated disc nerve pain.

Acetaminophen worked wonders, even better than an opioid.

yeah, its the inflammation going down that reliefs the nerve.

Took me 3 months, out of 2 i wasn't able to sit. Luckily I could walk and that give me great relief. So walked for hours.

Keeping the habit, will mostly being coding from my phone & walking from now on.

Really nice you found a workaround. I am constantly trying different ways to alleviate my pain without drugs.

I've worked for 40+ years with a hardware guy and he's great at software, for one reason: attention to detail. In hardware, you have to test, test and test. There's no "fixed it later with a patch" (for the most part).

Bodge wires in shipped products beg to differ!

Evolutionarily this makes sense. Lower testosterone means less carousing, and better fatherhood.

Or how carelessly loud teenagers are! Oy!

Disappointing that there was not a single picture in the post. And, wow, it’s long!

There’s a small mention of beef bones having been customarily thrown away and I have doubts that that could be true at all levels of society - unless there was some Vietnamese cultural thing against it that no longer exists.

He did speak a little distainfully of taking pictures of your pho or having your phone handy while eating.

I think the lack of pictures emphasizes focusing in the moment and enjoying the experience and then remembering it fondly later.

.. or skipping reading the article if you look at it during some short break

The purest phở is the one that exists only in your imagination.

Real phở has never been tried.

Loved him on Fringe.

The economics of movies, tv etc are changing. If the Warner Bros purchase goes through it will only get worse. The debt load the acquiring company will have will increase pressure on actor paydays. And let’s not forget who is controlling the company. It will be ugly.

Microsoft refuses to send emails to itself? How bizarre.
