No way.

I received opiates after abdominal surgery only after I explained why my pain level was only stated as a 3 or 4 out of 10, if 10 was “The worse pain [I] could possibly imagine.”

2/10 is manageable temporarily but not chronically.

3/10 was the limit where I could hide it. It requires a lot of energy to maintain composure.

4/10 was where movement was restricted.

I can’t quite remember what five and six were.

7/10 means I can’t form complete sentences uninterrupted.

8/10 means I have mostly lost the ability to communicate and I begin to hallucinate.

9/10 means I am unable to understand where I am or what’s happening to me. It’s around this point where I have blacked out.

Never ask someone with a healthy imagination to work on a scale where the limit is the worst they can imagine. Besides, is the scale linear or logarithmic?

Hah

Ditto, but only because it seems more reliable than the windows client. I didn’t bother submitting a bug report because I can’t properly articulate the issue.

I’m having difficulty understanding your post but you’re on the right track with Active PFC causing issues with UPSs.

Catholics: Hungover and dutifully celebrating Mass.

Hercule?

Exactly. The baddies are called ‘terrorists’. The term the media uses to describe good terrorists is ‘rebels’ and sometimes ‘freedom fighters’.

Doctrine is revealed slowly and incrementally like the unfolding of flower petals, but discipline can change as the need arises. Cremation was avoided originally because it was associated with disbelief in the resurrection.

That’s exactly it, and I’m surprised more people don’t see it that way. For such fiction, there will almost always be a bigger nerd that eclipses your own knowledge on any particular aspect of canon, and yet someone pays half-attention to a child’s curriculum or reads a Dawkins or Hitchens book and it’s treated as an insult to their intelligence to politely inform them of something they may have missed.

At least fanfic arguments tend to lean more civil, and are generally seen as an expression of zeal between peers who all enjoy the same thing, albeit with differing opinions on the details.

Limbo for unbaptized infants is a theological opinion that has fallen out of popularity in favour of other, more merciful theories.

Is it possible Paul is referring to the accidents, not the substance?

So, not dairy free, then.

You can blame the Listerine ads for that.

I beg to differ. If it’s not a CoViD test, where would you urinate?

1 asprin […] 1 aleve …

That combination of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatories is probably knocking out more than you think.

There’s an NPR episode of Code Switch on the subject:

Nice try, sentient escherichia coli.

I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.

Ditto. We went from having five channels, one snowy on a bad day, plus a bonus 6th channel when the stars aligned, to two channels at best.

The broadcasters and regulators took a basic fact about digital signals “We can get a better quality signal with less transmission power” and saw it as a challenge to set up their digital transmitters with the most conservative estimate of minimum power required. I haven’t studied well enough for my amateur radio exam to know if I’m comparing apples to oranges, but I’m still shocked to see descriptions of transmitter power go from 100kW in one case to below 20kW.

Too bad Hindi isn’t listed. I’ve found many a “Hearing Impaired” subtitle stream listed as such.
