Please follow up with a doctor! I am not a medical professional and what I have written is entirely anectodal and unverified.

Tetracycline is an antibiotic, so it kills stuff in your gut. Not all of it, but it is best to take probiotics if you’re taking any kind of antibiotic just to keep your gut flora a little happier. It also kills the bugs that tend to be the reason there’s pus in acne, which are what cause acne to be red and bumpy

Accutane is like a roided-out version of vitamin A and works like vitamin A in your skin, just even more vita-tastically, or whatever scientific term is appropriate. This means that it clears up some of the causes of acne (makes your skin produce less oil, shrinks pores so they can’t clog as easily, etc.), but it’s so freakin’ vitastic that it goes too far. All my friends on Accutane in high school needed lip balm 24/7 and a few of them had frequent nosebleeds, especially while playing sports. One of them had to go off it very soon after he started because it made his acne much worse and he ended up with a pustule 2.5 inches across on his back that needed to be drained and packed.

Inflammatory bowel disease is another thing that seems to pop up down the line for some accutane users, but AFAIK no formal causal link had been established, or perhaps heads are just in the sand. For what it’s worth, one of the folks I know from high school that took accutane has been dealing with inflammatory bowel problems since shortly after she took it, which was around 20 years ago.

Very different drugs that work on acne from entirely different angles. Tetracycline won’t cause long term gut health problems all on its own unless you take it for far too long, or at unsafe dosages.

Every single time I’m scrolling and Carter’s face pops up at the bottom of my screen I think “Oh, he’s reached the end of his long, full life,” and them nope he’s fine and older than most people will ever get. Go Jimmy!

So it would seem.

When you take a shower does the shower flow through you or along your edges?

I want a slide out keyboard like on my G1.

Yes, I know. As I said, it’s the northern border of the state between the Pacific and just south of Kennewick, Washington. But it does not flow through Oregon, as only the south bank is ever on Oregon land.

The Columbia enters Washington from the north and then becomes its southern border all the way to the ocean. Being entirely surrounded by Washington for part of its course, it is accurate to say that the Columbia flows through Washington. Since the Columbia only interacts with Oregon as its northern border, beginning and ending its interaction on the same side of the state, it can not be said to flow through Oregon.

But wait! What about Sauvie Island and the Columbia slough? Are those not examples of the Columbia flowing through Oregon? Yeah, but not on the same scale and there’s nothing on Sauvie Island except for corn mazes and naked people.

The Columbia runs from a lake in British Columbia, down through Oregon and eventually ends up in the Pacific Ocean.

The Columbia does not run through Oregon, it is the northern border of it from just south of Kennewick, Washington to the Pacific Ocean. The only US state that the Columbia actually flows through is Washington, which makes sense since the river starts in Canada, which is north of Washington, which is north of Oregon. Odd choice of verbiage.

USB-PD standards push 50v. Go with wall voltage (110-220v 60/50hz) to be sure.

You’re more likely to inadvertently press obliquely just a little too much and have the whole thing fall over, spilling hot coffee and grounds all around while possibly breaking the mug you were pressing into.

It’s not hard, but if you do it the food web collapses.

I thought you were gonna link to this.

I had one for my Game Gear that added more than few inches to the handheld’s depth, but did a decent job of semi-rectilinearly magnifying the screen. The backlight probably helped, since it wasn’t relying on light bounding in through the lens and then back out.

If he sells now, the value drops immediately to zero and a big thing with Trump’s name all over goes down in flames just before the election. That doesn’t help him at the polls.

We can’t trust him to do what he says, but we can trust him to look out for himself.

It’s that basic lack of respect that keeps my parents at an arm and a half’s distance. There was nothing I did as a child that the rest of the world didn’t hear about, even if I specifically asked them to keep something quiet. I stopped asking after a while, because I realized that guaranteed that they’d talk about it. Fucking weirdos.

Ditto. 7800X3D is a beast for games and I don’t give half a shit about productivity performance on my gaming machine. I got mine for around $350 early this year and I’m absolutely floored that it’s now over $400. That’s not the direction things are supposed to go.

I think we may be in the last generations of x86’s desktop and laptop dominance. All phones and now all Macs run on ARM-based chips and they do just fine while sipping watts, compared to x86’s two big proponents both having faltering launches on their latest generations with ever higher TDPs where you only get more processing power by using more electrical power.

You need to get the black powder version for that.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

DRINK VERIFICATION CAN

It’s hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.

I feel like dealing with SD cards’ inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?
