    Not OP, but they do.

    I have severe cat allergy and a pretty bad dog allergy, but gen3 antihistamines, when taken in advance, take care of it fairly well. Whatever I feel is usually just psychosomatic, and goes away with the first beer. Context: Christmas parties at friends houses who have dogs & cats.



  • No one calls out decimals in Celsius. Unless you are measuring your kids fever. 38.1 vs 38.5 vs 38.9 you know that it’s time to ready the metamizole if it keeps creeping up like that

    0°C is the frost point of water. If you know it will dip below that during the night, you can prepare your plants, driveway, kids (I’m sorry my love summer is over), pets, clothes, etc the day prior.

    -40° is -40° though, doesn’t matter if it’s F or C. The best part of both scales.




  • Yeah, it was a very wasteful system. As in wasting both my time and that of tax payers.

    I didn’t care that I was technically entitled for unemployment money. After the first three locations that I’ve gotten offered, including sitting through a job seminar that quasi-turned into a car-wash operator course, where I was surrounded by folks that were really eager to take that job offer, I’ve declined further appointments at the youth job centre and sought out IT employers by myself.



  • Maybe this is too communist for some people, but it would be nice if some government body just matched me with a job that matched my skillset and education

    I actually used government services, while unemployed, back in the early 2000s, but they were very miss. All they seemed to be focusing on was you hitting a quota of seeking out employers that they have listed for you, regardless of what you claimed to be as your profession or qualifications. Just so you can stay on the dole.
