UK here. We have fluoride in our water. My understanding is it’s good for teeth and helps prevent dental problems with little/no downsides.

My dad is a conspiracy theorist nut who thinks it’s a government mind control agent or something so both sides get purchase over here.

I know we’re talking audiophiles here but the budget option is £350!

We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn’t manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who’s died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you’re only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it’s still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you’ve got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it’s normal.

Was scrolling through to see if this was posted yet. Such a hard game, emotionally and mechanically. I’ve never managed to get very far through it before everything goes wrong and my characters start dying horribly (Which is entirely the point).

It’s a really good portrayal of the civilian toll of war I think.

Anywhere you can buy food here you can probably get alcohol. Corner shops, petrol stations, supermarkets all have booze.

In the UK we measured alcohol in units the recommended limit being 14/ week. Spirits like vodka are served in 1 unit = 25ml. So their low to medium drinking is already more than the UK national recommendation by 4 drinks and you’d be getting advice on how to reduce your drinking by a Dr. Though that 450ml/week is real easy to get to that’s one vodka and coke per day if your free pouring rather than measuring. Many lay people wouldn’t consider that a problem at all.

Admittedly we do have a fairly problematic relationship with alcohol in this country.

Definitely agree with your take to make booze harder to get and more highly taxed like smoking. At least the younger generations seem to not be drinking so much.

Ankmemes is a proper niche, not sure I’ve ever seen Ankylosaurus memes before so I didn’t know I needed them in my life.

Thanks for putting together this list, I’ve gotten 4 new subs from here.

These are awesome, keep up the good work!

I mean have you ever “seen” a purple Ork?

I don’t miss anything about the town I grew up in. It was full of chavs(who hated the fat nerd), had no entertainment options (the high street was banks and betting shops), very white and racist, 45 minute bus trip to the nearest cinema and the only thing it was known for was having a very high rate of teenage pregnancy.

I even lived there for a while after I came back from uni and tried really hard to keep in touch with my school friends but nobody made an effort.

Where I live now is much better.

I have a grandfather clock I inherited from my uncle after he died. It’s a beautiful piece and reminds me of the good times I had with him every time I hear it chime.

You probably need to do some self reflection and examine your feelings towards women as to why you have those views. Have you considered therapy to help you with these feelings?

Regarding coping without sex, for me it was always more the physical and emotional contact than sex itself. Hugs with friends and family help. Maybe something like a massage (not necessarily a happy ending) could help, having someone else pay attention to you and the physical touch with another human might help.

So in the UK official guidance is to encourage patients to record encounters provided it doesn’t compromise other patient privacy. This is because it helps patients remember what’s said and medics shouldn’t have anything to hide with their patients.

I had a pair of Docs which fell to bits on me after about a year of regular use. I’ve since got 2 pairs of boots and a pair of trainers from Solovair and, after wearing in, they are the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned. I’ve worn, mostly the boots, every day for work for about 2 years now with no problems at all. I’ve even managed to get them mostly waterproof with liberal applications of dubbin wax.

Check out the outlet store (like on the main website), you can pick up shoes with slight defects or end of lines for significant discounts over new.

It really is a versatile game, especially with mods.

Now that is a lot of Skyrim. I do have to ask is that 5k hours playing or like 3k hours getting all the mods to work properly? I found modding Skyrim and playing modded Skyrim were 2 slightly different games when I was exploring mods for it.

That seems reasonable. Far cry Blood Dragon had a really entertaining tutorial. Very tongue in cheek funny and lots of sarcastic comments from the main character.

So portal 1 is about 75% tutorial but it’s done so well you don’t mind.

The long grind tutorials have definitely put me off games before though especially in some older games.

There are multiple mods which redo the start, some even have totally different locations and challenges compared to the default.

Been to long since I played to remember what they are called but worth a look maybe.
