There are better antibiotics, which work with less frequent doses, but they’re only given out when medically necessary. I assume having bill gates’ wealth (and control of a whole bunch of anti malaria initiatives) means you have access to the kind of antibiotic you choose, you can even justify it by saying that you’re bill gates and you have a sixty hour workweek with the foundation, even in retirement, and you simply cannot take more than two days off, but antibiotics make you feel too weird to work, if you want.

The weirdest part for me is that he’s incapable of slipping his wife antibiotics. I get that you’re rich enough to never need to, but do you really never make her a cup of tea or anything?

Also, the choice probably isn’t “be poor or rich,” but rather ”be dead or rich.”

Well…….not safely and legally, at least.

I would have taken it like that from anyone else, but it’s so OOC that I checked the spelling to see if it was a novelty account

There was a time, in December of 2016, where I really thought that trump might come out as a democrat after taking office. I think I’d still prefer Gore had been inaugurated, if we’re changing the presidencies of this century, but trump coming out swinging for progressive causes (or at least socially progressive causes, because he’s been too rich for any actually leftist fiscal policies) would have been nice

I never took it in school, and I don’t have much contact with it now either. I’m picking up some Arabic now though.

I took Spanish from age 12-22 and German from 18-23 and 29-31.

I speak both those languages, though my Spanish is rusty, because I moved to Germany and don’t have much contact with Spanish speakers.

The rubes argument was less fun than I expected.

You could always sabotage it

Maybe it’s just in this specific case, but if you can’t find any enjoyable music from an entire decade, that’s on you. Unless you want to try and make the case that you’re the only one with good taste and the rest of us are just lowly rubes, which is obviously ridiculous (though I’d probably enjoy the attempt).

But you’re allowed to have narrow taste and it’s not an insult. No need to get offended.

I know several, but they were mostly born in Germany or immigrated young.

No music in the 60s was good? I think you might just have some very narrow taste.

Move further away from the city center and use good public transportation to get to the places you need to be. There’s a point at which it no longer works, but super fast, regular trains can do a lot.

That’s not exactly how I would have imagined a kibblesmith smiths kibble, but as long as the pets get the cubes afterwards, I’m happy

“Grate” joke? Or did I get double whooshed?

Maybe she doesn’t know if she’s joking or not either. Only one way to find out!

Because you’re upside down

If you’re an adult in no danger of pregnancy and not breastfeeding, licking the solder wire once won’t hurt you noticeably.

But if you’re worried that you’ll like the taste and might seek it out again, that’s a possibility.

Do they still feel slimy if they’re finely diced? I love the taste but hate the texture of mushrooms, and mincing them to incorporate into a dish is the best of both worlds for me.
