I know not of this cold basking in 22C and full sun out in Bestern Australia. 29C tomorrow, then a Melbourne-esque pivot to 19C and rain on Friday before I head home.

I'm not really that keen on going back to work at one of my jobs after this...

The spelling bee show on abc has the potential to be entertaining, however, the host Guy Montgomery is exceptionally creepy to me. There’s something about his voice and mannerisms that gives me uncanny valley murderous vibes. I am probably alone in this but feel better now that it’s off my chest.

Daiso lego project fail. The bits are just too small to hold together a big model.

It's so bad this morning.....doubling up on the Telfast...damn the consequences!!!

can you do that? I thought the dosage was 1 per 24 hours.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can do whatever you want....results may vary though 😁

I am not a doctor, but have been told by GPs and Pharmacists in the past to increase dosages over the recommended on the packet. I'm not a small person, and the doses on packets are very conservative. Not something one should do regularly, but on as needed basis.

^^ this.

The recommend dosages have massive safety tolerances built in, you can eat a whole box of them will just hallucinate with no lasting problems.

The one regular medication to never to do this with though is paracetamol (Panadol / Tylenol). Never take more than 8 a day. Your liver only has enough of a particular enzyme to process that much in 24 hours without causing damage. It's surprising that it's legal to buy tbh, that stuff is dangerous.

Gonna throw down a fair bit of potassium in the g-den today for that flower action. Sorry hay fever people. Perfect time for it.

You're stepping outside in this weather? You're far braver than I!
