Fevers are your body fighting the infection so unless it gets too high you should just let it do it's thing. Keeping the fever will shorten the duration of a mild or moderate illness. If your fever gets up to 102-103f or 39c take medicine to reduce it, if it hits 105f or 40c then you are in danger of cooking you brain and should go to the ER. Stay well hydrated, getting some electrolytes is a good idea if you are sweating more than usual or vomiting. Eat regularly, your body is using extra calories to fight the infection so even if you activity level is lower you need the same or a little more calories than normal. The more balanced your diet the better. Have something to do. Don't just focus on the illness and lay around getting bored, do some light housework, engage is a light hobby, catch up on some TV or movies, replay an old favorite video game. Anything to keep your mind engaged and to make the time pass faster.

comment being spread across the crossposts instead of having all of the discussion and reactions happening in the same place.

I find this to be more positive than negative. The tone of the entire comment section tends to be set by the first few comments meaning every post has a high risk of becoming it's own tiny echo chamber. Spreading comments across multiple communities makes it more likely that the discussion will explore different aspects of the topic and that different opinions on the topic will be explored.

How many os for the lemmy version of woooosh?

Sometimes you're doing something like using your exercise bike, cooking, or doing housework and want something on just for the noise but don't want to put any real effort into finding something since you aren't paying much attention to it. Turning on a channel that does old shows or documentaries or whatever is perfect for that. I use Roku so I don't pay for a subscription.

Adding to this, there is no requirement that hospitals ensure that you are safe when they release you from their care so sometimes people who can't pay for care and have dementia, uncontrolled or poorly controlled mental health issues, or are otherwise vulnerable get left at the nearest bus stop. It even makes the news sometimes because someone got dropped off only wearing a hospital gown at night in winter.

Edit to add link to an example: https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/health/baltimore-hospital-patient-video-bus-stop-trnd/index.html

Dentists have a few alternatives to Novocaine that they can use, I know lidocaine is safe for dental applications and lasts a little longer than Novocaine for most people. If she's resistant to Novocaine but not other pain blockers she's used it's probably worth asking about trying something else.

Is that a Snickers bar?

I'm thinking he could replace Robert Downey Jr for Tropic Thunder 2.

Films can be resubmitted, the South Park movie was submitted 6 times before the rating was dropped from NC-17 to R.

Vita Malt or Malta Goya might be worth a try. They are malted soft drinks flavored with barley and hops. A South American or African grocery should have them or similar brands if you can't find them at your regular grocery. They will probably be in the international section.

No they can't. They are state and local officials and, despite what some governments in red states are saying, foreign relations and immigration are domains exclusive to the federal government.

I've never seen a tornado throw a cow through a house. I have seen the aftermath of a tornado trying to climb a mountain and digging a trench down to the base rock. If a tornado can dig out a couple hundred ton of shale and sandstone in a few minutes I don't imagine it'd have too much trouble with a cow.

I generally agree with you but cats probably aren't the best example to use here. They evolved as desert animals with very limited access to water. Because of that their bodies are extremely efficient at using water, which is why their pee is so concentrated and smelly, and they have a very low thirst drive. Cats do regularly drink without being thirsty.

I'd go with something safe for the gift like a non food gift or, because nearly all religious food restrictions are related to animal products, a vegan safe gift. Then I would ask them to a dinner/game night. When you invite them you can say that you were a little nervous about asking because you don't know much about halal and set up a day where you can cook together. Gives you a chance to learn a little more about them and build the friendship.

I haven't really gotten into Impossible or Beyond. I've tried them both but they just don't seem worth the cost or calories. Boca on the other hand make a hell of a plant based burger.

You are correct. Namor was one of the original 3 main title Marvel Superheroes along with Captain America and the android Human Torch (different from the Fantastic 4 Human Torch) and first appeared in 1939. After X-Men became popular he was retconed into being a mutant and has sometimes been called the first mutant because he was created first despite the in universe timeline having him be younger than Xavier and Magneto. When Apocalypse was created as a functionally immortal mutant from Ancient Egypt he took on the in universe title of the world's first mutant but the Submariner still occasionally gets the title out of universe.

He get replaced with a moderate republican. Kentucky has a democratic governor and a law that requires congressional appointments to be of the same party as the last person elected to hold that office.

Charles Booker 2026!

From the hood to the holler.

TNG's "The Battle" is an outlier in that it's one of the franchise's best episodes in spit of being a TNG Ferengi episode. Otherwise TNG Ferengi episodes are not good but even if they were it would be unfair to make them try to stand up to Quark centered episodes. Quark's is the Star Trek sitcom spinoff we deserved but never got.
