Guess it is a time zone thing and you are probably correct. And I get December 11, 2021. Not sure if it is fixed, or simply my browser is more willing to interpret dates (see Excel for extreme cases). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Sirona Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @wumpus and @SunlitZelkova, it being a timezone thing depends on where you live. For reference i live in UTC+2 (Finland, as i am not ashamed to tell) and for me the weird posts show up as 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve9728 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Unlike the tea bags which is £3 you can get fifty bags. Tea leaves can brew more than once. Some expensive varieties can even be drunk whole day long. And in China we don't drink the first brew: it's for washing the leaves. Of course, the thing about mirroring over is "mum, fun fact, tea bags only can brew once..." Edited October 5, 2022 by steve9728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Mine-resistance ambush-protected vehicles are designed with the titular purposes in mind, complete with a V-shaped hull and as much distance between the wheels and the backsides of the passengers as possible. This makes them rather top-heavy and flip-prone. Because of that, they get training wheels. Edited October 6, 2022 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have first hand experience with this. I had warts from some time in elementary school into high school, and then I happened upon a Self Hypnosis book and used it for a lot of stuff including eradicating the warts that have now been gone for ... mumblety-mumble years now. A lot. Also helped me quit smoking, but that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a while (months) with a scalpel, multiple freeze kits (where I ignored the instructions and went for broke) and copious amounts of salycilic acid...but eventually it went away. So praise the power of mind! Edited October 7, 2022 by JoeSchmuckatelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I burned them off with Liquid Nitrogen more than once. I even remember ripping one out by the root by picking at it for days. They always came back, in exactly the same spots, until I convinced my body to rid itself of them. The power of matter over mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by a professional I do in fact mean someone paid (and presumably trained) to administer liquid nitrogen to warts. As I recall it was actually kind of fun. It didn't really hurt because it was a wart and also it was so cold it just froze your nerve endings.

I went the professional route 3 times and it was totally ineffective. 2x with regular doc and 1x with a dermatologist. IMO they don't leave the thing in contact long enough. Getting the OTC kit allows you to make a deep freeze /burn that you can excise and acid to your own level of pain tolerance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 "War starts with a blade, to take away the top layer of skin that has formed over the wart. Then, Radusky sprays it with liquid nitrogen and sends the patient home with a Band-Aid covering the area. Once a blister forms, Radusky’s patients are to soak their foot for 10 minutes in warm water, put salicylic acid on the wart, and bandage it again—not the soft part, but the sticky part, so that in the morning they can rip off as much skin and gunk as possible. Then, in three weeks—after yet more soaking, salicylic acid, and also some pumice-stone scrubbing—the patient comes back for another round of liquid nitrogen. And the process repeats" https://slate.com/technology/2022/10/plantar-wart-removal-treatment-research-patch.html (ugh... Forum doesn't like mobile!) Also - duct tape! Duct tape occlusion therapy was significantly more effective than cryotherapy for treatment of the common wart https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/203979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
