> Which is much harder to dose correctly when the kid spits or drools it out.
Never met a non autistic child who would spit or drool out calpol. I'd take the stuff myself as an adult it tastes brilliant.
> Total culture shock for me, as in Europe the default for children is rectal ingestion (which is probably a culture shock as well for Americans)
Huh are you talking about new born babies or something? I've been to a few different EU countries and you can buy liquid stuff for kids in the chemists. (Spain, france, germany, italy) source me as a child getting the stuff when I was sick abroad and the local doc sold my parents basically some off brand calpol.
Actually nowadays it's less that it's a problem to pop the pills out the booster pack and more that you are limited to the number you can buy.
So if you're going to off yourself you'd have to stock pile or roam around shops picking up.
There is a not insignificant number of suicides where people just say fck it I'll just kill myself but they don't want to go out to any real bother to do it i.e. they don't pre-plan it it's just spur of the moment. A bottle of kill yo self pills is pretty easy. Cupboard, swallow, drink down some water, die. But having to go out and buy a bunch over a few days or like drive around in your car just buying as many as you can. Like you'd have to look it up to check you're going to buy enough.
Back when that law came in when they didn't reduce the total amount you could buy at one time so if you went in and bought like 10 packs at the supermarket then the person at the till would be like ok this person's going to kill themselves so again that would require a bit of balls from the would be kill yo selfer.
I think you can buy a bottle of like 100 x 500mg for like $20 in the USA. That's like over 2 weeks swigging at the max amount. Like you don't need that many, 3-4 days is enough shouldn't be taking that much of the stuff.
Most of these layoffs have been very odd. These are companies making bank and then laying off people left right and center that are key to them making that bank.
Corporate companies are totally baffling Hasbro is no different.
I don't know what the comparable price is given this is priced in dollars and in the US but compared to a gas boiler in the UK (I know this does cooling as well). The price jump is insane £20k installed is about 10 times the price of a gas boiler.
My parents neighbors got a heat pump installed at about that same price so I think it makes sense. Even at 50% the cost of a natural gas boiler it would be at least a decade before it was paid off which I'm not sure how long these things last.
Also for the founder there are a lot of companies in Europe selling this type of thing at a similar price.
What I've seen is slow queries but a bigger problem is actually too many queries. It's easy to do especially when using an ORM.
It mostly happens on change when you want to add something to an existing query the changer just add their new query and slop it into a loop, boom performance is gone.
> Do you require a full-blown argument for every piece of advice or information you ever hear?
There's a lot of misinformation and opinions stated as facts on the internet. So yes for opinions / advice given online I tend to require an explanation. This list has some questionable advice an example:
"Dont purchase extra insurance if you are renting a car with a credit card"
This is false in the UK. Over here that's wrong advice to think you CC provider gives insurance. If that's in the US then it's not always true as well and even then comes with caveat's.
I think in general that's true about almost everything on this list.
Misbehave != tantrum. Normal child misbehave way more than they have tantrums (source: I have 2 children myself and my wife is a trained nursery nurse).
Regardless with a tantrum you wait till they are calm then speak to them and explain to them what's the correct thing to do in that situation.
