Hold my hypotenuse, I'm going in!

I learnt that the hard way, happy to share a tiny trick :)

If you haven't considered it already, you can just cut the 14mg patches in half to make ~7mg.

If the cost of the patches near you is anything like they are near me, the cost of 7mg is not half the cost of the 14mg ones. So cutting them in half worked out more cost effective.

Also, if going to 7mg is too much of a change initially, you can just trim a bit off the 14mg patches every couple of days until you get comfortable.

Good luck!

Uranus?

You, me and every western philosopher for the last few hundred years all want an answer to this but as far as I know, the short answer is no - you can't empirically prove anything exists outside of your own thoughts.

However, unless you particularly enjoy trying to answer that question, it's simply more practical to accept as a fact, that your senses are telling the truth when they tell you something is real.

It's an axiom, but axioms are helpful for allowing us to get on with living when we would otherwise just get stuck in a pointless loop of asking unanswerable questions.

That said, if you do enjoy the challenge of trying to answer these sorts of questions, you could probably start with Rene Descartes' - Discourse on the Method. In that, Descartes kicks this whole topic off by asking "what happens if I systematically deconstruct everything I know to be real?" and eventually comes to the conclusion that yes, everything outside of our minds can be doubted but the one, irrefutable fact that holds up under any amount of scepticism, is that "if I can think, I exist".

This is a pretty digestible article about the importance of the discovery of "cogito, ergo sum"/"I think, therefore I am".

Hahaha, it's working that well is it?

I just stick with the same word every time, no idea how to work out whether that's a good thing or not, but I can say I mainly solve it in 4.

Lunch was yesterday's word wasn't it? Is your tactic to use each winning word as your next starter?

If you just want to make one, milder curry you could do a sambal on the side. It's not Thai but it's big in nearby countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore etc.

It's a bit like a much hotter siracha but there are loads of varieties, some have shaved coconut for a bit of texture and sweetness etc.

Here's a basic one https://www.elmundoeats.com/en/how-to-make-malaysian-chili-paste-sambal/

Edit: forgot to say, sambals have similar flavours to Thai stuff, so lemongrass, chilli, coconut etc. Thought it would compliment nicely even if not strictly traditional.

Can't go full invisible, but can grab a double handful of floral grave decorations and hold them in front of its maw (teddy bear first).

I may have dreamt this, but I'm pretty sure that Morn is a direct reference to Norm in Cheers. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

The amiable barfly that's been propping up the same end of the bar since it was new, kind of thing.

Exactly! I mean, some people (looking at you downvoters) learnt that during their education. But I (we?) didn't, and this has been a really interesting find for me.

I genuinely love learning about linguistic weirdness, I just don't know a lot about it. Or have many occasions to learn.
