Works for me. Generally go for naproxen due to longer half-life, but acetaminophen is much better than nothing. Codeine and hydrocodone don't add anything to it, in my experience. Never had any stronger opioids, so I can't speak to those.
"Aspirin" is a Bayer trademarked name. Legal shenanigans in the US led to Bayer losing the trademark here, but the proper generic name is acetylsalicylic acid - or ASA, for short.
There are numerous other drugs that have slightly different generic names in different parts of the world, but most of them are not OTC and so are invisible to the layman. US succinycholine == UK suxamethonium, for example.
Yeah, if Global Entry really helps. Last time I came back into the States it was through Atlanta, where I discovered that the post-immigration/customs security checkpoint doesn't have a priority line. Immigration was basically instant due to GE (scan passport, stand in front of camera, repeat for wife). Customs was grabbing our bags and tossing them on another belt less than 100 m away, no delay. Re-security with the carryons? By far the longest part of our security experience on the entire trip. I'm glad I'm just some guy who flies for vacations, if I had to do this weekly I'd lose my shit. And especially if I had to do it during peak tourist-travel months, when you have gaggles of high schoolers on school trips who have never done the immigration/customs dance before, and often flown very little or none at all.
It was really annoying, especially if you were on a per-minute-charge cell plan and used the old three-ring call as a calling card so you didn't have to pay for a phone call if they weren't there - it would still be on their caller ID so they would know you had called, just no message. Harder to judge timing.
Depends on your line of business, really. Most of what I do requires fairly immediate response, and a phone call allows a back-and-forth to deal with things quickly. If someone starts a stream of texts with thirty seconds delay between each, the same problem takes a lot longer to solve and generates a lot more interruption.
Lots of variability there. I've had cats that were like dogs - one would hear the garage door open when I came home from work and immediately run over to greet me, stand still for me pick him up, and lounge on my arm as we walked around the yard. Another, though she was always a somewhat-unfriendly stray, was sleeping on the other side of my bed within a week of moving in. Had to put a towel down to keep her from shedding all in the bed. And I had one that was feral to the core and never warmed to anyone. Of the current pair, one is very loving, while the other is much more moody.
I've had dogs that were ferociously smart, and others that were so dumb you wondered how they found the food bowl.
Can you not have it delivered to work? I've done that with anything valuable for years. It comes to the office, a secretary texts me that it has arrived, and I pick it up on the way out the door that evening.
Just ask all the Central Valley farmers who didn't get their water allocation when the reservoirs ran low.
Plants make water cease to exist all the time, when they strip the hydrogens from it to stick on the sugars they're making. Animals do it to make sugars into fats. And when I get fresh fruits shipped from (dry) California to the (wet) eastern US, that water isn't staying in the California ecosystem. That said, it is a little ridiculous when I have to have low-flow showerheads and toilets designed for near-desert climates when my local supply is from abundant surface water.
Huh. I think of Marina City as one of the few buildings in Chicago that I could instantly recognize as being in Chicago. Show someone the Aon Center (used to be Amoco building), and unless they're kind of an architecture buff or a Chicagoan, they'll be unlikely to identify it.
Technically true about La Brea, but the logic is actually more sound than it seems at first glance. The name comes from the old Rancho la Brea, of which they are the actual tar pits, so they're the "Tar Pit Ranch" Tar Pits.
Really clearing? Tillers are pretty good at that once you've cut everything to the ground. Then you can do what AC suggests and tarp it to kill everything.
Really? There's one particular weed that really lays in roots in a small ornamental garden I have on the side of my house, but the other two major species that do it are so shallow-rooted that a four-year-old would have no trouble pulling up a plant that comes to my knees.
Oh horseshit. I'm laid back about things that don't affect me, but like I told her about the Echo - you can buy one, but it won't work for long on my network. It's funny how it's 2017 and we've never been hacked or phished... oh wait, no, it's not, it's because I practice basic network security, starting with "there is nothing on my network that I don't completely control".
Maybe in a textbook, or orally, or transdermally, they have good TI's. In IV push, not so much. My experience, though, not a clinical trial. My nickname for fentanyl is "apnea in a vial".
Now, decriminalizing the drugs may take away much of the lifestyle's appeal, so it's still probably a good idea.
There was the guy - one of the Beats, I think? - who said that being gay was a lot more fun when it was illegal. Same idea: raw hedonism appeals to some people.
In the case of fentanyl analogues, it's not just the illegality or the corresponding imprecision in dose. They're dangerous drugs when used in the hospital. I'm an anesthesiologist, and I barely use the stuff because of this. The line between "effectively treats pain" and "makes them stop breathing" is very, very small. When I give it, I have a breathing tube in place - I don't have to worry if someone stops breathing, because I can do it for them. I still don't often do it.
If we're going to ban any drugs at all, those should be at the top of the list.

Carpooling really only works for school. Everyone is headed to and from the same place at the same time.
Hell, 4DOS was worth it for the colored directory listings and tab completion alone.

That's like saying you've given someone "free reign" - a superficially plausible substitution that is, nonetheless, not the actual phrase.

If you don't mind my asking, where do you live that has Internet but no RFD? Seems incongruous.

Yeah, that works. Or you can just go buy the same display from the business division of the company; they still exist.
