I was almost in a car crash once because I clipped a puddle and almost spun through a wall. No it was not a calm experience.

Unless US bacon is just reconstituted corn syrup like most of their stuff seems to be.

If it’s a physical injury that’s bearable but not going away I can get an opinion from a pharmacist first then go to a Dr if they recommend, if it’s something like a chest infection or other illness I can call a non emergencies line to get a Dr’s opinion and they might ask me to come in for a physical checkup. If it’s something more urgent than that then I guess just turn up at A&E and probably spend a few hours waiting in triage till there’s a Dr who can see me.
The NHS is really struggling so I try to avoid going to the Dr for minor stuff but most of the time when I’ve deemed it big enough to need to see a Dr it’s been pretty smooth for me. Only time I’ve had problems was when I injured my knee and couldn’t walk properly then got bounced around for months after my x-ray showed that I hadn’t fractured it, I was supposed to get a scan to check if it was muscle damage and when I turned up for said scan they just had a physio therapist tell me I need to walk on it more to exercise the muscles in my kneecap after the swelling from the initial damage weakened them.

Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn’t escape it
Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn’t my go to station in that game.

TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The problem with adding forgery prevention features to paper money is that people could just forge the old version of the bill.4·14 days agoYeah in the UK old currency is fazed out in less than a year. £1 coins changed in 2016 and it only took a few months till the old design was invalid
TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The problem with adding forgery prevention features to paper money is that people could just forge the old version of the bill.11·14 days agoThat’s why old currency isn’t valid after it’s been changed though? That’s why most countries have swapped to plastic notes at the same time as adding anti forgery things.

TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What grocery items are always worth the extra $1-$5?28·22 days agoI’ve seen a few people saying that it’s cheaper to buy stuff that’s in season over the years but I’ve never seen prices drop on in season stuff before. Idk if it’s just a thing where I am but the supermarkets seem to just pocket the difference and leave the prices the same year round.

In Europe fluid restrictions have been lifted afaik. There’s new scanners where liquids don’t have to separated and you don’t need to take electronics out of your suitcase. I haven’t been on a plane since they came in but my girlfriend said that the time to get through security dropped from a couple hours to about half an hour last time she flew.
