Sonic Cannon 02/20/18 3:36:43 AM #14 | MabusIncarnate posted... Yeah, usually to chase my tequila with if i'm out of beer. I can't drink just wine, or it would take me like 5 bottles to get the job done. 5 bottles? Jesus christ. What the hell have you been doing to your liver? --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 02/19/18 3:30:32 AM #28 | Sephiroth1288 posted... Seriously though, if Oprah runs for president she's gonna get reamed. All her dirty laundry will be brought out. Trump has basically proven that dirty laundry won't stop you winning the presidential election, so I don't think this would be what makes her lose. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | How does CE feel about Altered Carbon? |
Sonic Cannon 02/17/18 7:53:17 PM #9 | I only saw the first episode. I REALLY like the visual style, and the set-up is decent. I don't expect it to be on the level of Blade Runner or GoT though. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | Would the USA be better off if the second amendment didn't exist? |
Sonic Cannon 02/17/18 7:51:39 PM #18 | FrenchCrunch posted... i think so yes The "shall not be infringed" is more where the second amendment is relevant. UK common law includes the right to bear arms, but the US constitution essentially says "You're not allowed to restrict people from owning weapons" --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 02/17/18 4:15:51 PM #24 | Very few new users on the site in general. Popular game boards do still get quite a few new people, and sometimes people even read and write faqs. Although Wikis are a more popular format for text guides for most games now. --- Keep it green. |

It's one country, but there's more than an anecdote. It's not on our list of community subsidised medications: http://nzf.org.nz/nzf_3472 (Look down the bottom) A prescription for it in NZ would come with a hospital referral. --- Keep it green. |

It has demonstrated a modest reduction in severity and duration of symptoms, but there is no demonstrable reduction in deaths. So much misinformation in this topic I know that it works on a biochemical level, but it's not really worth anything without clinical relevance. It only gets used in high-risk scenarios here, like if somebody is on the level of needing respiratory support/ICU admission. It's available anywhere in the hospital but on general medicine I almost never saw it used last winter. Flu vaccines are a better option for sure, though. In those who are higher risk (Over 65, respiratory or renal disease, immune suppression, etc.) LightHawKnight posted... Man, I got asthma, a shitty ass immune system and somehow always survived my flus with just nyquil, plenty of water, and rest. I hope I just didn't jynx myself...

Topic | Getting into Monster Hunter World is really difficult |
Sonic Cannon 02/10/18 12:24:24 AM #21 | southcoast09 posted... I played Freedom Unite in psp and it really wasnt for me. The combat was awkward and I just felt like it was too sluggish. Very repetitive. I bounced off MHFU hard as well, back in the day. I only tolerated like 2 hours of playing it. MHW so far is much better. The beta was a nice way to get introduced to the hunting without having to deal with all the extra BS. The main game takes things a bit slower unfortunately, and I think that's to its disadvantage. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | I don't know if I like Monster Hunter World |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 9:15:39 PM #7 | If slow attacks are a problem (e.g. hammer, GS, hunting horn) you should probably try something faster like dual blades or insect glaive and see if it helps. Or maybe even a ranged weapon. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Getting into Monster Hunter World is really difficult |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 9:11:40 PM #3 | The start is slow and dealing with the various non-combat systems in town is a headache if you're new. I would recommend sticking purely to the main story missions until you aren't able to progress further, and then start looking into what else is available. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:59:18 PM #46 | A lot of the grunt work TC is thinking of (counting stuff, packaging it) is traditionally done by pharmacy technicians, not pharmacists. Also, robots are already replacing pharmacy technicians in busy pharmacies. Pharmacists are harder to replace because they have a clinical role beyond just spitting out whatever the doctor wrote. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | My Breast Reduction - 1 Year Post-Op |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:55:18 PM #31 | Good use of breast reduction, imo. Physical symptoms are the point where it becomes reasonable to consider surgery. Good to hear you're having a good outcome from it. Sometimes people who have a reduction don't get the improvement in pain they were hoping for. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | Childhood vaccinations should be mandatory |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:52:28 PM #109 | Knowledge_King posted... Isn't that essentially injecting a small amount of the disease/poison into your body so that it develops antibodies to fight said disease/poison? That sounds dumb to me if so. This is not how a lot of vaccines work these days. You're describing a "live attenuated" vaccine, where a pathogen is modified into a form that is non-virulent in humans. (e.g. selected using viral culture, gene defects that render a virus unable to enter human cells, etc.). It's not the same as just giving a "small amount of the disease." Examples include MMR and varicella vaccines. Many vaccines nowadays are inactivated or subunit vaccines. It's like injecting a non-functional part of the organism so that your body can recognise it, but it's not actually an organism capable of reproducing. It's like if I put you in a room full of tiger skins. You would learn to recognise a tiger's appearance, but you would not be inany danger of being attacked by a tiger. This is how influenza, pneumococcal, pertussis vaccines work. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | What time signature is this? [Music] |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:40:48 PM #16 | Edited clip above to include another alternative. Time signatures don't actually change anything about the music. It mostly comes down to how readable you want it to be and how much space you want it to take on a page. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | What time signature is this? [Music] |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:33:43 PM #13 | It's all just up to how the composer wants it to be read. What tempo etc. It's possible to write it just in 4/4, but it would probably make more sense to the player in compound time since the accented notes are every 3. Or you could do it like @Anteaterking says. See example for all 3 one after the other: https://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/c7a2806c83e98d8857cef009d2e6e6ed021112e8 --- Keep it green. |
Topic | What time signature is this? [Music] |
Sonic Cannon 02/09/18 8:09:53 PM #8 | 123 123 123 123 12 12 (repeating) There are a few different ways you could time signature this. If you had it at a fast tempo, it could be 4 bars of 3/4 followed by 1 bar of 4/4 and then repeating. This would have that string rhythm playing triplets the whole time Alternatively, it's possible to write it in compound time. So that would be either: 1 bar of 12/8 followed by 1 bar of 4/8 OR 2 bars of 6/8 followed by 1 bar of 4/8. I think it's more likely just 3/4 and 4/4 though. Only some of the instruments are playing triplets. --- Keep it green. |
