It’s all about tense (past, present, future) and the idioms which leave out those implied verbs that indicate tense. You can still wish someone a good night as a form of greeting, but you’ll need to use those “extra” words to avoid the idiomatic expression. Saying good evening is just the common shortened idiomatic form.
I’ve had a tooth extraction or two before. The following advice is based on my memory and experience with that kind of surgery and being poor. I’m not a doctor. It’s highly negligent for the surgeon to abandon you over the weekend after a surgery.
You may not need pain meds beyond ibuprofen (you can take more than the recommended dose on the bottle for a short time). Acetaminophen is useless for treating the swelling and dental pain in my experience. Continue your other after care while you figure this out: rinse with warm salt water regularly, avoid foods with seeds, no drinking through a straw, apply ice packs regularly at intervals to keep the swelling down (ibuprofen will help with this also), whatever else they advised. Keeping the swelling down with ice packs, ibuprofen, and drinking cold water will do way more for your pain than whatever pain meds they prescribed. Sometimes I’d just keep a big glass of ice water nearby and hold the ice cold water in my mouth.
You will absolutely need the antibiotics ASAP though! Call a doctor, any doctor, urgent care, ER, whatever you have to do to get the antibiotics. I wouldn’t even mention the pain meds. When I’ve taken those pain meds, they did nothing for the pain in my mouth, but they did mean I didn’t notice bumping into a table and cutting my leg badly. And there is the non-zero chance that as soon as you mention painkillers, you’ll be labeled as drug seeking. Stay focused on the antibiotics, that’s the important med. Oral infections can go from “Do I have an infection?” to life threatening emergency in a surprisingly short time.
Fun fact, North Dakota (home of the idiot cop and criminally evil prosecutor) has a fewer people than the city of San Francisco in about 150,000 times the acreage. Put another way, there are about 268,000 people per electoral vote in North Dakota compared with about 728,000 people per electoral vote in California and about 670,000 people per electoral vote in Tennessee (home of the grandmother).
Hey now. Hillbillies are a proud Appalachian cultural tradition. The grandmother, being from Tennessee, might have been a hillbilly. And it might not have been an insult for her to self apply that label. The idiot cop and asshole prosecutor were in North Dakota.
Stating directly and unambiguously what you want while asking for consent at the same time is SO FUCKING HOT!
Frankly, even if I wasn’t into someone, they have my respect when they do this.
Wouldn’t be very good at reading if stupid typos and blinders blunders like this tickled my consciousness. Not every language even cares what order you line those words up too much, go ahead and put the important words at the beginning (or the end if you’re an asshole), conjugations will sort it out.
Edit: Fucking autocorrect almost got be again when I tried to fix the typo. I fucking typed blunders both times, a real word that exists and makes sense in context, unlike fucking blinders! Dumbass “AI” autocorrect!
It was a song about thrifting. A song against fast fashion, consumerism, and satirizing displays of wealth. That’s what it was popularizing. It was a line about making the most out of the lot we’re given. It was not a song glorifying the wearing of fur. Fur is poetic shorthand for wealth. You can’t excise a single word or line from a song or poem from it’s context. And if you’d actually listened to the song or watched the video, it’d have been pretty clear that no one wearing gator boots or or mink was cool. It was satire. The line about mink even says that it smells like piss.
That was notably a line about wearing used fur, not sourcing new fur for new clothes. I think that is an important distinction when evaluating the moral arguments against wearing fur. Still totally valid to be against any fur clothing, but that line feels a lot less immoral to me in context.
Not much of a PC gamer, but I have had a need to use a mouse without a desk. I swear by trackball mice. Personally I’ve been happy with the wireless Logitech trackball offerings, particularly the one with Bluetooth and a dongle you can tuck away into the mouse. Even at a regular desk, doing CAD work all day, it has saved my shoulder and wrist from stress and pain. I can basically sit in a relaxed neutral position and use my mouse wherever my hand falls, like on an arm rest. It may take some adjustment learning to use your thumb to navigate around, but for me it has been worth it.
The twist better be something better than “She/He’s been dead the whole time.”
It keeps on autocorrecting words to some totally irrelevant wrong word, much more often than it used to. Previously it would just fix the occasional spelling mistake and ignore most capitalized words. Now it regularly changes proper names to other random words, replaces it’s with its or your for you’re (or the other way round) but it’s almost always wrong even though I typed it correctly. I’ll go back and try to fix it, only to find it’s chosen some other random words to use instead of what I actually typed. It replaces correct words with incorrect words now way more often than it actually helps my spelling.
Fascism is seductive, that’s the biggest problem.

I’m not the person you asked, but I do have answers.
I have a French press, so I often use that. The preparation is exactly the same as a hot press except for the time and temperature; same grind, same proportions of water to coffee. Just mix the coffee and cool water and wait to plunge for several hours. It would usually be something I’d prepare the night before, leave on the counter, then plunge and pour in the morning.
You can do the same thing with larger volumes/masses of coffee and water using a mesh bag and a pitcher. Same process just more. Also avoid squeezing the bag too much, but do let the coffee run out as you remove the bag containing the coffee from the pitcher.
I know I’ve seen this before. This appears to be an AI generated version of a very similar image posted in January of 2023 on Reddit, Facebook, and probably others. I used a combination of Google image search and tineye.com to figure this out. This apparently AI version makes the woman skinnier, removes her sleeves, declutters the background, and adds a black clutch. The history of this meme was tricky to search for because it has blown up in popularity recently (on Instagram, Xitter, Reddit, even YouTube) and Reddit’s history is full of deleted posts.

Any sort of digital release? How exactly does one play a computer game that has not had any sort of digital release? Are you expecting to scan your game’s binary files and assets from microfilm? Maybe your actually just looking for some TTRPG? There were some VHS games once upon a time, maybe that’s what you’re after?
That’s a great word!
This should be obvious. It’s the reasons for the renaming, not the renaming itself.
