Have you had tried hydrocortisone that's much more commonly prescribed for eczema. Vaseline isn't medical, it's just lubricant

When I was at university I was pretty belligerent and if a professor tried that on me I'd have reported them for academic misconduct. They should be grading in the damn papers themselves, if they're not going to do that then what is the point in them?

I had to write a short story for English literature class in 2006 and I still have the file. Apparently over half of that is AI generated, which is pretty impressive on my part I must say.

Well the local pigeons are definitely not getting any more intelligent I'll tell you that.

That's why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a sunny day. Don it near a school or local park. You'll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.

Well it's only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?

It's found in plants and bacteria so it's not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you're not allowed to use it as a weed killer.

So does it go after organic tissue or not, because last time I checked I'm pretty certain that plants are organic. No one has plants in their stomach either. What a prat.

It is truly a dumb decision because it's got absolutely nothing to do with the film. It's just lazy justification for being there, they could have chosen anything.

I think it's a room temperature superconductor which, ok I can see why that's useful, but if you're in a future where you have interstellar starships flying on a semi regular basis to another star system I think you've probably already invented room temperature superconductors. In fact they must have room temperature superconductors because their starships are powered by fusion drive which needs electromagnetic confinement in order to work. So at least the first ship would have to already have that tech just to get out there in the first place.

If they have any imagination at all they should call it Wompom, because it's so useful you can do whatever you like with it.

It's a bit different though isn't it. Missouri is a state, an internal administrative district inside a country. I feel like it's a bit different than not knowing where a country is.

I suspect that most Americans don't know where Europe is, what countries make it up, and couldn't point to Ukraine on a map.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
