A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren't in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect... maybe

For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.

Can be installed standalone but it's typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it's better to include the entire kitchen.

When cocaine usage first exploded, it was almost entirely in "laborers, youths, black people, and the urban underworld". Most of the early history of its usage is associated with non-whites and lower class peoples. Making it illegal worked for a long time until the cocaine boom happened and then it became popular with disco and rock, but again, still mostly used by non-whites. It wasn't until crack became a thing that the racial divide became more clear - rich whites got the clean cocaine, everyone else got addicted to crack.

The switch to being heavily used by the rich white class is a "relatively" recent development.

Signal does not. https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/

Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

Back when there were numerous loopholes, deductions, and methods of evasion and nearly none paid that rate? And when they later lowered effective rates, closed loopholes, and ended up collecting more?

Yeah, let's do that. Let's incentive finding ways to avoid paying taxes.

This is exactly how you give incentives to higher CEO pay. Record profits? Give all of it to the CEO and you'll pay none of it to the government. You didn't mention a higher personal tax rate, so end of the day the CEO wins.

Own an S-Corp? Pass through all profits to yourself and pay 0%.

It has to do with the fact that testosterone is a performance enhancement drug and men are categorically stronger than females, and a man punching a female is strictly unsafe.

Lifetime chronically poor sleeper here - Look at Andrew Huberman for advice.

Natural supplements: magnesium threonate, glycine, l-theanine, apigenin. No melatonin.

Prescription: 50mg Trazadone when things are really bad. Dogs can easily get this drug prescribed :)

Hygiene: regular sleep time. No phones in bed. Cold room. Improved bedding. If you can't sleep or wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and do -something- that isn't on a screen for a few minutes. No water near bedtime. No caffeine after noon. Try a white noise machine and a high quality eye mask such Manta.

10 minutes of sunlight immediately after waking. View the sky before the sun sets. Enable blue light filters using something like Twilight, specially for evening hours. Avoid overhead lights at night and, if possible, at night switch to lights that are lower than your head.

Regular meditation and breathing exercises. No alcohol within 4 hours of sleep. Don't eat any food near bed time.

Get a sleep tracker such as Oura to provide metrics and data on the efficacy of these various methods and to see how your body reacts to timing of stuff like meals, alcohol, supplements, etc.

...? Did you even look at the picture? That's 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.
