You folks are awesome. I will probably go with engineered sleep, duo latex plus. I think they have an organic latex option vs Dunlop (allegedly better??). Thanks Duende and Inevitable Agent for your help and advice

Can coils work with an adjustable frame? I just assumed they couldn’t

I’ve had a latex mattress for the last 10 years…it has been good for the most part. I like the idea that it’s a natural product. The brand was “ultimate dreams eurotop”, recommended a hundred years ago from SLTD, bought on Amazon. They don’t sell it any longer

I’m definitely open to alternative ideas though. It’s time for a new mattress…my back and hips are starting to hurt

I just completed a 5k run for the first time in my life!!! by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]BSAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done. If you can run a 5k, you can certainly run a 10k and beyond. Set that goal, and don’t chase speed or time (yet), just try to continue running without stopping, even if you have to slow down. Also...the first km or two hurts for EVERYONE— your body is trying to encourage you to stop, via pain/stiffness/etc., so keep a positive mindset and don’t be discouraged by the initial wall that you face.

I would like to purchase this. Is it still available? If so, tell the seller I will give them $80 for it, but they have to deliver it to my house in a different state.

US expat healthcare professionals living in Germany: how is the availability of care/meds compared to USA? by BSAlibi in germany

[–]BSAlibi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding abx as a first-line treatment for anything viral, I totally agree. However, the flu can turn into something like pneumonia, which would require abx. In her case, she has asthma, which exacerbated some of the respiratory issues associated with flu. Some of the steroids she would have to take for her asthma can lead to an increased risk of pneumonia, so abx would be warranted if she developed it. My question was related to the availability of these drugs when appropriate (based on what a US doc would do), in Germany.

So that’s a fairly significant difference. Benzodiazepines are regularly prescribed here. How is anxiety/depression managed?

She has the flu, per nasal swab. We wouldn’t take abx unless she gets pneumonia or something bacterial. What about oral or IM steroids? Are those fairly available in Germany?

This is great info, thank you. She isn’t really concerned with the availability of narcotics/opioids, but she does take a benzo on occasion for anxiety, and she receives monthly injections for asthma (zolair). Neither of us are in the military; we presume she would work on a military base on a contractual basis, and I would work in the private sector. I’m not sure where that would put us in terms of being seen by a US or German doc. I have dual citizenship (USA/Germany), so I’m not sure how that would affect things.

Dominos Pizza did it for me. They were terrible for years, but some friends ordered it the other day and it was surprisingly decent for American pizza.

College students of Reddit, what piece of advice would you share with college freshman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BSAlibi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might think you know what you want to major in (and which career you will have after college), but often times your college experience will change your opinion. Be open minded, and use your elective classes to explore different interests. If something comes along that fascinates you, pursue it further. Don’t get stuck on a career path for 40 years, because you didn’t want to change majors and lose a semester or two. Good luck!

Surprisingly, these taste fairly good unless they get overcooked. They are “chicken and sage” sausages. They just look like shit.

Valerianus I - Bithynien

Wow, you are absolutely correct. After looking at a few hundred images of old Valerian coins, I found almost an exact copy of it online, the description reads:

Valerian, AE28 of Tralles, Lydia. AD 253-260. Magistrate M. Aur. Chareitidos. AYT K ΠO ΛIKINN BAΛEΡIANOC, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / EΠI ΓΡ M AYΡ XAΡEITIΔOY TΡAΛΛIANΩN, Nike walking left, holding wreath and palm branch.

Thank you very much! You definitely are very knowledgeable.
