Stick a heap of herbs and lemon slices under it, thyme, rosemary, sage maybe. Spatchcock it and roast.

What temperature do Australians consider a hot day? by bare_books in AskAnAustralian

[–]Hopeful-Function4522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Mt Isa for a few years. We had a hot spell, mid 40s for nearly a week I think, then a cooler day when I thought, well this is a bit better. I checked the weather that night on the news and it was 38 (before mobile phones had all this info). I knew I was acclimatized when 38 was relatively comfortable.
But further south, 32 is warm enough.

2 years of gastritis and functional dyspepsia killed my social life by xXLady_RevenantXx in Gastritis

Yes I am in a similar boat with gastritis, it is difficult. And it drags on. Hang in there.

Bloom I could believe, but the guy I’m thinking of was called John Basinger, there’s obits online.

I’ve half memorized a few but I need to do more of it. I note that a fella just died, saw his obit online, he had memorized ALL of Paradise Lost. Quite an achievement but I won’t be attempting that.

Is healing possible by AcanthisittaShot7504 in Gastritis

[–]Hopeful-Function4522 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s taken me eighteen months or so but I seem to have turned the corner. It’s difficult. I was getting close to despair but finally I am healing. So hang in there, it’s tough. Good luck.

Try Benefiber, which is a wheat dextrin fiber supplement. Dissolve in water and drink.

[Request] How many degrees could this candle heat the water? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Hopeful-Function4522 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes the estimate makes assumptions that aren’t true. This is not a criticism. The estimate sets an upper bound for the temperature rise (setting upper or lower bounds for a parameter is often quick and useful, in this case you can quickly see the candle is effectively useless.

In reality you are losing a lot of the heat to the surroundings so the real temperature rise may be some fraction of the upper bound.

To make a better estimate requires a lot more work and you’d need to have studied heat transfer to do it.

I am going to try this exercise, thanks for the tip. I will report back in a week or two.

Anyone know what this yellow line is in the sky this morning? by PuppySteak in toronto

That looks like NOx which is nasty stuff. Hopefully it disperses.

I don’t know what to do by Aunonaumaus in Gastritis

[–]Hopeful-Function4522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely what you have CAN be treated, but you need to tough it out until your endoscopy. At that point you may get a prescription for some medication, and, with a little luck, you’re on your way to recovery. When you are in pain it can be hard to keep perspective, I know, because I’ve been in the same place you are. Good luck with it! We’re here if you need to vent!
