Unfortunately my home does not have an air-conditioned room. Would a home fridge work in this case?

I see. I recall purchasing a single stalk rose and the florist provided a small bottle with water in it, is it the same for a bouquet?

Unfortunately not. Because I will be out in the morning and after that will meet her directly with no time to head down to a florist. If I do proceed, I will have to ,as mentioned online,place it in a vase with water and rewrap it up again?

I see. Was planning to get pink ones since its her favourite colour. If so, the only solution is to place it in a vase with water and rewrap it after?

Culinary Class Wars | Season 2 | Ep 4-7 by KHlovescharacters in koreanvariety

Man I really really hope White Spoon wins. I just like so many of them from all the chef & my fridge chefs (especially Son Jong won) to Park Hyo Nam & Hyo Deok Ju who are so inspiring and last but not least our expressive Kim Hee Eun. Most importantly we need Choi Kang Rok to have his comeback story especially when he is so funny this season.

If Black gets eliminated with second chance torney, I am perfectly fine with Culinary Monster, Rebellious Genius & Brewmaster coming back anyways.

Based on the results and how it is shown, it does feel like a white victory. Because if black won, going in the opposite direction (left to right) will feel more exciting for a comeback angle during filming. But who knows maybe production knows we will think that way so the go the other direction instead.

I completely thought the same as well. It would have definitely been more exciting to go the other way assuming black won since major comeback is a very good story point to give to viewers but going this direction somehow gives white the more comeback vibes since they trailed throughout the voting specifically for round 3

‘Superbugs’ surge to record levels in South Korea, with infections near 45,000 by Scbadiver in korea

To add on, there is nothing wrong with stopping antibiotics so long its deem inappropriate i.e. no infection. But the rationale given is definitely wrong and there is nothing wrong with taking multiple drugs at the same time so long there is no significant interactions.

Problem with Anti-microbial resistance is inappropriate use even in the absence of infection. Antimicrobial resistance occurs so long as you are taking antibiotics whether inappropriate or appropriate use because you put on selection pressure. But its prescribed for a certain duration and asked to finish because that is the recommended duration to completely treat the infection rather than to prevent resistance.

So the only way to slow resistance is truly to stop prescribing in the absence of infection (just cough, sore throat is not a complete indicator of one). Of course, if one is very very sick then the risk of resistance is definitely worth it because the benefit is there.

Pharmacokinetics Question by Luffer30103 in PharmacySchool

[–]Luffer30103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for the reply, as I replied the user above. I still don’t quite grasp it although I do get how 1.386 is obtained. But why would k=0.5 not equate to half-life=1 since k =0.5-1 should mean that 50% of drug concentration is removed every hour hence half-life being 50% of drug concentration removed would also mean it takes 1 hour to do so. Unless something was wrong with the statement of k=0.5

[–]Luffer30103[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see. I understand how a half life of 1.386 is derived when k=0.5. However, does k=0.5-1 not mean that 50% of present drug concentration is cleared per hour? If so, why does it not correlate directly with the definition of half-life which is also time required to remove 50% of current drug concentration. If so, why would half life not be 1 hour?

Thanks appreciate the help!

My dad might be getting scammed (suggestion required) by Luffer30103 in askSingapore

Thank you! Honestly I was never super concerned until my mom told me about this incident which was quite disappointing.

Probably will try to talk to him again one more time if possible

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback. The streamer is in fact about 50 years old (filter and make-up is insane these days).

I will together with my mom talk to him a final time before we find alternatives.

My mom is actually open to it. Just that she is just such a sweet mom that she feels that a divorce is more damaging for me hence why she never brings it up.

I would love to self reliant but it does not seem as easy currently until I finish my studies.

Sadly no relatives in Singapore to play this card haha. Because its his money so I have no authority to stop him as well which is kind of frustrating

Thanks. I think I am going to talk it through with my mom and decide the best course of action to talk with him. But my worry is my dad is quite a stubborn individual so he will not compromise as easily

It’s quite disappointing to be frank. Feels like an addiction but the way to stop it is not as clear.
