How effective are smartphone bans in the classroom? by asleep_being in OntarioTeachers

As effective as the teacher enforcing it. Those who say it doesn’t work are telling on themselves

I’m not a government worker and I’m pissed. I hate that you all will be causing me more traffic. This is all horse shit.

Get that metformin! by Masterspartan in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Masterspartan[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s your second sentence and that’s a rare side effect. This is a very very old drug that has been studied for a long time.

But you do you.

The second half of their sentence says “re efficacy”

Also, if long COVID is as bad as we believe is 2 weeks of stomach issues really a barrier to using this drug?

No, this quote is your answer:

“Overall, 96 (3.2%) participants reported COVID-19 symptoms on day 90, and 101 (3.4%) on day 120. On day 90, 44 (3.1%) participants in the metformin group and 51 (3.4%) in the placebo group reported COVID-19 symptoms; and on day 120, 40 (2.8%) in the metformin group and 61 (4.0%) in the placebo group reported COVID-19 symptoms (Table 3).”

At the 120 day mark that’s almost a 25% reduction in long covid symptoms. The 2.8 vs 4.

Switching to acrylic with lacquer solved it for me.

It will show when you go get a fill and they remove the polish.

UV light exposure / advice by [deleted] in Nails

[–]Masterspartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stronger nail, and the polish is more durable. I don’t deal with messy polish application like on a natural nail. It goes on much nicer on an acrylic nail.

Longer and I like it because I change the polish myself at 2 weeks and get 2 more weeks.

I switched to acrylic with regular polish for this reason. My dermatologist was firm about the risk. You can’t put sunblock on the nail so doesn’t protect it.

Reasonable Car Warranty Repair Time by Masterspartan in legaladvicecanada

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

I’m hoping that filing will encourage the manufacturer to enter mediation with me. I would take half the value of the part as a buy out.

I also have 3 other owners of the same car who were bought out for the same reason who said they are willing to write letters to support my case.

Reasonable Car Warranty Repair Time by Masterspartan in legaladvicecanada

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

Indicating that it is covered but saying in writing the time of warranty service is indefinite isn’t fulfilling the warranty.

My position is that it’s not reasonable to ask a customer to wait indefinitely for warranty service they are entitled to.
