Time?

The way to fight inflammation is generally to leave a thing alone and stop irritating it. If some of the irritation is from harsh soaps or decreasers stripping your skin's lipid barrier, a moisturizer may help. It might even actually help loosen some of the gunk if it is something oil soluable like grease.

Hydrogen peroxide will probably produce more irritation. It's often not even recommended for disinfection these days because it causes damage to a wound along with disinfecting it.

The old, human internet did not work by passively getting interesting content shoveled at you. It worked by active discovery. You followed links from human content that interested you to other content you thought might also be interesting. If you had a feed, it had content you had subscribed to. You did a web search on something that interested you and the results were not all garbage (I would argue most of what a web search produces these data is essentially spam).

Your notion to accept spam is because the enshittified internet has perverted your expectations to expect to find interesting things by passively having them shoveled at you, whether by social media feed or email.

This will sound facetious, but I recommend getting her a cake she likes.

I don't know if is too late to ask questions or do sleuthing, but if there was some kind of cake from her past she really liked that she hasn't had in a long time that might be ideal. Like for my wife that was ice cream cake which isn't as much a thing anymore as it was in our childhood. For me that is certain recipes my mom made in my childhood.

Their AI policy looks very reasonable, and they certainly aren't vibe coding. Everything is rigorously reviewed and tested by a handful of experienced, competent humans.

FWIW they all sound equally ok to me. I never learned any of these acronyms, tho I've come across them on occasion, and if someone had presented any of the 4 as THE acronym for this I'd have believed them.

And I think writing "3x" implies the precedence in a way that "3 * x" doesn't.

Why? Why would this be important?

I really enjoy a loaf that kind of splits the difference between a crusty artisan loaf and a soft sandwich loaf, and has some texture to it, like seeds or cracked grains.

I would just make the general comment, in response to reading the various exchanges in this thread, that there is a lot of theory around this stuff, and yes there are studies that support some of it, but these theories are by no means something that should be taken as 'fact.' To the extent you find them useful in navigating the terrain they attempt to map, great, but I would avoid getting locked into these ideas in figuring out how to deal with emotions (your own or others) in real life.

A lot of different things can produce anger. Frustration can produce anger. Stress can produce anger.

Often things that may be no one's fault (or no ones but your own) and yet it's often a natural reaction to direct that anger at whoever or whatever it's in front of you.

Those two things are not unrelated.

You're not going to tell us anything about what kind of pie uses tinned ham?
