Condensation shouldn't be an issue as long as you're not cooling below the current dew point.

However, after experiencing one of these underfloor cooling systems once, I can say that the biggest issue is that cold air tends to be heavier and thus stay down. So in order to cool the entire room, not just the layer of air right above the floor, you need something to move the air, which is probably why they're providing fans. Either that or you can just lie on the floor all the time...

Floor heating works because warm air rises. I never understood why 'floor' cooling wasn't piped through the ceiling, instead. There are probably some engineering or heat transfer issues there, though.

especially the looting, that was done for the woman and the children. I bet they'll donate looted items to some charity /s

Paracetamol is not anti-inflammatory in any serious context, which is to say taking paracetamol to reduce actual inflammation (think gout or rheumatoid arthritis) is more or less useless. From the wikipedia article on paracetamol:

Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by reducing the active form of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. This occurs only when the concentration of arachidonic acid and peroxides is low. Under these conditions, COX-2 is the predominant form of cyclooxygenase, which explains the apparent COX-2 selectivity of paracetamol. Under the conditions of inflammation, the concentration of peroxides is high, which counteracts the reducing effect of paracetamol. Accordingly, the anti-inflammatory action of paracetamol is slight.

It is, however, an analgesic.

Yes, as others have said, it's paracetamol with some other stuff.

Something I've not seen mentioned yet however is to please be mindful that these do contain it and try to not take additional paracetamol (say, in tablet form) without watching your dose. Paracetamol overdose leads to some very nasty effects. Be careful not to exceed the daily dose of paracetamol, as stated in the product insert.

Nonsense, Microsoft will just put lots of PMs and Scrum masters on the task and they'll have a working reactor in 1 year max.

/s, just in case any PMs are reading this and think it's totally reasonable

They might be doing it just for this though. To prevent actual russians that want to surrender doing it, you convince the other party that it's usually a trick, so no more accepting surrenders. Then you go back to your own and tell them 'there, now nobody will believe you. you have to fight for us or die'. between this and the brigades hunting down deserters, it's a really nasty spot to be in for those that don't want to fight. Back to fragging then?

Or they just have become so desensitized to suffering and conditions that they became sociopaths in the process. Point being that it's either that or getting burned out, but I don't think the profession attracts that many sociopaths, it just makes them.

In other news, the sky is blue.

This is not to discount their trauma, it's to say that anybody expecting this not to be the case is having unrealistic ideas.

I think this one is meant to be just a large bathtub, so no smell of chemicals/noise and potentially just for one person or two depending on size, plus you can have a bath while waiting for your roast

the process of eating is not as straightforward as it seems. while manipulating food and chewing it, you do release tiny microscopic particles of it (especially true for something that has the consistency of peanuts) that end up floating in the air. somebody with high enough sensitivity will be affected, as one single strand of the protein responsible (or a single fragment) can trigger anaphylactic shock

edit: I stand corrected, somebody below has linked some studies done on this and it appears to be more about surface contamination, not air exposure. But then if it's surface contamination, that would be an issue from the previous passengers on the flight, not the current ones I think?

Do not feed the troll. Strange fellas, lying on the internet, arbitrarily defining communism to suit their rose-colored ideology is no basis for a system of debate.

True debate stems from a knowledge of history, past events and conditions that led to them, not some farcical comment (as the one you are replying to).

If I went around in communist times claiming I knew what Marxism-Leninism was just because I read a manifesto, they'd send the secret police after me.

temperatures are just a construct of the liberals to push their nefarious tree-hugging agenda, man!
