    Why tho? I don’t like it, too many interactions. I prefer acetaminophen.

    Last night, I read the book Grand Theft Astro by Scott Meyers. A moderately important plot point is about something called the Ibu. This made me think of that.

    The book is still sitting next to me from where I set it when I finished reading it. When I picked it up to double check I remembered the word correctly, the book fell open to almost exactly the page that introduced the Ibu. Oddly serendipitous to allow me to make such a meaningless post.

    FWIW, the book was not a masterpiece and has a very recognizable style - positives and negatives - from his books that I’ve previously read, but I found it enjoyable enough to read in one sitting.

        It blows my mind how much people take OTC pain killers. I take one OTC pain pill maybe every three or four years (if even that).

        I’m not anti medicine by any means, but I just don’t get it. Either I experience a lot less pain than other people or other people can’t be mildly uncomfortable for a little while without immediately taking drugs (and not even fun drugs)

          It may be dependant on age.

          I used to never take analgesics, but as I got older I found myself taking more and more as my body tends to hurt more and more.

        I thought the main concern with ibuprofen was the stomach? Liver (and maybe kidneys?) is Tylenol. Maybe I’m wrong though and it’s both.
