Migraines can be very infuriating to have. They differ from normal headaches in many ways such that they can last 72 hours! Have you been unlucky to experience one of those?
Yeah they are the worst the pain can get really intense to where you have to take medication
Yeah medication like ibuprofin can alleviate migraines, but also a change in behavior can reduce them too! Avoid the triggers if you know them.
What can be something that triggers a migrane?
Well it depends on the person. Unfortunately the underlying mechanisms of migraines are not 100% known, but for me personally overthinking triggers my migraines and poor nutrition (deficiency in magnesium according to my doctor)

Initial recommended treatment is with simple pain medication such as ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) for the headache, medication for the nausea, and the avoidance of triggers. Specific medications such as triptans or ergotamines may be used in those for whom simple pain medications are not effective. Caffeine may be added to the above.

How do you feel about marriage, sometimes I feel like it's necessary but others times I'm not so sure
Well, marriage is just a socially or ritually recognized union between two people, so if you don't care about either of those, than it doesn't matter.

Health effects of wine
The health effects of wine are mainly determined by its active ingredient alcohol. Some studies found that, when comparing people who consume alcohol, drinking small quantities of alcohol (up to one standard drink per day for women and one to two drinks per day for men) is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and early death. However, other studies found no such effect.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Green sauce
Green sauce is a family of cold, uncooked sauces based on herbs, including the Spanish and Italian "salsa verde", the French "sauce verte", the German "Grüne Soße" or "Frankfurter Grie Soß" (Frankfurt dialect), and the Argentinian "chimichurri".
The Mexican "salsa verde", though also called a "green sauce", is instead based on tomatillos; the New Mexico version uses a green chile base.

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Rail transport
Rail transport is a means of transferring passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which is also known as tracks. It is also commonly referred to as train transport. In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on ties (sleepers) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves.

The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.

diverse mitochondrial and nuclear genes. In other words, as closely related domestic dogs are to the grey wolf, they still obtain a large amount of genetic variation. The domestic dog is the only large carnivore to have ever become domesticated. The domestic dog first appeared with humans over 30,000 years ago. It is suggested based on nuclear genetic evidence that dogs originated from wolf populations in Europe and the Middle East, however, mitochondrial evidence suggests that dogs originated from wolf populations located in East Asia. Data also suggests that dogs may

Spiders scare me. But I do like Huntsman Spiders because they kill cockroaches. What kind of spiders do you hate or like?
Tarantulas! they are an invertebrate that relies on an exoskeleton for muscular support
I've seen those in pet stores. Do you have a pet Tarantula?
I know that for the most part they arent dangerous to humans, and some are popular in the pet trade but i am deathly afriad of them
Oh, I guess you never had one then. I think they are ok but they don't have much utility.

Spider
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and chelicerae with fangs able to inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exceptions of air and sea colonization. , at least 48,200 spider species, and 120 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been dissension within the scientific community as

Lifecycle.
Like other spiders, tarantulas have to shed their exoskeleton periodically to grow, a process called molting. A young tarantula may do this several times a year as a part of the maturation process, while full-grown

I wonder how Phonograph recorders work.
I have never used one, because they are before my time. But they work by storing sound on a round disk. A needle spins around and plays the music off the spiraled grooves.
Interesting, the are now antiques I guess or are they still produced?
They are antiques now, but a few bands still produce their music on them. Now they are called vinyl records.
Yes i know many people collect those and they value the difference in sound that they get.

The phonograph record has made a notable niche resurgence in the early 21st century – 9.2 million vinyl records were sold in the U.S. in 2014, a 260% increase since 2009. Likewise, in the UK sales increased five-fold from 2009 to 2014.

I feel like workplace relationships is so unprofessional for an organization.
Really? In what ways do you feel they are unprofessional?
It comes with a lot if the couple is going through personal feelings, affections with the other person it effects the staff as a whole.
I agree with public displays of affection. In a professional environment I wouldn't want to have to deal with it either. Is it a big problem where you work?
Not in my current job thanks for that but in my previous job yes and it was a manager and a team member and once they started dating the worker's ability to work went down.
Oh wow, I can see how a manager dating a peer could be troublesome. In many jobs I've had this was not allowed, although peer to peer relationships were acceptable.

Due to the great deal of time co-workers spend together, approximately 50 hours each week, friendships start to emerge through their shared experiences, and their desire for a built-in support system.

reason this whole IAmAnArchie campaign started is because kids in the festival circuit would be like, “Oh, that’s me. Archie is me.” There are so many ways you can connect with that character and kids always connect with him, no matter what place or what country they’re in. They feel that sh** that he’s going through, and they’re living it. So they started giving that feedback and saying "I’m an Archie because I’m depressed and I hate my family, or

Youtube is great! I didn't know the people from PayPal created it. That is quite interesting.
Yeah! And Google bought the site in 2006 for 1.65 billion!
Wow! That is a crazy large amount of money! How does Youtube even make money?
The user generated and corporate media videos are monetized through google adsense!
That is ingenious! How many users does Youtube have?
I'm not entirely sure! But I'm guessing millions of people upload, view, share and subscribe to other users!
It must be millions! Isn't it true that some content creators on Youtube make millions of dollars?

Christmas in the post-war United States
Christmas in the United States during the post-war years (1946–1964) reflected a period of peace, productivity, and prosperity. Americans staged sumptuous Christmases and enjoyed a variety of holiday foods unknown to previous generations. Several films, foods, toys, and television programs of the era have become American Christmas traditions.
Once reliant upon Germany for its ornaments, toys, and even its Christmas customs, America became self-sufficient in the post-War years with Christmas ornaments

Blue
Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

“A friend of mine New York at the Salmagundi Club asked me why I didn’t paint watercolors. I said I don’t know how, and he said all you have to do is keep your board a little slanted so when you wash the color onto the paper it runs downhill. That I was my only lesson in watercolor.”
