I saw this commercial linked elsewhere and I loved it. I'm not sure what the product is that they are advertising. A Bank? Really?

Because books.
Yeah, it's a bank. That made me a little teary.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
thank you all for that discussion of bacon fat, as you effectively quelled my hunger and staved off considerable amount of unecessary snacking.

There's a hot dog place around here that cooks its fries in duck fat on weekends.
Hot Doug's, The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium. It was featured on the Anthony Bourdain Chicago episode. In addition to the duck-fat fries on Fridays and Saturdays, they're known for their exotic sausages.
They were the only restaurant to get ticketed for serving foie gras during the city-wide ban a few years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
do you think it is possibly your gall bladder?
I wouldn't even know when to start.
The pain came back, the puking came back. I'm not entirely sure how I feel right now. Apart from not good.
I haven't tried lying down since I woke up. Just half-propped up.

Appendicitis: [link] Appendicitis pain can be located differently on some people.
In either case, if you get a fever, it's time to see a doctor.

Ginger is right. Take your temperature ita if you feel okay enough to maneuver your place.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, two out of those gallstone points are textbook:
Sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the center of your abdomen, just below your breastbone
And there are no comfortable positions. But I don't have a fever. 98.9 Like how I used to say I never threw up, I really never get fevers. They didn't think I had appendicitis until they got the appendix out, because I was normal temperature.
The nurse hotline lady said clear liquids and heating pads until tomorrow morning.

Tell me to leave the nuclear discussion on Facebook alone.
The NRC reported to Congress today that it believes that the spent fuel pool in Unit 4 is dry. If that's the case, there almost has to have been a leak in the fuel pool container. The IAEA released some figures on the actual temperature of the spent fuel pools, which is still below boiling, but well above normal, which is more or less room temperature. As usual, I'm suffering from incomplete and contradictory reports.
The NRC also recommended that American citizens move 50 miles from the plant, rather than the 12 miles recommended by Japanese authorities. I really hope the NRC tried and failed to convince the Japanese authorities to extend their limit, because we would be extremely pissed if Japanese authorities did that when we were having an accident. Yes, the Japanese government may be understating the risk. The Japanese also may have a sense of the state of the roads and how safe it is to extend the zone. If worse comes to worse, people are better off in their homes than stuck in a giant traffic jam.
