But everyone knows they're healthy! It's a herbal remedy taken bronchially as an inhumnation, as this video by Dr.Fry indicates: ▶ this video

@croes2023 · in “The Wrong Abstraction”

>duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction Isn't that a pretty useless sentence? Of course duplication is cheaper because aren't the higher costs one of the reasons why it's a wrong abstraction? Reminds of this sketch from Fry and Laurie ▶ this video >Hugh: Yes but too much is bad for you. > Stephen: Well of course too much is bad for you, that's what "too much" means you blithering twat. If you had too much water it would be bad for you, wouldn't it? "Too much" precisely means that quantity which is excessive, that's what it means. Could you ever say "too much water is good for you"? I mean if it's too much it's too much. Too much of anything is too much. Obviously. Jesus.
