what kind of pain do you have? you can take 3 of the 200 mg tabs no more frequently than every 6 hours as needed

no pain, im always just wondering, how many can i actually take, cause i assume the number on te bottle is a lie

yeah i mean the main issue with advil is taking high doses for more than a few weeks could lead to stomach ulcers - the bottle iirc says take 1 to 2 every 4 to 6 hrs but prescription strength is 600 mg so three at a time is no big deal for your usual aches or pain

literally just came to post this

K3vin,

Which Rilke is your go-to Rilke when you really just want to bathe in Rilkiness? If you could only take one Rilke collection to a desert island, which one would it be?

there are different rilkes for different moods, for me. when I'm feeling romantic/nostalgic, my go-to is "to lou andreas-salome", especially the second stanza:

s one puts a handkerchief before pent-in-breath-
no: as one presses it against a wound
out of which the whole of life, in a single gush,
wants to stream, I held you to me: I saw you
turn red from me. How could anyone express
what took place between us? We made up for everything
there was never time for. I matured strangely
in every impulse of unperformed youth,
and you, love, had wildest childhood over my heart.

it's at once tenderly specific and vague enough to be about anybody; I think of three people when I read it. "love song" also has a particular couplet that is really simple but always chokes me up: "upon what instrument are we two spanned? / and what musician holds us in his hand?"

when I just want to be bowled over by amazing writing, I'll re-read some of my favorites from new poems -- "archaic torso of apollo" is probably still my 'favorite', though I don't read it as often anymore because I've just read it so many times. "orpheus. eurydice. hermes." never fails to crush me. that entire collection is filled with really great stuff

a couple of months ago, I got most of the way through his "duino elegies", and loved the shit out of it, but they are dense, I need to read them each several times before moving on to the next one, and ultimately I became distracted with reading other things and life and haven't finished. that will have to be a project for an upcoming weekend

I own two volumes of his work: ahead of all parting, a very comprehensive collection translated by stephen mitchell, and "letters to a young poet" (also mitchell). before I started the elegies I'd have chosen "letters" as my desert-island rilke (and probably one of my ten desert island books, period), since I've more or less memorized most of my favorite short poems of his anyway, but now I'm torn, because I think I would need the elegies, and I still haven't started "sonnets to orpheus"

k3vin are you a doctor type yet or what

literally had my first day today. I'm still alive and so is everyone else!

I want a doctor who can quote Rilke.

I am like, at best, the third-coolest doctor on this board

Congrats! What flavor of doctoring are you doing?

internal medicine. you’ll be happy to hear I’m not really thinking cards anymore

Oh I love me some internists! Cards are mostly (though not exclusively) tools and/or assholes.

Bonus points if you go geriatrics :)
