You may have heard the myth that applying urine to a jellyfish sting is able to counteract the venom, but there is no scientific basis for this “remedy” and it can sometimes actually make the sting hurt more, or make the venom more powerful.

Jellyfish stings cause more harm in people with weak immune systems, elderly people, and children. Normally, they will cause red marks, tingling, itching, or numbness. Jellyfish stings are painful, but in most cases, they are mild and are not too serious. It’s also possible to be stung by a dead jellyfish that has washed up on the shore, so always watch your step on the beach. Still, jellyfish do sting people from time to time, usually by brushing against swimmers, surfers, or other water recreation enthusiasts. They mostly use their stinging tentacles to catch and eat their dinner. Jellyfish don’t generally intend to sting humans. Because they contain so much water, Jellyfish die quite fast after they wash up on a beach. Stormy weather and strong winds can also bring jellyfish to shore, and they can end up on the beach.

Love love love this game, it's the only one I've seen that matches seemingly endless puzzle packs with an "in game currency" situation that only requires you to buy into if you want to binge a TON of puzzles in one sitting. especially with it being a little more expensive than other apps, I wish there were more options. I hate to admit how regularly I purchase tokens for this game. Because I hate that I have to do the easy ones just to get to the next pack. For instance, one pack that contains only hard or super-hard puzzles. My only recommendation would be to offer packs that are all one specific level. Which, in my opinion, is odd because if you’ve made it almost to the end, it means you’re no longer a beginner… the puzzles shouldn’t be getting easier. Now that I’m getting close to the end of the packs, I’ve noticed there are less “super-hard” & “15x15” puzzles. And I have to admit, once I began playing this game, I saw the 15x15 puzzles and was intimidated! I thought I’d never be able to start them let alone complete them! But now that I’ve been playing, the hard and super-hard puzzles are the ones I prefer! Which brings me to my one complaint… or more of a recommendation. Also, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve purchased tokens, but there are no ads in between games, which is amazing! Considering a lot of the puzzles take more than 10 tokens. I play so much that the 10 tokens they give you to play is not enough. I have became obsessed with this game! I love it! The only con I have is that I’m spending money for tokens, lol.

While you’re at Costco pick up a rotisserie chicken and use it for the chicken in this recipe. I like using Hidden Valley brand (I buy the big container at Costco). I like regular mac and cheese but I prefer this version because it has more than one note of flavor thanks to the ranch seasoning and crispy crumbled bacon. It’s more of a main dish than a side dish because it has chicken in it too.

Not only does the code look simpler, but we’ve also gone from 260 bytes to 103 bytes, reducing the code needed to get this pattern by more than half. This means our pyramid pattern can be reduced to: $s: 20px A pattern cell with a conic gradient’s hard stops at every 25% starting from 45° w.r.t. However, in our case, we want to offset the start of the gradient by 45° in the clockwise direction and afterwards make every one of the four shades occupy a quarter (25%) of the available space around the midpoint of our square box. Highlighting the pattern’s cellsīy default, conic gradients start from 12 o’clock and go clockwise. In this case, it’s pretty obvious we have square boxes and where their limits are, but it’s a really useful technique for more complex patterns. What I like to do when coding repeating patterns is draw equidistant vertical and horizontal lines delimiting the rectangular boxes defined by the background-size. Using conic-gradient(), we can now get the same result in a much simpler manner, with a single background layer instead of four! So don’t worry if you don’t understand how those gradients manage to create the pyramid pattern because, one, it is complicated and, two, you don’t even need to understand that! ![]() It took me a while to get it, even though gradients are one of the CSS features I’m most comfortable with.
