Pop into your chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist. Describe your problem. They will recommend a suitable dressing.

Reply to LPT: When you’re traveling, don’t bring all of your charging cords individually. Get a surge protector and plug them all in to that, and plug the SP into the outlet at your destination. Saves a lot of annoyance trying to find an outlet for each cord around the room. by [deleted]

Nice way to snap connectors at the end of the cable plugged in.

Pack all in one bag and have working cables when you arrive.

During an average day, how many things do you touch that others have also touched? Door handles are the first to spring to mind.

Banks mail to the account holders address used when setting up the account. I have never heard of a bank that would accept a PO Box as an address.

>You said the very same thing when Russia spent like a month amassing troops at the Ukrainian border, didn't you.

Link to where I said that? I call BS, the same as the rest of your comment. Go play with kids your own age.

Take a deep breath then relax. I grew up with the previous cold war and at times it scared the shit out of me because I was young and inexperienced in the global political way of things.

Now, with a reasonably long life of experience, I see this as sabre rattling and posturing. Believe it or not, things can get a lot scarier but in the end it will eventually blow over.
