Strepsils is shit tbh . u may wanna try getting other brand of lozenges from guardian pharmacy which i find it effective . Natural remedy wise would be honeylemonwater which usually works for me .

In that case , have it remove if u wish . <| sep |> IMHO a real use of trigraphs even today when some piece of code REALLY works you can increase the probability that nobody tries to rewriteoptimizeinvalidate that code . A very limited advantage , indeed . Optimization . <| sep |> Right and only two of them could make it to trial where they were proven to be colluding liars who got off Scot free . But we don ' t talk about that part .
