Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I’m doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.
Also, I’m waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.
Welcome to 22 hour work shifts, with twenty minute breaks.
Or just have the ability to control how fast it grows.
Prove to me you never raped your niece
Be careful with this one though.
This is hilarious. Last time my union tried to do anything, Biden stepped in and stopped us. Then he took a victory lap about being a hero in to us while Congress forced a shitty contract down our throats.
Most of us are either completely deluded or utterly crushed by the collapse of our entire system of government. We know this is corrupt, and we want to organize to bring it to an end. But we have so many checks and balances that even if we all marched today with pitchforks and torches it wouldn’t effect any real change without burning down every police station, city hall, state house, and the federal buildings. All while hoping the military doesn’t show up and now us down with their weaponry. All the whole knowing that there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of police using violence and death as a deterrent.
In short, we know, and we can’t see any way out of this mess. It wasn’t supposed to be possible, and looking back we all saw it coming. But we were just dismissed as alarmists every time we spoke up and we are surrounded by morons who think this is the best thing that has ever happened to this national.
You started out strong on your first half. But we don’t need war, we need wise leadership. The power really is in the voters here. But decades of infighting (in each nation) over political stances have allowed scumbags to control all our nations’ UN interactions. We need to eliminate veto, or extend it to a three or four nation minimum (you need three nations voting to veto to block something) that is available to all nations.
Down voting because war is always stupid and no one should ever sell the lie that innocent people need to suffer.
Zero symptoms. It’s something very common, and usually discovered by coincidence. But I’m down 40 pounds so far. My grandmother died of non-alcoholic cirrhosis. It was horrifying to watch as a teen. Now that I’m in my forties this diagnosis, which is common, seriously scares the hell out of me. So I take it as a good thing that I am using to make lifelong changes. Crossing my fingers. I still want to lose 20-30 pounds. If nothing else I’m saving great money avoiding the convenience food I abused on a daily basis. And I’m getting really into working out and am hoping to get some “gains” in the next couple months.
I was going to guess Minnesota when you said garbage plates. But I guess that’s different too. Wisconsin (where I am) has tons of cranberry bogs.
Cold soda, pour a short burst of soda over the ice to “rinse” it and prevent the texture of the ice from stripping the carbonation (same thing that happens when you put mentos in soda). It also fills the glass with as much carbon dioxide as possible, displacing the oxygen. Then tip the glass slightly and pour against the glass and between ice cubes about half way, rest for just a second (not completely) and finish pouring.
Ice from a home freezer is completely frozen, but a dedicated ice maker for restaurants or gas stations will have ice that is still wet which makes this far easier.
The absolute easiest and best way I have found is a Qarbo bottle. Which is a brand of home carbonator that allows you to carbonate any liquid and slowly release the gas. I will fill it with ice and soda, then recarbonate it before shaking it while pressurized.
Yes, I’m an American.
My allotment would be taken up by my wife and kids. So I’d have to ask.
Is cheese curds a thing where you are? If so, I might be where you are.
Technically the entire bag all at once will raise blood sugar higher, causing a bigger spike. The liver can’t deal with that much, so it converts the excess to fat faster than if it is spread out. The bigger problem is making it a habit of surprising your metabolism with huge calorie spikes with starvation in-between. One time isn’t bad enough to be concerned with. Weekly, or even daily will wreck your liver (non alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is just a couple steps away from cirrhosis)
Also, I’m no doctor nor do I have any background in the medical field. I just have a more progressed version of NAFLD from eating things like Oreos with both hands for forty years.
They did. Diesel steam was the main source of steam over time. Coal was used for a relatively short period of time. Wood for even shorter before that. Jupiter (the engine from Central Pacific that met I. That famous photo of driving the Golden Spike on the Transcontinental Railroad) was wood fired while it’s Union Pacific counterpart was more modern, and coal fired. But my grandad ran Diesel Steam his whole career.
Today there isn’t much nostalgia for Diesel Steam. So a lot of the working museum pieces are coal fired. I can’t remember if Big Boy, from UP, is diesel or coal. I think it’s diesel though.
I’m a railroader not a foamer.
But an insane president will bluster about things he doesn’t want to actually do (like Canada and Greenland) as a distraction to keep us focused on this nonsense while he raids the government coffers for all the retirement money he can get his grubbly diseased hands on.
As an American, I absolutely love this.
Chains are easy. A simple pair of bolt cutters can get through fairly thick chains. A parent of wiser care giver is often the reason they get returned.
I had a friend who grew up in Oklahoma during the 70s. He taught me how to make crop circles and UFOs to freek people out. It isn’t hard actually.
One classic UFO technique is to take a large white (can be black, but white works better) garbage bags and attach it to a simple square frame made out of something lightweight like a coat hanger or balsam wood. It has to have an X crossing the middle where you place a candle. Fill the bag with a hair dryer (or just wait for the candle to do it) and the lift will take it up like a hot air balloon. It will get tossed around in the wind in erratic patterns and since it is largely unrecognizable most people will have a hard time approximating size and distance. As a result, it will look like a large moving in impossible ways looks like it is farther away, and that makes it look like it is moving faster than possible, and changing directions in ways that a helicopter or airplane would not be able to do). Instant aliens.
I have a memory like that. I can remember details going way, way back farther than I should be able to remember (no previous life or anything). One day I decided to delve as deeply as I could to find my earliest memory and I swear I remember an image like you described of my arm with a huge medical bracelet on it from inside an incubator.
Unfortunately that memory is fading. I’m 45 now and every year it gets worse. I just don’t remember the details I used to and am finding more and more things that I completely forgot happened only a month later. The older members of my mom’s family all suffer with mental decline that almost approached Alzheimer’s like symptoms. They say to take your B vitamins. We will see if that holds.
The Taxer-in-Cheif can be a moron at the same time that corporations rape our wallets without either of them excusing the other.
Prices are set by graphing a demand schedule and the supply. You graph how many sales you will get at each price point (sales go up as price goes down). Then you graph how many a company will produce at each price point (the more it costs, the less they will be willing to make/risk). The point where those two graphs intersect is the equilibrium. Which is the best price to charge. Taxes shift the cost, increase the price where they intersect.
Digital is weird. Iirc, the risk is more in pirating. The more copies that exist, or the easier they are to access, the more pirated content will be out there. Don’t forget to include shareholder profits in cost, and the cost of other parts of the business (like a beloved endeavor that doesn’t turn a profit, Costco hot dogs for example).
I’m not an economist and welcome any better explanations or corrections to this. It’s been a while since I took that class. But I love the topic.
