Your username reminds me of something. I don’t know what though …

If you’re worried about other people seeing questionable texts, you’re not youing hard enough.

It’s not a problem from my perspective. I don’t mind essays.

I’m tempted not to read it because I don’t like worrying (and I already do a lot of it), not because I don’t like reading.

I’m severely tempted not to read this comment … But I probably will.

Sincere question:

While I don’t think frogs deserve to die or anything, if they do so, what impact are they likely to have on our lives? Also, what’s killing them?

I’m so excited to have another reason to worry!

What is your unconventional typing style?

Mine, too!

Yeah, if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t do … Most of what I did to lead up to that point.

Fred hats?

Same!

Happy to help!

Haha, nice.

Funnily enough I’ve been talking to people a lot about screw types recently. My wife was taking some hardware out of the house and cursing the varied kinds of screws used during installation; a friend and co-worker has been obsessed with the varieties ever since I met him; and my six year old found some of the screws dropped by my wife and asked why they were different.

I’ve never understood that last one. Assuming I am otherwise physically healthy and don’t have any foreign objects in my mouth, I can’t really taste anything but neutrality. Technically I can probably taste saliva, but I think my brain filters that out and noting it doesn’t seem like it would help anyway.

Unless I’m misinterpreting and I’m supposed to go lick something during a panic attack. I know I’ve read that biting into a lemon can help.

One good thing about using a CPAP is that I can be fully covered by a blanket and still able to breathe. This occurred to me the other day when I left a bedroom window open during a snowstorm but was too lazy to get up and close it.

Reminds me of an old bash.org quote. As closely as I can recall:

Someone told me I should dance like I fight, all graceful and shit. It was going well … Until I dropped her on her head.

I’ve been told that brain freeze happens because the roof of your mouth detects cold, causing constriction of the blood vessels about your skull. (I looked this up and Wikipedia says it’s only a theory.)

Therefore, to combat that quickly, one needs to warm the roof of your mouth. I’ve gotten mixed results with using the tongue for warmth; I assume that, when it doesn’t work, it’s because whatever cooled the roof of my mouth also cooled my tongue.

Therefore, if your tongue doesn’t do the job, communicate with your partner consuming anything at least a little warmer than the food item that originally caused the problem should help. As the other commenter said, usually a warm drink will suffice, though in my experience it doesn’t even need to be particularly warm. I’ve drunk ice water to help before when the problem was something very cold like ice cream.

I broke my ankle, didn’t realize it was broken, and tried to twist it back into place and stand on it. Twice.

My doctors all had things to say about that, too. As well, like you, I have a pronounced limp after walking more than a few steps.

Apparently:

An eggshell is mostly calcium carbonate, riddled with microscopic pores, and lined with a thin protein membrane. In hot liquid, that membrane behaves like a natural flocculant, encouraging the tiny proteins and vegetable fines that cloud your stock to tangle together. The shell’s rough surface provides places for these particles to gather, and once aggregated, gravity does the rest. You don’t need much. For 1 litre of broth, the shells from one or two eggs can be enough to coax clarity.

Based on how that page loaded on my phone, I recommend reader mode if using Firefox.

This is why I have doubts about Macklemore’s business acumen:

I went to the moped store, said “Fuck it”

And salesman’s like “What up, what’s your budget?”

And I’m like “Honestly, I don’t know nothing about mopeds”

(Macklemore - Downtown)

I suppose at least he doesn’t immediately answer about the budget, but it still seems like a less than stellar negotiating technique.

Just FYI, the photic reflex is not universal.

Sure glad I have it though!

I like the PlayStation stylized screw much more.
