You have a keen wit

The PC…it hungers.

“living in their own world” is a common turn of phrase

Yes, my hybrid does this. And makes a super annoying louder sound when put in reverse.

30ish years ago, I burned my own screens using this red film that you would cut with an xacto knife and peel off the parts you didn’t want. Omg it was so tedious. We were manually doing the job of a modern Cricut.

About 5 years ago I wanted to do a project but no longer had any of my old gear. Bought a screen online and for sure bought the upgrade for them to burn the art on it for me. So worth it. I was so tickled that that service even existed.

The real one to worry about is stopping the elevator for an ad break. You’re trapped now removed!

Not only hemorrhoids but you can also get diverticula from straining too hard too often. They don’t go away once they form, and can become infected (diverticulitis) which is most unpleasant. Pain like kidney stones or appendicitis.

Yes, I wish we had done this then as well. I also would tell myself what my migraine triggers are, so that I could try to avoid getting the worst one ever the day after the wedding. I started the honeymoon on hard mode, and didnt get to enjoy the initial travel. It took a couple days to subside and then honeymoon was great.

This would make a great cross stitch pattern. Like one of those floral circles grandma might have on her wall… but less saccharine, more contemplative.

Gee thanks, they’re cured.

I am giddy-happy for you!

I’m glad you have someone with you to share in the event. It is going to be such a special day!

Outlets definitely have lesser quality products made just for them + a few of the real thing that are seconds, closeouts, or just leftover for whatever reason. I worked at a Cole Haan outlet in the 90s. Quality was variable then too.

And then given the results, Pooli suggested I dump about 5lbs of baking soda in there to neutralize the acidity. Worked like a charm.

You’ll be fine as long as you’re giving yourself enough time before boarding to get to the airport. Just follow the airline’s advice for how early to go. Once you have more experience flying, you may be able to cut that time down if you’re familiar with the ebbs and flows of your airport.

QR code should be no issues. Turning your brightness up can help if it is being difficult to scan. If you still have doubts, get your boarding pass printed at the kiosk.

It may be more noisy near the engines but over the wings are the structurally safest parts of the plane.

Enjoy your trip!

I like collective. Smaller than commune. More cozy than cohabiting.

Good idea. If one is worried that nat geo would be too upsetting if they’re showing “nature taking its course” kind of stuff where the wildebeest doesn’t make the river crossing, I offer the alternative streaming channel:

thepetcollective.tv

It’s just clips of sweet and/or funny pets, no potentially upsetting things.

Gabrielle finds herself in Norway, runs into Thor’s daughter and trains/mentors her in the way of Xena. They fight against the patriarchy, ice giants, crabby elves, and world-eating snakes.

lol, watched that series of videos unfold in real time on The Soup, and am sheepishly realizing there’s probably a whole generation of people now that were too young/ not alive yet when that train wreck went down.

Not Guinea, but I saw guinea pigs raised for food in a village in Tanzania. The local who owned them found it hilarious that we keep them as pets in the U.S. He asked me what we call them, and after i replied guinea pig, he said they definitely don’t taste like pig.

As someone diagnosed ADHD (i.e. my relationship with dopamine is complicated) and a grandfather who had Parkinson’s, this is news to me and a little worrying, but perhaps also making sense because I’m pretty sure adhd may have been present yet undiagnosed in that side of the family.
