I've been to an Arctic Monkeys concert where a dude behind me broke his leg and kept moshpitting (don't ask me why there was a brutal moshpit at an Arctic Monkeys concert) for another hour before he was finally taken care of by paramedics.

What is it?

    But it's fascinating. I'd love to get a karyogram done, to see if my chromosomes actually match what people would expect from the person I lived as up to this point.

    Would you expect something non-standard, or rather - would you be disappointed if it were one way or the other?

    volvoxvsmarla ,

    Yeah it reads more like from a self help book with a focus on belief systems and how your feelings and reactions to something are always the result of your very subjective perception of reality.

    Lol yeah that was the word I was looking for, thanks!

    But you got space for a drying machine?

    volvoxvsmarla ,

    This guy dries

    volvoxvsmarla ,

    You forgot to mention that machine drying also leads to clothes breaking/wearing down much faster

    For me berry seeds are the worst. I love berries but I find myself hardly chewing them because I hate the seeds being stuck everywhere.

    Last year I finally did it. I started taking advantage of being petite enough to fit into kids clothes. So much more colorful. So much more fun. And also cheaper. And with a toddler next to me wearing similar stuff you can at least identify which parent belongs to them on the playground, if we ever lose each other.

    Somehow this gives me flashbacks about desperately trying to weigh my boobs and not being able to figure out how to do so in a reproducible way

    volvoxvsmarla ,

    I tried that, but it is difficult to reproduce since it depends on literally millimeters on how deep you dip them in. Also, what about the under armpit part of the boob?

    We had that in my local park. There was a huge field that everyone walked through because it was much quicker than going around. So they finally made a sidewalk there (not with tarmac though, more like gravel and sand mix). Just a couple of weeks later there was a new path just parallel to this one. My guess is the problem was that the field was a bit hole shaped (sorry I don't know a better term in English) and this, as well just the nature of the sidewalk, led to it accumulating water puddles, and also it just turned into sandy/stoney mud when it rained. For bikes it was also just more comfortable to ride over the grass than over gravel. But it still felt like an asshole move.

    I clicked on the hyperlink with great anticipation to find a link to the Wikipedia page for Poe's Law, the Dunning-Kruger effect, the history of the flat earth conspiracy, or an article about it. Didn't expect what I got but I can't say I was disappointed.

    volvoxvsmarla ,

    Honestly this should be the norm everywhere.

    Allergies cause inflammation, and repeated exposure to food allergens reduces your guts ability to absorb nutrients and can be very very dangerous.

    I'd argue that's the best case scenario. Witnessing someone going into anaphylactic shock from eating something with honey is a whole different level of nightmare fuel.

    Another thing to be aware of: there is lactose intolerance and milk allergy. I had a friend who constantly got served lactose free catering at conferences etc because he announced way beforehand that he has a milk allergy. He always felt like an asshole not eating the obviously milk protein containing foods that were prepared especially for him. But, like, when the alternative is going to the hospital, politeness won't be your choice.

    Excellent.

    I wasn't even sure what the message was, since the left picture looks so much worse to me, that I needed the comment to confirm. And I couldn't agree more. Stop equating looks with personality traits, success, implied actions.

    That's true, we need fossil fuels for so many things besides transportation. At the same time, we are simply running out of fossil fuels. Even if we ignore the impact on the environment completely, there will be a point in the not too distant future when there will simply be nothing left to pump.

    So what I am wondering is, even if one thinks man made climate change is a hoax or something similar, shouldn't the first and foremost thing everyone agrees on be to still spare those scarce resources? For things we really ("really") need to make from oil?

    The first thing that comes to mind (maybe since I work in the lab) is medical equipment. You don't really want to have to wash and reuse things like catheters, do you? I am not sure if bioplastics (i.e., still plastics, but made from plants) would be an alternative here once we run out but I sincerely hope so.

    Prices will go up, in any case, and it will be a painful transistion. But now we are at a somewhat luxurious point where we can still make this transistion somewhat controlled and "smoothly". If we continue to treat oil as a never ending resource and then do a surprised pikachu face once there is nothing left this will be much much worse, won't they?
