I’m almost 40 and still get carded a lot..
Not at bars. They don’t care and haven’t since I was 18. But my chosen place to buy beer has a 100% carding policy regardless of age, so it doesn’t even feel nice. :( I just have my card ready before I get there so they are just like “ooh your totally on top of it!” That feels alright.
About a week ago I got carded for a video game rated M. First time that’s ever happened in my entire life, no joke.. I’m still salty about that.
I’d like to see more of this sort of thing, personally. As just part of the available options. Colors would be great too!
Oh man, parasite eve was so frustrating, but such a good game!
Is it considered strategy because of the (vvvvvvvvvery) limited ammo/supplies? I.. wouldn’t have pegged it that way, personally, hence the question. But reading through the article, I don’t remember it playing how they seem to be describing..
Idk if it would be my cup of tea these days, but I’m kinda excited to try it either way :)
They protest at a planned parenthood in a strip mall here. It can’t be seen from the road, but they protest near the road. There’s always at least one person in the middle of the day, almost always some old dude (but not the same old dude).
Makes them look like they are protesting the pet supply place. Or a burger joint. If not for them I wouldn’t even have known there was a planned parenthood there.
Also doesn’t do abortions. Not even the medication ones. They screen you and send you to another location that does, last I heard.
The botulinum toxin is heat sensitive and easily destroyed by boiling temps. As long as you properly cook it, you’ll be fine. From botulism.
Other stuff maybe, but what you said about botulinum toxin specifically is definitely 100% wrong.
This is from Wikipedia, so like this isn’t some obscure knowledge or whatever. It’s suuuuper common info for home canners.
The toxin, though not the spores, is destroyed by heating it to more than 85 °C (185 °F) for longer than five minutes. The clostridial spores can be destroyed in the autoclave with moist heat (120°C/ 250°F for at least 15 minutes) or dry heat (160°C for 2 hours) or by irradiation. The spores of group I strains are inactivated by heating at 121°C (250°F) for 3 minutes during commercial canning. Spores of group II strains are less heat-resistant, and they are often damaged by 90°C (194°F) for 10 minutes, 85°C for 52 minutes, or 80°C for 270 minutes; however, these treatments may not be sufficient in some foods.
It suggests that art and literature are worthless, and if you have such a degree you’ll be working fast food, known as among the worst jobs (low paid and nobody has a lot of respect for fast food workers).
So they don’t have ranked voting, then?
Well, good for them for working together to hopefully sidestep the worst of it. I hope it works.
I’m a bit unclear here; how does withdrawing from the next set of runoffs help prevent the problem? This article really doesn’t say.
I know nothing about their system, but wouldn’t that mean the people still running won by default? Or is this more to only give people two options instead of 3+ which dilutes the vote maybe? Does France not have some sort of ranked voting?
This is basically the reason we have artificial sweeteners, too.
Some dude was trying to make/do something, and labs were sort of “lol everything is safe” back then so he like… had a sandwich.. and noticed it was sweet.. so he just sort of tasted all the stuff he was working with and found aspartame. (I believe it was aspartame)
I believe the same is true for fabreeze, the underlying chemical mechanism was an accidental discovery because the researcher’s wife noticed he didn’t smell of cigarettes. It never caught on tho because it, naturally, has no smell, and you become blind to smells you are constantly exposed to, so until they added perfumes (fabreeze as we know it today), even tho it worked, nobody cared to use it. I wish I could actually find it unscented.. the scented shit stinks and gives me headaches.
The nice thing about it is that this isn’t actually heating an area, it heats you and the mattress/blankets around you, basically making a microclimate in your sleepy cocoon. Very very efficient, even if your electric rates aren’t great (mine really aren’t either, but it still barely touches it, they just don’t use a lot of electricity). I put my heated pad under a padded pad to help retain and even out the heat, and it helps a lot.
Happy to help either way! So here’s some more info!

Most of the below comes from that link-
60-100 watts is roughly average energy use, but you can get lower, and smaller pads will use less.
Energy Cost = (Wattage x Usage Hours) / 1000 x Electricity Rate
For example, let’s assume your heated mattress pad has a wattage of 75 watts, you use it for 8 hours per night, and your electricity rate is $0.12 per kWh. The calculation would be as follows:
Energy Cost = (75 watts x 8 hours) / 1000 x $0.12 = $0.072 per night
For one mattress pad for a 30-day month with the above assumptions, it would run you a whopping $2.16/mth.
Yeah, I’m basically built for tropical environments. I’m cold at 75 unless I have a sweatshirt on. And I still wear that big fuzzy bathrobe through most of summer (I don’t have AC, and never have, but I do have dehumidifiers for when it’s really warm, and that’s generally enough).
I mean… No offense or anything but I really don’t care if I mis-spell a brand name. It’s super unimportant in the grand scheme of things. It’s.. all just stupid marketing anyway, and if they cared, they would have used a smarter spelling.
What I am concerned about is calling oneself stupid and a nazi (of any sort at this point) while actually being neither. Even as a hyperbolic thing, it’s something I greatly dislike.
Please be kinder to yourself. It’s ok to be pedantic, but just say that instead :)
I also have things that make me unreasonably annoyed. It’s ok to have those things :)
