When I bought my first car, my dad (who owned the dealership lol) shredded the paperwork that I signed in cursive, and made me re-write in block letters. It’s the only car or other big-expense/important thing that I didn’t sign for with my usual signature.
My other confusing problem with that transaction was I wasn’t allowed to buy the kind of vehicle I wanted. Yes, I was already an adult living on my own by then, but I figured he knew best. (he did not)
I had scarlet fever when I was six, and when I recovered I kept trying to turn the TV off even when it wasn’t on. My parents eventually realized the illness gave me tinnitus. It’s so weird to see someone else describe it that way because no one really remembers that sound anymore haha
I eat breakfast consistently, usually some form of rice porrige and various veggies. Lunch is my most skipped meal, but I forget to eat dinner sometimes too lol
If I’m lucky I made rice for dinner and have left over to stir fry the next morning
Every college chemistry class I’ve taken (5 now) has had a professor asking why no living thing uses all d-aminos. Kinda sounds like that experiment may answer the question one way or another!
I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol
This is epigenetics, changes to a genome via stress and environment that are passsed to offspring. We’ve known for a while that older men have children with autism or schizophrenia more often than young men, and investigating the cause and mechanism like they have in this study will help people have healthier children in the future.
The type of RNA that are involved in this study are regulatory, which means they can help or prevent gene activity, and are very important in the development of an embryo because the egg doesn’t have this in abundance like the sperm does
I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.
Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.
Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk
My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk
My boy is 12+ pounds, he seems pretty cozy in the hammocks and house. It’s hard to tell because I swear half his weight is fur, but he can curl up and not be spilling out of it. The old lady is less than half that weight, she does like the house better with a small cuddler. It’s a pretty sturdy tree tbh
Cat for reference
I got a floor to ceiling tree for my young male cat, but even my ancient cat loves galloping up, so I got a second one and put a little bridge between the top levels so they can both run up and down as they wish
The old lady does not care for the hammocks, but my boy does
From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.
He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.
He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish
Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do
It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.
I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me
Sandy clearly has the high ground
Found the cold-hearted Sandy downvoter!
This is my favorite part tbh. What a dweeb
There’s a Native American phrase that is a morning greeting, but it means “you survived the night”
I love that he’s wearing a plate carrier like a fashy dweeb. Especially because people just lobbed water balloons and silly string at his face
It’s very easy to make with a mold, and you can add any fillings you like
He said that if anyone audited they’d need to be able to read my name in the signature. I still trusted him at that point so I didn’t have much reason to question it lol
