Weirdly, this post made me realize that not a single one of my siblings or cousins has reproduced, and that’s 7 on one side and 12 or so on the other, plus 3 for myself and siblings. And we are mostly mid 30s to early 50s.

IMHO everyone should invest in waterproof mattress barriers. Being waterproof, they prevent all the night sweat and body oils from soaking in and degrading the mattress faster (which is a legit issue that contributes to the body valley), but it also makes them dirt and bedbug proof. And if you put it under a mattress pad, you won’t even know it’s there. They aren’t like the thick noisy plastic of days gone by. If it’s directly under sheets you might hear it, but they are not particularly loud.

They are also dirt cheap; the last one I bought was $13 for a queen size, and as long as it doesn’t tear, it’ll last basically forever. It rarely even needs to be washed. Small price to pay to keep my mattress a bit nicer a bit longer, even though it won’t make it last forever. :)

“Up to” in terms of anything. Up to inherently also contains zero.

I feel exactly the same way about “a fraction of” especially when it’s “a fraction of the price”, because 99/100 is a fraction, as is 100/100.

This is privileged tantrum-having.

My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.

My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.

Usually both, in my experience.

You’ll have fans for plants that firm up stems and stuff, in addition to helping with transpiration.

Then you’ll have fans or passive vents near the highest point that move air outside, usually for the sake of venting excess heat and humidity. If you live somewhere cold, these probably stay closed through colder times and are active/open only during the height of summer (these are often the passive vents). If you live somewhere warm, it’ll probably always be active fan-driven, and usually running.

A lot of people have their ventilation system hooked to climate control sensors, so it only engages when it crosses a certain threshold.

I was honestly ready to whine about the timing and this not making sense… but no, turns out my timeline, despite being based on books that were supposed to be well-researched, was way off. And indeed the first chatter about mobile phones was around 1908. Til.

Have some Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones

Fluffy pants are beautiful thank you.

The floor definitely gives you a new perspective.

To be clear, those are usually for any handicap, as they are outfitted with wheelchair access and usually have extra adults riding along to help.

They are (or at least were in my area at that time) much more comfortable, similar to public transit busses. I got to ride along with a friend with a muscular problem on one a few times in the late 90s early noughties and it was lux.

If they were all the same size, perhaps amputee?

Or maybe a really specific fetish.

Maybe both.

Quite possibly a question best left unanswered, at least until you no longer live there

Oh fuck that would suck -hard-.

Brown is how you get red leaf plants. Brown is just red and green mixed after all, so you take out the green for other stuff the plant needs and are left with red.

It’s all totally on the up and up.

Thank you, genuinely, for that resource. I love you passionately for it.

Thanks!

Despite being just south of Canada, I’ve never seen that stuff afaik. Then again it says dry areas and I’m in the wettest; Great Lakes region.

Bullshit.

Bezos can’t cut his own hair. He can’t see that far up his own ass even with all the mirrors in the world.

He probably spends more to be bald than it would cost to get all new hair.

What’s the red stuff? It doesn’t really look like wild sumac, and I feel it’s a bit early for that anyway but I might be wrong.:

There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.

That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.

If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so…

So you are telling me I should have stayed up until 6:05AM, rather than going to bed when I physically couldn’t handle doomscrolling anymore at 6:04?

Why wasn’t there anything good in the prior 12-24 hrs? What kind of casino is this, to not give me even a teeny tiny dopamine hit to keep me coming back?

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?
