I once had one of these for literally like 3 weeks.

Since then, I’ve decided the solution is to floss more regularly in general. Not that flossing was able to get it out, but they don’t seem to get stuck in the first place. I think maybe having slightly inflamed gums from plaque around the base of the tooth is what left a gap enough for the corn thing to slot in.

It’s like the first rule of unmentionable club.

You make some good points, and there’s also thermal issues.

The whole reason the datacentres use so much water is cooling all those processors.

Rejecting heat in space is super hard because you’re ultimately relying only on radiation (not enough matter for conduction/convection), no matter how many heavy/expensive/complex/maintenance-needing cooling systems you use.

But at least if it was able to be done, the heat would be 'outside the environment ’ as it were. The idea of using earth’s seas to cool datacentres on top of everything else does not sound ideal…

And humid 😰

🤣 so true

What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…

I mean there’s condoms, and there’s not ejaculating inside women. If you don’t want the risk of being a father, those are things you can control.

Finally! Someone else who isn’t afraid to be the best kind of correct.

Depends a lot on how long the corpse had been there, and what state it’s in. My local 25 m x 6 Lane pool, I’d get in it with someone who just had a heart attack. Fresh corpse but shot, I’d have to play it by ear. Some post-apocalyptic scenario where the filtration system and everything has been offline for months and the whole place has turned into John Doe broth… probably pass…I mean there’d have to be a pretty good reason and a way to rinse off afterwards.

But then if it’s chilly the corpses don’t get nasty nearly so quickly…

If it helps, I can’t stop growing a thick bushy beard, but it gets itchy, and the individual hairs are so coarse it’s like steel wool. Rasps the skin off my lips if I’m a day late in trimming.

And now in my early 40s it’s growing out my nose and ears too (and I can see the first signs of those crazy eyebrow beards old men get). Sometimes a loose nose hair gets up between by nose and my throat, and it’s like flossing your sinuses with a cheese wire.

Ooh #firstworldproblems, it’s been a while!

I think if you add up your time frying stuff in a pan every meal compared to making a big pot of soup that’s like 8 or 10 portions, you’ll see the ‘break even’ point for time spent cooking happens quite soon. But I guess if the main thing you like to eat is crispy meat and you never really bother with vegetables much, then yeah, soup might not be for you, fair play.

What kind of meat do you like?

I would say soup can be one of the easiest if you let it be: literally just throwing shit in a pot with some water and let it cook as long as you want. Can’t accidentally burn it very easily (unless you use lentils), don’t have to chop things a certain dose/ shape, generally tastes decent with a bit of seasoning…

I mean I know you can go all out and make fancy soup with many stages and lots of work, but it doesn’t have to be like that… whatever 2/3 types of veg is cheap and available, some beans or lentils, stock cube + season to taste, boom.

Raw tomato is has the slight crunchy sensation and fresh mouthfeel of many raw fruits/veggies, and the flavours are mostly acidic, sweet and unami. I don’t know what else might set off your sensitivity issues, but I think some options might be pickles, or fresh cucumber slices dressed with nice vinegar. Or use a combination, like iceberg lettuce for crunch and some relish or chutney for flavour.

I think I’ve seen Gideon bibles in UK and Australian hotel rooms. They’re just there in the drawer, in case you want to read it. Not very in your face. Bit like the iron or the hairdryer.

OP, for context:

Are you brave or are you a coward?

Do you get pushed around or are you willing to defend those getting pushed if you know it’s wrong?

I ask because so many people are soft but not gentle. They demand peace but aren’t peaceful. I find them weak. So I want to know. Be honest.

UPDATE: I find it utterly pathetic that people can’t take real criticism. Like they are triggered over anything that needs to be said.

No, just literally there’s only really room up there for like 5 or 6, then you always get that unmistakable feeling… Don’t worry, you’ll definitely recognise it when you get there, so you can safely just keep going until then.

I’m guessing cloud?
