Q-tips suck at cleaning ear canals. All they do is push the damn ear wax further up inside, worsening my already bad tendency to get impacted wax in the first place. I can only imagine that people who use q-tips to clean have these cavernous canals that make family guy's ear-sex joke actually possible.
It's why I use those meant-for-glasses tiny screwdrivers.
Didn't they add the option to make games private because people made this complaint? The issue now is on family accounts and not seeing it, because there you still can. I don't need to know what my family is into, thank you very much.
This is classic republican style speech/base-rousing. '[insert city/state/region/country here] is terrible, it was once so much better, but now it's horrible. It's not you [insert crowd euphemism here] here, it's all those damn [insert boogeyman euphemism of choice here] coming in and ruining things! We've gotta take back the city/state/region/country!'
It's exactly what old what's-his-face did with the Haitians and dogs, the 'illegal' settlement in Texas, etc. Trump and his team are just so stupid because they take it so far that even the republican politicians in those areas look at them with stupefied expressions and correct the record.
The situation is infuriating. It's a fact that the people responsible for stirring up the fools will never see consequences for their actions. This stochastic terrorism shit needs to be acted against.
And just like most wars, it was bullshit that it was fought in the first place and the largest source of casualties was innocents.
Learning to swim in a pool with a shallow end isn't too difficult for an adult. Just don't pay attention to assholes or give up because it doesn't come naturally.
Watch a video or two to learn the motions (breast stroke is easiest, but freestyle or side crawls are also good to start with), then just get in the pool (shallow end, please). Start by crouching down to the level of your mouth, and breathing through your nose. Become comfortable with water near your mouth.
Then dip your nose into the water and blow out through it at the same time (blowing bubbles). You'll quickly get the hang of holding pressure in your airways so that water doesn't enter when you dive below the surface. Once you get to that point, start laying face down in the water. You don't even have to be stiff, or try to swim, just get used to having your back towards the sky. Finally, after the 20 minutes this will probably take you, start trying to mimic the motions on the videos you watched. Again, ignore the feeling that you suck at this, because everyone sucks at it when starting. You're just an adult, so you realize how bad you are at the beginning, just like when learning a new instrument. With an hour or so of attempts, you'll have a pretty good idea of how to move around the pool.
Maybe I'm just grumpy, but by the time the potatoes are finger-licking good, you'll be quite unalive. Even if the potatoes were boiling first before you went in, you're still going to have an impossible time not screaming and flailing as you suffer third degree burns in fractions of a second.
Red is also less 'damaging' to your night vision. https://www.nps.gov/articles/dark-adaptation-of-the-human-eye-and-the-value-of-red-flashlights.htm
can do whatever because of the supreme court
No he can't, because he's biden/democrat. The supreme court made it particularly clear that they get to be the arbiters of what is allowed. They are going to allow everything if the president is republican, and deny everything otherwise.
I'm just positing here, but maaaaaybe she doesn't want to open the can of worms with spells targeting external hair.
I know of some individuals who have been sitting in jail, waiting for a trial, for longer than the maximum sentence they could have been given. If you are poor and/or live in a shitty area, your 'rights' don't always mean all that much.
You forgot Houston, the blue spot that their politicians are trying to remove the vote from. Literally. It's horrendous.
It seems like a bad idea to track where traffic is coming from when a person is signing up to vote. We know the sort of opponent in this endeavor, why give them the ability to start determining who might have papers or information get accidentally lost in the application process?
It's not just GM, either. My insurance app, and the apps of two other insurance companies that I know of, do the same with night driving. I would get off of work and drive home, just to see the driving score get lowered. Twas bullshit.
Another article says that federal law prohibits the actions the staff were, at that time, attempting to carry out. I would hope that a federal employee can enforce federal law.
If someone pulls out a knife on you, do the same.
I know what you mean here, but the phrasing is hilarious out of context.
Different places have different ways of doing things. One of the recent online courses I saw was step by step, and each step opened as soon as you finished the first.
Once everything is online - the assignments, the test, the proctors watching you take the test, the grading for the test being automatic - it's no longer as important for those places to schedule everything exactly. It's also incredibly different in the experience, because the chance of an actual professor teaching is incredibly slim. They have you just reading the textbook and being referred to youtube videos.
High capacity could mean a completely typical magazine to every person who actually uses said gun, depending on the reporter.
One of those throwaway lines that still make me grin.
Lol, sad to hear. Usually staff members get to the school waaaay before any student does, so they probably scarfed it all.
doctor or nurse is swearing at me by now
The people who interact with patients think you're great. Give people some info and make it easy to understand. It's the Ph.D. fella who did his thesis on cellular signaling focusing on nociceptor differences in distal/medial loci.

You might not even get a public defender. Is an expired license at the same level as a speeding ticket in your area? If so, your government might only assign public defenders to 'criminal' charges with potential jail times. Just be aware of that before you start desperately trying to find one that doesn't 'exist.'
My hearing is already going, so there can't be too much to target. Besides, internal hair (betting a lot of cysts being caused) sounds like a good target for all the wizards who have perfected the mend spell on organic matter.
I use odysee, and so far it's been nice.
The Texas state government’s path forward here is to do what they can to pedestrianize and densify their cities, but that’s a long term project.
I know you probably didn't mean it as them actually doing it, but good lord, that statement made me laugh. The governments in texas are so focused on bullshit that increases the problem. A friend just sent me an article his city put out with the headline "YY city is XX% developed, with plans to finish it out by year 20ZZ!" Their "finish it out" means removing 95% of the remaining greenspace and paving it with concrete businesses that have just enough plants to be aesthetically pleasing when the landscaper crew cuts it.
Shit, texas is literally trying to make "one more lane!" a constant thing. When I had to drive through any of their big cities, it's just a massive construction sprawl, because as soon as they finish one section's extra lane, they start on the next section.
I wish that the criminal laws against violating someone's civil rights would get applied in these situations. The mere potential of a (way) post hoc punishment from a civil trial is too small punishment for first amendment violations. Those laws exist to give teeth against police officers violating rights (even if they're rarely used), and should be used to go after the politicians who direct these actions. In order to not punish poor Greta who just works at the office handling these though, they should be automatically applied to the highest level that signed off on it, and whoever wrote the policy/procedure that is carried out. That will create a daisy chain effect where each person asks their supervisor for approval, and will eventually snowball desantis right onto his face (or desk).
I wish I didn't have to get up until 6am. Some of us had... shudder
0500 hours start times
Which is great for wearing your boyfriend's hoodies, but is slightly more problematic when dealing with geopolitical scales and, you know, countries giving you weapons that you absolutely need to not be steamrolled by an invading force.
Texas is pretty dang purple. As others have mentioned, there is some serious voter suppression that goes on. Just take a look at that crazy law that targeted (basically, only) the county that Houston is in, allowing the state administration to throw out their votes.
To the first, yep, it definitely won't work. It's too bad we know the addresses of the actual assholes doing all this, but (nearly) all protesting is carried out in... some other stratosphere of the vicinity.
As for the second? Yup. I've got three dependents to take care of and various other people who I help out. There's no way I can contemplate letting them all suffer if something happened to my income. We're wage slaves.
From a fictional novel, maybe a thriller or a horror, I could see it. If the nebulous they that is acting against the protagonist takes out the protagonist's side-kick, it would make sense the plan is to then come after the protagonist. If he wasn't republican, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a big reader of fiction. I would expect a man to be as deep into fictional novels as he is into couches. They make great places to read.
You forgot the 'lots' portion. It was not a small amount of liquid.
Texas isn't a small state, population wise. If the rate rose dramatically (55%) for Texas, and similar rates occurred in other abortion banning states, that would likely account for the 11%.
Anyway, more to the point than just that, the people who care about that nationwide growth already care and are clamoring about it. They've been clamoring about it since Roe v Wade was overturned. The other half of the equation could care less about women, and the rising rate is probably making them smile.
We tried to put on a movie or another show exactly twice and it promptly got switched back.
That's the irritating part for me. Every time I visit a certain segment of the family, it's as if I was stepping into 1984 with the big brother screens, except that they must be on all the time. I was forced into it during the missing MH370 news. They blatantly, incessantly push fear, and it hooks the idiots into believing if they aren't watching 24/7 that they're going to miss the apocalypse.
Hocus Pocus is classic 90s comedy/super-light horror. It's gooooood.
edit: and OP says in another comment that they want to avoid it. Noooooo! ...I get the sentiment, but noooooo!
Your math is off. You said one million per day, but your 1/10 of a billion would have it as one million per year
Aye, it's all about what theme you're exploring or mood that's being set. We don't have batman exploding into mist when he fights people who can lift planes/cruise ships with their bare hands, because that's not the story being told. When the theme is about the consequences of powers, rather than the escapism and being good (the 'super' part of superman being his morals and convictions), we get the boys and their (gory) explosions.
Having been involved in a conversation about this sort of family dynamic with police, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless OP is in a gigantic city, he is not going to receive any help from the police that actually protects him. What will happen is the police will listen to his story, then go talk to the other parties involved to get their story.
If an officer believes him right off the bat, they can/may hold off on talking to the rest of the family and tipping them off that OP is making these claims, but even in that case OP still may be stuck in the house. They might be able to connect him to a shelter. Might. The problem is that he is male. Male domestic violence shelters are almost certainly going to be a shit-show at best, and 95% chance there isn't a shelter for males of domestic violence within any distance that the cops would help him get to.
The best bet for OP that involves cops is to follow Chonk's advice: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/3089471/5115602
Use the cops for what they are actually good at: protecting you in the exact moment they are there. Anything else is going to be a time-consuming investigation, unless the brother/father literally admit to planning to kill OP.
