Every time somebody like this pops up, it's a great reminder that you can block people and you should block people.

You don't need to explain to this moron why he's a moron.

I used to use a boot CD with a password eraser. I think the last time I used it was win 7 though

Trying to decide the best french fry is like trying to pick up different pieces of shit in the off-leash dog park and try to pick which one smells best. They're all still crap.

There are people who understand and appreciate good steak, and you're the guy arguing that we are wrong because we just haven't had the right ground beef.

What people don't want to know is that you need to block as many communities and people as you possibly can in your first couple days here.

This place is jackass city, let's get that straight.

Borax as insect repellant/ murderer.

Every apartment block has roaches, I'm not naive. But to get rid of the ones in mine I put a teaspoon of borax near the dishwasher kick plate and blew it under with compressed air. Sprinkled some around the perimeter of the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink.

Have not seen a roach in 10 months.

Edit: don't try to bait food with borax, they won't eat it, just get it on the walking paths. You want them tracking it into the hive where they all clean it up like cats and die because to an insect it's like eating knives.

I actually don't think it's possible to forget. In the sense that pattern recognition and chain-of-event are thought structures baked into our very beings. We don't intuit that most things are random in a greater sense, and probabilistic on a finer resolution. We're always looking for self-satisfying, singular paths of causality and they don't exist.

Touch red hot metal burn skin; Stab self in face make self not alive. A necessary abbreviated thought structure essential to human survival.

Extend that perspective to eat ween get beetus. Wait.

What is the field of nutritional epidemiology hoping to accomplish by obsessively searching for links (their magic word) between disease and dietary intake? It assumes, by the very nature of the question, that there is a direct causal relationship between diet & illness. There can't be. Any sufficiently complicated system of interrelationships is going to have massive amounts of turbulence and chaos!

abstractive

 

I don't know what else to say to describe this beyond Title.

Sometimes they hide, sometimes they come back. There is no apparent pattern to this.

If it is a network issue, can Boost please implement a queue and reattempt failed API calls?

 

The moderator told me questions like this aren't stupid and they're the point of this community.

I want an answer.

 

I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap

I can drink pot after pot of espresso every day (i love the taste and comforting warmth) yet if I travel or "miss" my morning coffee it changes nothing about how I feel or my energy level. No cravings ever.

I kind of would like to get the zap of a good caffeine buzz. It sounds like some kind of amazing out-of-body nervous energy

When I was a kid my friends used to love this stuff called "Jolt Cola" that was marketed as having "All the sugar, and twice the caffeine" of regular soda (lol)... I drank can after can of it and never clued into why I thought it was just regular soda, and my friends were going cuckoo berserk on it

It's a weird superpower. I'm also immune to codeine and similar, which I've come to understand are similar molecules... so it seems to explain something to me. I didn't figure any of this out until my mid 30's. Post-dental surgery, emergency visits and similar was always a huge battle because they'd think I was lying when I said the painkillers weren't working, assuming I was drug-seeking

Just talking

 

I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?

 

They were both in their early 80s and had been together long enough they decided to move in together.

She had 5 huge framed paintings (prints) that no longer had walls to hang upon, and she wanted me to have them. All 5 of them.

Gigantic shitty prints with ostentatious gold-painted frames, featuring rose vases and fruit baskets and the like.

I think we are all familiar with this kind of "old lady" art. It was popular among the same clientele who would purchase ugly mass produced china to keep and not use. Basically department store rubbish of their day.

It was completely okay that she offered them to me.

It was not fine that she would not take "no thank you" for an answer and kept on pressing.

It was not fine when she would not accept my answers of "I do not like them" and "I do not want them" and "they are ugly" and "if you insist on giving them away, give them to a thrift store".

It didn't feel particularly pleasant to me when she acted as though she was doing me a great favor, and insinuated I was being ungrateful by not appreciating their inherent value.

Finally I cracked and said okay I will take one of the paintings, may I have that big rose painting at the front?

Yes.

It becomes my property, you won't ask for it back?

Yes it's yours!

I picked up the painting and out the front door I went. I leaned the painting up against the elm tree on the boulevard at a 45 degree angle and proceeded to kick a hole right in the center.

I went back and said do you still want to give me those other paintings?

Later that week when I was taking gramps out for lunch he told me that it was one of the funniest things ever, and he completely agreed that it was the right thing to do given how absurd her insistence had gotten. He also said he was made to suffer for my actions though lol - although he really did not lay any blame at my feet, he let the punishment roll off his back like he always did, good guy!

I would of course never behave that way now that I'm an older man. I would just more insistently say that I'm not going to take them under any circumstances.

I was inspired to tell this story based on something I read in another thread. People were delighted to tell their mom they're just going to throw her china in the garbage and relating how mom was freaking out, and they were relishing it!
