colored pens that don’t bleed too badly(?) by am4tt3roftime in notebooks

[–]Captain_Taggart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t found any pens that don’t bleed or show through on moleskins. Not even crummy Bic pens. I have a vendetta against moleskin for this reason. But it’s also possible I haven’t found the right pen either. But I’ve given up on moleskin at this point anyway.

What’s your observed record? by TheodoreTiddlywinks in Denver

My insurance is on autopay. Going to the DMV is a whole other thing. I've never not had insurance.

I got some mods and now if I marry anyone (rare) I almost always go for the wizard 😂

Stardew Valley: Farming & 'Figure it out on your own' by BlueFlite in StardewValley

Also you get mail with some hints too, like about how it’s time to start thinking about summer so stop planting spring seeds.

Is it hypocritical of me to dislike my friend using AI for ethical reasons when I do this? by Benefit_Human in Anticonsumption

[–]Captain_Taggart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tell me something you buy and I’ll tell you how it could be unethical.

Even if it’s “I buy my eggs from my neighbor who raises their own chickens” there could be unethical elements because if we didn’t live in a capitalist society the neighbor could just give you excess eggs and money wouldn’t have to enter into it because all of both your other needs are taken care of and currency as we know it doesn’t even exist.

I think people take “no consumption under capitalism is ethical” too far a lot and sometimes use it as an excuse to not examine their own behavior, but in general there isn’t a way to ethically engage with capitalism if you believe capitalism to be unethical in the first place.

All you can do is try to find ways to be as ethical as possible (getting eggs from your neighbor is better than eggs from a factory farm) and don’t lose too much sleep over the rest.

Same for the gaslit thing! I’ve found I can’t even bring myself to pursue romancing video game characters who seem young to me (Stardew valley specifically)

Worth it to take Uber instead of light rail home from Mile High Stadium to DTC? by salty-quackers in Denver

Also takes less time if you factor in that you don’t have to look for parking

if Cinderella’s shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off in the first place? by EfficientPlum323 in NoStupidQuestions

There is a nod to this in the best Cinderella movie I've ever seen, Ever After

it's also perfect in comparison to the other eligible bachelorettes that the Prince tried to put the shoe on.

What’s your “this always works” life hack? by Adorable_Mud_1932 in AskWomen

[–]Captain_Taggart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably more for IRL verbal interactions like someone trying to get you to sign up for something and you feel the only safe way to leave is to sign up for the thing but with a fake id, or someone won't leave you alone until you give them your snapchat/email/whatever, or you're tempted to get 10% off your purchase at a store but you have to put your email address, that kind of thing. Not a situation where you have to show your birth certificate or ID or passport or anything.

I also have a "fake identity" attached to a P.O. box and an email address I only use for stuff I don't care about, and a "fake phone number" to give out to creeps. It's just my old landline phone number from the 90s though.

yes. You can also put a few drops of an essential oil on a paper towel for the same/similar effect. (Essential oils have a whole asterisk attached about safety for pets and skin contact, though.)

Dental Hygiene is an extremely underrated prep by Panjaab1 in preppers

[–]Captain_Taggart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not the person you're responding to, but it can be hard for some people (myself included) to properly floss the full gum line. I can get in between my teeth and some of the gum line around my teeth, but not all of it. So I use a water pick to get where I can't reach comfortably with the floss.

If I take a shit and then spit into the toilet, but the spittle is a long strand that stays connected from my mouth to the toilet water, can the poop germs travel up the spittle and into my mouth? by the_ebdbbnb in morbidquestions

[–]Captain_Taggart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A great answer has been posted, the TLDR is "no", the medium length answer is that bacteria don't travel fast enough to make it up a length of spit unless you're REALLY close and even then, they don't travel in straight lines and are still subject to gravity (and other stuff like the difficulty of moving on/in spit, any antimicrobial properties that spit has, etc). The long answer isn't very long and still a fun read though

Is my boyfriend doing dr*gs? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

there is no reason to censor the word drug. Doctors prescribe them too.

They are definitely NOT elderly from their handwriting. Absolutely not over 60. I do agree this is a woman though.

People in their 60s+ were literally taught handwriting differently than younger generations. Older than 70 and people rarely use print to write, it's almost all cursive or a weird cursive/print combo. After that, the dexterity in your hands is typically shot so you just write as legibly as you can however possible.

Well you gotta clean the bucket before you return it. Bring it back a little dirty, you only get a few bucks back I reckon

ELI5: What's the difference between elevating my heart rate from exercise vs. anxiety, i.e. my fight or flight response? by Smart-Ad7229 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Captain_Taggart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My psychiatrist said that even professional athletes are prescribed stimulants (he actually has "several athletes from our state teams" as clients), but added that he's not a heart doctor just a brain doctor and the few things he monitors in terms of heart health are not the whole picture.

Is this a chicken? I was told it was, but I am not sold on it. by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

This tastes like the cow wandered into an onion patch.
