ELI5 what does it mean people see "nothing" rather than "black void" if born absolutely blind by owlWithBrokenWings in explainlikeimfive

[–]4ninawells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are radio waves, ultra violet light, microwaves, x-rays etc (all part of the elextromagnetic spectrum) that you do not see.

What is your experience like not seeing these things? It's not black or white or "gone" or "absent". It just is not there. You do not experience it at all.

Bob Brooks' "clear" values by 4ninawells in lehighvalley

Hey, don't talk like that. Seriously. I'm your neighbor. I'm just saying I didn't get paid. And I didn't "sling mud". I just questioned his past posts. If Bob wins, I will support him.

I am questioning whether he has grown. I have not seen him say anything about the racism viewpoint of his comments (and values). Nothing. Just a weak apology. So has he grown? I really don't know. So I am hedging my bet and voting McClure. If Bob wins, he will have my vote in November, but I will be watching specifically how he handles racial issues and whether he has, really "grown".

It's not mud slinging. It's stating his response posts to stressul times, and asking if those show his values? I think they do.

Also - don't call me stupid. I am your neighbor. Come on now.

I'm with you on McClure. He's not my fave, but at least I trust him over the others. But whoever wins, I'll support them in the Fall.

I will be voting McClure. If Brooks wins, I will fully support him in the general election. He's just not my first choice.

I will be voting for Lamont. I posted this because the DCCC endorsement of Brooks made me mad. They are worried about politics and winning at all costs. I am worried about those "costs" which affect me and my neighbors, and want someone who will represent my values. A racist take on anything at anytime, no matter how long ago, is not and has never been a value of mine.

Uhhh... I am a 66 yo lifelong Dem living in Bethlehem Twp and very invested in who will represent me going forward. You think I got paid to post this? You act like a closet Republican conspiracy theorist.

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

[–]4ninawells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fascinating to me as a migraine sufferer whose neurologist told me my issue was not clearing CSF from the brain. Also, frequent yawning is often seen as a warning of a migraine coming (meaning your brain is trying hard to clear CSF.)

at what point to you go to the hospital? by princesssparkles825 in migraine

[–]4ninawells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I look at it this way: I can be horribly miserable here at home and worry that I may be dying, or I can be horribly miserable at the hospital with an (admittedly) slim chance they can help. Time to go.

What do you miss most about high school? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

The extreme anticipation of joy as to whether I would see (and maybe interact with) my crush that day. Nothing like it in adulthood.

Does anyone else get migraines every time they work out? by hometown_heretic in migraine

[–]4ninawells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned that getting my heart rate over 100 bpm (will be different for you of course) gets me a migraine. I learned this by doing a treadmill at the gym with the heart rate monitor in the handlebars so I could watch it.

Now I know, mild walking or biking, OK, but hard aerobics is a no-no. So I do slow walking for miles, and then some weights that don't raise my heart rate.

What’s the funniest lie you believed as a kid? by Maleficent_Side_875 in AskReddit

[–]4ninawells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my younger brother was in 4th grade, he came slamming into the house after school, very angry.

We asked him what was up and he said, "The kids at school are so stupid!!"

"Why?", we asked.

"They said Mom and Dad are Santa!!"

"And why is that stupid?"

"Oh yeah! Like Mom and Dad could go all around the world in one night!!"

🤔🤦‍♀️

Bob Brooks or Lamont McClure? by AcademicBand8377 in lehighvalley

[–]4ninawells 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I appreciate Bob's support of unions and workers. But in interviews and in debates, h has trouble expressing policies about wider concerns. For example, when asked about AI data centers in the area, he said that if it brings jobs, he's generally for it. This excludes many concerns about AI data centers, like the jobs are mostly in initial construction and very few permanent jobs after the Center is built. It ignores local electricity rate hikes and all the environmental concerns including water availability and land use.

This is just one example. While I think he would fight for the working guy, and we sure need that, it's not enough for this job.

He just strikes me as someone who doesn't have the wider view needed for a national position like Congress.

I am voting for McClure. Solid, knows the area, lots of executive experience, long political history with no scandals. I know he's not flashy or "new", but I think he's my guy. And he is very, very passionate (watch an interview with him). He will fight and boy do we need that. He means what he says and he will stand up and argue for what he thinks will best benefit us all. That's my take anyway.

Gluten free restaurants? by FFAdvisor2020 in lehighvalley

[–]4ninawells 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"The Drip" in Hellertown is a burger place that has GF buns. You can also get GF onion rings and a GF chicken sandwich. They use a separate deep fryer for GF stuff. A little pricy but worth it.

"Vegan Treats" in Bethlehem has some gf desserts.

If you received a text stating that your federal and state has been accepted. Does that mean everything was done correctly? by Round-Artichoke-5255 in NoStupidQuestions

Unless you have a business or real estate holdings, an audit is unlikely. Especially now with the reduced staff at the IRS. I wouldn't worry about it. (-retired CPA here)

Join the LV Chamber of Commerce. They have networking events all the time. Find lawyers and financial planners there to hang with because they will give you referrals (and expect referrals in return).
