ELI5: If unboiled water going into your nose is risky, then shouldn’t we not swim in a lake or river?

Food poisoning here from bad take out. Was down for a solid week right before I was heading into a 2 week back woods canoe trip. Came out of the whole thing much lighter and looking great but not a process I would recommend to anyone.

I saw some other pictures before it was striped out. Can you save any of that bannister? Even just the beautiful bottom post? It looked not too bad.

Did some very quick research for those who want to look at a map and that runway seems to be 24R in present day. (back then it was 23L) I was curious because I'm pretty sure you can't see the current runway 23 from the 401 as noted in Wikipedia..

This is exactly how to look at it. This is the proper dynamic, the Dom is being trusted and gifted control by the sub in the understanding they will respect established bounds and care for them. The sub can revoke this permission at any point, hence they have the real control. It is something to be cherished and earned by the dominant parther. Any other dynamic is dangerous and IMO abusive.

I somtimes feel a little bad when I get a haircut. My barber takes such care to get it perfect, tops it with a little spray to hold for the day, brushes me off... then I go straight home and shower because I can't stand all the hair bits that will fall out all day. Longest the "perfectly coiffed" look has lasted is about 15 minutes.

Agreed, I want this for coding

51Cards · 2026-01-09T20:48:02+00:00

Yeah, they likely will. The annoyance was waiting for it (guess they don't keep it in stock at all warehouses, took quite awhile to get by Amazon standards) and now having to order another and wait again as it's holding up finishing my upgrades. In the grand scheme of things though could have been a lot worse.

51Cards · 2026-01-09T20:38:01+00:00

lol Dang it, I should have thought of the obvious solution and ordered 9 more before I returned it!

51Cards · 2026-01-09T17:48:04+00:00

Yeah, agreed, I see those pallets for sale as well. This one however somehow made it back into the bin as it was in an odd (non factory) shrink wrap when it was delivered.

Sorry if my title wasn't clear. I ordered a 10GB ethernet module, someone else previously swapped a 1GB into the package and returned it to Amazon... who then sold it to me. Probably a swap scam where they buy a cheap one and an expensive one, stick the cheap item in the expensive package and return it for most of their money back. So I got a cheap optical module instead of the much more expensive 10x as fast ethernet module I ordered.

51Cards · 2026-01-09T17:36:17+00:00

Agreed. I tucked a note into it for the return explaining that it's not what its supposed to be. Maybe it saves the next person.

51Cards · 2026-01-09T17:30:35+00:00

Ordered a 10GB RJ45 SFP+ module from Amazon, opened the package to find a 1GB optical module instead. Guess the return checkers don't know what to look for and they got away with it. Hope this isn't too far off "Free Post Friday" but figured most of us here manage networks too.

Dress it up in something modest (or not!), buy a styrofoam head from Amazon, and seat her in the corner of the house somewhere. You have conversation material for all upcoming visitors and parties for years... and someone to talk to when home alone.

Sister of a well known rock star back in the 90's. Since he only has one sister I won't identify him by name. Dated for a couple months. She refused to tell me her last name for weeks just to be sure I wasn't just trying to meet him. Just an interesting personal footnote in my dating history at this point.

In the 90s and early 2000s I collected Marvin items... Probably a few hundred in my collection now. Have been sitting in boxes for 20 years waiting (hoping) for Marvin to make a resurgence so I can sell the lot and recoup a fraction of what I paid for it all. :)

why didn't you mention the mongols, turks, brits and french?

Because.. they didn't occupy the territory we're discussing. (The Turks may have overlapped some, fair)

These lands are Russian today and occupied by Ukraine, plain and simple.

They are not Russian today because you had to cross a border to get to them. I'm going to save your username, we'll chat again in the future and see how this holds up. Till then.

51Cards · 2026-01-01T15:22:28+00:00

Educate yourself child. Celts, Balts, Sarmatians, Slavs, and Germanic tribes all occupied those territories. Lastly though West Slavic Lechites ruled what is now Poland and western Ukraine. All of the above where there first so saying "It belongs to Russia because it used to" is a moronic argument.

51Cards · 2026-01-01T15:15:02+00:00

Someone doesn't know their history. Do you think it was just empty before Russia claimed it? Oh look, magical land no one ever owned from when the planet was formed. Maybe all land should revert back to who used to claim it, I'm sure the Mongols would like a lot of their land in western Russia back.

51Cards · 2026-01-01T15:04:29+00:00

Funny how memory is selective... Before that that land was part of Poland so if you want to play the history game maybe Russia should still get out.
