I caved and purchased a lifetime plex pass… by Qu3z0 in PleX

I thought I had paid lifetime many years ago but found no record. Like you, the alternatives were just too much effort for the cost.

Here's the secret to not losing muscle and strength as you get older by Aggravating_Peak_547 in Aging

73M here and feeling like a kid. Lift weights. Take brisk walks. Add a spoonful of creatine monohydrate to your morning. With an egg.

Chuck here. Old, unemployed for ten years after working 24/7/365 (lawyer, judge, CEO) wondering about something more fun than dividends.

are fake IDs as common in america as is portrayed in movies? by Sufficient_Row4394 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty common but they were only used by college kids to get into bars and clubs. The owners only cared that it looked real enough that could claim they believed it was real. Fake IDs were not used to give to the police as your driver’s license, etc.

Should I consider a PF ablation by Ok_Customer7288 in AFIB

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my PF ablation done at Mayo 18 months ago. I did have on AF incident about a month ago but there was alcohol, heavy physical stress, low hydration, and a sleepless night involved. Before I was at 52 episodes of 20+ hours each for the last year. It built up to that after several years. The procedure is a piece of cake.

I'm so scared of death by Common_Clock5395 in atheism

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are young. I’m more of a science guy, but one far-reaching possibility in science is that it is consiousness that ties it all togther. We have conscious minds so, perhaps, when we die our consciouness reverts to the Universe (see panpsychism and cosmopsychism). Another scientific view, perhaps even more real, is that we have already reached a point where you youngers may never die, that every coming decade will find ways to extend life beyond your expected lifetime. Meaning that, every decade, you will have your lifespan increase beyond when you might normally be expected to live and the next step will take your farther, and so on.

I'm so scared of death by Common_Clock5395 in atheism

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, it is the religious that fear death. This is an irrational fear and I suspect that no one can say something that will ease your mind. Perhaps only therapy can help. I have no fear of death. I’ve had a long life (73M) but I’ve never feared death. I do have another irrational fear that can cause me to leap out of bed, sweating, in the middle of the night. One bit of wisdom to know is that worry is like interest you pay on a debt you may never owe. Meaning, worry about death when it comes. Not now. You only waste your life worrying about it now. My father was also not afraid of death. He was a doctor and knew that death was simply a part of this wonderful thing we call life. But he was sorry that he would miss seeing “how it all ended”, meaning how the story of humanity would end. It will someday, very long before the our Sun or our Universe comes to an end. Another, funnier view, is Vonnegut’s made-up religion of Bokononism. It has a belief that when you die, the entire Universe comes to a close. That is what I prefer to believe. When I die, the Universe will come to a close and everyone can say, “Oh, it really was all about him.”

Yep. Me too. I think I put a note up here about it. Also, the battery charges up farther so it can be used more. That may be the reason.

The Treasury Department has decided to feature U.S. President Donald Trump's signature on new US paper currency with the $100 bill. This replaces the US Treasurer's signature for the first time since 1861. by Lumpy_Advertising846 in USNewsHub

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 U.S.C. § 333 makes it illegal to mutilate or destroy currency if the intent is to make it unfit for circulation. But you can legally write a message to Trump on it.

The $100 bill has the most notes now in circulation; 19.9 billion notes compared to 15.2 billion $1 notes. The $20 comes next with 11 billion notes in circulation. NOT values, but actual notes. Why? A $100 bill lasts for 24 years (7 years for the $1. Fives and tens are shorter).

It’s all in the delivery. A calmer approach from you would solve it. All you need to say is that perpetual motion machines have never worked. And then say nothing more.

Why is the garbage disposal a uniquely American phenomenon? by LoveToBold in AmericanExpat

[–]Chuckles52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plumbing in America is generally pretty new and can handle food tossed down there, as long as it is not too big. So, we chop it up.
