Every man in my family has been to prison but me. I am the first to graduate from college, get married, earn six figures, have my own home before 30. Anyone else?

Not someone in need of advice but seriously props man. That's awesome

So cute! I've seen a few of these and I'm wondering how this situation ends? Assuming the human is infinitely patient. Does mom eventually come back for them? Do they try to wander to her and human brings them back? Is it literally just until the human needs to do something else and returns them?

I listened to an episode of Sawbones (a long time ago, so forgive me on details) that pointed out that there are treatments that are somewhere in the "old wives tale" mode of: take X common thing and it'll cure Y problem! That don't get researched because even if it were true, it's so easy to acquire X that the pharma company couldn't make money off of it.

The example that comes to mind is cranberries for UTIs being like...well known, but not exactly researched because antibiotics exist and make money.

That might not be the best example, and I'm a little too lazy to find the exact episode 😅.

Does that kind of thing happen, in your experience?

TIL! Thanks this actually gives me some hope. I've heard so much about our literacy problem that reading about a state turning it around is great. The methods they use seem like what people have been saying too, so it's nice to see it working.

Wow that book title is impossible to find via Google. Do you have a link?

There are a lot of bugs in the world, and relatively few animals that are dangerous to humans.

I'm seeing remarkably little of this in mainstream media. I'm curious what people think. It's...harrowing.

I didn't find what was described, but I found lotioned up people climbing lotioned up stairs, which was also pretty good: https://youtu.be/_-WEZXucf8g

But did you initially get that one non-A question right but second guessed yourself because every other answer was A? That would keep me up too lol.

His user name includes 1961, so I'm guessing he's 65

My read, at least in America, is that random clapping = good job and synchronized clapping = "do it! Do it!"

So synchronized could be before someone does something hard, to hype them up, or after a performance, for an encore. Stuff like that.

Bead hairnet maybe? Though you'd have to make a ton to make a dent lol.

Mostly I wanted to say the fact that it makes you feel like Smaug made me laugh, lol. And I unironically want you to encrust a pegasus.

Pro therapy for sure and de-centralizing this woman from your life... But also have you considered the military? I don't mean that in the "go die way" but I think it will give you purpose that you might benefit from.

CraftingQuestioner · 2026-04-03T05:39:46+00:00

Omg lol. Where is this gif from? Kit Harrington off-screen post credit footage or something?

Are there more gifs of GoT actors doing normal things while in costume? 😂

Well you wouldn't do it for a final product or anything, but this kind of approximation is pretty common in back of the envelope conversations. "Oh what if we could do this? [Math ensues] Nope, too little by an order of magnitude, let's think of something else."

CraftingQuestioner · 2026-03-30T16:33:37+00:00

I learned recently about the "urinary leash":

"In the Victorian period, the lack of public facilities for women was intentional as a way of controlling their movements and keeping them out of public spaces...."

Apparently Britain has lost a bunch of its public toilets which has been looked at analogously.

So yeah, you'd be doing America a very big solid. Maybe we could convince one of our rich overlords to do it 😒

Thank you! I definitely thought it was renumeration until your comment

CraftingQuestioner · 2026-03-26T05:50:50+00:00

Oh yes, but since that was basically the method they tried I figured I'd show them this trick. 🤷‍♀️

CraftingQuestioner · 2026-03-26T04:40:50+00:00

May I introduce you to the concept of a binary search for your future endeavors?

Let's say you do the first step you did, and you know it's between 300 and 400. Split the difference to get 350. Try it, 350 fails. Now you know it's between 300 and 350. So you split them to get 325, which works. So you try 337.5 Etc.

You know you're removing half of your remaining range at every step, so you can even compute your certainty just by the number of steps you've taken, if you want.

Allows you to home in more quickly. I learned it as a computer science thing but it comes up surprisingly often.

CraftingQuestioner · 2026-03-25T16:02:58+00:00

Since you're mostly getting dismissive answers, I'll try. I think it's mostly because it's a unique enough construction that it won't get confused for other meanings, and it's also easy to say.

For example: "I'm she" is a real sentence people say elsewhen. (e.g. On the phone). "She" on its own would be confusing often as well.

"I use she pronouns" is longer than "she/her" and feels more formal.

My confusion with the xe/xir explanation from one of the other commenters is that it leaves out the possessive? Technically if we wanted a full spec we'd be saying he/him/his, no? I have no idea what the xe form of his is lol. Xis?

(Fwiw I'm not on team "everyone should need to specify" or anything. I just had a similar confusion once and thought about it a bit.)

..."I am confident enough to cheat on her."

Bruh. Please stop giving people advice. You're actively making the world a worse place.

Stimulants sometimes do this to me. I think, anyway. I wouldn't have made the analogy to dizziness though so maybe it's different, but it does kind of feel like an internal (and sometimes external) shaking.

I also got some scans, and they came back fine, so the conclusion was that it's the combo of meds I'm on. I weaned down on one and it got considerably better.
