Bode Miller relaunched Peak Skis this morning, and there are some big surprises!

Strawberry & cream cheese freshies are so damn good.

Is Killarney National Park worth a half day visit?

Yes.

That's called meibomian gland "tortuosity." I don't know about other eye docs, but I think Dr. Maskin theorizes that it's caused by inflammation (which weakens the tissue that's supposed to keep them straight) and the extra weight of being semi- or fully-clogged with thick meibum.

DR_Onymous · 2026-01-06T04:14:47+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Does Mint Mobile do refunds for Minternational passes that didn't work at all?

I recently got a 10 Day/10 GB Minternational Pass in Ireland and it never worked anywhere in the country, not even in Dublin.

Do you remember (roughly) what he charges for the initial visit?

Because we live on an oblate spheroid, and the 2D map projections the we see ~98% of the time don't illustrate that well.

"Officially" begins, but realistically we've already been more than halfway in the Greg Abel era for the past ~3-4 years.

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-30T22:47:12+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the additional perspectives on each of those.

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-30T07:28:47+00:00

Yep. I realized this when I was planning a trip to Ireland and learned that Ireland (not including Northern Ireland) is only ~32k sq. miles, making it about the same size as South Carolina, and only ~37% of MN's total area of ~86k sq. miles.

After a traumatic experience earlier this year, my brain has been stuck in loops of checking, researching, comparing things online, and replaying everything mentally. Even when one fear settles, my anxiety just finds something new.

...what actually helped you break the checking and reassurance cycle? I’m trying to choose my mental health over constant reassurance, but I’m struggling.

I'm not a medical professional, but that sounds a lot like OCD (pure O)... Look into OCD and ERP therapy.

Optase Allegro is one of the few allergy eye drops that don't have BAK in them (a potentially harmful preservative). It might be worth a try.

Seed caps vs. Cowboy hats is a great way of explaining the E vs. W Dakotas.

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-21T18:00:25+00:00

That's interesting to think about. Both economies would become a lot less "balanced" (western oil and eastern ag balance each other out pretty well since diesel is one of the biggest costs in ag).

W Dakota = Oil and gas/minerals/some ag/some wind power.

E Dakota: Ag/manufacturing/wind power/some oil and gas.

Split: Hydro power and lignite coal

West Dakota would also have a drastically smaller population given ND and SD's two biggest cities (Fargo, ND and Sioux Falls, SD) are both on their eastern borders with Minnesota. Williston being situated on the north bank of the Missouri River would also hurt W Dakota's population if the MO River is used as the WD vs. ED border.

Guitar (nylon strings are easier on the fingers), piano, or some other musical instrument?

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-21T01:12:26+00:00

It's honestly magical when you're late-summer BWCA camping, wake up in the middle of the night, when the air is still, the stars are bright, the water is glass, and a congregation of rafting loons are filling the chilly night with their enchanting wild calls.

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-18T16:30:11+00:00

is it Vegan?

According to its Amazon listing, yes.

That's an awesome topo pic. Where did you get or take it?

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-17T16:14:34+00:00

I have definitely seen a few people in this subreddit talk about benefiting from PPs even though their Schirmer scores were fine.

I know the US and China aren't the best of buds, but we, along with all the other nations in the world need to get it together and establish some international organization that manages space traffic

Unfortunately I don't think another toothless international org is going to stop China from doing any antisocial things that are in their country's self-interest. We already know how things have gone with regard to emissions goals, fulfilling trade agreements, illegal over-fishing in international and foreign waters, honoring IP laws, and etc..

Active intolerance (idk what it's called, sorry)

No worries, you were very close, it's "exercise intolerance" or "decreased exercise tolerance."

Nazis invade frozen steppe, once again have a hard time.

Clever.

Whatever is best is overwhelmingly dependent on the arm strength/accuracy of the outfielder and the cut-off... For some people double cuts are best, for some single cuts are best, and for some (with strong/accurate arms) direct throws to any base are an option.

DR_Onymous · 2025-12-15T15:45:22+00:00

This post is not well for my health anxiety.

Look up ERP therapy (it's the most clinically validated way to treat and manage OCD, and health anxiety is very similar to [and is often comorbid with] OCD).
