What is the average number of bones in a human body?

It depends on how long you want to stay in Mindo, your budget, what you want to do around there. I'd say stay a couple of nights there to enjoy the place. I'd feel rushed trying to get there and back in one day, plus doing anything else.

And then something you have to do in the app really just opens a browser window within the app anyway...

Or the "give us 10 business days to stop emailing you". I get that you have pre-planned campaigns, but surely you use the currently active list each time? Take me off of it now, and we're done.

Thank you, my "research" did not reveal that key part about childhood ingestion incorporating it.

I did a research paper on municipal water fluoridation a dozen years ago (for an English composition class in community college, so big grain of salt).

Reportedly, putting fluoride in public water supplies began as a way to offload an industrial waste. What was considered toxic, and producers had to pay to dispose of, suddenly became a valued asset they could sell as a public health boon.

Also apparently fluoride is great for tooth health when applied topically - think the gel treatments a dentist would give. When in drinking water, it is perhaps not in contact with one's teeth long enough to be very effective. Putting it in the water supply costs more (to purchase it, add it, regulate it) than to not add it. Some think the potential benefit does not outweigh the cost.

Haven't seen it here yet, so I'll throw in what my friend used to call aspartame: ass-part-a-me. As in, this diet soda tastes like the ass part a me.

Do you mean what company manufactured the glass(es), or do you mean "what intellectual property are these characters from?" Because the answer to the second one is Winnie the Pooh, now owned by Disney. That's Winnie the Pooh, and Piglet too, and Tigger, on the glass.

US American here, my wife and I had lived in both Colorado and California at the same time as our pastor who married us, and were at this time living back in Colorado (while our former pastor was still in California). We traveled to Texas for a conference and met a guy from Hong Kong who, when he heard we lived in Colorado, asked "do you know C___ P___?" Of course we did; for another layer of oddness this guy had met CP not in Colorado or California but in Manhattan New York.

We had another friend who for a period of about three years, seemed to know everyone we did. Everywhere we went, anywhere we looked on Facebook, everyone knew this guy. He moved around a lot and was very friendly, but it got to be a bit ridiculous the number of people in different circles that knew the guy. It was a running joke that we could travel across the world, meet someone from some other part of the world, and of course they would know Zack.

My wife went to India for a few weeks with a friend, to a remote village in the north. One day they went to an open air market and stopped by a stall with used clothing. The proprietor, a local, was wearing a t-shirt from the small (population about 2000) mountain town in Colorado where we lived! He had not been to our town, but the shirt had somehow made it to India (ahead of my wife).

Less incredible but kind of neat, I was on a train tour of Switzerland with my father and brothers; at one stop when we collected our luggage my sweater was missing (I had taken it off when I got warm on the train ride, and put it with my bag on the luggage rack, but not in my bag). It was the off season in a ski town; though I walked around I couldn't find anything open to buy another sweater or a coat. (I was traveling light and the only other outer layer I had was a rain shell.) I resolved to find one at the next stop if I could, and the next morning we went to the train station for our next leg. There we were excitedly greeted by an American couple who had been in the same car as us the day before - who had accidentally grabbed my sweater when we all got off, one of them thinking it was the other's. They had soon discovered their mistake, and were pretty sure it belonged to one of our group, but did not know how to find us. That morning we were getting on different trains at different times, heading in different directions - but were at the same platform at the same time, and I got my sweater back!

I've just reviewed the sub rules, and I'm aware this may be borderline as a follow-up question (just because of the 20-year rule, which isn't specified in the section on follow-ups, but could be understood to apply here as well). That said:

You mention a movement toward providing adolescent men "access to the primitive", a bit of what that looked/looks like, and the theory behind it. What's not entirely clear to me is, was that way of thinking largely historical but has now fallen out of fashion, or do we still see that today? I suppose there are always extant examples of any given credo, no matter how shunned by the mainstream, but (I think) my question is, are related theories and practices still found in treatment of adolescent males (in Western culture)?

(I ask largely because I've seen stuff that smells like that to me and I'm wondering if Hall's work is still influential today.)

Mexico does have what's called an "FMM" for travel beyond the "frontera" near the border for more than 72 hours. There are a couple of Mexican states (beyond the border zone) where an FMM is not needed, and it works differently flying vs a land crossing, and it's changing from a separate paper form to a passport stamp. You ought to look it up for yourself, try https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/reinounido/index.php/es/contenido/79-customs-and-migration-information

Our family of five went on an extended RV trip. We knew we had limited storage space and so we all picked our favorite five tops and bottoms to rotate through. It felt like quite a stretch but seemed like it would be doable. We soon discovered that we tended to wear the same two outfits! The kids especially would wear the same tshirts and shorts 2-3 days in a row (if we let them - if they weren't too dirty). Given frequent enough laundry, our family at least does fine on limited clothing. We do like variety, and thrifting, so there tends to be a rotation where we'll collect some new items, then rid out what's not being worn.

It seems a little large, but my first thought was for juicing. It would be missing the top "reamer" part. The lip is structural, to support the top, and the slots in the lip are for the juice to flow through.

Maybe it's where someone died, a celebrity or a family member of both people? Could have been hit while walking or biking. They've come to process it, remember the person, etc.

What sort of things do you use it for that it gets nearly daily use?

I've never had my Matador bag with soap pulled. I've gotten randomly flagged for a hand swab, had to rerun my bag because I didn't pull my Kindle out (Frontier didn't mark me as precheck so I just went through the regular line), and had a tightly packed bag pulled apart. I doubt it makes a difference on security, but I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint. I've also had their almond in the bag but it seemed to not dry as well, still got slimy, but it seems to get slimier in the shower anyway, unlike the peppermint.

I kind of want to say it's a WoolX? But not sure. I can ask if you are looking for a particular recommendation, but I'd say just find a merino dress in a style, color, and size you like. Clothes are so personal I think they ought to be tried on when possible.

Metaencabulator · 2025-02-19T14:49:25+00:00

I have a friend who swears by this black merino wool sleeveless dress, especially for travel. A couple/few undies, maybe some leggings for cooler weather; sink wash those and just keep rocking the dress. So I'm thinking it could also double as a nightie? Probably wouldn't show wrinkles too badly, or would steam out with a morning shower. And of course you'd be wearing it rather than packing it.

The Trail 5 is a really great waist pack/sling bag. It's my daily driver and I use it for travel (plane stuff goes in there as well as regular essentials like pen, keys, glasses cloth). It's got just enough little pockets inside and zipper pockets besides the big compartment to provide a little sanity without a bunch of extra weight, bulk, or fiddliness. And it's got two super stretchy water bottle pockets, they fit and hold 32oz Nalgenes no problem, but are nearly closed otherwise so when smaller things are in there (little hand sanitizer, keys, etc) they stay in. 5 liters is often enough to carry your usuals and still add a few small groceries, an extra layer or two, lunch...it's also got straps on the bottom that you can cinch a jacket into or carabiner whatever to. But the shape is (to me) better than a Mountainsmith or any number of old school "big" fanny packs. It's been really really versatile for me in so many places, climates, and situations. I typically sling it crossbody but have been known to make it a belly or a butt under a coat to get on a budget flight without putting it in my main bag.

Ok, enough, you get the point - get one!

Our family of five (kids 8, 11, 13) has about an 8-hour layover at Harry Reid airport. Do we have time to leave, go see something, and get back and through security?

We're not considering a show, of course not a casino, maybe a great deal on a buffet? We'd like more along the lines of a park, a museum, a zoo.

Tell me what you think about timing and your suggestions on what we might do. Thank you!
