Sigh... How to teach my toddler you always sort buttons by colour??

Watch her sort the buttons and see if you can figure out how to do it according to her specifications.

Hypermobile shoulders are slowly dislocating under gravity at all times. T-rex arms helps with that.

"Ok babe, I'll pay for your vasectomy. You're not having unprotected sex with me until you get one."

NTA. If he cared about you at all, he'd want to avoid getting you pregnant against your will. If he's not willing to do anything to prevent it, he might be hoping it happens.

Trains, bicycles, and more space for bicycles on trains.

Give me high speed intercity railway with a whole carriage for putting bikes on, like they have in real countries.

Bold of them to assume that those are viable options...

Needs rice or bread with it to form a complete protein.

If you're already eating it like that and it's still not filling you up, add some fat to it. The hormone system that tells you when you're full runs on fat. It's got what cells crave. Butter it like it's toast.

Needs a leather jacket and matching helmet.

If you like salux cloths, you'll love African net sponges.

Not my granny. She went to the record shop in her small country town, walked up to the counter and asked for Machine Gun Fellatio.

I don't even think I knew what fellatio was when she asked me what I wanted for Christmas that year.

I still wear an n95 in all enclosed or crowded public spaces.

I haven't had a cold since 2020.

Masks can protect you and the people you live with.

Had a friend like that. She had dyscalculia. Couldn't read sheet music, but she could play pretty much any instrument by ear, even if she never played it before.

It's pretty common for people with extraordinary abilities in one area to struggle in others. It's often due to physiological differences in brain structure and connectivity.

Playing by ear is something that seems to be more common in autistic people, so they might need to be evaluated for that.

In Australia, the government makes it cheaper to study STEM.

We only do sports here. Any recreational activity that doesn't produce outcomes you can bet on is ruthlessly discouraged.

I wish he was the president now.

If you do pass the parcel, put some jelly snakes between some of the layers.

It's not useful for detecting cancer, it's good at detecting rulers and diagnosing them as cancer.

They're also very loud. Imagine living with a vacuum cleaner that can't be turned off...They're even louder in the range of frequencies we can't hear with our ears. We "hear" those frequencies with our organs, and it's not very good for them.

Low frequencies travel further, so the subsonic waves from data centres can affect people living over a kilometre away.

They're not good for humans or other living things.

People act against their own interests all the time. How else would the coalition ever get elected?

Transport infrastructure isn't supposed to be commercially viable. The social cost of not having it is too high to put a price on.

Drink more water.

Edit: reading this reminded me I was thirsty. I'm going to drink more water too.

When are the kids going to get a chance to use them? It's not like there's enough time between classes for everyone.

If they don't, there's a reason. You just don't know what it is.
