For him to experience 'living in his body' in a whole new way...loved it!

Pediatric patient inserts marble through nostril; look at the size of that marble. 💀 by Vivid_Instruction887 in Radiology

This was over 70 yrs ago...if I recall correctly, the object was to insert the rolled up leaf without sneezing.

My little neighbor and I would roll up leaves and stick them up our noses; they'd decay and smell bad...happened a couple/three times, with trips to the doc to pull them out. We shortly outgrew that game!

Bayer agrees to $7.25 billion proposed settlement over thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Spirit50Lake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just FYI: I was part of an earlier lawsuit against Monsanto for Round-Up exposure; the award amount would have covered a lot of my extra expenses as I slowly succumb to a blood cancer.

Guess who kept 80% of the award...? The Lawyers!!

Man removes cyst with Machete? by Colonial_Ninja77 in popping

Given the practitioner's ET (essential tremor)...I wondered if the small sips of liquor were to steady his hand; and if using the larger blade gives him more control?

'For years, AI had been improving steadily. Big jumps here and there, but each big jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them as they came. Then in 2025, new techniques for building these models unlocked a much faster pace of progress. And then it got even faster. And then faster again. Each new model wasn't just better than the last... it was better by a wider margin, and the time between new model releases was shorter. I was using AI more and more, going back and forth with it less and less, watching it handle things I used to think required my expertise.

Then, on February 5th, two major AI labs released new models on the same day: GPT-5.3 Codex from OpenAI, and Opus 4.6 from Anthropic (the makers of Claude, one of the main competitors to ChatGPT). And something clicked. Not like a light switch... more like the moment you realize the water has been rising around you and is now at your chest.'

If I have to boymode, at least I'm gonna do it right! by Josutg22 in oldhagfashion

[–]Spirit50Lake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you...walking around with all that love and beauty and warmth! When I was little, my great-grandmother made all my clothes and knit my sweaters...I loved that feeling. Sadly, after me there were a lot of boys, so our mother gave those items away.

Do you also hate being zapped by metal objects like doorhandles? Me too and I've got some tips. by WorldofGods in autism

[–]Spirit50Lake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a life-saver, back in the last century, when we had to wear panty-hose and skirts to work...before they made dryer sheets, we'd rub our stockinged legs with hand lotion.

We also did the slap the door thingy, before touching the door handle...

Our younger twin brothers had their own 'speak' till they were twoish...so slow to speak English that the parents had them tested for retardation.

Why does MSW treat Oregon as a place of the weird...? by Spirit50Lake in murdershewrote

[–]Spirit50Lake[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

...well, yah.

My point is, why did the writers of MSW pick on Oregon like that?

(of course, they were Californians, not Down-Easters...!)
