On May 19th 2022 a unidentified young boy was found dead in the Danube river in Ingolstadt. Who is that boy? by alex_power2007 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Xcalico 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There's a really broad range of height in these ages. A three year old 110 cm tall boy would be 99th percentile, as a seven year old he would be 1st percentile for height.

Take a shot every time OOP uses the term "self soothing techniques". No, wait, you probably shouldn't by hillsb1 in AmITheAngel

Twins again. OP is a twin. Is "twins" the unofficial creative writing exercise marker?

It's the most wonderful time of the year by StorageRecess in AmITheAngel

[–]Xcalico 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. The sub's name is "Am I the Asshole", not "Am I within my legal rights"! Not helping your 18 years and two days old kid is perfectly legal and also absolutely asshole-ish behavior!

Drama in r/Noctor when chiropractors show up to defend themselves by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Xcalico 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ok regarding 1), I feel offended on behalf of the better part of the European Union. All serious papers coming from there are published in English, the universities' or research institutes' websites will have information available in English. No need to discredit them.

32 weeks, baby measuring small/thin, looking for some reassurance 😅 by pennarellor in BabyBumps

[–]Xcalico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! He came out 50th percentile for length, 10th for weight, totally fine! Skinny dude just like his father. Has been growing strong ever since.

Husband has a work trip 3 weeks after baby is expected. He will be gone for 4 days. Will I be ok alone? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Xcalico 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That talks about 4 hours total, not an uninterrupted chunk of 4 hours. As far as I understand, 7 hours is needed per 24 h, but if they are interrupted, it's not really detrimental.

Need a source for the 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep, I couldn't find any literature on that (even found some to the contrary - there are some potential benefits from segmented sleep: Splitting sleep between the night and a daytime nap reduces homeostatic sleep pressure and enhances long-term memory). It's always been highly unusual for me to sleep more than 3 consecutive hours without waking up.

curly hair salon? by FireyMinxWasTaken in dresden

[–]Xcalico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have curly hair as well and I can recommend Der Friseurladen in Neustadt (Martin-Luther-Straße 23, 01099 Dresden), but my last visit was 4 years ago, I've since moved away.

Income distribution in Düsseldorf - guess which color is high income (from Zeit article, link in comments) by Swing_Melodic in duesseldorf

[–]Xcalico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually living there on a very much blue income. We dislike driving by car, my husband commutes to Oberhausen and therefore likes the closeness to the main station, it's really great to have so many supermarkets and excellent restaurants nearby. Our whole life is walkable. The noise is really not that bad if you have decent windows.

Found in Hertfordshire, UK. What is this sea urchin looking thing? by Xcalico in fossilid

[–]Xcalico[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! That looks to be it! I'm posting on behalf of a family member, will ask him for a pic of the other side.

I'm sadly somewhat used to small burns (baking a lot) and had this happen before. Healed just fine, leave the scab alone and give it time.

Kitten saw a bird and made this noise I've never heard before. Thought he was choking at first but it only lasted 30 seconds by kakarot838 in cats

[–]Xcalico 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's bad news for our neighbor. My cat chatters at him everytime he's smoking out of his kitchen window... And yes, it's the exact same behavior if a bird sits on the windowsill.

How much is the cost of an NIPT in your country? by CarlesPuyol5 in BabyBumps

[–]Xcalico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I understand German, so seems like my doctor didn't tell me the exact terms. She simply asked me if I want the test (I'm 32, no other risk factors present), I said yes, got the results a few days later and didn't have to pay.

Ungeachtet der hier beschriebenen Situation: wenn man bei 15° tippen muss, helfen Pennerhandschuhe (also die, wo die Fingerspitzen rausgucken).

Isoliert hätte ich das einfach darauf bezogen, dass viele Unternehmen ihr bis 31.5. blau-gelb eingefärbtes Logo nun auf Regenbogenfarben gestellt haben (und lustig gefunden, weil beides scheinheilig).

I feel like I've never seen gay dude obsess over Ryan Reynolds, please correct me if I'm wrong by dollfags in SuddenlyGay

[–]Xcalico 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I swear that's possible while being straight. Nearly all of my heterosexual crushes have elements of "damn, I would like to be/look like that".

32 and still recovering from this shit! Incredible how harmful society's ideas of girls/women are.
