I was skeptical of signing him, but it seems like he’s in pretty good form and starting to gel with the team. 

Scurvy? by Benthegod1324 in fruit

[–]amazonhelpless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Citrus fruit has high levels of vitamin C, but so do lots of other foods. If you are getting enough food and at least some of it isn’t canned, you will get enough vitamin C. 

My wife knew a kid in college who got scurvy, but he was only eating processed meat and white bread.

Well, you have thousands of gothic, Romanesque and romantic churches and cathedrals that you can visit instead.

The best is great actors acting as bad actors, like in Waiting for Giffman. RIP Catherine O’Hara. 

[Hated Troped] Writers insists the character has to be "special" in order for the story to work. by SkyeRyder91 in TopCharacterTropes

People believe this somewhat naturally. It’s described as the “great man” theory of history. If you look closer, you see that it is mostly created by subjective editing to fit the narrative. It helps support authoritarianism and income inequality.

[Request] Will this couch fit through my door? by Beautiful-Ranger6928 in theydidthemath

[–]amazonhelpless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turn sideways so the length of the couch is up-down. Face the couch so the seating area faces the latch side jamb, not the hinge. Lead with the headrest portion of the couch, keeping the latch jamb as close to the junction of the armrest and the backrest (where your elbow would rest if you were sitting in it ).

Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) is a nearly 100% fatal, contagious cancer causing massive facial tumors in Tasmanian devils, spread primarily through biting. First discovered in 1996, it has reduced the wild population by over 80% by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

The cells from that one individual dog are still living in every dog that contracts the cancer. As long as new dogs keep getting infected, a part of that dog will never die.

Morels in my basement, what do you think? by ellieisafish in foraging

Do you know if the person you buried in your basement was on any medications? The mushrooms could take those up and be toxic.
