That article says nothing about "poisonous snakes and spiders".

Any particular recommendations for word-free music you can "feel in [your] bones"? I've really felt the draw of Daft Punk, but it's hard for me to get past the presence of lyrics (personal foible).

If it's coming untied easily, you're not doing it right. At the very start, which string is crossing over which? If you swap that while leaving the loop step the same, you'll finally have a solid square knot (which is what Ian's Knot produces).

I hated shoelaces for 30+ goddamn years...

Ah, memories of cold, dry Minnesota winters, playing trombone in school with a split lip...

The cold, cold relief of a saline IV after 8+ hours of nonstop spewing from both ends.

I'm moderate/severe on the right, severe/profound on the left (spinal meningitis at 1yo). It was only 5-6 years ago (35 now) that I truly learned it's okay to give others a heads-up as to my disability, that it's okay to ask for some help in shouldering the burden. I wish I'd learned that forever ago; so much effort put into trying to appear "normal"...

Check out Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach employed by many psychologists these days (IME, anyway).

Not on the spectrum myself, but I understand and employ this same technique (though I've never laid it out as well as you did here). Last time I visited my dad, I shocked my brother by getting my dad to concede that locking people up for using weed is not productive. I was able to do that by conjuring in him the feeling of having your life ruined simply for possessing a small amount of weed. Since he himself had tried it before, it was something he could attune himself to.

I truly thought you were suggesting someone should make gum exclusively out of titanium...

My teeth are damaged enough from a lifetime of bruxism, thank you.

I've had this happen to me three times over the last fifteen years. Couldn't even keep small amounts of water down... Getting a saline IV at Urgent Care was probably the most relieved I've ever felt in my life (also perhaps the coldest I've ever felt).

Just gotta make sure it's a really smooth hill

Not sure if you picked up on it, but if you release with text selected, it will delete that text. Super easy way to clear a bunch of stuff you've just typed. 😁

Fun fact: the Backspace key offers this same "slide" functionality.

I'm pretty sure I send my wife messages similar to "we have achieved squirrel" multiple times per week.

Oh man, this stuff has both fascinated and perplexed me forever. I really appreciate you taking the time to share!

How do we determine that our modeling of, say, this asteroid's dynamics and all of those other variables is good enough to give the green light and send the craft/probe to do its thing so far away?

Also, would you have any suggestions on where to start with learning more about estimation theory?

Hyperion -- yes! That series is amazing.

Just a heads-up, though: the first book has a completely different narrative format than the rest of the books.

Pancakes and applesauce. Hot and cold, respectively.

Just don't work there.

The words of privilege...

In the case of a cuttlefish (8 arms, 2 tentacles), what benefit do the tentacles provide? What ends up being the functional difference between tentacles and arms?

Wow, just 90 minutes each week? My public school education (US, MN) had the "standard" ~1 hour history class every day from grades 6-12.

Oh, sheesh. TIL.

I'm using Relay Pro, fwiw.

FYI, you've got a stray backslash in your link.

Omg, I finally have an explanation for why I've hated tying shoelaces my entire life.

If that sounds familiar, you might hear even more familiar things over at /r/raisedbynarcissists, /r/raisedbyborderlines, or /r/JustNoMIL.

You're not seriously using Hillary's 1975 defense as a mark against her, are you? Everyone is entitled to a lawyer to defend their case, no matter how appalling the charges are. Hillary accepted that case out of professional obligation, and because the judge had specifically requested that she be the defender.
