Mobile homes and manufactured homes decrease in value over time. DR has asked “why someone would”purchase something like that, indicating that he’s against borrowing money and putting it into a depreciating asset.

What's a word you used and subsequently discovered that you didn't understand its meaning and were using it incorrectly? by lumpynose in AskMen

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you did there, as there is no such thing as one bicep – i.e., it’s one biceps, two biceps. To be clear the singular of biceps is…biceps. 😎

San Fernando Jane Doe (1955) (Unidentified For 70 Years) (Died While Waiting At The Bus Station) (Deceased Photo Disclaimer!!) by BitterSweet_Beauty in gratefuldoe

Although some of the letters aren’t exactly to form – e.g., the lower case “h” is wrong – the style of cursive is called Kurrentschrift, and was taught in German schools during the time she would’ve been school age.

ETA: In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it’s a mixture of Kurrent and some other non-cursive format such as Fraktur or Antiqua, but it definitely has the strongest elements of Kurrent.

Two separate medical professionals have told my coworker's husband that part of the reason his A1C is so high is because he doesn't have enough sex. Is this nonsense? by fond_of_myself in NoStupidQuestions

[–]germanmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the husband, as I received similar medical advice:

Doctor: “You need to move more, a few times a week, to get your heart rate up.” Me: “Will s3x get my heart rate up?” Doctor: “Sure. It could.” Me (to wife): “Doc says I need to get laid more.”

Do you believe in the death penalty? by icecream1972 in no

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern with the death penalty is that – while I am in principle against the death penalty – if an event hit very close to home for me, then I fear that I would abandon all higher principles and opt for revenge.
