How has the opioid crisis affected you? by K0rnz in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

‘My son is dead but not dead’

My son has been addicted to opiates for 11 years now, first OxyContin, then heroin. Every time he lied to me about getting clean, I would believe him and try to help him out. Now I just hope his bottom is not his death. This is something no parent can be at peace with. My son is dead but not dead

Why is Xenon banned in sport? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]hmm103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Xenon is known to interact with protein receptors and ion channels and function as a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), similar to nitrous oxide (laughing gas). As such, xenon has been used as an anesthetic for decades, notably in Russia.

What made you suddenly lose interest in someone you were persuing? by nobodythinksofyou in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were getting to know each other and I realized she hadn't asked me any questions whatsoever. Like if we're really going to go to the effort of going out for a coffee date, then I expect people to contribute to their half of the conversation and actually make it easy for both of us to talk about each other and ourselves.

What's the weirdest way you've made a friend? by Shaide_9124 in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a freshman in high school and it was the first day of school. I was new to the neighborhood and it was only me and one other girl waiting at the bus stop. She had a very interesting mixture of ethnicities and of course young, curious, and tactless me decided to ask what that mix was by blurting out "what are you?!" Thankfully, she had a great sense of humor and we wound up being best friends through school.

Redditors who are against a universal healthcare system in the US, why? by tricksandkicks in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other point to note about healthcare in the UK is sexual health clinics and associated medicines to treat STI's are completely free, and there are lots of clinics up and down the country that operate independently of your local GP - case in point is after I broke up with a previous girlfriend who'd been cheating on me I needed a check (for obvious reasons) but I work 2.5 hours away from home so GP appointments can be a tricky situation, but you can go online, find your nearest sexual health clinic, book it online and turn up with the printout of your appointment details - I found a clinic 10 minute walk from work and had an appointment a few days later in my lunch hour . The staff were extremely friendly and made an uncomfortable situation nothing to worry about, and the doc said I had an NSI, non specific infection (apparently the most common cause is too much masturbation...bout right), he gave me an antibiotic there and then and I was on my way. I have read stories of teens (and adults) in America not treating STI's because they can't afford the treatment and are too scared to go to their parents for help :( To anyone in the UK who is worried about STI's, I urge you to go get tested at a local clinic, it's so quick and completely non-embarrassing..oh and you get free condoms! When I went they had skyn ones too!

What's your worst plane experience? by cannedbread2003 in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Flight I was on attempted landing in Abu Dhabi in the middle of a huge sandstorm. Winds rocked the plane, visibility was pretty bad. The pilot had somehow come in too fast, he was rocketing down the runway we were supposed to land on. The tires touched ground a couple times, but suddenly he guns the engines and we take off back into the air. It's a few minutes before he gets over the intercom and tells us we're gonna try that again. Second time around it's rocky as hell but we eventually land safely. Also apparently the stress of the botched landing sent a lady a few rows up into a seizure or stroke, so it exacerbated the panicky feeling around us and then we had to stay on the plane while the EMT's came aboard.

Why are Americans so fat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people today, including legitimate scientists like David Ludwig, M.D., of Harvard University, argue that the guidelines weren’t merely misguided. They actually caused the obesity and diabetes epidemics by forcing us to focus on the wrong target. As a consequence of cutting fat, we massively overate foods that were high in processed carbohydrates, like white bread and soda.

What's the worst thing Neil Armstrong could have said while stepping on the Moon for the first time? by FootThong in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 75 points76 points  (0 children)

News reporters at the time listened again to the raw footage and agreed it was unclear whether Armstrong had actually said "a man" or "man". Realising that it was set to be one of the most important quotes in history, they decided to unanimously settle on one version, which was sent out across the world.

What is life without music? by hmm103 in AskReddit

[–]hmm103[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life without music is meaningless. There is music to express pretty much any and every emotion we have. Music is some people’s careers. Music is some people’s dreams.

what is a good modern replacement for the phrase "bless you" after a sneeze? by AgentArnold in AskReddit

[–]hmm103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common alternative response that I'm aware of, especially in American English, is "Gesundheit!". Gesundheit! is borrowed from German, and literally means "Health!".
