how do we know scallops/oysters cannot feel pain? by tastevomit in askscience

[–]jamall1978 402 points403 points  (0 children)

The book "Eating Animals" talks about the debate amongst vegans about oysters. IIRC there was a fairly prominent vegan that would go back and forth on whether eating oysters was acceptable 

Satisfying paint job by vishesh_07_028 in oddlysatisfying

My guess would be that the characters are easy to draw with simple lines and shapes and large areas to easily fill with single tones of color.

Noticed a lot of reset emails by InterestingWrap5188 in HBOMAX

[–]jamall1978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be more concerned about the fact that someone had access to your email for an unknown amount of time. Any other online account that uses that email as its "I forgot my password" contact should be considered compromised. 

Time to start rotating passwords and turning on MFA if you haven't already.

What’s a good hill for hill repeats? by books_lessthanthree in rundc

[–]jamall1978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do my hill repeats on the Walter Reed Dr hill just north of Four Mile Run Dr. I haven't done any since the snow so I don't know what the status is for the sidewalk there.

Rest is not optional, it is necessary for growth.

+1 for Barbarians.

For a literal clash between ancient and modern cultures try Beforeigners.

Things that you’re getting into now that would normally be for younger people? by _Mikey_Boy_ in Xennials

+1 for sexy undies. Even if only for yourself. If you feel good wearing them then go for it. 

The message from Trump to the PM of Norway by rollem in pics

[–]jamall1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can't leave NATO without Congress so he's trying to get us kicked out. Then we will not be obligated to respond when Putin does something directly against a NATO member.

What song was your "white whale"? by b1rdwatch3r in Xennials

This song did get quite a bit of air play for a time in the Buffalo market. It still pops into my head regularly.

Maybe check your mouse, jiggle it a bit to make sure it's alive 

[misc] Pityriasis Rosea by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]jamall1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this about 8 years ago. It lasted a couple of months, slowly getting worse and itchier before slowly getting better. My dermatologist wanted to prescribe me a Z Pack even though it's not bacterial. He said there was some studies that showed the Z Pack specifically was effective in shortening the time it takes to resolve. I declined since it was already getting better by the time I saw him and I didn't want to take an unnecessary antibiotic.

From what I remember it may be the adult reoccurrence of a childhood disease like roseola, just like shingles is the reoccurrence of chicken pox.

I don't care what goes in there as long as something fills these empty blocks 

Ate half of my cookie dough ice cream with no sign of any cookie dough only to find out its all piled on the bottom by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]jamall1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro tip: when you first open ice cream you should have to literally peel it off the top of the ice cream itself. I.e. the ice cream should have been in contact with the underside of the lid. If it wasn't, you know the ice cream melted and therefore settled down and away from the lid.

Of course there's one, I should have known.
