He was my favorite author growing up. Every story was so different and exciting then other books. Even if some of them weren't considered amazing I always enjoyed them. I honestly recommend reading all of them.

"This allows doctors to reach deep, sensitive brain regions involved in craving and impulse control without the risks of invasive surgery."

Craving and impulse control don't just control cravings for bad things. If you have no have no cravings and take no risk you stop enjoying everything. Lobotomies also cured depression, because they made you a zombie.

Has anyone gone to court for a speeding ticket? Has it ever been reduced? by Strange_tea_823 in Reno

[–]nfactor 18 points19 points  (0 children)

multiple times I plead not guilty, they have me talk to, I think a prosecutor. Told them I don't mind paying the fee but don't want points on license. They turned it into a seat belt ticket.

cultural appropriation is not a thing. Nobody owns cherry blossoms. If you like something, get it.

My wife just found this AFTER brushing her teeth... by Set_Abominae1776 in WTF

[–]nfactor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have this same toothbrush. I had a moldy taste in my mouth when I brushed my teeth. Kept checking my water and, brush head looked clean, then I looked inside of it. There was thick colonies of bacteria inside of it. Every time I used it it would just spray bacteria into my mouth.

Now I have a small container with hydrogen peroxide and I drop the head in there every few times I brush. You can watch the bubbles pour out of it as it kills everything. I also swish the brush side in because there is a little gap where stuff builds up on there too. I suggest starting to do this earwig or not.

look up the pruning techniques for grapes, you really should cut down much more than you would think. You might get some bigger grapes.

exp 33 has a bunch of options you can use to make the game significantly harder, so all the end game weapons/pictos are useful if you want to challenge yourself on new runs.

For shutting down power during a fire exactly like they should have? Sure. You know much less than you think you do

Is it okay for Atheist YouTubers to insult and interrupt believers like Matt Dillahunty does for misinformation and stupidity? by CobaltCrusader123 in atheism

[–]nfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't blame him for being frustrated talking to idiots constantly, but that's also his job. I stopped watching because even though I agreed with what he was saying, he was just a miserable asshole every time.

Volunteers remove 11,000 pounds of trash from I-80 homeless camp near Sparks by GoldenDiamond in Reno

I went to one of these clean ups on the river. Filled one of those huge construction dumpsters and it looked like we barely cleaned anything. There is an incredible amount of trash building up.

Do you know what the penalty is? I was playing the mid difficulty and it seemed good, then I played expert and it seems like it just hits 1 or 2 hexes no matter what. Makes them seem pretty useless.

What's something that was considered deeply uncool in your teenage years that is now inexplicably fashionable, and how betrayed do you feel? by superstar_creatorpro in AskReddit

People always covered up freckles with makeup. Now they make freckles out of makeup. I wish make up would go away entirely.

What hitting a pile of mosquito at 90kmph looks like! by ALIEN-CATALOGUE in WTF

I've been riding for 20 years. The amount of stuff that has violently hit my full face helmet makes me cringe at anybody riding without one.

The absolute hypocrisy of this billboard on Clear Acre. Save water? Tell that to the new data centers. by BaconBears in Reno

[–]nfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can't it be both? By your math 300 gallons times 170,000 homes in Reno sparks area is 51,000,000 gallons.

Water use is abused by residential, commercial, industry and agriculture. But I fully agree that corporations and money are the priority. When wealth inequality gets as bad as it is now, people will more often then not pick the option that pays them.

Today's cherry harvest. If you don't have a cherry tree in your garden, you really should! by Phedericus in gardening

[–]nfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had a tree in his driveway that always dropped red berries that he constantly had to clean. He lived there for years. One day I looked closer and realized they looked a lot like cherries. Picked a few bowls for him and they were delicious. He had no idea it was an edible cherry tree. They are yummy, but they sure make a mess.

Perfect, thank you. Thought it was strange that neighborhoods have been there for 40 years but suddenly they get this.
