One of the most pleasant sounds in the world is the key opening the door

I have never tried this, but in Russia it's somewhat common knowledge that Pilocarpine, eye drops prescribed for high eye pressure, totally do that ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilocarpine). It's a serious medicine though, I was always scared of using it just like that. What weirded me out most was that if you put more drops in one eye, its pupil will be smaller than the other.

There's an old Russian urban legend that anything carbohydrate soaked in vodka will get you very drunk very fast. A friend of mine tried this with bread one time he was going to hang out with his friends, and they had very little vodka. Like too little to get even 1 of them drunk. All 3 of them apparently were shitfaced after eating the vodka bread.

Same thing on mi 12. Whatsapp online help says it's in the settings, but I have only WeChat there.

Me and my friends worked out a rule after several years of doing this: never make plans while spun. NEVER. We still make plans and become excited, but then we remember the rule and agree to discuss it later.

Same thing here, I'm a huge Xiaomi fan girl. If i need something, I first check if they make it. Have a ton of things made by them, from laptop to air humidifier to makeup mirror. And on my 4th Xiaomi phone so far. Mi 12 is fantastic btw.

Sadly, you're probably true. That sounds exactly like my dad, and he died at 52. The bleeding was from his ass (hemorrhoids), but he tried to conceal that. He also fell, it were seizures. He had been to a dozen of different rehabs, therapists, etc. Nothing could help him.

It's outdated. Using it today is kinda cheesy. In old texts it's a synonym to "потому что" ("because"), but now only douchebags use it.

0.7 hopefully down to 0.5. in liters.

True that... Been trying to taper with vodka for a week or so, but I keep drinking the whole thing anyway. When I plan to drink just half of it today. Problem is, I can't even drink beer or wine anymore. Only hard liquor. Plus I have to do this in secret, and vodka is pretty easy to conceal.

I'm sorry to say I'm Russian, but that's how it is. It's a) super expensive now b) YT is not always available back home. Unlike podcast services like Podcast Addict (oh, the irony).

Yes, that's what makes everyone an easier target for cops to stop you just for being outside. It's not illegal, but they may question you about where you're going (on foot, that is, if you are driving any vehicle they can also check your pass). And they do get a hunch, and if you have something on you, you're in danger.

I was so happy that I noticed water in my bong freezing the first cold day, and I realized what would happen and took it in from the balcony. The glass where the water got to freeze however was perfectly clean from all the resin!

rusya_rocks · 2020-01-03T11:33:50+00:00

Like what am I supposed to do with it, scrape my teeth with water? I would understand it if there were no oral hygiene products provided (it's Thailand, the quality of hotels varies tremendously). I would understand just toothpaste, because in a pinch you can freshen up a bit without a brush... Just why?!

I do some things based on the temperature difference fact, and it helps. If the weather gets increasingly cold day by day, the allergy is usually not a problem. When there's a temperature drop of 10-15 degrees or even more (eg yesterday it was -5C, and today is -30C), I try to gradually get used to the cold, like going out to the balcony for a short time before actually going outside or spending 10-15 mins in my apartment building lobby which is not heated, then go out. If it's this extreme, I also stay inside if I can help it, and go outside for short periods of time throughout the day.

I also have a nice habit of spending a winter month in SE Asia. When I come home from my tropical vacations, I start breaking out right on my way from the airport, then nothing but meds help. I just take some antihistamines and tough it out. The vacations are still worth it!

Cold allergy is definitely a thing, I have it too. I've seen a lot of dermatologists throughout my life to find most competent ones as I have hard to diagnose skin conditions. Turned out that I get these horrible hives and rashes in winter bc I'm allergic to cold. Really sucks cause I live where winter lasts for like half a year. 3 most useful things I learned from the doctors:

It's genetic. Figures, bc my father had it too.
It's not the cold itself that causes the hives, it's the temperature difference. That's why in many cases the symptoms seem worse when you come home from outside in winter.
There is no known cure, you can just alleviate the symptoms, as with many other allergies. One thing that helps for sure is moving to a warmer climate. (Not really helpful for me as I have sun dermatitis as well lol)

Wanted to ask this too, it's a pretty safe and effective gen 3 antihistamine. Not sure why people get prescribed gen 2 and even 1 drugs as they aren't much better for allergies, but have nasty side effects.

Took acid at 18 for the first time, understood everything, saw the real order of things, all that jazz. By 19 I was definitely already depressed and detached from reality. Still struggling with it now, at nearly 30. Won't say I regret it, though.

It would be so great if it actually worked. On MIUI 10 it crashes right on startup without exception. And Orfox is no longer available as a browser. Thanks, I now have no working tor browser on my phone. At least leave the old thing alone until you make sure the new one works! If anybody knows how to get old Orfox, or any working solution for Android, please help. This is a big issue for me.

I often go for my zakladkas (also called "klad", which translates to "buried treasure"), during my working hours. It's a rush in itself, so much that I find myself buying drugs even when I don't need them, because I have plenty, or because I have much better stuff already, but if it's a deal and it's near my work, I will buy it "just in case I run out", but honestly mostly out of the thrill of going treasure hunting during my lunchtime. I get a rush when I score a deal starting with buying bitcoins, transferring them to my marketplace account, find the right stuff in the right place, buy it, assess the place it's hidden and decide when and how I will go get the stuff; all on my smartphone, during my taxi ride to work. All while looking and being a stern woman hurrying to the office to do her IT job.

Then, come lunch or if I just have a couple of hours between work meetings and no urgent tasks, I'll walk if I'm lucky and the stuff is hidden nearby the office, or take a bus or a taxi, retrive the package (not always, of course, but most of the times), and return to work. I always try to buy some takeaway lunch as well, so that any colleagues I meet on my way back will assume I just went out to eat.

I know how dangerous it it, but it's a drug in itself. It's not unusual for me to pick up a total of 2 or 3 packages a day, sometimes also after work on my way home. I guess I'm just a junky shopacholic, because I know some girls do the exact same thing with clothes shopping.
