That is just brutal.

I went through this in my middle teens. It took 10 or 20 years to go away.

I once had the perfect job for biphasic sleeping. I would get up at 4 AM, work and be home by about 1 PM, sleep til 4 PM, stay up til 11 PM, then back to bed til 4 AM. 8 hours of sleep a day, 7 or 8 hours for work, 7 hours in the afternoon and evening for whatever I wanted, and I felt well-rested the whole time. It’s the only thing I miss about that job.

There are legitimate uses for this. People with neurological conditions, spinal injuries, etc. Would I sign up for this? Now? No. Am I willing to say the same in 30 years? I can’t give a solid answer on that.

The outrageous is happening right now. This is just one more item on the list.

Reading this made me wonder how metallic lithium is stored and, guess what, it’s stored in oil. So, which label do you use for a container holding lithium and oil? I’m guessing you need two, one for the lithium and one for the oil. And here we are.

No, I don’t think this building is filled with lithium and covered in oil, but I suspect there is more than one container containing metallic lithium covered in oil.

It isn’t food, but you can always try this. There is even formal research. You’re welcome.

Expecting oil and gas companies to charge less than the market can bear is the greatest delusion. The reason they care about the tax is because this is a captive market which still has some flexibility in demand. If the price is too high sales will go down - people will drive less and plan their routine trips more carefully. This is also why the price of gas goes up just before a long weekend - people will drive more, so they can increase price at no risk to sales volume.

So yes, removing the carbon tax just means the oil and gas companies will make more profits.

To tack on this. She definitely needs therapy, classic trauma-based coping mechanisms, and the depression may be because of that or exacerbating that. I’d also say, due to natural biases, that we may not have as much negative info on him, but that’s okay.

I think he’s almost done and she’s either almost done or done. Probably the best option is to get out sooner with a little less drama and take some lessons from this. The alternative is to keep trying to fix it until all feeling is gone, then break up with a nicely burned bridge in the background.

From Wikipedia: The leader of the Puppeteers is known as the Hindmost. Since Pierson’s Puppeteers are foremost concerned with their own safety and the survival of their species, the most important Puppeteer is considered to be behind, or protected by, every other member of the species. It is a shortening from the more literal the one who leads from behind.

This is pretty much me. Used RIF, when it stopped working, I stopped going there regularly. Took a couple weeks to completely kick the habit, and a year of occasional use via search engines, never even bothering to log in. Now I almost never go there. I’ll head there as a last resort if a search engine can’t find me a useful alternative for what I’m looking for.

Since 2005? A little prescient, but he did make sure everyone knew what mattered to him in 2001, so I’ll accept it.

I think this is the classic “she’ll have to work twice as hard for half as much” that the right-leaning voters will insist on to vote anyone for president who isn’t a white man.

It always breaks my brain when people talk about Bernie as Democrat, let alone establishment Democrat. He’s Independent, and only joins them to run in their presidential primaries.

This is not a criticism of Bernie by any means. He just realizes you have no chance to be president if you aren’t part of a party.

This is what happens when people watch the Joker and think of Joachin Phoenix as the hero rather than the victim who then lashes out at the system that made him.

I don’t know about this, but nanosilver fluoride seems to be pretty effective and non staining.

Here’s a bit of a non-standard link with some information.

When I was younger I learned a lot of things the hard way. For a decade of my childhood I went to the emergency room at least once a year due to accidents.

As a Canadian, this is the first time I heard the term half-staff, while I’ve heard half-mast numerous times. So I believe it’s much more an American thing and not a North American thing.

And yet he spent a whole lot of effort blocking totally not Muslims from immigrating. Why would you not take him seriously when he said Israel should finish the job?

Just a quick nod to
