Tomorrow I expect to see Scott Adams retweet his “Republicans will be hunted” post from a couple years ago.
“Come, come, you wasp; i’ faith, you are too angry.
Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out.
Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies.
Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.
Katherine: In his tongue.
Petruchio: Whose tongue?
Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.
Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman.”
I’ve been going with EyeBuyDirect the last few times I’ve gotten new glasses. I’ve used Zenni a few times, and they’re definitely on the list of places I check, but EBD has a better selection. I save so much money on frames I can afford better lenses, and they run 2 for 1 deals pretty often. So I get a pair of regulars and a pair of polarized sunglasses.
You can upload a picture and then try on the glasses virtually and judge that way.
When I was a kid my parents had The Best of Bill Cosby on record. I wore that vinyl out playing it over and over. I memorized the bits. I bought all the cassettes I could find. I have vague memories of Fat Albert on Saturday morning. And some movie where he played the devil. And The Cosby Show. I wanted to be Bill Cosby when I grew up.
Has any other beloved celebrity fallen as far as Cosby? I mean he was universally considered to be a genuinely nice guy. He was America’s Dad.
While this is a good first step, let me know when we start applying this standard to US companies.
Arthur C. Clarke wrote a sequel to the sequel to the sequel of 2001 (called 3001) where Frank Poole is rescued a thousand years after been lost in orbit around Jupiter/Saturn. By then global warming isn’t caused by carbon dioxide or methane or even water vapor. It’s from 1,000+ years of waste heat generated by each human that’s ever lived. Even with 100% clean energy, everything still creates heat, and it has to go somewhere.
I will reserve my judgement until someone else repeats this. Too many times these types of papers end up being retracted due to mistakes or proven false later. FTL neutrinos come to mind.
You’re thinking of Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Nitrous Oxide is used during some surgeries (I took it when they pulled my wisdom teeth) and abused by people trying to get high. Nitric Oxide (NO) is apparently a vasodilator (it relaxes blood vessels allowing more blood to flow). It’s produced naturally by the body, and you can buy supplements if you really want your pee to have more Nitric Oxide in it (taking most supplements just makes your body get rid of the extra by filtering it through the kidneys).
I don’t know anything about the Buteyko method, but it sounds like a fad/scam medical practice with no proven benefits. But you do you, just don’t do the tape thing, that sounds dangerous.
Do I have access to a What-If machine and the Finglonger?
It sounds like providers are trying to hide monthly fees in an attempt to obscure them. My ISP will let me ‘rent’ a modem for $10 a month, but I just decided to buy my own for $60 fifteen years ago. My brain says that’s $1800 (it could be wrong, it’s late). If I didn’t know I was paying a $10 monthly fee, I’d never have bought my own.
And if a fee is actually a tax, just put that on the bill. It’s pretty simple.
