Modern Marvels, which is amusing because the oldest episodes are like 22 years old.

"If everything goes right, maglevs could be running in American cities within a decade."
episode air date: April 7, 2008

I just saw a video in my YouTube recommendations from This Old House season 43...nearly as old as I am.

Probably Seattle, which is like 3kish miles.

i'm reminded of the time i scraped my knee. they used that burning hydrogen peroxide. that fucker burned :(.

i always dreaded that shit every single time i got hurt.

I had something similar, although I did it to myself. I had been working out in the yard digging a flower bed and I managed to get a huge blister on my palm and pop it so that I just had a massive raw patch of skin. Since I'd been working outside I wanted to clean it so I dumped hydrogen peroxide on it...ouch.

Royal beats Four of a Kind

https://www.888poker.com/magazine/how-to-play-poker/hands

You can tell it has been a while since I played poker of any kind.

It would depend on a number of factors like what other cards are in the river. Only thing that beats a royal flush would be four of a kind, so if there is no pair showing in the river then I should have the highest possible hand at the table.

Did you go to his casino?

I *might* have been in one of his casinos while he still owned them.

I'm actually surprised our's hasn't failed yet, it was here when we bought the house back in 2009. Fortunately it is in the basement so if it does fail it will just drain right to the sump pit.

My mom just had to replace her's last week. Her total bill was $6k but that had other work involved so not sure how much of that was specific to the hot water heater.

98% of the overall plot of Dragons Dogma 2 is absolutely terrible and silly

Which is pretty much in line with the first game.

We bought a house specifically to avoid having to deal with these kind of rent hikes.

And soccer doesn't have people running with the sporty Macguffin in their arms.

Still closer to soccer, hockey or water polo than American football.

My only real issue is that it is so over used that I just assume any religion presented is going to be the villain.

particularly where the only age restriction now is "promise us you're over 13"

Yeah, that alone makes having a sex and sexuality board a bit iffy. I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list.

Neosporin is my go to now. Growing up my family used Bactine and I think my grandfather used Mercurochrome/Merbromin.

Lots of boards are, and will be, gone soon

I honestly have no clue how this board has survived as long as it has or how it is still linked from the poll of the day page.

Yeah maybe but other sites like reddit would have same problem

Yeah and now that Reddit has gone public I'll be curious to see how long their lax content standards will last. Considering the push some states have made towards ID requirements for sites with 'sexual' content they could also be trying to keep out of that mess.

Just so im aware, you pay for this right ? why would they say no if you do ?

That is an excellent question and yet they do. It took my wife over ten years to get her's done.

That's good to know. I def need to talk to the doctor to see what's best for me. Thanks for the info.

Even if you can get a doctor that is willing to do it, you would probably have a hard time getting insurance to cover a hysterectomy solely for reproductive reasons since there are less expensive alternatives. They are cheaper and less invasive than they used to be now that they are laproscopic, but it is still removing an entire organ.

The vouchers were always BS because you know a huge chunk of them probably went unused.

And they're probably also using prices at *insert local store/dealership/etc. here* as opposed to places like Walmart

As far as I can tell they use the manufacturer suggested retail price for the west coast rather than a specific store.

Now it just needs to survive all of the legal challenges that are going to come.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Only 3 and Brotato is the only one I've really put a decent amount of time into.

I've never had Turkish Delight, but for some reason I always assumed the texture would be more like a gumdrop than a gummy bear. You learn something new everyday.

From the days before boxing had much in the way of pesky rules.

Several Ultima games had the Armageddon spell, which literally killed everything in the game but the caster and a handful of powerful NPC's. .

was it likely one of those log-in expiring things? had to check mark to remember my sign in as well as OTP. strange. anything to worry about?

I don't think it is anything to worry about, most cookies have some sort of expiration date so you are eventually required to log back in again. Since you were able to sign back in it shouldn't be an issue, although you can always change your password if you are concerned.

Noticed that the rubber tip from my ear bud was missing. A few days later, I was cleaning my ears and it felt like something was blocking my hearing.

I originally didnt think it was the rubber tip (I thought it fell on the floor somewhere) But now I can barely hear out of my left ear. It doesnt hurt at all, just feels like I got water stuck in my ear, except its been like this for 3+ days

im thinking of calling the minute clinic 5 mins from my house, but I dunno if I should just go to the ER instead. I have a feeling (a hope) that the clinic down the street could probably just pull it out easily

I would do the clinic first rather than the ER, they should be able to deal with it, it should be cheaper and you aren't taking up ER resources for something non-life threatening.

I've never had Red Lobster...

then again, I never had lots of things; Never been to a IHOP, Dennys, Applebees, Panda Express/Hut, Churches, Popeyes, whataburger, Swiss Chalet, Olive Garden

Most of those you really aren't missing anything...aside from possible indigestion.

I've never been to one but my wife and I were just talking about them not that long ago, surprised they were still around.

Part of it's paranoia over getting sued if the woman changes her mind later, but it's mostly just the attitude that all women should want kids and that anyone who says they won't will likely end up changing their mind later, so the doctor believes they're doing the woman a favour by refusing to do it. It's a very sexist, paternalistic way to practice medicine, but it's still very common.

When my wife was trying to get her's done it was before we were married or even engaged and they kept trying to convince her I should get a vasectomy instead since it is more easily reversible. She was like 'He can get one if he wants but it doesn't change the fact that I want my tubes tied."

I'm betting this will be a landslide in favor of Winchester. Frank Burns just had no redeeming qualities so he came off more as a parody than an actual person. Winchester had his issues, but his relationship ends up being more of an Odd Couple scenario rather than being truly adversarial and he is given some redeeming moments to make him seem more human.

Are we sure he is a Democrat? He seems to peddle a lot of Republican ideas.

I should see what happened.

Apparently a company just picked up the patent in 2023 and is looking to bring it to market as 'Plan A For Men' https://www.axios.com/2024/01/17/male-birth-control-plan-a

Never got into coffee.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I'm not in the group that advocates for legalizing all drugs.

adjl posted...

I guess they're banking on hardly anyone being able to get it done. That, or they didn't realize you were white, but we'll go with the slightly less cynical interpretation.

The correct answer is still cynical, it is cheaper for them than paying for pregnancy related care.

My wife had to fight with her doctor for years before they let her get her's tied.

Amazing I hope I can someday!

There is one in Australia in 2028.

There are plenty of Weird Al songs where I only know the Weird Al version.
