Transportation keys (car or bike locks) are each on their own key ring and I take the one I need. All the rest go in my wallet.

Any recollection of what the obscure ones you had were?

I don’t know how many varieties are really an option from the grocery store. Farmers markets are probably better but I didn’t realize how many options there were or how different they can be till I started growing them. Definitely recommend slicer varieties for sandwiches but honestly they have been my favorite for everything.

I recently bought some msg. Tasting it by itself reminds me of tomatoes - like a tomato with no sugar and no juice. Haven’t really used it at all yet but based on that I might try mixing it with mayo or even just sprinkling it on a sandwich (with or without tomato on it).

Seriously, the number of articles with wild headlines and text that describes a video or picture - WITHOUT SAID VIDEO OR PICTURE - is too damn high. Really the number of “news stories” that are just this is too damn high to say nothing of the fact that anything actually useful or critical just isn’t going to make the news in favor of whatever corporate BS they are shilling.

I mostly opted out a long time ago and while I’m often out of the loop on lots of things I generally can’t avoid hearing big news and have more room for other things that I actually care about.

We did this too. We used hacky sacks, socks and idk what else that would absorb lighter fluid and then play in the dark. Learned what burning hair smells like and melted some shoes but we kept doing it.

This is a joke ntended to illustrate the sometimes absurd oversimplification that has to be made to do certain calculations. An apple falls out of a tree from 20 feet off the ground, how long does it take to hit the ground. Well, what is the drag coefficient? Assume it’s a sphere. OK, what about the texture, the air temp, wind, is the ground level and flat, etc etc. And as the problems increase in complexity the number of variables increases exponentially. So your professor might tell you to "Assume it is a spherical cow of uniform density“.

Often these estimates are actually quite good and trying to account for all variables isn’t needed.

“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it’s so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I’d like to at least try.

This is how it should be!!!

If you can feel more than nothing during the root canal (or any dental work) then you need more anesthetic. Dentists aim to give you as little as possible so it is up to you to let them know if you have any feeling. It can start to wear off too, you’ll know and should tell them so they can give you more.

Take earbuds and listen to some music during it. Let the dentist know and they will probably be fine with that.

Edit: Read more of the thread. Don’t get high, it can interfere with the anesthetics. Your tolerance to them can be higher as well. If you feel comfortable with it you can talk to your dentist about it.

My vote too. It’s crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn’t work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn’t.
