Most Americans I know don’t even have a scale in their kitchen!
I (an American) always wonder what a cup of spinach is. Like I can really pack it into a cup or not and there is a huge difference.
They have to pay hundreds of millions a year bribing politicians across the world!
Well, for a long time the only thing my tv had was a computer hooked up to it that played random futurama 24/7!
Here is what I do, it is a type of visualization meditation.
I have been watching futurama (original seasons) for 20 something years. I have seen each episode literally hundreds of times. I have them burned pretty well into my brain at this point.
I have ripped just the audio track from the DVDs. When I wake up in the middle of the night (2-4 times per night!), I turn on a random episode as audio only.
The goal here is to try to visualize the episode as you only listen to the audio. This forces you to focus on something rather than stress about life. It really helps me stop thinking about anything else. Because I know the episodes so well, it has become quite easy to stay focused on it (like watching with your eyes closed). And since I’ve seen the episodes so many times there is no fear of missing out, so you don’t try to stay awake to finish an episode. I can typically fall back asleep within 5-10 minutes with this technique.
I personally have these on my phone in a playlist and sleep with a single wired ear bud in one ear. I have a sleep timer set for 25 minutes. If I wake up, all I have to do is tap the button on my wired Apple headphones and it’ll continue playing for 25 more minutes. No need to open my eyes or take off my sleep mask.
My understanding is you can’t. Once you sign up for it you forfeit Medicare.
I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.
It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.
I hate it too. But I am not my government.
I saw an article recently that over half of people of whom Medicare is available to are now on Medicare Advantage plans, which are actually private plans that take all your Medicare allotment and may not provide better coverage
It is shocking, but I guess 24/7 commercials on Fox News work 😞
It is a huge scam and the government never should have allowed it…but capitalism at all costs, I guess.
I’m 100% in on the metric system, but Fahrenheit is the best way to measure weather.
0F is my freezing point 100F is my boiling point
Fuck freezing/boiling of water!
Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.
Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.
Because some intercity buses (Megabus) don’t want to pay for their own stations or even pay to use and existing intermodal facility.
I recommend reading this article “I Went to 50 Different Dentists and Almost All of Them Gave Me a Different Diagnosis”:
My grandma was from the Midwest, mostly South Dakota. My grandma was very sweet and so it really cracked us up when she said that.
When my grandmother met my now wife, who is from Alabama, my grandmother told her “well, we all have to be from somewhere”
Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!
