That’s an interesting take but with our term lengths that means a 15y can vote for president and senator but can’t vote for a house rep.

Statistically that’s quite likely… you break your hip when you’re 65+ and there’s a 60-80% chance you’re dead in a year.

Being pedantic he’s gotta at least have mirrors in there because of where the eyepiece is to the side. Additional pedantry is that the aperture and eyepiece being different sizes requires at least one focusing lens.

Honestly if you can position your anus to be in the focus of a telescope that’s kinda impressive.

Elbow is most hygienic. That said someone tell me how to sneeze when I’ve thrown out my back 😭

Gjallarhorni in my ass

Corvus Corax

But hasn’t been prosecuted nearly severely enough. Max sentence I’ve seen is 4y with most of these traitors getting off with months instead.

It was an attempted coup. Sure it failed but the first Nazi coup also failed and they were let off easy then tried again successfully.

Does the podcast still have to be in English? And what topics are you usually interested in?

Optometrist for a new prescription. Not for new glasses. Get your glasses through any of the various cheap online retailers Zenni, lensdirect, etc. Contacts are harder to find for cheap and most will ask for a more up to date prescription to fill.

Costco does exams for $60.

Because “he’s food motivated, lol” is not the caption of someone who is taking a pet’s obesity seriously.

Please convince your friend to put the poor guy on a diet.

Follow a Ramadan or Lent fast and take as much a break from electronics as possible especially around bedtime.

“We don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn”.

Oh, so you really hate scientific writing…join the club.

Volunteered in a life science research lab in high-school due to a mix of high school requirement and parental connections.

Went to college, had some personal shit that meant I didn’t really do internships or the like. Liked mol bio but had been aiming for vet school since I was like 5. Tried for vet school and got very denied (meh grades and probably subpar rec letters relatively speaking not to mention a lack of spots for out of state residents).

Got a job in bone research (~25k/y) and moved back to the south. Dad convinced me to try for med school but I realized patient interaction was not for me. Then decided on PhD(30k/y). Got in and moved up north. Finally finished (fairly recently actually), met and married wife during the PhD but had to stick in the area for her so started a postdoc. So now I get 54k/y until the university catches up to the NIH saying 60K (after the recommending committee said at least 70k to stop losing everyone to industry and let people be able to live…).

After wife is able to move, not sure what’s next. I’m going to try for professorship or I’ll have to go to industry.

Paperback. I’ve sometimes waited for paperback versions of books after their initial hardcover release. Cheaper, lighter, same reading, I used to be less patient so would suck it up and get the hardcover, nowadays I don’t read as much so waiting is easier. I read a lot when traveling and hardcovers are just such a pain. The only “nice” collection I have is LOTR+hobbit.

I’m trying out an eReader soon but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get away from the desire of physically turning pages.

1 lane it would seem.

GTO was/is great.

I’m lactose intolerant and drink soy or oatmilk lattes fairly frequently. My beard was solid before I figured out my intolerance and has been fine since I figured it out. If all it takes for beard trouble is a bit of soymilk you should probably talk to your doctor.

Some singer called Charli released an album called Brat. And some fans decided it was “Brat girl summer”. Charli subsequently tweeted that Kamala is brat after her candidacy was announced and doing well. Harris’ campaign team changed her banner on Twitter/fb to the same green color as the album for a time after the tweet. Fuck if I know why anyone cared about this.

Someone faked an excerpt from JD Vances memoir “hillbilly elegy” stating that Vance had admitted to fucking a kleenex box between some couch cushions. For obvious reasons the internet decided that this was very memeable and ran with it.
