No need to ask any other Germans, I think that works if you say it out loud, lol.

I like that even better, “Cheek whistle face.” Is there a way to make it more cheeks (butt) whistle face?

Backpfeifengesicht.
Translated to a slappable face. I sometimes can tell what they mean in German if I say it out loud. I was pretty sure “Back fife and shit” was probably wrong.

My friend has one of those Japanese ones. It also has a warmed toilet seat. When I came out, I said that seat is amazing and they said people never come out of there. I proposed that they were napping on the seat. Why do seat warmers feel so good? The thing is, I could never figure out how to make the actual bidet part work. I suspect the people who took a long time were also trying to test it out, but didn’t know how. Or maybe they did and enjoyed it?

Also, there was a shit ton of shenanigans going on during the last election. Other countries boycotting our products will absolutely help us. If it costs the 1% money, he will be taken down a notch. The oligarchs are in this for the money after all.
- Comment on Marc Rober shows why Tesla's camera-only self-driving system is dangerous 2 weeks ago:
He was helping out Tesla by doing that. He was helping them get the wins they got instead of just Tesla massacring the kid every time. Note to self: As a pedestrian and you see a tesla, don’t cross the street.

- Comment on does someone who lives very far away from me (for example 1900 miles) see the same night sky as me? (as in moon, stars, etc) 3 weeks ago:
That’s a great clarification. There is some overlap, but you’re right, they may or may not see some stars or constellations. The Southern Cross for instance, can only be seen from certain southern states.

A good way to think about this is time zones. The sun is in a different spot depending on what time zone you’re in, so will everything else be in the sky. Also, it depends on seasons because the earth tilts on its axis.
Planets, the “stars” that don’t twinkle, are sometimes between us and the sun (Mercury and Venus). Those planets have crazy patterns and are the evening and morning stars. The planets that aren’t between us and the sun act consistently (the rest).
Our moon travels around us and isn’t attached to the sun, but is in the earth’s orbit. That’s why a lunar calendar and a sun calendar are so different.

- Comment on Indiana is a great place to hire child labor 5 weeks ago:
Educate your kids about what the job should be offering and you as the parent can restrict their hours.
Sure, but the government taking away abortion rights and forcing these unqualified people to be parents while forcing these kids to work, sure sounds like they’re creating a slave class.

Yeah, that makes sense on how that would be hard. I only have 20 and then post weeklyish.
- Comment on Algorithms are breaking how we think | Technology Connections 5 weeks ago:
I bookmark the channels I like and then go through one by one to check if they have something new, old school style. It’s kind of interesting that way because it feels more personal. It’s more like choosing something to watch from netflix from your saved list or similar to those.

- Comment on Here Are the Names of 53 Migrants Taken to Guantánamo Bay 1 month ago:
The Times has found listings for 50 of the men in the U.S. immigration service’s Detainee Locator, which allows the public to search for people by name.
Until recently, the men had been listed as being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in El Paso. U.S. cargo planes began moving migrants to Guantánamo, and the agency switched their locations to “Florida.” Detainee operations at Guantánamo Bay are overseen by the U.S. Southern Command, which is near Miami, and the overall base is supervised by Navy headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla.
As of Wednesday, the military had brought about 100 migrants to Guantánamo. The people who are not named on the list were being held in a separate facility.

A closer look at physical activity and metabolism
You can’t easily control the speed of your basal metabolic rate, but you can control how many calories you burn through physical activity. The more active you are, the more calories you burn. In fact, some people who seem to have a fast metabolism are probably just more active — and maybe fidget more — than others.
To burn more calories, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends the following:
Aerobic activity. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight, maintain weight loss or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.
Moderate aerobic exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, biking, swimming and mowing the lawn.
Vigorous aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, heavy yardwork and aerobic dancing.
Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Strength training can include use of weight machines, your own body weight, heavy bags, resistance tubing or resistance paddles in the water, or activities such as rock climbing.
No magic bullet
Don’t look to dietary supplements for help in burning calories or losing weight. Products that claim to speed up metabolism usually don’t live up to their claims. Some may cause bad side effects.
