• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would I need to do to successfully paint with my own menstrual blood?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mix with egg whites to make gouache and it’s likely to last for hundreds of years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On your shoulders…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents emigrated in the late 1950s. After the Berlin Wall came down, they returned to Germany as tourists and noticed that former East Germans spoke a noticeably different dialect to West Germans, my father said it was similar to the difference between British English and North American English, but the change had come in only about 30 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long before I can sleep on my memory foam mattress?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did it come with instructions? We left ours for 24 hours and it was fine. YMMV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People are lazy, they get so many emails each day, they couldn’t be bothered reading messages properly. I have turned into a cynical annoying person and write emails with large clear action points like this:

  ---

  Hi, I have some comments and questions.

  Please answer 2 (two) questions so that I can proceed with my part of this work. Without an answer to both, no more work will be done and the project will be on hold.

  Consequatur doloribus eaque ut quia veniam est ut. Vitae assumenda sed quisquam omnis dolores nesciunt fuga. Autem non sint minus sed quia. Aspernatur tenetur quis nostrum repellendus nostrum est qui. Sint aliquid est distinctio laudantium.

  1. Yes or no- Does this mean that the flibbertygibbet must be completed first?

  Reiciendis quia qui quia quo hic commodi molestiae vel. Ipsam ut quia et voluptates quaerat voluptatibus neque recusandae. Et fuga necessitatibus rerum debitis. Repellat facilis possimus ab sed eos doloremque. Ut rerum aut corporis. Cum voluptatem praesentium error.

  2. You need to provide further information on the doohickey because there is not enough detail for me to be able to goober the whatchamacallit

  ---

  And then keep forwarding the original email every day until I get the required information. When the boss asks why no progress has been made, I can show him the email trail asking for information.

  Cover your ass, keep adding the same questions until you get an answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any calls without caller ID legit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Government departments, hospital, many companies regularly call me with “No Caller ID” and then seem surprised when I don’t answer.

  If it’s urgent, they will should leave a message (instead they keep calling and complain that “it’s hard to get hold of me”).

  I actually just got a new phone number because I was receiving literally hundreds of spam calls, text messages, and voicemail messages on a foreign language, every week. I have “Silence unknown callers” switched on. Only my contacts can get through. If anyone else doesn’t leave a voicemail, send a text message, or email me, then it’s not urgent and I won’t even try to follow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not a captcha, it’s a trick. Don’t do it.

  They copy malware into your clipboard and try to trick you into pasting that malware into an environment that will run it.

  Delete/ignore and move along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than Canada and Australia, which countries are best alternatives to traveling to the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some slow acting poisons?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  • Heavy metals: lead, mercury
  • Arsenic in small doses over a long period

  I don’t know of any plants, but I do know that the leaves of nightshades (potato, tomato, eggplant, capsicum, tobacco) are poisonous toxic in large doses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In this specific case, pharmacy or doctor. In the case of surgery, ask about social assistance at your hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did anyone else learn that "a group of cats is called a Whisper?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of a whisper, but never heard of a lot ofthese either (some sound made up by five-year-olds).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens to all the used guns?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “They aren’t bio-degradable. Only the dead are bio-degradable."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ad blocker for ios browser Safari? What would you suggest?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just started using Adguard and it seems to work well. Blocks YouTube ads too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread: Wednesday, 5 March 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Our dog loves in the night garden. I think it’s the bright colours. Sometimes we’ll watch an episode with him as a treat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens if I eat a box of paper clips before an MRI?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll get a big surprise!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's this thing stuck on my dirty underwear? Is it a piece of undissolved tide pod?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Left a tissue in your pocket? Maybe the detergent got caught in a fold and didn’t get a chance to get rinsed out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any handbooks for warning lights on cars/machinery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno man, sorry. I haven’t worked in construction sites for more than 30 years, I wouldn’t know where to look either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The results of IQ tests vary from country to country, from city to city, and depend a lot on socio-economic, educational, and cultural background. They can be a good bit of fun but aren’t consistently reliable. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any handbooks for warning lights on cars/machinery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On the outside? There’s almost certainly a standard for your country and industry. For example, nsw.gov.au/…/RMS-45070588-Flashing-lights-and-sir…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conflicted about my coworkers' overpunctuality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What was the question again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨went to the local food bank today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for letting us know. Are you ok?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically, only intent.

  I can run a samba or plex server, for example, from my raspberry Pi, my desktop pc, or my laptop. These can all be considered servers as well as desktop PCs.

  I could, in theory, buy a secondhand rackmount server from eBay and run it at home as a “desktop” pc with windows or Linux.

  More practically, hardware architecture that provides redundancy and continuous uptime. A commercial enterprise server could have multiple hot-swap hard disks in a raid array, redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, and something in the back of my mind tells me that even RAM and CPU can be hot-swappable in some models (am I thinking of IBM power or did I imagine it?).

  The advent of cloud and virtual machines could work towards making hardware redundancy and continuous uptime obsolete, but there are cases where servers on premises continue to be used and preferred.

  I hope that others will correct me and add further information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t dolphins and whales breathe through their blowholes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Waiting for a repeat of Jan 6 from the other side, or a civil war, or the sovcits to take over, or all of the above, or some other unknown catastrophe.

  Whatever disasters may or may not have come about due to “bad” presidents in the past will pale in comparison to the events of the next few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because phone numbers are more complicated than IP addresses.

  Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Phone Numbers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there silly license requirements?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why isn’t there a license to have a kid? With an exam to make sure you’re going to look after them properly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people who drink, how long do your hangovers last?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was young and regularly drank to excess, they used to last until mid afternoon.
