Whoa. Did they reconcile before he passed, though?

Oh, I still believe it, no worries. Sorry for your loss, no matter how long ago it was.

That’s wild! I never heard of that law. I do remember in boot camp back in the '90s, they told us that people could get kicked out if they snored too much because it could potentially give away your position to the enemy. That being said, I knew plenty of soldiers who snored, and none of them ever got kicked out for it.

A matter of seconds, but I attribute this to my time in the military. It is VERY hard for me to fall back to sleep once I’ve woken up because my brain is like “It’s GO TIME!” instantaneously. I could wake up, walk straight out to my car, and drive it safely if I had to.

If you ever figure it out, you have to update us!

We Don’t Need Another Hero by Tina Turner? I dunno, I’m out of ideas. Good luck though! You’ve got me curious to figure it out.

Is it maybe:
Missing You by Diana Ross How Can I Ease the Pain by Lisa Fischer Gotta Tell You by Samantha Mumba Electric Feel by MGMT Don’t Walk Away by Jade Tell Me by Groove Theory Right Here by SWV
These are all older songs, some from the 80s, but also some from the 90s.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 5 weeks ago:
Smoking. I smoked for 13 years before I finally quit after multiple attempts. So glad I did too, because the cost of cigarettes has become insane.

I was very disappointed at the gym this morning when I realized I didn’t have it all to myself.

Wash your chicken before cooking. Don’t do this, it just spreads salmonella all over your sink.

Hah, the only time I’ve bought things on EBay is to purchase Transformers toys! Though it had been a while.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 3 months ago:
There’s dust in closets, too. I just bought a 3-pack of zippable plastic dust covers for all the hanging clothes I don’t wear often because they were getting dusty AF.

As a woman, I’ve always been kinda jealous of a man’s ability to just piss wherever, whenever. I mean, they do make these, but I’ve never used one because it kinda seems like you piss in there and it it’ll just end up all over your entire yoni, which just sounds like a mess.

- Comment on How to find custom Lego builds with instructions? 4 months ago:
Other random LEGO question: Is there any website that I can upload a picture of something to it, and it will create LEGO instructions/create a piece list for me? I’d really love to have/build a LEGO version of The Ark starship from The Transformers, but I don’t think it exists.
- Comment on Does the "White Power Ranger" seem like an odd title? 4 months ago:
Wasn’t the white power ranger the green power ranger first, or am I misremembering the story (it’s been a while, sorry)?

- Comment on What's the deal with gasping? Is it an inherent reflex? Is it learned? Did I desensitize myself to the point of not gasping anymore? Do you gasp? Do certain groups of people gasp less commonly? 4 months ago:
If I’m startled, like a jump-scare or something, I’ll likely gasp, but if I see a car accident or someone falling or something explode, I’m far more likely to say “Oh shit” than gasp.
On a semi-related note, I really hate the people (mostly women, sorry ladies, and I say this as a woman myself) who scream when something bad happens, but the bad thing didn’t happen directly to them, they are just witnessing the bad thing. And they scream anyway. I hate that shit.
I think it’s some animal instinct thing leftover from our primitive days that’s supposed to draw attention to the bad thing? But at this point in our evolution it just feels like that person is drawing attention to themselves and away from the actual issue.

Oh I’m thankful for the replacement, I’m just not thrilled with now having to find a way to properly dispose of the faulty one.
- Comment on How to get rid of swollen batteries? 4 months ago:
They didn’t offer that, they only offered a replacement.
- Comment on How to get rid of swollen batteries? 4 months ago:
Not to hijack your question, but I’m in a similar situation where the Anker power bank I use to charge my phone got recalled because it can apparently cause fires. Lurking here to see how people respond to your question, because I know I shouldn’t just throw it away, and none of the battery recycle places around town will take it because it’s been recalled.

I’m worried this is happening to me right now. I’m in my mid-40s and lately the day after all the spicy foods I usually consume have not been pleasant. Is there no fix for this??

- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 5 months ago:
There’s a book called The Black Eagle Inn by Christoph Fischer that kinda delves into this. I read it because I was interested in the same thing in terms of the “average” person living in Nazi Germany, but man it was a slog to get through and it’s only 300 pages. I don’t know if it’s just poorly translated or what, but the writing is awful. I’m sure there are better books out there, but you might want to give the book a try.

I never played Oblivion, only Skyrim, which I loved. Is it worth buying the remastered edition, or is it gonna be so similar to Skyrim that it’s not worth the money?
