And those of us who can't get an MMR booster due to immunocompromise because it's a live vaccine are very grateful to those of you who are looking into whether you need a booster. FWIW, regarding checking titers, although my spouse's primary care doc said that's what they're defaulting to due...

I've had a very similar experience with the Epson ET-3850 printer I've had for I think close to two years now. Still haven't gone through all the ink that came with it. The blue print nozzle clogged once a few months ago, and it took 3 rounds of maintenance cycles to clear it up, but it's been...

I accidentally froze my hand to the inside of a freezer. As an adult, even. I was in my now-ex's kitchen filling ice cube trays and didn't realize his freezer had bare metal inside (because whose freezer has bare metal inside? It was the 90s, not an icebox from the 20s.) Some of the water...

No, I'm talking specifically in terms of the wild conjecture about sexual assault in this thread and the dehumanizing language being used to describe it.

I'm sick in a minor but annoying and contagious way, which meant not going to the library to pick up my hold that came in and not bringing the mildly swollen battery I took out of my phone headset to the county household waste facility today (the only day of the week they're open outside my...

I am a trans man, so you don't get to turn that one around on me, sorry. Calling women as a group "females" as a noun, rather than using female as an adjective, is gross and dehumanizing. If you'd prefer to get away from gendering folks, we could go with, I dunno, people? Early modern humans...

And blocked the troll.

If you'd rather not be tarred with the incel brush, a nice start would be not using dehumanizing language like rather than women, particularly since you're discussing/normalizing sexual violence. Edit to add: I think the phrase you're looking for in the context of your discussion is "became...

The insurance premiums are pretty rough, too.

You seem pretty dedicated to defending something that you say isn't your viewpoint.

Excuse you?

It's warm-ish, 55F/13C. This winter has lowered my standards for what's considered acceptable progress toward spring, so just the fact that there's no snow on the ground would be working for me right now, let alone the current temp, but hopefully no more deep cold. It's felt like a long winter...

Have you given any thought to why you're both entertaining all these obsessive rape fantasies and insisting on inflicting them on the rest of us? It's a paper on genetics. Can we let it rest?

Yeah, the number of people in this thread conjecturing evidence-free about modern humans being abducted and assaulted en masse by Neanderthals is frankly disturbing.

I lisagree, explaining it could potentially give spoilers. [edit to add a /s]

I saw Wikipedia rabbit holes, non-linear interactive fiction, and the photo, saw that it's made by Inkle and ran off to get the game. Will be back to finish actually reading the article after work that about took up my break. Thanks for the pointer to this one, it looks fantastic!

Same. I loved the book, but in all the times I've tried watching the movie, I've never once made it past the EVA scene with all the breathing without falling asleep. I should maybe try starting after the sedative EVA scene sometime and see how that goes.

I have a pair that are waterproof, nicely insulated, and good in snow/ice but are a project to get on/off, and a pair that are waterproof and easy to get on/off but not particularly warm and better in rain than icy weather. Sadly I haven't found the magical combination of all those criteria yet...

My doctor prescribed potassium citrate for this purpose. He said it's more effective than citric acid, but it does have the downside of requiring occasional testing to make sure blood levels of potassium aren't getting elevated. I take a medication that increases risk of kidney stones so it's...

I really had a moment there when I found the drive bay completely empty apart from a couple of dust tumbleweeds. Granted it was late and I was running on almost no sleep, but I definitely short-circuited a bit.
