I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.
A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.
They did a good job covering that in The Last of Us (season one, episode…4 or 5?): 20ish years post-apocalypse, someone very prepared has kept battery cells in a refrigerator (in acid maybe?) and they have to rebuild the battery before they can use the car, but the battery works.
Source is I heard it somewhere and of course now I can’t find it. :/
Except sexual selection usually affects one sex, not both. And the extra bone doesn’t make the jaw stronger, it makes it weaker.
Yes. Humans have chins, which make jaws weaker. Chins are useless extra bone and essentially a structural defect, but not bad enough for evolution to do anything about.
Well he was super violent.
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
Upvoting that probably gets a ban now.
My mom and I went to Orkney in 2022 and overheard part of a conversation in a shop. My mom asked the clerk what language that was. “… English.”
Yes, I only respect journalists who never update their opinions or recommendations given new information. Everyone needs to use psychic foresight to determine the best takes and then never ever change them. Meta was always exactly as bad as it is today. /s
I hate when someone stops in traffic to let me out of a parking lot or to let me turn left across their lane. You have right of way! Being polite isn’t worth driving dangerously!
I knew someone who didn’t use a blinker and this was their justification, and I’m like my guy you’re in Seattle now; people will drive dangerously in order to let you merge when they really shouldn’t!
The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.
That’s why the term “misogynoir” exists. It’s both, and they pile on and increase each other.
Exactly. She’s using straight needles (with a knob on one end) instead of double-pointed needles. DPNs are also straight I guess! But “straight needles” specifically means the ones with one point and a knob.
There was a bizarre movement in the Victorian era to get people to knit with their needles held with tips pointed down because it’s “more ladylike” but it’s also very difficult and irritating to knit that way so it didn’t catch on.
I don’t think there’s any way to knit a tubular sock on straight needles; the geometry doesn’t allow it. You can knit a sock flat and then sew it up into a tube, but it would look different from the comic.
Edit: actually now that I’ve thought about it more, I think there is a way but it would be super annoying (slip every other stitch so you’re knitting the back and front of the tube at the same time, that might work…). Basically the equivalent of writing a letter by writing every other word and then going back to fill in the rest. Possible, but no reason to do it.
That’s called ‘frogging’ (because you rip-it, rip-it), and you don’t use needles to do it.
There are some articles about his death linked on Wikipedia but they’re pretty just-the-facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kyanka
