I’m the same way. I take like a quarter hit and I’m alright. The whole puff? Gone for hours.

You just listed out the reasons I stopped at MSc! I’m all of those but only like half as much.
I’m sorry, but yes. She couldn’t resist my encyclopedic knowledge of self-hosted streaming options.
All spouses can be taught to use Plex or Jellyfin. It just takes the right approach and some determination. Mine is now sailing the high seas with the finest of us.
Shamelessly purloined from YouTube:

I just respond with a hearty “yeeearghhhh!” and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I’m a lunatic.
Agreed. The only time I was suspended was because I filed a charge back for an incomplete, buggy game that was sold as finished. It took so long to even get running that I was just over the refund time limit and they refused to make an exception. There was some verbiage about being banned if I continued to do charge backs. I just stopped using Steam.
We too have an asthmatic kitty and follow much the same process. Our girl is on 5mg prednisolone daily now as her asthma is so severe that the inhaler barely did anything. The difference is huge - she still gets congested in the spring from all the pollen, but is otherwise asymptomatic.
That’s actually an urban legend. Most of it was shown again by the NFL back in 2016 after they used various incomplete sources to patch the majority of the material back together.
The bit about the tape has a grain of truth to it. A man found a copy of most of the show in his father’s attic, had it restored, and wanted to sell it to the NFL but the two parties couldn’t agree on a price. The man and the curator of the organization which restored it both had watched it. It was then kept in a vault due to its value.
It was recently shown to the public by the organization that restored it, so I’m assuming it was never purchased by the NFL. Bummer for the finder.
Edit: I haven’t watched all of this, but it appears to be on YouTube. Grab a copy before the NFL finds out!
You could have been helpful without being condescending. It’s actually allowed and even encouraged.
For anyone else interested, here is an Interesting Wikipedia read on the composition and properties of toco toucan beaks.
Do what I did: never write it! I put as much on my resume but not once has an employer verified my education. I could put anything!
Many people, myself included, prefer to read. I can quickly skim an article to make sure it’s worth investing some time into before reading it for retention and understanding. I can also read far faster than a narrator can narrate the same. Overall, written word is just a significantly more effective medium for me. Others may have different reasons.
As in turns out, Watson and Crick may not have actually stolen anything from Rosalind Franklin after all. If you’re interested, I found an article I read regarding it about a year back. A couple of researchers provide some interesting info and context that make the original data stealing narrative less certain.

“Math and Murder Cult” sounds metal as hell. I’d join.
I work/worked in science and I’d say it’s humans. Especially old humans who get their egos tied up into their work.
Younger scientists seem to find it easier when they’re told a concept that forms at least a portion of their previous work is wrong - many just roll with it. Time to do more research, hooray for enhanced job security.
Older scientists, though, tend to fight that change because even if the disproven concept is only 5% of their work, it’s 5% of decades of work and their work has increasingly become part of their identity. That’s a big part of the reason I stepped out of both research and lab work: so many snooty, old, white men who lack lives outside of their field of study. They’re just exhausting to be around.
Especially since a great deal of that research was performed using public funds.
This is normal, many sphinxes have short or absent whiskers.
I see it now! Thanks for the nudge.
Learning to circumvent my parent’s fumbling attempts to keep me off of early nineties bulletin board porn made me the man I am today.
