I was in a chat for a radio show. The host of the show said that he had had a "semi-rogue" history teacher in high school. I said "He doubled as a stealth archer when they needed more dps." Nobody got it. I hate it when that happens.

I'm trying to decide whether I like green olives stuffed with bleu cheese or with garlic better. Garlic might win. I haven't tried the jalepeno ones yet.

I just wrote that, didn't I. Insomnia: twisting perspective since the beginning of time. Perspective usually returns to its original state. It's elastic. Like cats.

The elasticity of cats is well known in physics, which is why they came to SchrΓΆdinger's mind for his thought-experiment that had nothing to do with elasticity but had a lot to do with a cat.

When I was a kid I didn't realize mayonnaise was a condiment with a faint but discernible taste. I thought of it as a kind of edible glue that held various foods together.

I could tell you the most popular one in the Navy when I was in, but it wouldn't go over well on this site...

omg you're right. I knew that part was hormones, but I hadn't made the leap to its affecting other dry places.

I searched "can menopause make your eyes dry" and it turns out that yes, it certainly can.

I'll let you go look yourself so you can choose which articles you'd like to read, but apparently it's very common.

Said all that to say this: misunderstanding phatics gets you avoided. I think when people say "sorry to hear that" they usually mean "I acknowledge your loss but have nothing to say about it However, I don't want you to think I wouldn't care, if I actually knew you well."

TIL the word "phatics." Good to have a name for them. I take them way too literally. If I say "sorry to hear that" I am. I try to say "I apologize" for the other use, unless it's something like bumping into someone. If I ask you how you're doing, I want to know. Yes, I'm an anomaly.

The teeth, my god, the perfect, identical teeth. As if someone had handed out dentures at the door.

I didn't know this, and I think it's very important to know and to inform people about. Do you have a link or a case reference or anything? I would be very grateful. Thank you

There is something flying around in here that I can't see and Ragnar keeps chatting at it. It's been a couple of days now. Wondering whether it's a bug or something extradimensional. Also wondering which would be worse.

Apt building watch party. Sitting between a very loud guy & a drunk, way too talkative woman. Went upstairs and got iced coconut rum; 2nd half was far more fun, but I don't drink often and now I feel like shit. Should've gotten high instead but didn't want to get the munchies around the snacks.
