I don't use the water bottle kind. I might switch to one because it's less unusual to be seen filling up a water bottle in public versus a tank or cup.

Mine is a cup that screws onto the device, and acts as a cover when not in use. It's relatively compact, about the size of a flashlight. I keep it in my backpack or purse.

Mine does. It's a little cup that screws on. Some varieties allow you to screw on your average disposable plastic water bottle.

My parents legitimately believe ivermectin is a cure all and are stockpiling it. They take it for just about anything. They also believe plenty of other wacky things like viruses don't exist and cancer is just a fungal infection.

My dad last year nearly lost his foot after it got infected. They let it fester for months and only treated it with like essential oils or some other pseudoscience. He eventually had to go to the emergency room and stay at the hospital and receive antibiotics. 🙄

I don't think grey actually has another "opportunity". This feels like a negging tactic to me.

It fit in with the low quality flash animations that were viral on the internet at the time. I guess it just seemed a bit out of place airing on tv?

I was really hoping for an ultra wide iPad. I primarily use my 13" iPad Pro for reading sheet music with ForScore. Being able to have two pages side by side at full or nearly full size would be wonderful.

I've been drinking coffee everyday since I was at least 12. I'll get a headache in the afternoon if I don't have it in the morning.

Except that I once went a week unknowingly drinking decaf coffee and didn't experience withdrawal, so maybe there's something psychological at play?

Was there a major staff change for season 9? That's when it appears to have markedly declined.

They also played reruns in the early mornings and late afternoons on weekdays.

Nothing fun ever played on Sundays.

I was homeschooled k-12 because my parents didn't want me to learn about evolution and "communism". I didn't have any close friends ever growing up because there was just no opportunity for that. I didn't have extended participation with other kids on a daily basis like I would've gotten if I was in a real school. At best I had some playtime outside of school hours with a few of my neighbors and there was things like Boy Scouts and tennis club. But it wasn't enough. It really stunted the development of my social skills. Throughout my 20s I was I having to learn a lot about how to make and maintain friendships and just like socialize and talk to people and date and such, things that most people would've done in their tweens and teens.

I guess one nice perk was I never really had to deal with bullying as a kid? But then when I encountered bullies as an adult (terrible roommates, colleagues, coworkers etc) I didn't have the skills to deal with them well.

I'm in my mid 30s now, and I still struggle with socializing but I'm better at it. I've been in a relationship for 4 years and I'm relatively content with my life at least.

 

So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

 

btw, the hot sauce is mild
