Black or coloured papers, and non-black ink, cost more than plain white-ish paper and black ink.

We have a little whiteboard on the fridge, and every time we run out of something or think of something we need, we write it up. When going to the supermarket, I take a photo with my phone - instant shopping list!

If sovcits claim that US law doesn’t apply to them, doesn’t the 11th amendment mean that they are “citizens of a foreign state” and should be deported? Or just detain them in Guantanamo Bay forever.

Is that a watch on your cock ring!?

Waiting for a repeat of Jan 6 from the other side, or a civil war, or the sovcits to take over, or all of the above, or some other unknown catastrophe.

Whatever disasters may or may not have come about due to “bad” presidents in the past will pale in comparison to the events of the next few years.

Sometimes an itch is caused by an irritant on the skin, which causes nerves to send a signal to the brain that there is something wrong at that location. Scratching the itch sometimes overwhelms the nerve endings with signals and causes the itch to go away. (This is what usually happens when we feel itchy).

Sometimes, however, the itch happens from the other end - there is a misfire or false signal in the brain at the location where a nerve signal would be received, and we interpret that as a signal coming from the nerve, where there is actually nothing at the other end to cause a signal to be sent. However, scratching the location where we perceive the itch to be coming from can also overwhelm the nerve endings with signals, which can send signals to the brain and overwhelm the receiving end and cause the itch to go away.

Source: had a neurologist (¿ I think ?) girlfriend who did a study on phantom pain in amputees. They could stimulate bits of the brain and “trick” people into feeling their phantom pain somewhere else where it could be treated, or feeling itchy, sometimes on existing limbs; sometimes the itch would be on the non-existent amputated limb.

He arrives neither early or late, but precisely when he means to.

I’ve been bitten by a horse, snake (twice, years apart), cat, red back spider, dog (twice, weeks apart). What’s your count?

 
 

(Not in response to the previous post; it’s an honest weird coincidence)

 
 

Is it “Camel-uh” or “Cam-ahl-uh”?

When I switch applications on iPad, and switch back to Firefox, it opens a new blank tab every time. But doesn’t happen on iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices.

Has anyone else seen this?

Firefox 123.1

iOS 17.3.1
