Traditionally, Mineral oil + fragrance

Mineral oil is also known as paraffin oil and is usually a petrochemical derivative composed of larger alkane hydrcarbons. Fragrance varies a lot.

In English this is called swamp ass.

Nope, Google doesn’t care about search operators anymore. Hasn’t for a number of years. Have to use a different search engine.

Yeah, Texas industry has already been mentioning it’s worry for farming, construction, and restaurants.

Have you already been drinking? Champagne is the drink, Champaign is a town in Illinois.

Cardiac arrest is heart stop beating (e.g. damar Hamlin? The Bills dude the other year). This is when you see a flatline.

Heart attack or myocardial infarction means the arteries that keep your heart oxygenated get blocked, cardiac tissue after the blockage of that then starts dying. The heart is still beating (or trying to beat).

Couple of drunk kids managed to ramp off a curb and get their car stuck like 6 feet up in an oak tree. Right side up. Front and back of the car were both smashed in right at the middle points so they must have got more air. Not sure how they got the car out without cutting at least one major tree limb but they did. Tree was still alive and fine as of 2023.

I’ve done some karate, wu shu(gong/Kung fu), and Tai chi. Thankfully, my instructors never got into the BS of chi or Feng shui.

I do think doing the physical work without accompanying mental work is missing out on some stuff though. Your physical status goes along with mental status and vice versa. Whether you choose to perceive that as chi, chakras, or just plain mental control(what I choose) is up to you.

That’s an interesting take but with our term lengths that means a 15y can vote for president and senator but can’t vote for a house rep.

Kid ain’t even born yet and I’m stressed about childcare, money, and the general state of the world.

Does the podcast still have to be in English? And what topics are you usually interested in?

Paperback. I’ve sometimes waited for paperback versions of books after their initial hardcover release. Cheaper, lighter, same reading, I used to be less patient so would suck it up and get the hardcover, nowadays I don’t read as much so waiting is easier. I read a lot when traveling and hardcovers are just such a pain. The only “nice” collection I have is LOTR+hobbit.

I’m trying out an eReader soon but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get away from the desire of physically turning pages.

I’m a 2 on the scale unless i try (I can do 1 but it’s not fast or easy for complex things).

Visualization isn’t usually an active thing for me. But when you say “think of a car accident” I can visualize one generic car t-boning another on a generic road. If you ask me to describe a room in my house I visualize most of the things there and described based off that visualization.

Hugging, yeah. My joints(knees, shoulders, back) are too fucked for what play wrestling is between guys, I forget that when I see my brother after a while but I get reminded right quick. No snuggling, but I’m also not usually on a couch when we hang, still probably not.

There’s a non satire versions of this around.

Pretty sure this goes against discord ToS because Discord wants to do that themselves.

Just happens to be that the US lost citizen’s united.

Tinnitus is a constant whine. Other actual noise helps prevent having to constantly be thinking and feeling the whine because the “white noise” has your ear dealing with other things.

It isn’t the reason everyone listens to white noise but people with Tinnitus could help themselves go less crazy if they listen to white noise.
