In the states, is döner kebab basically the same as gyro or shawarma?

Thanks, I hate it.

Do you have a source for that? Genuinely asking, I use a VPN and would like to read more into it

See I’ve heard the opposite, at least for deer. Deer seek out salts since they grow antlers every year which takes a ton of calcium, so peeing on trees makes them target the bark where you’ve peed. Not totally sure tho

LSD and shrooms are not addictive, and they actually have some really good outcomes for certain mental illnesses, such as depression and PTSD. I know several people who were suicidal and depressed teenagers whose entire outlook on life changed after one trip at a somewhat young age.

And also, those years aren’t exactly right for the generational categories. Millennials are 1980-1996, boomers are 1946-1964, etc.

Not a doctor, but my understanding is that excessive electrolytes are hard on your kidneys. Most people do not need an electrolyte drink everyday, unless they are athletes/regularly working up a sweat or missing salts in their diet

Pinot noir and Swiss cheese, or a nice smoked Gouda or anything with goat cheese. Actually I think I like most cheeses, but I’m much more picky about wines. I mostly drink drier reds, Pinot being my favorite now but used to only drink cabernets and malbecs

Shoot, probably Dell? This was a few years ago, but it looked just like the Dell ones that are currently on the market.

Also, the house still has a vague burnt plastic and lithium smell, especially noticeable when I’ve been away for a day or so. I think our couch absorbed all that smoke smell :(

Ice cubes do have some smell, now that you mention it. Humans have an amazing ability to smell moisture, which we evolved for being able to find water sources. So your experience with AC could relate to how AC affects the humidity in the air perhaps.

And in context of this thread, smell is one of the largest factors for our experience of flavor. Without a sense of smell, most foods would taste relatively bland.

I’m curious what foods taste least bad to you? Also, did the surgery involve your tongue in some way?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I’ve ever owned.

I’m not an expert on this, but I’ve worked with fresh and saltwater aquaria for years and here’s what I can say: food grade plastics should be fine to use, since they are not supposed to break down in water. I 3D print a lot, and PLA is not safe for aquaria because it is made of plant material and biodegrades in water over time, while PETG is generally safe for aquaria – but you have to be careful of what dyes/colors are used, same with ABS and nylon so long as they say ‘food grade’. Fish are pretty tolerant afaik, while invertebrates (especially crustaceans and cnidarians) are typically more sensitive to contaminants. That said, polypropylene (PP), and high density or cross linked polyethylene (HDPE or XLPE) are considered safe so long as they are virgin plastics (not recycled material). The surface and porosity makes a big difference in how long the plastics will last before biofouling – basically, microbes will form a biofilm and eventually other things will start growing on the surface, but periodic cleaning should keep this from building up. Also, keep in mind that each type of plastic has different tolerances to temperature, pH, etc., and the age of the plastic matters.

As an aside, there are micro/nano plastics everywhere. It’s unavoidable at this point. One of the biggest concerns for aquaria is other types of contaminants – other chemicals that are added to plastics (e.g., BPA) and heavy metals used in pumps, heaters, etc. Electronics and their plastic housings eventually fail, surprisingly often and quicker than expected at times, and the stuff that leaches out can cause a lot of harm to the animals, not to mention if a heater cooks the tank or just stops maintaining temp and the animals get too cold.

Realistically, if old equipment still worked then people wouldn’t necessarily just get rid of it as soon as something new came out. I’m not that old and the only 2 things I haven’t used were rotary phone and mix tape (assuming CD mix ‘tapes’ and personally recorded stuff on tapes also don’t count)

Ooohhh I totally forgot about renting movies from the grocery store!

Maybe we can add palm pilots and tvs where the channel changer was a knob you had to adjust

I got 18 and I’m not even 35 yet lol

Aww this is amazing! Did you end up keeping the puppy?

Can confirm. My cat literally yells at me when it’s raining bc she doesn’t like going to the screened in porch while it rains. I guess they see us use the sinks and shower and assume that we control the rain as well

My friend from highschool said she was driving with her little brother in the passenger seat, and he apparently flipped off a cop. She told me the cop actually pulled her over and wrote her a ticket. This was a long time ago so I have no way of knowing what the ticket was for, or if this friend was telling the truth, fwiw. However, it’s always been my impression that cops can make up some BS charge if they want, and then it’s basically your word vs that of a cop *
