Easy if you have money. If a new phone is a financial stretch, then in the short term it can be cheaper to get a nice phone for "free" with carrier lock in (which of course means it wasn't free at all). It probably ends up being more expensive in the long term, but your paycheck can cover it.

Wrong. I breathed in some helium once and it made my voice all high pitched which threatened my fragile masculinity. Very toxic.

Never worked much with cryogenics, but the one thing I learned was to never get in an elevator with (large quantities of) liquid nitrogen

if the elevator stops it can displace the oxygen and that's...kinda bad.

Wait til anon realizes you can look at the cross traffic lights...

Well if you throw a party with 800 people surely someone will know how?

I think the biggest sin that South Park and The Simpsons have made is the disaffected "both candidates suck equally" bit. Essentially advocating for voter apathy is appalling. Just look at the makeup of the US Supreme Court and say with a straight face that "Giant Douche" and "Turd Sandwich" was a reasonable take.

At the hospital, one of the nurses joked that whenever a fellow medical professional walked past a newborn they'd always ask for a hit of that new baby smell. Coke for the neonatal wing of the hospital.

If your baby predominantly smells like shit, you may need to be changing diapers more often...

That's...not what (many) babies smell like most of the time.

Dr. is used extensively in Europe. It's even tacked on to existing titles, where in the US you rarely use Dr. if a "higher" honorific is applicable (e.g., it's usually just "Prof. X," where in parts of Europe it's "Prof. Dr. X").

Do you mean that doctorates in medical-adjacent fields (but not unqualified med school) don't use the term in Europe?

Perhaps parent was suggesting that anything in this chart is indeed part of the human experience, because we can

in some small way

comprehend or "experience" it. An intellectual rather than a visceral experience.

Or not, I dunno.

For their own good, let's hope anon doesn't become "more than friends" with this mantis...

Yeah, but this is (according to OP) faster, which saves money. And, because it's open, if there are features that could add serious value, they could be added in-house.

But yeah, perhaps a bit of a pyrrhic victory.
