I once fielded a frantic phone call from an iPhone user who had installed an IOS update and was now freaking out because she'd never seen the initial iphone welcome screens before, and was convinced she'd done something to break it.

I have a variation on this where the radio comes on at 6:25 and I lie in bed until the cat comes to lie on my face and lick my hair until I decide that breathing is a higher priority than sleep.

Nice try, but women in the american military get reprimanded for shaving their heads because it is too 'faddish'

Me too :) I did want to ask what level of accomplishment reading all the book threeefourfiveish times is though.

The engineers at my university always did some really excellent pranks as part of their graduation. My personal favourites:

I was listening on the radio last weekend and they had on a different florida Senator (I wish I could remember his name) who was one of those hard-line pro gun people. He flat out said that this bill was a stupid idea that was going to get a lot of people arrested - Which is probably true.

CUTE!

Yeah - I'd like know too. When I adopted my cat I tried to start him with some wet food on top of the kibble. I started trying with Science Diet on the the theory that's what he ate in the shelter, and I could transition out to something better once he got over the new place freakouts. Wouldn't touch it. Went to a…

Yeah, I started using this corn-based litter called "World's best Cat litter", which may in truth be the world's best cat litter, which is good because my cat poops way more that I thought it was possible for an animal that size to poop. I honestly think it may be that when you get used to a senior's litter box…

I think intent is important with the interviewers and the types of questions. Do they want to know about the condition of her body and how that affects her lived experiences in the world? Or do they want to know about the condition of her body because their curiosity about something new is causing the interviewer to…

Well, the thing that really struck me out of this interview, is that Mock said there is an element to these questions that is asking the Trans person to constantly "prove" their identity, or demonstrate that their identity as a trans person is valid - people aren't asking questions about the medical aspects of her…

I read this more as "we aren't flippant about peanut allergies that might kill people, so why are so flippant about bringing in Whooping cough and Measles, which also might kill people"

Well, I know just the man for the job of getting all those letters finally, finally delivered:

When they get holes or stained enough that I can't bear to look at them anymore. Which could be anywhere from 2 - 12 years.

I once timed a planking contest with a bunch of my friends - I'd gone 1:30 in competition with another girl before I decided the pain wasn't worth it anymore. So I timed the next one. One person dropped out at 0:45, another at 2:15, and then the last girl - this quiet unassuming gal blew past 3 and 4 minutes while…

That's because the ideological basis of chiropractic IS that spinal manipulation can heal all ills, or rather, that illness results from spinal mis-alignment. I know it can vary from region to region (based on how they are licensed, if at all) how hard they hold to this though.

I think this idea is getting more common as people get disillusioned with the shape of the job marketplace today - Now no one expects a job at a company that will last them thirty years - if you can get a job that'll be stable for 5 years you're ahead of the pack.

They stated that their show, about survivalism, is about "traditionally masculine skills"
