I wear the same pants until my wife tells me to stop. I just don’t care enough and hate laundry too much to change more often. Underwear and socks - never more than one day. Pants can get a whole work week if there are no new stains.

Wow, claustrophobia may disqualify me from my future plans to be an astronaut (along with my >40 year old Dadbod).

You’d hope that there is nothing underlying it. Weird for the femur in particular to fracture like that.

Only about 25% of the money comes from ticket sales and it’s not like the stadium will be empty. Some fans might even appreciate the fact that this will mean their franchise quarterback is not going to get killed.

That assumes that they will be happy paying him that much money year after year not to play. He will get paid and he won’t get injured. It’s a win win for him because regardless of how long he holds out, there is always going to be someone willing to give him a contract at the end.

And that was the last time that Ireland lost to Argentina too. God. And here we were thinking this could be our year. Both Ireland and France showed the negative consequences of the battering that they gave each other last weekend. They basically played each other out of the world cup in an effort to avoid the All…

I don’t have a sticker but I am damn proud that I finished a half-marathon. I have crappy knees and a crappy hip and I finished behind two heavily pregnant women (something my wife still regularly reminds me about, laughing) but it was still a great feeling to just say that I had achieved something I didn’t think I…

I thought that was strange. The big guy wasn’t even looking at him and all of a sudden this tiny idiot starts slapping him in the face.

Presumably (hopefully) he was dead before the rotating and pulling went ahead. They would have had to cut the muscle and skin first with their little knives. Is there any way of knowing if he was dead before the ritual started or if he was killed specifically for or during this ritual. Horrible either way.

In retrospect, I think that the best way to think about this is as a historical record rather than art. It is a true depiction of a scene from another time and it cannot be replicated. It feels wrong to hasten its inevitable demise by allowing it to be exposed to light repeatedly. That said, you are right to say that…

I don’t know what the fuss about being the person to see the original is. Why not make a print of if and hang that outside the red curtain. Hang a modern salt print next to it to show people what the real thing might look like. Never been a fan of destroying art so that the masses (and I include myself in that) can…

Not everyone is on reddit. It is fully referenced with multiple links to the original author. I have no problem with this.

That ain't right. For an average person on an average diet with normal kidney function, you need to drink about 750mls/day of fluid to get rid of accumulated toxins and metabolites. Any more than that is overkill unless you have kidney stones. This recommendation is no truer than the 8 glasses a day one. Fat or thin,…

Ha. I remember well when Chesterfield (I think, some horrible bottom-feeing club in the old 4th Division) won multiple consecutive league, cup and European Cup trebles in Sensible Soccer. The always reliable swerve kick.

When I was an intern, we called the nurses the Borg. Whenever anyone messed with one of them, everyone in the hospital knew it straight away and that person’s life became a misery.

Sounds like the doctors were being nice to that guy when they said “exposed” to TB. More like has TB, methinks.

Can I not just enjoy my cup of coffee without someone reading into it excessively? It was only after I left Ireland that I realized that there is more than one kind of tea (more than milky with sugar, that is). Tea snobbery is a growing, irritating thing just as much as coffee snobbery.

Number 1 for me. I read it once a year at least.

I would never have thought of Joe Abercrombie as YA. That said, he himself said this book was aimed at younger readers. Most of his stuff is fantastic but not really child-appropriate.
