I was back to normal after a couple months, and that was like 10 years ago, so everything's fine now. At the time when it happened, I didn't even really notice. My throat felt tickly and I started coughing a lot, but I thought it was from the cold-ish air, hot jacuzzi combo (it was late at night). It wasn't until the…

People forget that chlorine is dangerous because they're so used to encountering it in pools, etc, but chlorine gas is straight up poison. I was once in an accidentally-overchlorinated jacuzzi (extended-release dispenser broke and released all the chlorine at once) and just breathing the chlorine that evaporated from…

I think this obvious benefit to same-sex parenting is too frequently ignored by the mainstream media.

Hey, what do you have against homonyms, you homophobe? Stop trying to force your heteronymous preferences on everyone. Homonyms deserve rights, too.

Literally came here to say this exact thing. Glad you're on the same page. We should hang out, be awesome at parties together.

"Prepositions are not words to end sentences with, dickbag."

Given the context, being called an asshole should be considered a compliment. Next time someone tells me I'm being an asshole I'm going to reply "Oh, so I'm the only thing standing between you and a horrible death via impacted diarreah explosion? THANK YOU THAT'S SO KIND."

"The rest of his weekend wasn't pleasant, but by Monday he'd grown a good five inches taller!"

My guess is powdered "cheese" concentrate that when reconstituted becomes dip for a soft pretzel or nachos.

I would love to make the directory more self-explanatory but unfortunately the folders on some of our shared drives have particular names that we're not allowed to change for a variety of confusing reasons. I wouldn't need to do any of this if our directory was organized in a way that made any sense at all, but that's…

One other thing that I regularly use .txt files for is as makeshift banner notes in folders on a shared drive at work. If I need to be sure every person accessing a folder understands a basic piece of information about the folder, I'll make a .txt file where the filename is a short notice to users. For example, in one…

I do this too. At my office I frequently have to use different desktops and my browser bookmarks don't migrate with my computer log-in, but my personal drive tied to my account is always there, so I save all bookmarks in a .txt file there so I have them on any computer. I am frequently the savior of training classes…

This is a problem I have with .txt files: no spellcheck. It's fine if it's just a personal note for my own reference, but if it's anything anyone else might see, I worry about hidden spelling/grammar errors.

Add "jumping off really tall buildings" and you got yourself the most concise summary of that game yet.

I just had to look up EDS because as someone with a sleep disorder, to me EDS means "Excessive Daytime Sleepiness" and I was very confused as to why that would make it painful for you to run. After reading the Wikipedia page for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, I can say that I've learned something new today and also that I…

Well at least you guys have all that socialized healthcare to go back to after you get kicked in the teeth over a 40% off flatscreen.

I'm from Cincinnati and even I don't understand the chili. Who first decided to put cinnamon and sugar in chili and how high were they?

So, uhhh.. is your friend single?

Welp, that's what I'm calling that game forever now. Thanks for that.

You have to give her SOME credit. It's hard to make it in journalism these days when you're secretly a cat with a lime on its head.
