DireWolfSpirit Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 This is not going away, its growing exponentially- https://www.yahoo.com/news/great-pacific-garbage-patch-contains-203057130.html The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now twice the area of Texas, and one of 5 such plastic debris fields throughout the Worlds Oceans, all growing larger and choking marine life in their swath. We need to be better stewards than this, this is not sustainable living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in this small Scandinavian themed town in the mountains outside of L.A. There was only one public bathroom and I let him go first because he's a germaphobe and I knew he'd clean the stall before and after. Well he must have used too much toilet paper because he emerged with the thing overflowing like crazy and the water wouldn't stop running and he's screaming, "It's not my fault!!!!" We ran. A visit to this magical place is now on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I never realised until this afternoon how much more at ease I feel during the recruitment process/interviews when every point of contact is female. Or maybe these people were just genuinely lovely. But whatever, the way they all treated me meant I left feeling kickass and beaming from ear to ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbigski Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 My friend was talking about how his five year old found his KISS dolls in the basement and he was shocked that little Nick knew about them. Nick said he'd seen them on Scooby Doo. And then months later Nick found dad's KISS albums and said apparently "dad, wait KISS is real!?!" Happy little rock dude. Theyre his favorite band now im told. Also got a disturbing text that my girlfriend's parakeet had a pretty severe jaw accident today and may have lost his lower beak. (Got his beak caught in something). Was told by a that parrot type bird beaks will grow back if the root sort of area wasnt torn out and you hamd feed them in the mean time. He still has a tongue and beaks seem a bit like toenails so that it seems semi plausible at least that it could grow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Missed my train yesterday quite literally by one minute. As in, I ran up to the doors (having sprinted through King’s Cross underground, in skirt, blouse and heels, with an overnight bag and handbag) as they were slamming them shut and had to face the horror and humiliation of watching the train slowly pull away. (For anyone unfamiliar with the policy, once those doors are closed they aren’t opening them again and delaying departure, whether you are there are not). So that was a costly mistake, since I had to buy an on the day ticket to replace mine, which WTF how are they so expensive?! I won’t say exactly how much, but it was creeping towards triple digits before the pennies... eta: also running in heels has left me in agony today. What a foolish choice on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Sith! Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I have been reliably (I assume) informed by Popular Science that in the human brain: Quote Every single neuron contains about 0.07 volts of electricity. A human boasts 86 billion of those stimulating little cells, which puts the charge inside your head at about 6 billion volts. That's like having 477,777,777 car batteries hooked to up to your noggin at once." No word on whether science is working on a way to harness that energy to recharge your cell phone.
