Thanks for this. The Silvertunes track is pretty great.

TIL about Big Youth and discovered where the Beastie Boys Ill Communication sample came from (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing).

Just the concept of a plan?

“Invitation to Love”, the soap opera within the show “Twin Peaks”.

Came here for this!

Deep thoughts from Teflon Don.

For a brief moment during Bush(Cheney) years, there was this screensaver with some of the more outlandish quotes from his press briefings.

He had a way with words, and that way was to go nowhere. It was an art form.

Reminds me of an oldie:

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

Yes, right beside the “Turbo” button that you’d never turn off (I mean, why would you).

Some of those were cylinder keyboard locks, like the old bike locks that were vulnerable to the Bic pen trick.

A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.

But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.

For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.

Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

An AI-powered Clippy… have we learned nothing from Star Trek Lower Decks about what can go wrong with this??

This isn’t the first time he’s been attacked.

Sounds like asthma or walking pneumonia even, but I’m no doctor. I recommend getting checked out.

Yes exactly, a game changer for me as well.

I used to use tap water too. I have to highlight why distilled or boiled water is important though. Tap water isn’t sterile and there have been cases of microbes creating infections when used with Neti pots.

Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that has been linked to tap water usage in Neti pots, among other scenarios.

These cases are rare, to be fair, but still worth avoiding with distilled or boiled water. There could be other less fatal microbes junking things up, after all.

I gotta clarify, boiled but then cooled water for use in your Neti pots!

I have nasal congestion due to allergies every morning so here’s some advice that might help you.

You can try a Neti pot morning and night. The NeilMed ones at Costco pharmacies are good.

Use distilled water or boil your own for 1-3 minutes depending on the elevation in the area.

Once the packets run out you can measure 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp non-iodized salt (e.g. sea salt).

For prescriptions, Omnaris might work for you too. Gets things moving and doesn’t have the congestive rebound effect that over-the-counter nasal decongestants do.

All the other advice about controlling allergens is on point too. You can try an anti-histamine (e.g. Aerius) for a week to see if your congestion goes away but allergy meds dry you out a bit by design and gum you up so maybe this won’t have the effect you’re seeking.

You can get a sleep study for apnea but I’d say only if you’ve had actual fatigue related symptoms, not just what you’ve described here.

You could get a breath test for your lungs. Maybe there’s mold at your place. That tightness should be enough reason to get checked out, tbh.

Best of luck!

And she’s in the Spanish original as well, I believe.

Tenet. I’ve watched it probably four times. Got my sister onto it and I think she’s seen it like seven times now.

Very rewatchable. It can make sense but I’d say it takes you at least two viewings to follow along. Probably three.

I wish there was a sequel but I don’t think that’s Christopher Nolan’s style.

I see other Nolan movies listed here. There’s definitely a theme in them with time, story order and apparently, dead wives?

Just watched this tonight for my 12 year old son, coincidentally. He loved the twist!

Tenacious D did the cover I’m most familiar with.

Unless I’m reading this wrong, I think you’ve got those two linguistic approaches reversed.
