Dad died in 2021 at age 78 he was sick for a long time and at lest he had the option of MAID (Medical assistance in dying). He went to palliative care and I think really that is what happened. He never said, the staff never said but they we

I never got one since the doctor didn't like the look of a birthmark on my arm. I don't have that puffy scar. My sister got one though. Damn I just though I could have been a left arm bicep model.

Thanks but the 100% battery capacity is hidden but still accessible otherwise you couldn't ramp it up past 100% that's why I say it's 60%.

People that know about the 80% trick may then only charge it to 80% of the 80% which now shows 100% which would be 60% (if my morning fog brain is getting it right). But if they know it's actually only 80% when showing 100% they'l

Cassette tapes were better than vinyl which seemed old to young people although they were cheap. I bought a John Lennon 45 when I was 12 years old all I knew of were 45 records. But yeah cassettes were whiny you got used to it due to their

Imagination I feel is something that is not learned. Like soft skills some people seem to be wired one way and can't change. Some people can effortlessly imagine. I think imagination is like language you see stories of children abandon

The fast growing and never ending vegetables seem to be the ones people don't like. Zucchini/courgette, squash, spinach I have piles of it but people don't want it not even friends and family. Root vegetables are not spurned

I thought the study meant the stuff used at the end after washing. Here in Canada bars and restaurants after washing dishes must rinse dishes in a disinfectant bath and let the dishes air dry. The rinse aid sounds like something in the soap

I'm 54 and I can't stand most of people and society now or at least here in what is mainly US/Canada. I can't imagine what it would be like at 100 if I make it that far.

Any discussion on any forum in the early to mid 1990s you would often see a comment "don't flame" (aggressively argue or insult). Argumentative people were not seen as normal by people on a BBS or forums of the time. Even cas
