Yeah they showed me ET, which I first saw at a very young age. While it might have been a tearjerker for some, it was one of the first horror movies I watched and just watching the clip was a trigger. What kind of sick bastard designs a hor

I get the well-founded distrust of dietary supplement companies (the OG snake oil salesmen), but they've started banning kava, a completely legal food. So... not dietary supplement companies , but a particular food that is completely

> she began taking turmeric capsules at a dose of 2,250 mg per day. That's a teaspoon. The average South-east asian eats close to that much in a day for their entire lives.

You go back to every airline you ever worked for, beg for your flight logs, hope they are willing to provide them, and then over the course of weeks re-enter them into your paper logbook or software. Then you hope that the airline will also

I've seen the word "kiwi" used to refer to the fruit in the US, which just seems odd to me, like calling a pineapple a pine. In my part of teh world its a kiwifruit, not a kiwi. A kiwi is a New Zealander. In fact while they&#
