I was going to say!

The OP was using the fancy new icons...

Over what time frame? Of course anyone who can maintain the willpower to get on a diet and stick to it can loose weight, but the evidence shows that the vast majority will put weight back on in the medium/ longer term. The attitude of depriving yourself to loose weight (as well as the body's reaction to quick weight loss) can contribute to a damaging cycle of weight loss/ gain.

It seems to be better to focus on eating better and being more active to improve overall health, and if weight loss happens at the same time then that's great.

My pet peeve is this but for signage in general. Workers put out a temporary flood or road narrows sign, but forget to remove it again, the net effect is just people learn to not notice signs as much, and works against safety.

Still regularly see signs about masks obligatory, keep 2 m distance, and one-way systems from covid. They're just part of the background now, people don't even see them. And next time they'll be that much less effective.

I didn't think I had one, but when I read yours I remembered mine.

If I see someone parked carelessly all the way over in the side of the space, I'll park nice and neatly right in the middle of the space next to them, not allowing any extra space for their selfishness. I'm OK with squeezing in and out, and my car is much older and less valuable than any of theirs if they damage it, so I feel like I'm doing society a small service by making my weird passive-aggressive point this way.

I've heard their wings can break your arm, so it might not be just as simple as that. Still probably a good first step. But if this happened when he's out swimming where he can't stand, that would be an advantage for the swan.

Why did you think crocs had holes that size? Haricot are probably the most widely eaten bean in western (croc-wearing) food cultures, so it seems like an obvious design choice.

From what I heard, that flight did not go high enough to be in 'space' by the generally accepted definition, and also those passengers did not meet the criteria to be called astronauts (basically you need to do something while you're up there for it to count).

Yes, that 'void' would still have fields running through it - electric, magnetic. Whatever the fuck gravity actually is.

The universe apparently has an edge, so maybe on the other side of that is the absolute nothingness? But does it really exist in any meaningful sense? If spatial dimensions themselves are part of what ends at the edge, there kind of isn't an other side.

Maybe not really existing is part of the definition of absolute nothingness.

Have heard some great ones in Glasgow. The best part of you slid down the inside of yer mother's leg.

Always finish a shower with cold water!

UK forestry (as far as I've seen) mostly consists of felling sitka spruce and lodgepole pine monocultures that were planted right after WW2 and never taken care of again. As a result the wood is shit quality and mostly goes for pulp/chipboard or biomass.

Higher grades of timber need to have straight grain and less knots, so that is achieved by selectively thinning out the forest maybe every 10 years, and pruning off lower branches. But this adds a lot of man-hours and cost, so I've never seen anyone doing that in UK. Tbf I haven't been around the industry at all since COVID, and the price of timber went up so much maybe things are changing.

What do you think it shows?
