No. I put it in the air fryer

I once had a really long running bout of hiccups, like more than a day and it was really draining on me and I was very tired. I looked myself in the mirror and said “you don’t have hiccups any more” and they stopped immediately.

Tried it again several times since and it never worked again but for that brief moment I was invincible.

Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford.

Takes stories of errors, mistakes, catastrophes of the far and recent past and analyses the causes of them and what lessons can be learned. Everything from assigning success to personality over circumstance to the “curse of information” to what to do in a plane crash.

Interesting, insightful, exceptionally well written and presented, always interesting and entertaining.

If you’re at all interested in numbers and statistics, and even if you’re not but like hearing experts deconstruct the claims and lies made by politicians and business people, then I highly recommend More or Less also from the BBC.

Montserrat in the Caribbean. Visited multiple times as a kid after the volcano as I had family working there in regeneration projects. Beautiful place, beautiful people, wouldove to see it again as an adult and see how it’s changed now.

We went on a highly illegal and potentially dangerous trip (if the volcano went off again, by the time we heard it, it would be too late to escape) to see the old airport from where you can see directly up the volcano and the path the pyroclastic flow took and covered the terminal building which was half buried in the dust.

There were wild horses roaming and nature was already starting to reclaim the place so the intervening 30 years probably have accelerated that and I’d love to see it.

Even when it does directly affect them, they still won’t care because it affects the others worse.

They’re called ROMs, can’t give you links because that’s naughty but if you use your reputable search engine of choice for Gameboy ROMs you can find them pretty easily.

No, it implies that tinder is just about the worst place to try and find a romantic partner.

Any dating app that was any good at its stated aim wouldn’t be able to make enough money to survive.

By definition dating apps don’t want you to meet a partner, they want you addicted to swiping and tapping and almost finding a partner. If you hook up a few times along the way then that’s just a secondary benefit and keeps that carrot dangling in front of you.

Something specifically designed for hookups isn’t exactly the best place to go for viable dating partners.

So does the golden retriever!

I mean I try not to be a dick about spelling and grammar and stuff these days, but come on!

You need to receive news from a broad variety of sources, not just those that agree with your viewpoint or have a particular agenda.

Al Jazeera obviously have a pro-Qatari but less so than Fox News for example or any billionaire owned newspaper/TV channel have biases.

Aggregate from all sides and the truth will be somewhere in the middle.

Human slaves! In an insect nation!

I think they just mean they weren’t very good at it

Nah, they have an annoying habit of winning

LOL California has the 5th largest economy in the world, bigger than France, Italy, Brazil or India.

Pretty sure they can fix some minor property damage caused by some peaceful protestors and the National Guard.
