Because having the option of using a micro SD can provide additional storage that is significantly less expensive than buying a phone with larger storage capacity.
That is seriously not helping lol. I will concede though that it could be one of those things better tasting than you would imagine. Like the first time I tried the off the cob version of elote (Mexican Street corn.) A cup of hot corn with mayo, cheese, and chili powder? I thought it sounded bizarre at the time but holy shit - I ate the hell out of it and wanted more lol.
Thank God that responsible people who only have the number of children they can afford never experience unexpected life changes! It's almost like an invisible dome protects them to keep them healthy and financially stable until adulthood. /s
Shit happens. Being less judgemental of others makes life easier and happier for those around you AND yourself, plus it's free!
Weird. I work in hospice. We somewhat regularly get patients signing in because of COVID/COVID effects, but I can't recall the last time someone signed in because they had "really bad flu." It's almost like one is still significantly worse to get.
"to my understanding most cards in the US are credit cards"
This statement confuses me a bit, but I guess that adds to the misunderstanding? Debit and credit cards are tied to different types of accounts. Which you're using depends on if you have the money and want it immediately removed from your checking account, or if you want to "borrow" and pay the total once a month.
When I helped my sons open their first checking accounts and got their debit cards, we had to "opt in" to not allow overdrafts and to have purchases cancelled, but that option would expire once they hit a certain age and would have to select it again. The backup to that is if you have a savings account, the accounts can be linked so that if you were to overdraft, the extra would be taken from savings to prevent overdraft fees.
These are all great things, assuming you have money in the first place. If you believe Americans are using credit cards more often than debit, it's probably 1) because CC companies incentivize us to do so, or 2) people just generally don't have the money to meet their needs in the first place, so juggle and borrow funds as they try to keep their heads above water.
A titer test can check for immunity. I started working at a hospital late 2019 and they drew blood to test for certain immunities. At 48 years old I discovered that contrary to what my mother said, I indeed did have chicken pox at some time in my life lol. Also due to a slightly incomplete record, I ended up with some boosters - MMR being one of them.
It's been years since I looked at it, but there's videos on YouTube showing just how awful most "self defense" techniques are. Sure, it's great as long as you're prepared and it's a predictable attack by someone who knows the routine and cooperates.
This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, but I've never voiced it because I didn't feel like taking on the "you're an idiot" stares.
But seriously, I drink a diet soda and I'm supposed to feel shitty because "soda is bad" while someone chugs a sugary glass of juice and that's supposed to be healthier? Can I compromise and drink a Fresca? Lol
I support you on the moisturizing thing, but can't follow you down the coconut oil road. I can't stand the smell of coconut. Being someone who burns easily in the sun, I chalk it up to many years of smelling shitty fake coconut scented sunblock products.
As a massage therapist, I have to wash my hands constantly. During the colder months I have to moisturize or my skin cracks. Whatever unscented product that doesn't leave me leaving greasy fingerprints all over the place is usually good enough until I wash my hands again in another hour.
It needs oil. Oil will break down the adhesive and shouldn't be hard to clean off of a sealed/finished surface. I've used anything from a few drops of cooking oil to peanut butter (doesn't run!) and let it sit. Depending on the adhesive it could take minutes or hours, but typically makes removal much easier.
Not when Cook County did it in Illinois. Zero sugar/artificially sweetened drinks were taxed at the higher rate, yet sugary fruit juices got a pass. I live on the border of Cook and Will county, so I just shopped at grocery stores outside the country. I'm not sure how long it was in effect, but they ended up cancelling it.
LMAO - I haven't seen anyone do that before. Everything after the ? is for site tracking info, so you can remove it. There was a post about it sometime in the last couple weeks that gave examples and where to chop it off to not offer more tracking info.
After the birth of my first child I ended up with a hemorrhoid. Truth be told, I was scared shitless to touch anything down there for a couple days after the trauma. They had given me a squishy bottle to rinse myself while everything recovered. Warm water from the tap was heavenly lol.
Overall? It's poorly drawn. Occasionally you might come across a random "deep" toilet design, but most are much lower. As long as it's deep enough so that my poop is submerged so I don't have to smell it waiting to flush, I'm satisfied.
I so seriously miss Art Bell. That show was a special flavor of creativity and chaos at a time where the standard was to have screened calls and a more scripted show.
Those parents are retirement age and the "child" is balding with a comb over.
