it's for when the brown note hits

hey we granted ourselves this wish! now they're not "wars" anymore, just armed conflicts!

aside from harvesting stuff from the seafloor i can't think of any situation where holding your breath for more than 5 minutes is particularly helpful

but on the flipside being able to hold my breath for 5 minutes would be real neat

you're thinking of like, being choked, i presume. the difference is that choking directly cuts off bloodflow to the brain, but if the bloodflow isn't disturbed then there's a decent bit of oxygen stored in the air in the lungs and in the blood itself.

this is how animals like whales can dive for hours at a time, they store oxygen in their blood.

The thing that actually makes you feel the need to take a breath is buildup of CO2, not lack of oxygen. My understanding is that holding your breath isn't really about the amount of oxygen you have but rather how long you can resist the urge to breathe, though presumably at these extremes they do have to pay attention to how they feel and abort if they start feeling tired or whatever low oxygen does to you.

also like, yes i'm sure our soles have evolved to be great absorbtion pads, not like we'd ever step on bad things in the wild

all i can say is that i've been barefoot for a couple years now and.. it's fine? never really had an issue beyond cold and sharp gravel (especially when it's on a hard surface)

#1 being that if i wore shoes in the summer i would have to periodically empty out the ocean of sweat in them

definitely don't think about what breathing it in does to you :)

people who care this much about what others wear need to be avoided at all costs

come out ye black and tans, 24/7/365

if 1% irish heritage makes you irish then i should be able to claim citizenship in most of europe

i believe that's what trump has done, hence his colour

get a beer hat or a camelpak but put soup in there

this is mostly just true in america, in europe at least cheap food is healthier, because the cheapest things are stuff like potato and onions.

but really, maintenance is a very key part of the design and if it's ass to maintain then it's just not good..
What i generally see is stuff from companies whose whole business is selling "solutions", you buy a container that is mounted on the wall and then you buy their bundles of tissue that you just slot into the container and close it back up.

When i was working at a theme park they used a system that was fascinatingly well engineered, with tissue bundles that have packaging optimized to be trivial to open, containers that hold like 2-3 bundles at once so there's a buffer between refills, and best of all the bundles have little velcro pads on the top and bottom so you just place it on top of the previous one and then when people pull out the last bit it automatically pulls out the start of the next bundle!

the best driers just blow a large volume of slow moving hot air at your hands, so there's no splashing and the moisture actually evaporates rather than being physically blown off the skin.

ubu nut

so this is how i learn that gmail has AI shit integrated, lmao

the coming winter is going to be terrifying

communists do bad things in the process of doing good things
