  • Maybe they choose the nicer groceries because eating is the only thing they have left in their life to look forward to? Since having children, home ownership, and retirement are all off the table in terms of affordability? Idk, just spitballin.

  • The article doesn't say "bomb jolt" it says "bump, jolt." In case no one actually reads the article.

  • James May in Japan? He went to a concert, but I can't remember the time of day.

  • I've been thinking that for months now, every time I hear his name. And you're the first person I've seen bring it up.

  • I'm not the other commenter, but I've had a Discover card for over a decade, and there have only been 2 places I've ever wanted to buy something that didn't take Discover. One was an obscure website and the other was a small town antique store.

    So to answer your question, I do have some other credit card options, but it's mostly for cash back reasons (I can use the best card for the category each month).

  • I'm an American, 40 years old. Not only have I never used a fountain pen, I don't think I've ever even seen one used in person. School was all #2 pencils, mechanical pencils, and then ballpoint pens, as I progressed through the years.

  • Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I'm sure there are other apps.

    Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don't want to go below your minimum daily calories. You'll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you're starving.

    You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.

    Good luck!

  • My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He's at the end of his rope. I'm trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment...for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).

    He can't afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It's only going to get worse. And there's nothing I can do about it.

    I just realized I didn't directly answer your question: terrible.

  • Klingon coffee is called "raktajino".

    The More You Know

  • I have a friend who moved to the US from India. He says when he first got here he was frequently bumping into people in hallways and sidewalks, because his instinct was to move to the left, and as he eventually figured out, the US instinct was to move to the right.

    The only reason we could come up with was driving sides and the India/British left side vs. US right side. Because he wasn't constantly bumping into people in India, lol.

  • Why not just end the sentence with the word "weapon"? That's the important part.

  • Nance's prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman.

    It needs to be specified if you discharge your weapon and a woman is involved? Because that's...a different charge than if a man is involved? What if it's a woman discharging the weapon? Still phrased like this? What a weird thing to write.

  • I gotchu fam. c/risa represent!

  • I mean, I don't think the term SNAP is confusing. But if you've never used it, or don't know anyone that used it, it's worth defining for those people.

    In the same way that there might be people who don't know that the ACA = Obamacare, there might be people who don't know that SNAP = food stamps. More and/or complete information isn't a bad thing.

  • Always upvote Rammstein.

  • I like LD because of its sense of humor and Trek deep cuts.

    The LD characters are much more like "real" people than the other Trek series to me. By that I mean: TNG was full of people that I would admire and look up to if I were on that ship. LD has people I could see myself becoming friends with. But maybe that opinion reflects the age I was/am when watching each of them.

    If you aren't a fan of the humor, and don't get the deep cuts, then I could see why you aren't finding much to like about it.

  • Like George Clooney and Courteney Cox! Who both made appearances.

  • Murder, She Wrote had tons of DS9 and VOY cast throughout its 12 season run: Seven of Nine, Janeway, Chakotay, Tom Paris, Garak, Kira, Odo, Damar, and of course Q as you mentioned, all showed up at one point or another. And that's just off the top of my head. Some of them were on more than once, playing entirely different characters.

    In a recurring role as Dennis Stanton's secretary: Data's daughter, Lal.

    I've been watching a lot of the Murder, She Wrote Roku channel lately. Like, a lot.

    Edit: Keiko! I had to come back and add Keiko.

  • Zebras seem cool. I don't think Texas has any zebras. They can hang out with the horses...? (Idk if they actually get along.)

    And giraffes! I want a giraffe to come hang out in my yard and eat some tall leaves.
