I learned Pitman shorthand. It combined with cursive English makes it so only a few elderly women and I can read my diary.

Simply put, it’s not a very effective antiseptic, isn’t more effective for wound cleansing than running water, and further damages the tissue, impairing healing.

Here’s an article about it impairing healing:

It’s practically untrue. The size of the wound required to introduce enough hydrogen peroxide into your bloodstream to produce a problematic amount of gas would be a much more pressing issue. Unless you’re pouring large volumes into a gaping wound, the positive pressure of your cardiovascular system will keep the majority from finding its way into your blood.

And that 145 is just those who noticed. I regularly have to self administer injections and they’re often nearly painless once you’re used to doing it, especially with small gauge needles.

I just started listening to this thanks to your comment and it does not disappoint, even if it’s not terribly surprising so far.

And Alamo Car Rental!

Bingo. What’s more insufferable than a person whose life revolves around lauding their own achievements? A room full of them.

Here’s an old but short one. I was selling my Xbox 360. A couple comes to pick it up, so I start it up so they can test it out. Red ring of death. It never had any issues before. I was so flustered and embarrassed that I just gave it to them.

This is a great idea! I also get tons of time wasters. We once had over 10 people flake on picking up a free couch. I could instead list things for cheap and just give them away to whoever shows up.

I’ll start with one that happened over the last two weeks. I had a weight set I was giving away. I was first contacted by a fellow who was interested but couldn’t pick it up for two weeks. He asked if I’d hold it for him. For two weeks. WTF. I refused and told him that I’ve literally never had anyone follow through when I’ve held items, so hit me up in two weeks if the posting is still up.

He calls me and lays this sob story on me: his mother needs it for physical therapy but they don’t have a lot of money. They’d pick it up now but his father is out of town with their only vehicle for two weeks. He promises me that he’s a man of his word and he will keep his word to get it if I keep mine to hold the gym set. My inbox is already blowing up from others wanting to get it, so I know I’ll be able to offload it, no problem. I decide to give him a chance and hold it.

A week later, I text him to verify he’s still interested. He assures me he is and that he’s so grateful I’m holding it. I text him again the day before he’s supposed to pick it up to check again. He tells me they bought a new set instead. I respond, telling him how I made an exception to not holding things and he gave me his word. He tells me to go fuck myself.

I relisted it and it was gone within two hours. Just for giggles, I check a few local listing apps later that day. My former weight set is now listed on Facebook Marketplace, using the same picture I had, for $100.

The ABC contacted the birth worker, but she declined an interview and advised reporters not to contact “any of the women or families I may or may not have served, past, present or future”.

Fucking galaxy brain thinking there.

Goddamn, we’re at around $4.10-4.20 per gallon here. Same as Hawaii, 33% more than NYC. Gotta love the PNW.

To be fair, there’s a portion of Trump voters that just believe him because they’re idiots who don’t pay attention to any news and lack even the most basic critical thinking skills. I know from firsthand experience as several of my family members are in this category.

They’re not red hat wearers but voted for him because they’re poor and he said he’d make things cheaper. They’re surprisingly not racist, but their stupidity supports racism.

I really miss ten years ago, when I had a faint glimmer of hope that he might not be a complete piece of shit. He really showed his character with the “pedo guy” debacle and has been on a steep downward trajectory since.

1+ for koreader, it’s so much better than the stock Kindle reader.

Looks great, bravo!

It doesn’t, it still has some exclamation point action that might be the issue. If it helps, you should be able to copy and paste my example markdown. I gave it a try and it still works.

I believe this is what you’re looking for:

Looks like:

As a music performance major, graduating in four years with no summer classes required 16-18 credits per semester plus about 3-4 credits worth of zero credit courses. The joke was that college was either the worst four years or best five years of your life.

I ultimately switched to an even more difficult degree but graduated after 5.5 years. I had a blast.

Same, except I also changed my major twice more and bombed out of two semesters. Employers give zero fucks. I was just discussing earlier how none of them even verify my education and I work in a pretty technical field requiring specialized education.
