My brother is an audiologist and hates doing a certain hearing test, because it’s boring. The way he describes it, he hands the patient a button and a pair of headphones, then goes into the next room.

He has a row of dials. He turns the first one until the patient pushes the button. He writes down how high the dial got, then turns it off and moves on to the next dial. Repeat for like 20 dials.

Then at the end, he has to draw a graph BY HAND, highlighting certain features.

There is precisely 0% chance that this requires a trained audiologist to do. Maybe to interpret, but not to collect data.

I do this - it makes it taste better if you emulsify the jelly into the peanut butter. Qualitative differences ftw!

Thank god for this comment! Reading these comments is like: “Genocide is good sometimes” “People have too many rights” “We should stop trying to make this better” “Man, this Pokémon game is good!”

Doesn’t “pollution” refer to material that is released into the environment? We could make an argument about uranium mining being polluting (because it is), but operating a nuclear plant does not create pollution during operation.

I could see those things, except what’s wrong with my shoes? I’ve never heard anything like that before.

Dude, kids are gonna be bullied literally no matter what. Sometimes for no reason at all! It’s the parents’ job to help the kids deal with it in a healthy way. I don’t see why you’re pretending they would be “martyrs” any more than I was a “martyr” for my right to… have a few more freckles than the other kids.

Oh no, did Dream do something?

This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.

Not quite, actually! I mean, it’s not good for you, but once it’s in your digestive tract it mostly passes straight through rather than being absorbed. The vapor over the liquid is more dangerous, but once you’ve swallowed it that’s not a concern.

People have only had luck with me when they’ve spoken English. Otherwise it’s hard for me to understand their answers to such questions as “your place or mine?” or “dear god what are you gonna do with that spatula?!”.

Thanks for a genuinely interesting reply! While I learned something from you, I still don’t know when I’d “go out with preloaded mags”. I don’t know what I’d expect to find out there which would require that sort of preparation, ha!

Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?
