You may want to look into a condition called EoE also known as Eosinophilic esophagitis. If that’s the problem, you’ll certainly want to see your doctor.

Like everything in this world, I think it’s situation dependent.

I traveled for work, and would live out of a hotel room for 4-5 weeks at a time. I have a gaming laptop that doesn’t fit in the bin while going through TSA. Always got comments about it. But damn, if I didn’t love setting it up in my hotel room and leaving it there during my tour and being able to play some games during my evenings.

It was WELL worth it!

I would start by asking my question over at explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world

This is a great take.

This cat is a purring machine! She was only available for adoption at the shelter for one day. The staff knew she’d be picked quickly.

But yes, winning at life. I read somewhere you should record their purr so you’ve always got it.

Nothing more than it’s widely accepted

Well, what’s wrong with Bitcoiners trying to make their currency widely accepted too?

that it’s backed by yet another widely accepted from of currency

So it’s turtles all the way down, is what you’re saying?

(usually; gold)

Not the USD, which is the worlds most widely accepted currency.

This is all gross-oversimplification, I realize, and I don’t particularly want to get into the weeds on this topic, because it’s only of passing interest to me.

Yes, I agree that this is gross-oversimplification. But if you don’t want to get into the weeds, why make a claim about something you don’t understand and don’t have interest in?

What is this “real” money you speak of? What makes it real?

Shouldn’t it be one of those “OK” symbols. You know, the “Made you look” game where you create an OK symbol with your hand below your waist.

On the computer thread, changing the keys on their keyboard is also fun. Works better if they are a touch typist as well, as they may go several hours/days before noticing, until they have to look for that one special key. :)

In all seriousness, there is a radio lab episode out there talking about tiny black holes. Apparently, they might be all over the universe, and can sometimes hit earth, create a massive crater that has no meteorite debris, exit the other side of earth, and could be an explanation for all the dark matter around the universe!

It was a really fascinating episode, and I highly recommend giving it a listen!

This is a very objective question, but I’m going to say you must travel to 4 countries, 2 of which must be across an ocean, and 2 have to be to countries that speak different languages than your native language. Feel free to mix and match.

My favorite was “WATTGAS”

You and me both, brotha! There’s dozens of us!

Unfortunately, the other was a salted.

Sausage party was that movie. And yes, it was as bad as it sounds.

That’s what she said?

Aha! That’s good to know. Thanks!

Well, I went searching for it again, just to downvote you. 😉 But still can’t find it.

Beats me. 🤷
