Can mosquitos even suck blood from a leech? I feel like blood probably doesn’t taste as good when it’s secondhand.

You also have a decreased risk of ovarian cancer if you completely remove your fallopian tubes, and it doesn’t require an 18.75 year financial, emotional, medical, and time investment to gain.

The faceting community would welcome anyone who wants to create a wine pairing guide for our lickable rocks.

Our girl just had a TPLO in January. The day she comes home, have zero plans and take off work. Your pup will need your companionship because they will feel so traumatized and confused. The next day was a lot better, she was bearing just a little bit of weight.

My dog is always tough and pretends she has no pain, coupled with the pain pills she acted like she could run marathons a week in. It was A LIE and we had to put her on anti anxiety meds to chill her out so she didn’t damage her hardware. 12 year old dogs should not have zoomies but she just felt that good. 😩 Don’t be shy asking for anti-anxiety meds to mellow your pup out if she’s normally an energetic mess. It helps a lot.

Jumping on furniture was also a problem. We ended up putting our mattress on the floor and sleeping there for six weeks so she wouldn’t jump on the bed. We also bought dog beds and put her favorite blankets on them in EVERY room to bait her into not jumping. It mostly worked. Mostly.

We’re two months in now and she’s doing awesome. She had a bad few days last week, after sleeping on it funny, that scared me because she refused to use the leg at first but she just needed time to heal from her self-inflicted discomfort and she’s walking normally right now.

Looks in bread to me.

I’ve been knitting for a decade but only made my first pair of socks during the pandemic. I bought some wool from a reputable seller in fun colors. It was so fun and they were so comfy, I made several more.

I almost never wear anything other than my knitted socks these days. They’re just so daggone comfy and they keep my feet warm yet they never feel sweaty, except on extremely hot days when I’m outdoors.

Wool socks are absolutely luxurious to me now. 10/10 recommend knitting socks if you haven’t already!

3.6 minutes in the context of a 40 hour work week is a 0.15% increase in work. No sane person would consider that clinically significant. If they’re claiming there’s a significant difference of 0.15% between the groups, they’re making shit up.

Some dishes freeze well, so those leftovers can be turned into future meal prep. I liked freezing my chili in silicone muffin tins, then one or two thawed chili pucks was a perfect last-minute meal when I didn’t feel like cooking.

Maybe it was… copious amounts… and gravity utilized the pant leg openings…

Brb gonna puke from my own mental image

Based on the article, the device will host actual kidney cells - I’m sure it won’t be as effective as having your own original kidney, especially in it’s early prototypes, but hopefully it’ll be better than mere dialysis.

Even if the device was just a glorified portable dialysis machine though, that would still be a significant quality of life improvement for those on dialysis. With dialysis you’re locally tethered to the dialysis clinic because you need weekly treatments, until you eventually die or win the kidney lottery. With a portable machine you could hopefully travel, see the world and visit family more.

Be kind to your kidneys everyone, drink enough water! You don’t want a life without efficient kidneys.

I don’t know which episode, but the signs originally said “we don’t take itchy & scratchy money”. Hope that helps!

It’s not actually blue. If there are two full moons in the same calendar month, the second full moon is referred to as “blue”. It will be the same color it always is.

It would be a helluva lot cooler if it actually was blue, but alas…

Holy hell, that’s straight up evil if true. I hope the bad PR ran them out of business.

So when he offered to send someone a duck pic, it wasn’t an autocorrect?

I’m with you on that one. It feels like old people trying to be hip and modern, it doesn’t feel genuine.

I have also never understood why a company would want to actively pressure you into letting them send you things you don’t want. Isn’t it just wasted bandwidth to blast emails to people who won’t ever see or want them? So bizarre.

Do the comments still show after you empty your own browser’s cache too? That seems less likely to be the culprit, but worth a check to be certain.

Elsewhere in this post there’s also a helpful user who notes that the mass-editing programs can only handle a thousand comments. Is it possible this is why some of your comments are still there?

They said the originals do not appear on their account on Reddit. They also said they edited their original posts to be empty. They’re able to edit and delete their modified (empty) comments based on what I understand of their post.

I don’t see anything in OP’s post that indicates Reddit.com itself is displaying the originals, only the search engines are, and the cache would be the reason why.

Search engines do not scrape the entire internet every single time someone searches. They do routine scrapes of web content and create a cache of what was there, and search that cache. This is why updates to websites do not always reflect on searches.

You’re contents are findable on Google because the last time they bothered to scrape that particular Reddit post was when your comment was intact, and they have not had a need to scrape it again since then.

The snort-laugh that I just made after reading your reply disturbed my dog. Thanks for the guffaw!

I agree fake, but only because this knitted piece would require a single noodle many yards long in order to achieve this length. Unless this is a singular noodle of epic proportions, there’s no way this could be done.

A standard ramen noodle would get you two, maybe 3 rows before running out.
