I'm looking for a way to both keep track of the wines I try, and to find info on new wines. In particular, I'd like to be able to search by characteristics. And all without being tracked or nagged to pony up for the premium subscription. Thanks.

You said the scar is very thin, so you might get results from an over the counter product like Scargo, especially if the scar isn't too old. I've used it successfully before.

I do buy yarn from places like knitpicks but I also love to spin my own yarn. Would you like to join us on the dark and twisty side? You won't get hooked, I promise.

Excellent. I do this all the time, answer the wrong question. But yes, you are completely right, check pulse with your fingers. I feel very close to you right now.

I binged the whole thing the other day. Addictive, although gory and laden with F-bombs.

She's surprised that the supreme court would strip rights away from Americans? Good thing she doesn't need an abortion. I have only contempt and tiny violins for her, while I am filled with rage and terror for my trans kid and hir trans wife, and my gay mother and her gay wife. And for my disabled self, of course. When they come for one of us, they come for us all. It's the code of the freaks, and this woman forgot that.

Let's turn the question around. You benefit from the many things other people's taxes have provided, even before you were born. You were probably born in a hospital funded by taxes. The hospital staff was educated by public schools and federally subsidized student loans. You drive on public roads, and are (at least in theory,) protected by publicly funded cops, firefighters, and military. (I did say in theory.) You probably get your electricity, water, sewer and trash pickup from a public utility - even though you pay for your usage, you still benefit from the public expenditure to build and maintain that infrastructure.

So the real question is how is not paying taxes not theft? You'd be a freeloader, stealing from the rest of us.

Oooh, this sounds promising. We have a local server. And my Sense 2 can go a week between charges. Thank you very much. I'll look into it.

Awwww, thanks. Isn't life just full of these messy, scary, oddball realities that no one ever tells you? I found so many of them in parenthood. Aging looks like more of the same.

Good point. Thank you.

We're all android and Linux here, but thank you!

 

My partner and I are getting older, and sleep in different rooms at different times. We've both worried about the other dying unbeknownst. I wear a pulse watch, but don't know if it will do what I want. Any ideas, friends? I'd like us to be able to glance at a screen and see a heartbeat, ideally without spending more than a couple hundred dollars, and without too much hassle or cumbersome equipment. I appreciate any suggestions. (edit - we use android and Linux.)

Um? My whole body? I don't really understand this question. All my body parts have issues. I wouldn't say they're causing problems, though. I have an illness that causes problems, my body is doing the best it can. Never blame your body for experiencing pain. It's not its fault.

 

For an illness that affects so many people, doctors are horribly ill-informed and unprepared. Since me/cfs is often a result of a viral infection, the pandemic has only made it worse. You probably know at least one person who has it, and you can get it yourself any time, no matter how healthy you are now.

 

Such a fascinating project this guy is doing. He's making the most unusual breed study I've ever heard of, making ice cream from the trees of every US state. Plus woodworking.
