Solice Kirsk posted:Next time lie on the bed and put both feet in at once then hop off the bed and pull the pants up at the same time. I call it the "Ol' Flop n' Hop." Nice. A variation on this is to roll backwards onto your shoulders to pull the pants up (legs in air, obviously) then swiftly roll forward to power off the bed.

Yeah, but it's imported and I don't feel like paying billions* of dollars for a teensy little can anytime I feel like a taste of the good doctor. I know Costco has it more cheaply too, but I live in Tasmania, a place so uncivilized, we don't even have Aldi.

I think the effectiveness of not-shampooing really depends where you live. I managed to last a couple of months in a rural Australian city, but the first time I went to an actual metropolitan centre, my hair went crazy greasy. So to sum up: Somewhere on the Mongolian steppes, yes. A major industrial city, no.

Either your tolerance for blood is incredibly low, or you haven't seen an actual natural and uncomplicated childbirth. hawowanlawow posted:baby's on fire is a banger and it's just one big guitar solo Presuming you mean the Brian Eno song. The solo serves the song though which is Good, rather than being an intermission, like most solos, which is Bad. Also, it's Robert Fripp, who is Ace.

Just lol if you aren't just fertilising the pile of eggs your brood wife laid in the breeding chamber. Seriously though, having been there for the births of both my daughters, it's not that messy. Though imagining the end of Akira as a maternity scene is kinda amusing. Luckily, my wife must have been built for pregnancy. No crazy and she was working and active til very close to due dates. Just a weird craving for sour flavours with the first (vinegar went in EVERYTHING) and coffee with the second.

The problem with sleep is that you don't get to enjoy the full experience because your brain is shut down for most of it. I think 8 hours of the comfy dozing you do after just waking up but before you get up would be swell.

veni veni veni posted:it's loving garbage that there are like 50 Marvel movies and Dredd, the one great comic book movie bombs and never gets a sequel. I feel if production on Dredd had happened three-four years later, we'd've had an awesome premium anthology series on a streaming service rather than a single movie. The comic would be prime for that, but the whole premium series thing wasn't happening then. yeah I eat rear end posted:I'd be down with a sequel if they put Rob Schneider in it to tie it together with the better one.

steinrokkan posted:The reason Dredd was good is that it effectively isn't a comic book movie, it's an action movie, and if it got the treatment you talk about, that wouldn't be the case. You can have action and you can do it in an over the top way, like the comics. I felt they were a bit conservative with the satire part of the comic, maybe because they didn't feel it would gel, but Fury Road did action and went over-the-top quite successfully. I liked Dredd, but a series would translate the comics much better.

PJ Harvey after Rid of Me isn't that great. It was all down hill after this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKLiU7Hq93w In fairness, music was perfected in 1993/94, so its not a fair comparison. I mean Green Day in on Dookie is better than American Idiot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42BBdzzgPNM (why yes, I was in my formative teen years in the early 90's - why do you ask?) Seriously though, I found To Send You My Love rather dull and repetitive compared to Rid of Me, but I just prefer my music a bit raw.

doverhog posted:Let England Shake and The Hope Six Demolition Project are both masterpieces. It takes real talent and confidence to make a concept album about WW1, or the refugee crisis. Huh, I hadn't heard of either of those - the singles from Hope Six didn't grab me, but I'll have a listen to England Shake a bit later, it seems my kind of odd. I totally agree that there's no point repeating yourself and I think she's had an interesting career, but it doesn't necessarily mean I'll enjoy listening to it.

The best underwear is worn out boxer briefs that have lost some of their elasticity lol. I feel like I should mass produce this idea. basically boxer briefs that aren't spandex tight. I always felt a push-up bra cup instead of a front panel on briefs would supply ideal support and ventilation.

A quick glance at the US shows its legal in NY and illegal in WA but the wording in the latter is unclear. Interestingly, you might be cited for causing congestion if you didn't enter the intersection in the latter, depending on context. Obviously, each state will have its own law.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Yeah love to get back pain because every kitchen counter, stove, and sink is built for people at least 10 cm shorter than me. (I'm not even tall.) That's why, as a majestic 198cm person (about 23 mushrooms), I ensured all benches in our renovated kitchen are about 5cm or so higher than standard. Suck it, future shorty, who will have to deal with it when I'm dead. On the other hand, I have to get the little old ladies out of the top cupboards for my wife, who isn't quite as tall. I also literally have no decent long pants at the moment because buying pants longer than 34 inches is impossible in Australia and civilized countries with long trousers don't want to mail them here at the moment.
