I guess I started with audio tapes of “Handcock’s half hour” and “I’m sorry I’ll read that again”, then “Yes, minister”, then onto The Guide and later red dwarf…

My local already has advent calendars and Christmas stuff out (only in one isle, not full- blown chraids yet)

Even without any particular care needs or neuro-differences, a lot of kids can sometimes be a danger to themselves when out in public. Our public spaces are not designed to mitigate this, and it tends to happen at a stage when their ability to understand and obey verbal instructions is low (or at least slow), and physically controlling them is extremely unergonomic for the adult (too heavy to constantly pick up, too short to constantly hold their hands).

Tell that to French old ladies. I’ve had the pleasure of waiting in line at the supermarket check out while Granny in front writes a cheque for her groceries, far more recently than you’d expect!

Bottle-o!

I’m not sure how you spell it, actually.

There’s a huge variance around this though. Size of cup, amount of ground coffee used, variety of coffee (robusta has much higher caffeine than arabica), how roasted it is… It might be around 150 mg per cup, but could easily be nearly half or nearly double that.

Bloody small cylinders, always getting stuck in things!

Or “if you think the reason for the result is not correct” could cover it.

So cool that this website selling private islands doesn’t have a standard way of writing decimal points.

Yeah we used to imagine a future where all the household tasks were done by robots, and we humans busied ourselves with intellectual work (e.g. The Jetsons).

But as it turns out, generating text and computer files is relatively easy for machines, but physical robotics in uncontrolled dynamic environments is a tough problem.

All right then, keep your secrets.

Did they take the half nearest the tip? Or was it a left/right split? Or top/bottom?

I think my fav option would be top, then you can just pull the hood over when you’re not using it. Although I can see an issue with it catching on things, and concentrations of stress at the corner of the join 😬

Yeah. Babies need cuddles 😢 Maybe some questions are not suitable for empirical study.

Because of the extreme bendiness of a flaccid penis, and the highly dynamic forces at play in the crotch area during everyday activities like walking, sitting, lying in bed, transitioning between positions, and wearing clothes, people sometimes end up with a pube caught inside their foreskin.

I find “workers” is a pretty good all-purpose one.

It’s not just a bit of nonsense tho, trackies is tracksuit (trousers), and dacks has been another word for trousers/ pants since way before trackies were invented. Also works quite well in “shat yer dacks”

I suspect this is more about the movement. I’m interested to know how it compares if you pee standing, but then sit immediately after.

Anatomically, the sitting position should provide a better path to emptying the bladder, and there are several comments here saying the opposite to you.

I think the very best for emptying is pee sitting, then stand, sit back down, and see if any more will come out.

Yes, in my experience, aquired brain injury is one of the hardest things for people (and their families) to adapt to, but that’s a whole different kettle of fish than Down’s syndrome.

The post talks about the ethics of pre-emptively aborting a fetus that has a high likelihood of "severe downs syndrome ", and this is something many people face irl ask the time. my point is (mainly) that people with Down’s syndrome can have a lot of joy in their lives, and bring a lot of joy to those around them, despite the fact that they will face certain struggles (as so many of us do, in our own ways). And (secondly), although it’s outside the scope of the hypothetical situation in the op, foetal tests for Down’s syndrome are notoriously unreliable.

I’m just saying don’t be afraid. Most new parents want to avoid any chance of anything ‘wrong’ with their child, but nearly everyone has something…
