I don’t think we should use House, or any TV show, as a guiding tool or example for actual real life medicine.

One could even consider it good news that the company doesn’t get a tax break from money donated by the customer.

I don’t get the metal on metal reference, sorry… Is that an imagery you want tattooed?

I don’t know if a tattoo is material… I guess the ink is, so I’ll go with that.

Before coming of age I had plenty of ideas that I would be slightly embarrassed of today (and being slightly embarrassed is, as we know, the worst possible outcome with tattoos from a past you’ve outgrown).

I’ve changed my mind enough over time that I now know I could never decide on a permanent design. But right now I’m really into face spiders. Hopefully that notion fades by the time I feel secure enough in my career to do face spiders…

Tough to differentiate bots that only vote from human lurkers who only vote.

I love the Ruru-Morepork poses going from absolute cutie, to actual maniac, to “I’m batman”.

…but the dramatic head tufts and cape of the Buffy got my family’s vote by a hairs width.

Little owl looks like someone just patted it on the head and it absolutely hated it.

I also don’t like being pat on the head, nor hanging out in the cold. I do like a relatable champion.

It’s not “everyone”… maybe just locally to you?

But here it’s “peed” for child and “pehd” for foot, in every word I can think of right now at least.

You can set up and win most bets or chicken races with illusions.

Like throw an illusionary pile of feed off of the path of your opponents chicken, so it’ll be distracted by it and let your chicken win.

Winning a bet can win you anything: from a free chicken dinner for your party, to getting into a party for free.

Your body give you an hour long relaxing shower, or the opportunity for continental breakfast at home before leaving. Generous body!

I can sense when it’s time to wake up, while asleep.

It’s likely just confirmation bias, but I almost always wake up minutes before my alarm if I have a stressful or unusual appointment, like an early flight or interview.

I assume most people has this with their routine wake-up time, that the body learns when to wake up right on time… but this is like: if I usually wake up at 8:30 but now have to wake up 5:45 or 6:15 or whatever, I’ll wake up on my own right before the alarm goes off. I just need to think about it somewhat thoroughly (wake-up time and approx. how many hour of sleep until then) before falling asleep.

Same with dairy. I never enjoyed a glass of plain milk, and after switching to dairy free options for milk I also found that vegan cream, ice cream, butter etc doesn’t have that “off” subtaste. The difference with non-dairy really highlighted how badly dairy makes me want to rinse my mouth.

Have you perchance read House of Leaves? It’s a mess [admiringly].

I aim to articulate my thoughts (praise) during the meal, preferably early on, instead of having to recall the experience once its over. It also makes me more mindful of the meal if I try to find things to note while consuming it.

You likely won’t remember to do so, lol, but if you do, try it!

I prep this by mixing dry lentils and dry rice in a box with a measuring cup on it.

Compared to oven ready meals it’s just the extra step of using the cup to add from the box once and from the tap twice. And you don’t even have to wait for the oven to heat up.

I prep this by mixing dry lentils and dry rice in a box with a measuring cup on it.

Pour mix from cup into pan once, pour water from cup into pan twice, add bouillon cube/stock. Turn stove on medium-low. Wait (take a shower or other 10-15 min activity, or experiment with additional spices into pan). Add veggies like frozen peas or spinach or corn, if feeling fancy. Turn off stove. Eat.

Easy. Predator on a predator.
