I don't want to piss some driver off or get stuck with no way to get this thing home. (Some searching pointed to UberCargo, but it doesn't seem to be an option in my app/city?)

I've used taxis in the UK to help me with home moves. Only thing they don't do is help you with the boxes, so I was stacking them in the black cab myself. The driver was fine with it, he was being paid to sit parked outside my house whilst I loaded up for ten minutes, and then got paid for the drive, and again for the unload. He was even happy to do a second trip with me. So yeah, I'm pretty sure an uber is fine with your chair purchase. Just whop it in the back, they might even put it in for you to prevent it scratching anything.

ChairMaster posted:Also not every song that's ever existed will be presented to even a tiny fraction of those 8 billion people. There's a shitload of songs that I've never heard in my life, countless published works, and untold numbers of songs that have ever been created that were never published in any capacity. I used to wonder: if a radio station played every published song exactly once, would it ever be finished? Or are musical albums being published at a rate greater than they can be played at normal speed? I suppose the definition of "published" is a bit murkier these days.

Is there a drug which can reliably induce clinical depression? I tried looking it up, but there are just warnings for widely varying drugs that might induce depression or insomnia or headache or rash or nothing at all. I'm curious because 1. Such a drug might help understand the biochemistry of depression and 2. The withdrawal symptoms from that drug would be Totally Awesome.

Bitters is used in dashes all over bartending to very noticable effect. It can make or break some cocktails, and all bitters have unique tastes so one is wildly different than another. Have a bartender make you a soda water or two with different bitters. For inventory purposes a dash is considered .02 oz

I will throw a small amount of cayenne pepper into chicken noodle soup, like a half teaspoon in maybe a 2 gallon pot. It doesn’t add a noticeable spiciness, but it does add a noticeable flavor.

Jeb! Repetition posted:What is prune juice? How can you get juice from something that's dried?  they're dried but still contain water. my guess is it's squeezed out. but prune juice is meant to help digestion due to it's high fibre content. so maybe the prunes are just blended up with water or something.

Pretty sure it's made by stewing them. The laxative effect isn't due to fiber. E: Just looked it up real quick. The laxative effect is due to high sorbitol content. Anyone who's eaten too much diabetic candy in one sitting can attest to the effects of too much sugar alcohol. Hipster_Doofus fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Apr 20, 2018 |

It takes a special kind of broken palette not to taste trace amounts of alcohol in anything. Booze isn't like peppers or other flavors, even minute inconsequential amounts still pass through your cell walls like a phantom and tickle your brain. You may not taste it, but a keen friend of Bill W's would.

I'm in the U.S. I got a letter that I was summoned to jury duty. I was supposed to fill out an online survey within ten days of receiving the letter, but I didn't get this part until today (20-ish days after the letter was sent). The last time I was summoned for jury duty, there was no online survey, I just had to call in and see if the trial was happening, which it did not. What do I do?

HappyKitty posted:How much would a person have to weigh in order to stand permanently atop a mixture of corn starch and water? The short version is - it varies. I'm assuming when you say "a mixture of corn starch and water", you are talking about a non-newtonian fluid which acts like a liquid when standing still and a solid when force is applied. Most people get to see this in school at least once and it's easy enough to do at home. When I saw it in school, my teacher called it "oobleck" from the Dr. Seuss story, so that's going to be what I call it. So, you want to know at what point could you put a person onto this oobleck and have it remain solid without having to constantly apply force*. I'm not smart enough to even google this correctly, because there are several factors that would alter the answer. Weight of the person or object, volume of oobleck (which depends on the size and shape of the container), and density of oobleck (which would be a factor of the ratio of cornstarch to water) are all going to factor in, as it the surface area of the weight being applied. A person weighing 150 pounds standing on their on two feet is going to sink and probably quickly, regardless of other factors. That same person standing on a 4ft square of wood is going to sink slower. If the container is taller than it is wide, the speed is going to be different than if it's wider than tall. Again, someone smarter than me could work out a formula to give you a specific answer, if you know all the other factors. But as far as I'm aware, there is no single right answer to this question *That last bit is important because if you keep your feet moving, you can stay on top of a tub of oobleck indefinitely.

was playing frisbee at the park, whiffed a catch and the frisbee slammed into my outstretched middle finger. it hurt real bad and became really stiff and sore. been a day since, and the swelling has gotten worse and so has the bruising, and I can't fully close my middle finger, it just jams and hurts if I try to. I figured I just sprained it and it's no big deal, but now I'm thinking I may have fractured it. when I look at it straight-on, there's a little bump at the knuckle that makes it look a tad lopsided, but I can't tell if it's just swelling or not. doc's office opens up on Monday and I plan on going then to check on it, but is there any rush in sorting out a fracture or will I be alright waiting a couple days? I'd feel like an idiot if leaving it for a few days potentially makes the healing process worse, but I can't be arsed going to A&E and spending hours waiting just to find out it's a sprain.

Here's a weird one, I tried googling this but got nothing: I was just called out by an older gentleman for leaning my bar chair against the bar while I took a piss. Supposedly, this is offensive to military/ex-military people Because Reasons? Supposedly been a thing since the Civil War? This was the forth thing he deigned to bitch my ear off of the night (the bar, the bartender, and something on the TV), so my response was something along the lines of "I can't even bother to figure how little a poo poo I give over someone offended at that", but I'm curious what this guy was griping about.

This is the bartenders job really. I do this all the time to old shits and creeps. "Hey, Hey! America, and this bar, isn't for just one rear end in a top hat, it's for everyone! You don't own poo poo, your name isn't on the building! So leave X alone or gently caress off!" Is the usual script. Not his seat, not his chair, gently caress you buddy I know my rights is the only appropriate answer.

Nah, he wasn't really drunk as far as I could tell. The only tell that he could've been was that he seemed awful grumpy compared to every other time I've interacted with him, though, even before I committed any chair-related sin. He burned any potential sympathy or extra respect by making GBS threads on my bartender, though, so it's not like I'm going to abide by his seat-leaning request in the future.

A lemon, lime and bitters is sold as a non-alcoholic drink because it's below 1.15% ABV. A bowl of punch with a dash of bitters in it is going to be even lower than that (much lower - more like 0.03%). There's no way you could taste that.
