I'm trying to remember the name of a late-1980s made-for-TV science fiction. I'm about 66% sure it was a Sunday night Wonderful World of Disney production, but if so, my google-fu fails me. I remember only three things from it, any of which I freely admit MAY be from other shows, but which I believe are all from the same production:
Does anyone else remember this?

I bought a nice suit for work, and it is my first time having a Nice Suit, so here's a stupid question about that: the labels say I need to dryclean both the jacket and the pants at the same time because that way the colour will fade consistently over time so both parts stay the same colour. That makes sense, but how much do I really have to stick to that? The pants are machine washable and obviously I want to wash them more often than the jacket - I only ever wear the jacket when I'm actually in a room with a client which is not a huge part of any given day compared to wearing the pants all day. Getting stuff drycleaned is also a huge pain compared to just putting some pants in the washing machine. Can I still wash them every now and then normally or is it going to become super obvious very quickly if I do that? Also if this differs by material (which I suspect it does) is there a general idea of what different materials do, given that I'm likely to buy other suits in future?

I've never bothered with any of that poo poo. Unless you're a klutz who spills coffee on your crotch every day, chances are you'll get too fat for the suit before it fades and/or it will fall out of fashion anyway.

What's the purpose of the cylindrical design structure housing the ladder? I've always assumed it was to break your fall but I don't know for sure https://i.imgur.com/XO2DTn8.gifv

What do you guys recommend to clean the inside of a windshield? I've seen people tout invisible glass as good, but also see people just using Windex

If you're vaping in your car I recommend the RainX for interior windows stuff. Vaping adds a certain something to the glass that's hard to see through in the winter.

I saw *two* people clean the inside of their windshields while stopped at stoplights next to me within the same day last week. Never seen that before in my life, then twice in the same day.

You shouldn't halt your course of antibiotics unless your doctor tells you to.

Estate Agents were telling me I need to mow the lawn. I'd been holding off as I'm currently unemployed and living on savings, and most gardeners charge quite a hefty sum. Figured it was more financially frugal to purchase a cheap Flymo for £60, and use it throughout the year. Only problem is, it does a terrible job of getting the edges of the lawn. What tool do I use to cut the edges? Preferably the cheapest way. Just go and buy some shears?

You should ask one of your neighbours if you can borrow their edger/whipper snipper/weed whacker or whatever you call it in your area. You should do the same with a mower and return that thing you bought as well. Repay your neighbours with baked goods or some other equivalent gift. Community is the most frugal option.

I have a stellar community, and would get inundated with offers of help. I just didn't want to put people out of their way or - worse yet - borrow a lawn mower and potentially break it. I'm 27 and have never mown a lawn in my life, and a contractor who did work on this place before we moved in left bits of rubble all over the place. Was scared to borrow one and have it hit a stone. I'll definitely ask about shears.

I mean if you're really stuck for money you can spend an extremely horrible day snipping it with normal scissors or pulling it up by hand. But yes the borrowing from neighbours.Qubee posted:I'm 27 and have never mown a lawn in my life Did you never have a garden or just someone else always did it? Not judging just curious.

As a teen, we had a gardener. I moved out at 17 and have been living in apartments my entire life. Either the backyard was entirely paved, or there wasn't one at all. Moved into a new place with the girlfriend and I'm sorta playing the stay-at-home-dad role until I find a job, as she's working. It has a proper garden front and back and I completely underestimated just how fast grass grows in the summer, and how expensive gardeners are. Which led me to leaving it too long and now it's like a little jungle and doesn't look very nice for everyone walking by it.

I'll definitely ask about shears. Eh, if I were in your situation I'd buy a 6 pack or two and ask a neighbour for help. Explain you've never mown a lawn before and you don't want to break their equipment but also need to get it done. You can shoot the poo poo, get to know eachother and have some beers while they show you how to work the equipment and what to look out for, if anything. Seriously, I can see how it can kind of be a 'project' if you've never done it before but mowing a lawn is piss easy, and I'm sure that if you offer some beers or whatever in exchange for some help they'll be happy to.

No, the most common treatments for the condition don't have dangerous interactions with common antibiotics. If you're worried that a specific treatment will though, you can check for drug interactions with WebMD's tool, it's reliable for this: https://www.webmd.com/interaction-checker/default.htm

I'd never heard of a Flymo; according to Wiki it's a lawn mower that hovers! According to the same wiki, "JEsus used the mower to mow all of israel." There's also some stuff about Hilary and Trump. Anyway, how much needs to be edged? You can hang a regular push mower over the edge of a curb and get the grass that way. Takes forever because you're hitting such a small area each time. Can a Flymo do that?

Viola the Mad posted:Of course not. Hence the question--is treating the yeast infection pointless while I'm still taking the antibiotics? No. But you might need to re-treat it. See, the antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria that normally keep the Candida under control. The anti-fungal will still kill the Candida even without the help of the beneficial bacteria, but it’s possible that the Candida might come back before the beneficial bacteria do. It’s always worth taking the chance, in my opinion, because you might only have to do it once and you’ll get at least some relief in the meantime. The good news is that the antifungals, even an oral antifungal, don’t affect the efficacy of the antibiotics themselves.

You know how it is, where there is a big school shooting, a dozen kids dead, and the United States goes all crazy about wanting to control guns and make some kind of change, and for a good week we're all like, this time it's different, it's gone too far, we're going to definitely do something about it, and then nothing happens? Or like when a white cop shoots a black guy and the nation is all like, this is unacceptable we must do something it's time to change. Or whenever Trump does something and we're like, this time he's gone too far, we won't let him get away with it this time, this time we're going to actually do something? All this poo poo lasts about a week, two weeks, and then is severed with like a social guillotine. It just goes away, and collectively it's like we forget we were passionate about something until the next time it happens. Anyway, I say all this because I'm wondering if there is a word for this? The phenomenon where a group of people or a community or just like a mob becomes broadly unified behind a cause but vanished because our collective attention span only lasts a fortnight?

It’s possibly only partially related but this feels intuitively to me like it’s the same kind of social process that is explored in Hypernormalisation. Adam Curtis is rightly mocked by some for his style and his approach to constructing an argument but I think the central points he makes are always pretty spot on.

Adam Curtis is rightly mocked by some for his style and his approach to constructing an argument but I think the central points he makes are always pretty spot on. And it's a late-capitalism theory's adaptation of the psychological issue known as learned helplessness, where due to a barrage of negative/traumatic events, a person becomes so used to bad things happening that when faced with such things in future that are patently and obviously avoidable, they've been effectively traumatised into believing the method of avoiding that trauma isn't actually possible. Hypernormalisation (and his previous term '"oh dear"ism') captures the idea of this on a collective consciousness of a nation. That America's collective societal consciousness has been traumatised by no-one doing anything about it before such that they accept that it's just always going to happen. Even those who break out of that cycle try and say that things are possible, the national consciousness looks at, say, the multiple bills the House Democrats have sent to the Senate, see that Mitch McConnell just threw them away, and instead of being outraged and doing something about it, just sigh and accept it.

It's officially the start of the week in the Christian calendar. While we consider Monday the "start" of the week it's merely the first day of the "working week" - the week is Sunday to Saturday, they are called the weekend because they are the start and finish. That and it gives people a day off work to rest ready for the shift in time. JesustheDarkLord posted:Did we ever get those girls back from Kony? Those girls are mostly dead or resigned to their fate. The LRA is a shell of its former self and struggling to carry on outside of small pockets. The government stopped considering Kony a threat a while back. The Kony 2012 video guy having a nude meltdown is still hilarious though.
