So what you’re saying is that if I have the time, I should put zero and let the system pump in VC money, then tip in cash. I’d be modern Robin Hood.

StrixNebulosa posted:Right okay how do you stop hiccups This is a page or so back but... Do you know how you can do that air-swallow thing and make yourself burp? Well, what you do is that just as you think youre going to hiccup again and then force out the burp. You can also pre-empt it and do it. Yu want to get the swallow on the hiccup, then burp straight away. May take a few tries but it will hit at the same time and the hiccups will stop.

It is my secret belief that drinking water with your head bent is 100% effective, and people who complain it doesn't work just do it wrong.

My partner can just pause and focus and tense some kind of abdominal muscle and just turn off hiccups. She'll hiccup two or three times and then just stop. She also cannot explain how she does it.

While my hiccups went away and I've been hiccup-free since, I really appreciate this thread rising to the occasion with hiccup cures, thank you all for solutions for this universal problem.

why does seeing someone else yawn make you need to yawn yourself?

When I was a kid my uncle suggested I try this to get rid of hiccups, and what instead happened is I got a shot of water right into my nose and after I coughed fluid out of my mouth, nose and eyes for a few minutes, the hiccups were gone. After all this time, I'm finally ready to ask: is that supposed to happen? By which I mean, is the idea of telling someone to drink this that they will gently caress it up, and in the comical mess that follows the hiccups will be gone? Or is there some other way drinking from a cup like this can have any beneficial effect? This is the same uncle who "taught" his kid to swim by throwing him off a boat, so possible I just have a lovely uncle. gently caress, he also calls his mixed-ethnicity grandson the N-word. gently caress he also exposed himself to me once as a kid when I was taking a bath, too. gently caress. credburn fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jul 17, 2020 |

I think the general idea is that it makes you engage your abdominal muscles and forces you to regulate your breathing, both of which are supposed to help.

StrixNebulosa posted:Right okay how do you stop hiccups Doesn't help when you are the hiccuper, but I have had an almost 100% success rate with telling people who have hiccups that I will give them 5 dollars if they can hiccup again. I've been doing it for about a decade. They can never do it. I don't know why it works but it does. When I have hiccups I tell myself I can buy something specific that i want if I can hiccup again, but it only works about half the time. Probably because I already know whether or not I'm really gonna buy it. There's no challenge. But it still works more than it should. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Jul 17, 2020 |

I'm thinking of a rectangular, flat, solid, slightly flimsy piece of sugary candy. It comes in fruity flavors but the one I know is usually a dark purple. My recollection is they market themselves as kinda healthy despite being full of sugar. What is it? edit: it might be this thing

I pulled a vent cover out of the ceiling today since it had a broken latch and I wanted to open it for airflow, and the inside ridge was full of rat poop. I have lived here for 3 years and never seen a mouse or rat. It looked ancient. Should I be concerned or should I hold off and wait to see if more evidence pops up, since it may very well have been sitting there for a decade for all I know.

This is just a question of procedure, not politics, and I apologise and will remove the line of questioning if the discussion goes that way. If Ruth Bader Ginsberg passes away sometime in the next month (knock on all wood she has many healthy years left in her), can the Republican party force through another nominee to the Supreme Court, or do the Democrats have enough numbers in the House(?) that they can stall until after the general election?

The house has no role in the confirmation of SCOTUS appointees. The confirmation would sail through.

On numerous occasions in the past, mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, presidents sent SCOTUS nominations to the Senate in the morning and the justice was approved by the afternoon. That means there is no constitutional barrier to a very rapid confirmation. And you can bet that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would move heaven and earth to ram a justice through, even if he had only a day (or a few hours) left to do it.

Desperately trying to find a tweet from last year that had what I think was a screenshot of Tumblr and a description of irony levels or online posting brain. Uh my question is how the hell would I narrow this down or find the specific thing I'm looking for. I recall one of the levels was laughing at 9/11 jokes.

If a certification exists, it's probably just part and parcel of training under a funeral director. It's not uncommon in the UK for coffins to be carried by professionals rather than family. Like the Ghana meme, but with less dancing.

I thought maybe it had to do with something like if they needed a fill-in to carry the casket, but it just seemed like a weird thing to be certified in. I was kind of wondering if a pallbearer did something different in the UK, but it doesn't seem like it. Thank you!

Maybe it was a joke? Offering certification in stuff that doesn't need any certification has been a scam industry forever, and paying for one is usually a sign of someone having a lot of undeserved self-importance.
