Bruceski posted:This is why I'm glad my family's naming tradition is just to put a y in there somewhere that fits. And by tradition I mean "Mervyn and Gladys decided it'd be cute a hundred years ago, and nobody's disagreed yet. No biggie." Sometimes it's first name, sometimes middle. Sometimes it's the more common spelling, sometimes less but still doesn't stand out. Just a bit of a family easter egg. Strong Utah energy

It does make me wonder, if the mom is out of it from pain meds after labor, and the dad were to write down the name he wants, could she contest/have the hospital undo it? or would she have to tell the nurses first so the admin is aware?

She should fill out the paperwork beforehand. Otherwise, well, that's how Major Major got his name.

Mx. posted:My husband (31M) of 5 years said he would leave me if I (29F) don’t carry on his family naming tradition (that he previously said he did not want to participate in) for our baby. I don’t want him to do that but I also don’t want to name my potential son an awful name. What should I do? There was a post a while back where the wife refused to partake in her husband's family's tradition of naming every firstborn son of a generation Gaylord. Unfortunately it turned out to be fake.

My mom's side apparently had a tradition of naming the firstborn son with the mother's maiden name. My mom and dad both swore this was never an option for me, but it haunts me a little. Mom's maiden name and dad's last name were both regular English words that would have combined to make my life really unfun in school. Think like Ms Witnessed married Mr Believer.

I am not a doctor or food scientist but the descriptions of mouth feeling fuzzy or filmy sounds like how my sister used to describe bananas before she found out she has a mild banana allergy. Maybe worth checking out.

It's an extremely common criticism of HFCS soda, but I wonder how real the effect is?

My family has a weird thing where the males go by their middle names. Well, did, when they were alive. Both grandfathers, great uncle, uncle, all went by middle names. They even called me by my middle name until I said I didn't like it when I was 5. I wonder if that's a regional or generational thing, and how common it is. My dad and his brothers always went by first names.

I've known several parents who name their kids then call them by their middle name. It always perplexed me. If you wanted to call them that why didn't you make it their first name?

titty_baby_ posted:I dont believe anyone would ever hire a consulting firm to do an impact report for a wedding I can absolutely believe that someone with more money than sense would do it if the alternative was not getting their own way. I'm assuming the venue was originally fishing for excuses to say no without having to be the bad guy, but when the bridzilla's response to 'you'd have to pay a shitton of money to a third party for a bullshit test' was 'yes, that's fine' someone's eyes turned into dollar signs.

Yeah, it's been a long time since I was at Coke but mouthfeel is part of overall flavor and there wasn't a difference in any part. There's a lot that goes into sensory effects and unless you're tasting things blinded with all other variables the same, there will be things that affect the outcome. Beverage container, carbonation level, temperature, all kinds of factors. These affect taste and mouthfeel. Also, HFCS in carbonated soft drinks is what's known as HFCS-55, 55% fructose and 45% glucose, and has essentially the same sucrose equivalence as sucrose / cane sugar. In the end though, drink what you like, and sensory perception is *extremely* personal and consumers are very frustrating to deal with as a product developer. 😉

Das Boo posted:A million pages back, but I've always hated Coke for the film it leaves in my mouth. Never had an explanation for it and I'm surprised more people don't notice/hate it, but I feel vindicated. Coke always makes my teeth feel absolutely filthy, instantly. Lots of other sodas do this (so I don’t drink soda on the reg), but coke is the worst. E: I live in New Zealand so I don’t think it’s a HCFS thing. My theory is that it’s the phosphoric acid content. I made a trial batch of a chocolate phosphate soda at work at one point and discovered a distinctly cola-shaped bump in our food safety regulations, in that only cola drinks are allowed to have phosphoric acid as an additive.

That it's my father's name instead of my mother's doesn't factor into it. It would probably be a different story if I didn't get along with him. My husband's name still feels like it's not my actual last name.

Quackles posted:As interesting a plan as this is, don't bats bring risks of rabies and coronavirus? There are only a couple of cases of rabies per year in the US, usually from bats, but you're basically worrying about a lightning strike at that point. With the caveat that if you come into close contact with a bat, or get a bat anywhere in your house, you should get a rabies vaccine because rabies is 100% fatal if you do get it and it can be hard to tell if you've been bitten. You could also just get the vax in advance and not worry about it. I would still consider a bat house a net public health benefit because they eat mosquitoes and other bugs that transmit disease, especially if you're in a tropical climate. Pretty sure there are 0 confirmed cases of bats transmitting COVID to humans, you're far more likely to catch it from the HOA board than from the bats at either rate.

e: ^^ pnurtis wasn't in the original post lol lyssaviruses are a bad time, don't touch bats. it doesn't happen often but people often are not touching bats don't let your horses touch bats either I (30sF) am having a hard time knowing how to say "no" to my coworker (20sF) about giving her money because she might have rabies quote:I have a coworker who is very attractive. Seriously beautiful. Over the past 5+ years that we've both been at our jobs, I've watched other coworkers encourage her to try modeling/youtubing/etc about fashion and beauty, which she tried, and she's now kinda famous in social media spheres. As far as I know, she's not actually like "movie star" or "famous actor" famous, but she has millions of followers and has made quite a bit of money off of her channels. She also gets into clubs a lot for free these days, and gets a lot of VIP treatment in certain places. As she's gotten more perks, she has stayed sweet, but she's gotten more and more of a "bad things can't happen to me" attitude, and a kind of "oh, I don't have to worry about that" kind of attitude about certain things. Like, she's started to believe her own bullshit and just image that her life is always going to be perfect and amazing. It's made her harder to work with, but she's generally still sweet, even though she talks about herself a lot. Mx. fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Nov 17, 2021 |
