I envy people who can fall asleep this easily.
But to assuage the anxiety of these lucky people: you can get pillows with speakers inside or a cloth headband with earphones, both of which would be impossible to accidentally swallow.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

I'm suddenly very glad that my sleeping problems have nothing to do with sleep eating, that would really suck (even more calories into my gullet)

Probably not significantly higher than any similarly sized lump of plastic.

I imagine they would if you could somehow dissolve the hydrocarbons(in the plastic) and metal within the airpod.

Pikabooze!
My concern with that story is the description of water not going down. I have dysphagia and let me tell you it doesn't just drain back out like opening your mouth and drooling. In the worst case it's around an hour of pseudo-vomiting phlegm. Each little sip, even swallowed saliva, builds up above the entrance to your stomach until enough is accumulated for your body to eject it, but no stomach acid since things are closed. You basically can't do anything for 15--90min because you're focused on breathing without choking and spitting instead of swallowing.

To be fair, Edinburgh is not the city anyone would associate with a 5 generation 18 year cycle of parenthood.

Edinburgh is 100% dry shites. The driest of shites in fact.
Glasgow is the better, more casual of cities. God I love Glasgow.

I'd recommend locking down the Nobel in physics before you put yourself in position where you could eat it if you have an actual physical magnetic monopole.

I like that the implication that the writer likes huge women, because the 10 smaller gals are not as "handsome".

This is incident was later adapted to film but the producers decided to exaggerate it as "A Thousand Elephants".

I came here to post this. It's a neat video, but holy hell that headline. :allears:

quote:

In Dr. Mehta’s eyes, one unexpected insight of the experiment was the resilience of eel memory. School breaks and holidays often interrupted eel training, but still, Benjen remembered the ramp. In the future, Dr. Mehta hopes a student will come along who wants to teach Benjen new tasks. He continues to live in the lab, where he still undulates, uninvited, onto the ramp, awaiting big squid.

Wait, is that a happy ending or sad ? Are his uninvited ramp undulations being rewarded with squid ( :) ), or is he forlornly awaiting squid that will never arrive ( :( ) ?

This whole thing is very dumb

Fully cooked, prepared, served, then slowly frozen by an idiot and mailed across the entire country to a lab

No conclusive DNA of any kind survived, I wonder why

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That's because DNA isn't magic and the sampling was done in the worst way possible.

What’s irksome is that the article is very explicit in pointing out that they didn’t find any tuna dna, but the fact that the test failed and therefore nothing can be said about the tuna content is described in terms that are likely to go over a layperson’s head.

Also a big lol at the poor lab technician who had to put a bunch of subs in a blender before loading the PCR with samples of beige sludge
