You know how the paint stirring sticks you get free from the HW store when you get a bucket of paint have that little curved in section? It's not there to just be the "handle", it also helps you scrape paint of out the roller: http://i.imgur.com/a6C5kjc.mp4

Phlegmish posted:A lot of hits were covers, especially in the sixties through eighties. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is a cover, and the original is a bitchin' power pop tune. Same with Hanging On The Telephone. Back in college (circa 2003) my trivia team lost a pub trivia night because one of the middle-round questions was, "Who originally wrote and sang 'I Will Always Love You'" and no one believed me that it was Dolly Parton, and they all thought it was a trick question so they put "Whitney Houston" and we lost those points, and the final round was a Final Jeopardy style "bet your points thing" and we got it right, but without those extra middle-round points we only got third instead of first and I'm still bitter to this day.

Krankenstyle posted:ive never heard of this either No offense dude, but that's nasty. Regardless of any cavities or lack thereof (are you regularly going to the dentist and KNOW you don't have cavities? It's very possible to have small ones that you can't see yourself and don't actually hurt for a while before they get big enough that you notice,) your breath must be GNARLY. I can guarantee you that all your friends, family, coworkers, etc... notice your nasty breath, yes, even if you brush right before leaving the house. And on a personal note, don't your teeth and mouth just FEEL scummy? When I wake up in the morning, the first two things I always have to do ASAP are piss and brush my teeth. That sum feeling grosses me out so much, I can't eat or drink anything before I brush (not even water, feels like I'm just swallowing my teeth crud.) I brush at night before I go to bed, too, I just have dry mouth so it contributes to bacteria and whatnot in my mouth, so I'm aware this isn't the case for everyone, but seriously...at least brush once a day. Also floss, cause you probably have gingivitis. Edit: And I guess this isn't the first I've heard that you shouldn't rinse after brushing, but I didn't know that you also shouldn't drink even water for 30-60 minutes. I know that's the case with a fluoride rinse, so is this the case only if you have a fluoride toothpaste and DON'T use a rinse? I rinse at night before bed, so no need to eat or drink after. I also have fluoride added to my municipal water.

Hyperlynx posted:Holy loving poo poo! Apparently it is indeed a true thing that dentists say you should do. I can't believe it. It does mention the not rinsing, but it doesn't say not to drink for 30 minutes. Though if one were to just think logically, obviously drinking anything soon after brushing would, in effect, be the same as rinsing. I do wonder the minimum I have to wait...I'm always very thirty in the morning and, as said, hate drinking even water before brushing.

Question about these bidets: Just how powerful is the stream of water? I have this idea in my head that they are basically a water fountain-level of force, maybe a bit more. Because, just speaking from my own experience, if I'm taking the type of poo poo where I feel like plain ol' dry TP ain't gonna cut it (insert the old joke about trying to clean peanut butter off a carpet here), then a teeny-tiny stream of water ain't gonna cut it. My rear end will get wet, and now I just have a wet and lovely brown eye. And if I try to then use TP, it will just shred to pieces and now I have a wet, lovely rear end in a top hat covered in TP pieces. So are you supposed to just drip-dry? Those type of shits practically require a shower, where I can use a full force massaging shower head to blast in there, you know what I mean?

At 37, I just got the phrase, "Smooth move, Ex Lax." I hadn't ever really thought about it, especially why you call the person Ex-Lax. If you had asked me, I probably would have saod that because it's a laxative, that's simply funny enough on its own. Anything poop adjacent is funny. Oh wait...It's a laxative...it gives people smooth moves, i.e. smooth bowel movements.

Speaking of Wheel of Fortune (and Jeopardy,) I didn't realize until my mid twenties they're syndicated programs and aren't always at 7:00 and 7:30 on NBC for everyone (Jeopardy at 7, Wheel at 7:30.) By a coincidence, when I went to college, the syndication package for both was ALSO the local NBC affiliate, and they also chose to air Jeopardy at 7 and Wheel at 7:30. After college I moved to an area close-ish to where I grew up, so got the same local affiliates there. It wasn't until I took a business trip for that job and went to Florida that I noticed it was not the same.

Were they pterodactyls, or pteranodons? Dinosar and dinosaur-adjacent animals have a HUGE taxonomy problem, at least when it comes to lay-person terminology. Don't get me started on the whole Brontosaurus thing. But also, when looking at a wiki article on Pterosaurs, it seems that some 19th century paleontologist thought they might have been some sort of flying marsupial:  quote:In 1843, Edward Newman thought pterosaurs were flying marsupials.[91] As the bat model correctly depicted pterosaurs as furred and warm-blooded, it better approached the true physiology of pterosaurs than Cuvier's "reptile model".

Phy posted:I've been telling people that a recent study concluded that Brontosaurus was different enough from Apatosaurus to constitute its own genus after all, making Brontosaurus a thing again. No, that's the gist of it. Some guy way back in the 1800's found an Apatosaurus, another guy found a Brontosaurus. Then a short time after, other people just said, "Oh, Bronto is just a slightly different species in the same genus as Apatosaurus, so we should stop using that name." But it was already out in the wild, and somehow got to be the preferred nomenclature over the firstly discovered/published Apatosaurus. I read about that as a teenager so I was a smug jerk for a long while correcting people needlessly that there really wasn't such a thing as Brontosaurus...but yes, there is, other studies confirmed they are almost certainly two different dinosaurs. But that was pretty recent (2015) so I wasn't technically WRONG all those other years, but I was a jack-rear end about it. Though it still might not be 100% cut and dry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontosaurus quote:Almost all 20th-century paleontologists agreed with Riggs that all Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus species should be classified together in a single genus. According to the rules of the ICZN (which governs the scientific names of animals), the name Apatosaurus, having been published first, had priority as the official name; Brontosaurus was considered a junior synonym and was therefore discarded from formal use.[23][24][25][26] Despite this, at least one paleontologist—Robert T. Bakker—argued in the 1990s that A. ajax and A. excelsus are in fact sufficiently distinct that the latter continues to merit a separate genus.[27] In 2015, an extensive study of diplodocid relationships by Emanuel Tschopp, Octavio Mateus, and Roger Benson concluded that Brontosaurus was indeed a valid genus of sauropod distinct from Apatosaurus. The scientists developed a statistical method to more objectively assess differences between fossil genera and species, and concluded that Brontosaurus could be "resurrected" as a valid name. They assigned two former Apatosaurus species, A. parvus and A. yahnahpin, to Brontosaurus, as well as the type species B. excelsus.[4] Paleontologist Michael D'Emic made a critique.[28] Palaeontologist Donald Prothero criticized the mass media reaction to this study as superficial and premature, concluding: So might not still be settled, though I think Dr.Prothero is just being a crotchety old jerk who doesn't like change in his field of expertise.

I've never seen it, but I didn't learn until maybe early 2000s that it's not some fantastical tale about a dog who has 101 puppies and that's why Cruella wants them, as if 101 from one litter would make a better coat The 'main' dog couple only had 15 puppies (granted, still like 3 times bigger than a regular dog litter) and Cruella already had 84 other dalmatian puppies ready to go. Edit: And according to the wiki plot summary, even though she looks like she's loving 80, Cruella is actually the same age, or close to it since they were classmates, as the love interest, Anita, who seems late 20s/early 30s.

I guess it's there to explain why he's "friends" with Mario? Sort of a "let's let bygones be bygones" kind of thing?
