Except that you’ll really notice if you don’t get it.
Though I suppose there’s a similar effect with salt and heat, in that if you’re used to high levels even quite flavorful foods may taste bland without them. That’s unlikely to give you headaches, though.
I don’t know how you guys did it, but that clip just showed up on my TV’s YouTube feed so I watched it; that dark circle is a mirror pointed in a direction so as not to reflect the camera — whatever it’s reflecting is pitchy black, but you can see Tarantino’s hand reflected twice in the mirror in that scene.
One of the follow-up questions I’ve asked in this thread: How long after the Display Until date is past does it become too late for them to get a refund, assuming it’s ever too late? Maybe there’s no specific answer, or it’s just a case-by-case random thing, or nobody (including the business owners/companies) really cares honestly
Except for the Red Scare and the Cold War 
(and all those damn Rebels Without Causes and their damn drag races)
Slap Shot was written by a woman?! And that movie was named the #1 Guy Movie of all time by Maxim magazine circa 2002!
One word for that: Parasocial
I’m not following you- are you implying that this is GD territory and shouldn’t be discussed here? Yeah, that’s probably what you’re saying here, but I just thought it was an interesting concept- you’re saying there are people who strongly disagree with your claim and argue against it? It’s not an officially-endorsed theory?
I didnt make any claim.
That is what you were replying to, from another poster.
And would switching subjects not be a hijack? That “claim” would cause arguments. Best in a thread of it’s own. But you started this, do what you like.
I’d say about half the Qs here could be legitimate separate threads in the appropriate categories.
The OP’s @Past_Paper’s idea for mini Qs is good, but IMO lots of full sized Qs are being asked. Particularly for the more specialized categories, the people best positioned to reply will never notice that post #79 of this thread is right up their alley.
We don’t need to ration topics. Spend them freely.
I’m going to switch to answering any Qs I think worthy of their own thread as a linked OP reply in the category I think best fits the Q.
Or maybe nobody here knows.
I answered your questions about the “display until” date, and the UPCs for periodicals, but saw no acknowledgement that you read them.
Yeah, i did also, but not as well as you did. Odd question to keep asking.
But that’s in the whole U.S., where there are somewhere around 285 million personal vehicles. Having 370,000 veh/year stolen is about 0.26% of vehicles stolen.
If you find a book that describes the crust as “fair coffins of paste”, you’ve found the right book. In the Early Medieval years, the crust wasn’t necessarily meant to be eaten.
Right, well at least not by the gentry and nobles, anyway. Dogs, serfs, etc- maybe.
Zactly. What sells papers or clicks is novelty. (Or lies, but that’s a different category of Dope thread). Not a steady daily drip of whatever.
100 Americans are killed every day in car crashes. 50 of those by drunks. That ratio hasn’t changed since I was born. My hair is gray and I’m on Medicare.
It’s a horror, but not a newsworthy horror. Because it’s neither new, nor changing.
I recently heard a description of the origin of the phrase “balls to the wall”", that I’m not sure if I should accept. A lot of old expressions, especially in male-dominated occupations, have rather risqué origins. The explanation I heard for this one was conveniently family friendly.
Does anyone know the origin of “balls to the wall”?
I didn’t, until Google told me.
True. And there was the growing unrest over race.
But while these were things that people worried about, I feel none of them rose to the level of actual problem that the great depression and the world war did. Arguably, the fact that there were no genuine problems at that level was what allowed people to magnify the lesser problems they actually were facing.
Thank you. The governor explanation was given by a tour guide at an historic water pumping station near Boston. As the governor spun faster, two round weights would be lifted up and out, bringing them very slightly closer to the walls of the room.
I’d never heard that before, and it sounded like a sanitized explanation for a young audience. I’m a little surprised to see that cited in the link you posted.
Very cool tour, by the way, if anyone in Boston wants to check it out.
“Man bites dog”, not “dog bites man”- unless it is a pitbull.
It keeps my kids quiet for a few brief minutes, especially if I buy them each a new pack…
