I did binge the entire Breaking Bad season before the final one. Is that o.k.???
I need the bathroom with some frequency, and wash my hands each time. I also wash my hands whenever I’ve handled something while cooking that gets on to my hands (which may be multiple times in one cooking session), and after patting the dog (and sometimes after patting a cat) if I’m about to eat or to floss my teeth, and whenever I’m about to be handling other peoples’ produce, and when I come in from the field or from messing around with the tractor with soil or grease on my hands, and after cleaning up cat or dog puke or cleaning the cat pans. Sometimes it’s just a rinse, sometimes it’s a full scrub, but it’s got to amount to more than ten times a day.
And no I’m not a germophobe. The cats get out of the catpan and come sleep on my pillow. I often eat produce in the fields without washing either my hands or the produce, to test flavor or because it’s there and I’m hungry. I don’t wipe down public surfaces before touching them. And so on.
I think a normal frequency of handwashing depends a whole lot on what you spend your day doing. Some people almost never get their hands dirty and may only need to wash after using the john – and some people need to do that a whole lot more often than others.
The light questions were all wrong for my car. When the headlights go on, the dash lights dim. And it’s okay at night, when i don’t want bright lights distracting me from the road. But it’s really a nuisance when it’s raining. I turn on my headlights so other cars can see me, but then it’s really hard for me to read the dash, because all the lights are dimmed.
I don’t, of course, wash my hands the same number of times every day.
But assuming I’m in bed for about 8 hours, for the remaining 16 I’d be washing my hands about once every 90 minutes to exceed 10 times. I definitely don’t wash my hands every 90 minutes.
I agree.
I think there are two basic approaches to handwashing, at least for people who fall somewhere between being a germophobe and a … germophile? slob? someone who just doesn’t care? Anyway, one approach is to think of your hands as basically clean enough by default, and to wash them after doing something that would get them dirty (germy and/or messy). The other is to think of your hands as basically dirty and to wash them before doing something that requires them to be clean and santiary. I normally take the first approach, but the second might be taken either by someone who has a vocation or avocation that means they spend a lot of time getting their hands dirty or by someone who has a vocation or avocation that requires their hands to be very clean (like a surgeon or a chef).
There may be a control that lets you adjust the brightness of the dash lights when your headlights are on. I think my car has this, but I’m not sure because whatever it’s set at now works for me and I haven’t seen the need to futz with it.
Nor do i, but i might wash them every couple of minutes while i am cooking.
There’s nothing obvious, and I’m not going to go digging into menus just because it started to rain.
Also, the instruments on my dash are all LEDs, it’s not as if they are physical wheels and dials that i can see by ambient light.
Hmm. The results of my Christmas music poll are awfully skewed. Perhaps instead of “old standard”, I should have put “tired cliche”.
We are looking for the option that says “Artist that we love playing anything but more fucking Christmas music!!!”
Ditto. It’s very annoying. There’s an override of sorts, but it’s so non-intuitive that I have to pull over and look it up in the manual, and it seems to reset itself occasionally.
And I’ve got to admit that I don’t know what my tail lights are doing when I put the hazards on. I know something’s blinking back there. I think it’s probably the turn signals, but it might be the tail lights, or it might be both of them.
Ditto.
And I might wash the field dirt or tractor grease off when I come in the house, and then go to the john and wash my hands again, and then start making a sandwich, pat the importunate dog, wash my hands again before going back to the sandwich because he’d rolled in something – all in ten minutes. And then rinse the dressing off my hands when I’m done eating.
– A mediocre musician may or may not have also written a mediocre piece of music. And in most cases I’d rather listen to something other than Christmas music, anyway. Didn’t vote.
– The economy at the moment is in a lot better shape than it’s generally given credit for. We may nevertheless be at the brink of destruction for various reasons, all of which if they happen are likely to screw up the economy. Didn’t vote in that one, either (it doesn’t appear to be multiple choice.)
Ahh…a properly made sandwich!
The best sandwiches are the ones you wash your hands before making and then have to wash them again after eating. It has come to my attention in the past few years that I have some tactile issues in that I can’t stand the feeling of sticky or gooey things on my hands. This means I wash my hands frequently while cooking. No one who’s seen my house would mistake me for a germophobe.
For the Christmas music, I’d rather not most of the time, but if it’s not a great new song, it’s going to be even more annoying than hearing Silent Night for the 500th time (looking at you, Paul McCartney).
I drove Volvos for quite some time, I still own a C30 (which the wife uses more than I do). On those the headlights are always on.
On the new to me 2017 Hyundai, I was able to set headlights to auto.
On my Audi I set the headlights to Auto. The car seems to know you want one dimmable setting for dark/dusk, and another for daylight, even though it’s the same dimmer control. If I change the setting at night, it doesn’t affect daytime control brightness.
And yes, the controls are always lit: it’s a “glass cockpit”, all the displays like speed are on LED screens.
I have no idea what the lights on the back of the car are doing because I’m inside the car and can’t see them.
What’s the case for “Puff the Magic Dragon” being about marijuana (for those who voted that way)? It seems to me that people who genuinely think that are basing it on the title but have never actually paid attention to the lyrics.
I wash my hands for two reasons: after I use the bathroom, and before I prepare food. Propably 6 or 7 times a day. I’m definitely not a germophobe, but I work in healthcare with contact with several patients a day, so it’s probably a good idea.
I would say it’s a sandwich that failed. The whole point of sandwiches is to be able to eat them and play cards without dirtying the cards. 
The economy question was weird. One very bully response and three very negative responses. Nothing in the middle or reservedly positive. I picked living on borrowed time because aren’t all of us always?
