The French are huge fans of medicine.

Tea-bag tea first thing in the morning, strong, with milk. Light/medium-roast speciality filter coffee with breakfast, or mid-morning. If I'm having another caffeine drink in the afternoon it would ideally be nice leaf tea, black, green or oolong definitely without milk. But if I'm at work or out and about sometimes just another mug of tea-bag tea.

A lot of old hard rock and metal with power chords is easy to play a simplified version of. I think Metallica - 'For whom the bell tolls' and 'Enter Sandman' were probably the first things I learnt. You can learn enough to have fun playing a riff like that even if you struggle to get your hand into position to do proper 6-string chords.

A bit of strain hardening might even improve your (?toughness)?

Maybe a bit with gabber or grindcore and harder stuff like that. In the UK/EU at least.

Having a cold shower at the end is probably number 1 if I made a list of things I do right in life that most people don't do. I feel so clean and comfortable for ages afterwards, no matter if I'm in my house or the middle of the forest, summer or winter. Best thing my dad ever taught me. (I mean he's still alive, so technically 'best so far', but I'm not holding my breath).

What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.

Wasn't cromulent in Blackadder tho? And surely that was before 96? Or am I just missing the relative age of things again?

I feel like my comment in another thread is even more relevant here:

I have no direct knowledge about that, but if we take the analogy of the egg (shell, albumen and yolk sack) being the life-support system of the embryo during gestation, in humans the placenta would be a big part of that, and exactly whose body it is part of its not simple (from what I remember both mother and child contribute cells, and the 'plan' for building it comes from the father's genes). So maybe for chickens it could be ambiguous whether the shell 'belongs' to the laying generation or the hatching one. Seems like mostly a human taxonomy distinction to make anyway, obviously it's in between the two, but we like to draw the line somewhere.

I've been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to Amazon.

Isn't there a better way?
