What I want to know is who uses $10 worth of toilet paper a month. One could buy about 24 rolls for about $10, how can an individual use this much tp in a month? Unless kids still tp houses these days.

Try Dentotape, it's more of a flat ribbon of floss. Many people in my family have sensitive gums that bleed from the regular string-like floss (and I floss at least twice a day, every day, so it isn't lack of flossing on my part). This Dentotape makes all the difference in the world. People I've recommended it to have told me it was the difference between flossing regularly or not because of their sensitive gums.

Edit: That link I included is to a six pack of them, don't think it's $17 for one package! I used to buy it a WalMart, but they quit carrying it long ago. I cannot find it in any stores anymore, I don't know why. I currently have a couple years worth stashed under my bathroom sink in case they discontinue it!

Very few people need that in a desktop, let alone a laptop.

>The Get Lost Wasp is a simulated wasp nest which acts on wasps' instinctual and territorial behavior. Most species of wasps have a natural tendency to avoid nesting within a 200 ft. radius of a competing colony. Wasps also tend to patrol no further from their nest than this same 200 ft. radius. The Get Lost Wasp acts as a first line of defense in the pest management of your property by simulating that the area is already claimed by an existing colony of wasps.

You do realize a pure capitalist country cannot exist right? I mean if you are honestly ignorant of these things that is okay. I won't belittle you on opinions, but this is just pure economic fact. I would recommend reading The Wealth of Nations written by Joseph Smith (not the Mormon, the Scott) he came up with the concept of the "invisible hand" which is a major part of our economic society today.

Make sure you really piss em off, use stainless steel zip ties

This is ironic because you can actually use lasers (let's call them controlled sunbeams?) to remove the pigment from brown eyes and make them blue. Source.

It works if the gap is smaller using bands like this.

Because Reddit uses a form of Markdown, which manages things like bolding with asterisks, or automatically ordered lists.

Being so, it recognizes '4.' as an entry in a numbered list, giving it a 1.

Try this out: use 1. (or any other number and a dot) several times in a row, see what happens:

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D

More info on what Markdown does (keep in mind reddit's version is trimmed down, so not everything will work the same here)

And when you do a water change you only want to take out 25 to 50 percent of the water. Also when you start a tank, you need to wait a while and let it cycle(letting bacteria grow and have them break down the ammonia). When changing water you don’t want to just put in normal tap water because of the chemicals in it, so you will want to put in something like Prime which gets rid of these chemicals that are in the tap water.

I only pointed out iPhone as an example of incorporating waterproofing as a standard feature in an iconic brand. Yes, they are late to the party but a Samsung Rugby ain't going to turn heads. Before waterproofing was marketed as a high end feature. Also Samsungs flagship Galaxy wasn't waterproofed until the S7- even then it's not holding up to expectations.

Vodka is not pure ethanol, though. -114 C will freeze vodka for sure, but it doesn't necessarily need to be that cold. I'm not sure what the melting point of vodka is.

Wait, found the answer.

Some things are worth saving up for. I started out using a low-tier poop knife for several years before I could afford a good pair of poop scissors, and it's been worth every penny.

>a free market makes it easier to start and finance a new business.

On the contrary, you can only start businesses these days if you have the backing of venture capital funds on some very predatory lending terms.

>A market economy distributes decision making more efficiently

Which is of course why wal-mart, Amazon, FoxConn and so many other countries do central planning internally? And why Sears's internal competition system failed miserably?

>natural mechanisms to deal with supply shortages.

This 'natural mechanism' is just 'increase prices, and if the supply glut is long enough and the investment is worth it, increase production'. We're currently seeing mass shortages of semiconductor chips in the USA (so much so that Biden felt it necessary to do the 'for want of a nail' speech).

Amazon is a godsend for anything non medical right now, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FHPT24Z/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_Pf9BEb2G4G46B ordered 28 to make everybody in my motorcycle club match. You can get bulk prices if you call the manufacturer directly, 28 was the first price break so I just got that many cuz why not, we might recruit in case of an apocalypse situation.

Our PC's are upstairs in our bedroom (except for our HTPC downstairs).

So, I took my phone downstairs while I cooked some DiGiornos in the oven (I kept an eye on it to make sure not to burn it like last time). While I was cooking it I checked my Reddit mail on Relay for Reddit. I responded on my phone.

When I got back to my PC with the pizza for my gf and I to share /r/FiftyFifty I once again had access to Grammarly which keeps most Reddit users from knowing I'm drunk at all.

TL;DR: I get LTE downstairs but mobile Chrome doesn't support all the plugins that desktop Chrome does.

How do you pronounce "verbiage"? Most people seem to pronounce it with a silent 'i' but most dictionaries allow either way. Just like GIF: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/GIF

It was years ago and I don't see the exact model on first glance through Amazon, but it's essentially similar to this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Nulaxy-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Adapter/dp/B018E0I01I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473346666&sr=8-3&keywords=bluetooth+car+adapter

The point is that there are options better than buying a new car if you don't have Bluetooth. This is by far the cheapest option. Installing a new aftermarket stereo is another, which would run around $100 bucks plus installation (or DIY) at least for a solid unit with Bluetooth.

If you pick up the bottle I did (went cheaper to test, this one works for me) $8, note that the instructions require you to take a few pills per dosage, not just one. Up to I think 9 per day.

I take 3 before lunch, and 2 before dinner. Much better than immodium which just stops you entirely, this makes you actually feel normal. Best of luck!

Here's an actual solution: Go in to your browser or PC settings and look for a VPN option. If you find one, turn it on to the location that is required, then reload the page. If neither your browser or PC have a VPN, you can either use a third party such as "TunnelBear" or (The free option)>install a browser that does, like "Opera"

You just just get these at the liquor store.

There's a bunch out there here's a 2lb bag for $15

I'm going to warn you ahead of time though, this is a slippery slope to go down. I have half a bag in the pantry and have come to putting a handful at a time in my mouth at 2am.

Mullvad is a pretty good VPN, they're so private they don't even ask you for a username or email, there's just a button to make an account and when you press it they give you an account number to write down. Then you can add funds to your account with various methods, like credit cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, mailing an envelope full of cash to the address they tell you...

Not sponsored just a very good VPN that's usually at the top of "won't scam or spy" lists.

they do make book covers. they were popular in middle school for some reason. like these

Then explain me this please: Custodial accounts can have a heavy impact on financial aid. Because the money in a custodial account is your child’s asset and not yours, federal financial aid formulas consider 20% of the money available to pay for college. Compare this to 529 plans, which are given more favorable treatment for financial aid. (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) formula considers a maximum of 5.6% of the money to be available in a parent owned 529 plan available for college because the money is considered the parent’s assets and not the child’s.)

I'm new to this so you might have a better explanation

You can be very specific about how you want stuff done. It's your house after all.

For the networking I recommend looking into power line stuff. It's cheap enough that you can give it a try and if it doesn't work, meh, try something else. And it's completely non-destructive to your building.

The ones I got (and again, keep in mind this is shredded memory foam, not solid) were $50 for two pillows.

The construction is a thin zippered case filled with shredded memory foam. I added more foam to mine. That's inside a thicc zippered case. And then I put mine in the pillow cases that match my sheets. Personally, I feel comfortable just washing my sheet pillow cases typically and then washing the thicc case on occasion. But it looks like there's some people in this thread who wouldn't.

There is a book called Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlife by David Eagleman. The stories vary in quality or impact, and many of them are excellent (here are four good ones — the last line of "Circle of Friends" is like a punch in the face), but one of them in particular haunts me: it contains the line "There are three deaths: the first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time." The afterlife is a giant waiting room, like an airport, full of the dead, and you get to leave only after your name has been spoken for the last time. You want to leave, because it's incredibly boring, but the only people who ever get to leave are the nobodies. Genghis Khan and Jane Austen and Isaac Newton and Alexander the Great, the people who made an impact — they're consigned to the hell of fame, forever.

Me, I'll take being forgotten, forever, even if/though there is no afterlife.

He, and I think a couple of others, wrote a book about his life, I read some excerpts a while back on Twitter and they were fucking comedy gold! I’m not sure how well it will translate for non UK or Irish people though, some of the celebrity encounter stories might be only, or best, known to people from the UK and Ireland. I haven’t read the book though, so I can only hope those excerpts I saw on Twitter were really from this book.

Facebook actually sells.....Security cameras for inside your house.

Who the everloving FUCKITY would buy one? basically you're signing up to have the camera activated 24/7 and feed everything (including audio) directly to facebooks servers.

Seriously..read the T&Cs.

They even advertise as "the perfect gift for someone that doesn't use facebook"....because they don't have spy data on that person.

And here is that security camera (disguised as an iPad but it still records video and audio 24/7):

There is nothing worse than socialism and communism. Have heritage of a ex-communist country. No matter how bad it might looke here, dont go left-wing crazy. I tell you this, you learn it either the good way or the hard way. All this Hippie-culture liberal bullcrap, they dont knlw shit what authoritarian goverment. Go to Ukraine or Belarussia, China or North-Korea. What they dont get is,, Freedome doesent mean you can do whatever you want, but not being forced to do what you dont want" besides paying taxes and die someday.

Maybe a Rick roll (probably not) but this is also a thing in Korea, where they sell these ramen packs for the express purpose of eating dry.
