Yes, but not because of the oil. Pipes often clog due to a buildup of soap. Don’t use more soap than you need, which for most people is about 10 times less than what they use now.

That’s not an excuse to just skip all punctuation.

Not what you asked, but what you need to hear instead.

Sure, it’s easier not to confront any of your problems, and act like 100kg is still “skinny fat” somehow. But wallowing in self-pity isn’t going to make anything better, and it’s the worst for your social life, which in turn is the worst for your mental health.

I don’t expect you’ll hear this either, and that’s okay. I hope you find your way out of your misery at some point.

If you really believe Google is about to go out of business, you’re out of your mind

As long as you are someplace and time where they use the Gregorian calendar

Taking out the high-pitch whine will make them much more bearable. It’s a student project, they did well. This isn’t groundbreaking Noble-prize stuff, but it doesn’t deserve all the hate it’s getting here either.

So many frustrations here! I just switched companies and forced back into outlook&teams.

Would you like to know who’s attending a meeting? We hid this very deep in the meeting options.

Want to see all emails sent to Jack? Here are all emails from Jack instead.

Want to see when Jack is available for a quick chat? Please schedule a meeting and use the scheduling tool just to see if he’s even in the office today

Weeds don’t wither would be a better translation

There’s a Dutch saying “gasten en vis blijven drie dagen vers”.

Guests and fish stay fresh for the days. Very similar meaning

Irradiating won’t harm the smoker though. You need to put a radiation source in the cigarette to do harm.

Ensure liberty is a very broad statement, and usually not an absolute one.

In most countries you aren’t free to sell, buy or consume meth, for example, because it clashes with the common good. You could make the same arguments for an abundance of nicotine in cigarettes, or even cigarettes as a whole. You could even make that argument against alcohol, speeding, wearing helmets, having guns, or eating fast food.

There’s a line somewhere, and where that line is exactly is not “written in the constitution” for most countries. It’s one that can be, and is argued all the time.

That is certainly an opinion!

I think I would. But at least I’d like to ban the practice of adding unnecessary amounts of nicotine.

Why allow companies to make their cigarettes unnecessarily addictive, and then use public funds for smoking cessation resources. That’s the world upside down.

There are unnecessarily large amounts of nicotine in cigarettes, making them very addictive.

Forced is a strong word, but many smokers aren’t smoking out of free will either

Huh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?

In German it’s called a Doppel-Vau, with Vau being the letter V.

In Dutch it’s just called wee, none of this double bullshit

Yeah, that’s kinda the problem

You would have to find a good definition of “all browsers”, and I think that would be nearly impossible.

I absolutely agree that governments should support Firefox, that’s a reasonable claim. But do they need to support the earliest version of netscape? Or the browser I made as a hobby project last week and published as open source? There’s a limit to what’s reasonable and workable.

While true, 1 blade a day for 120 years is also off by a factor of 20 in the other direction.

Inversion thinking also works the other way around. If you see negatives most of the time (which is a strong suit by itself, but the pitfall is that you don’t dare to take any risk), it can help to sometimes consciously think “What if it goes right?”
