@OP I see that exact sign at a hot springs community in soerraville! That’s neat.

How do you know it’s reflecting back at them? I have tried and am never sure how to aim it.

I first heard about this reading “guns germs and steel” around 2006 so I’ma guess that’s the origin or at least a waypoint for that thought

Ok this all checks out thank you!

I know t4t in name, but newer to the lifestyle. Explain?

40%? Is that an insult?

While driving a train for the first time after getting familiarized, just taking it “around the block”. Pulling many tons of explosives. While we were both in the army, in uniform.

That’s perfect, sounds like how you set a scene for any kind of play, set agreements and expectations.

If they’re at all like cavies aka guinea pigs they are happy playing. The behavior is called popcorning in cavies.

Ok thanks for that! I think I may try out a firmer mattress sometime.

Can I ask why that mattress was especially good for sex? Like, more than a typical mattress? Asking cause I like sex and have FOMO.

Does duck duck go work better than blokada free?

I feel like the unloved sect is really the unitarian universalists. They’re basically a doctrine free “church” of social justice. Like, I love going sometimes and just getting more advice on how to be an excellent human to others. And then we have snacks.

Not doubting you but why exactly? Idk and I’m not in a condition to start perusing wikipedia unsupervised

Emu? Ostrich? Homunculus?

Pardon my ignorance. I’m not in an area that needs to dedicate mental labor to possible fights with birds.

I’m here laughing at it, so maybe not being a dick but being funny

I’ll also add that I hated the average hours of use thing cause whenever I would mail them in to get repaired it seemed like that time was being counted as well, so Id go in and get told I’m averaging something like 5 hours a day when I’m wearing them more like 16-18 hours a day.

Thanks for that! I never knew the back end, I kinda inferred some of it but it’s nice to hear the process

Neat!

In my other comment I address the specific issue that’s more common with hearing aids, which is overwhelming your brain with noice it’s not used to.

This. A good audiologist will usually start the gain pretty low, like 30% otherwise it overwhelms your brain in a way that’s hard to describe but will mean you don’t like it. After a few months you can have the gain turned up.

But if you can’t get the settings tweaked you can just turn volume down as soon as they are turned on.
