Depends where in the world you are. In the US it was popularized by Dr Kellogg to curb masturbation. He also recommended a few drops of carbolic acid applied to young girls clits to damage the nerves and avoid what he called “abnormal excitement”.

Dude was opposed to pretty much anything even vaguely resembling pleasure, he invented corn flakes as a food to be as bland and tasteless as possible. The only reason they ever became a popular breakfast cereal is because of his brother adding sugar to them despite Kelloggs objections

‘cleanliness’ and ‘looking like their father’ were later justifications after the practice had already gained traction.

I’m a linehaul driver, pic from my first day at this job. I pull a set of double-trailers back and forth between two company terminals overnight. Same route each time, home every day. Pretty chill and easy work, I just listen to audiobooks and podcasts all night as I try not to slap anyone with my back trailer. any recommendations for something new to listen to I’d love to hear it

Nah, we’ll do like we did with the Spanish flu where we put our heads in the sand about a new flu strain from a farm in Kansas and name it after the first place to publicly acknowledge it exists.

Ok random question: the Walgreens near me almost never asks for my ID when I pickup my Adderall, is it really not required for that? I thought it was a hard rule to check ID for any controlled substances

The Titanic probably wouldn’t have sunk if it hit the iceberg head on. Clearly the Tesla simply mistook the train for an iceberg and itself for an ocean-liner and opted for a more ideal collision. The driver should have disabled ‘sea mode’ if they didn’t want that behavior, it’s all clearly spelled out in the owners manual.

If it’s not fully capable of self driving then maybe they shouldn’t call it full self driving

Maybe it shouldn’t be called full self driving if it’s not fully capable of self driving

8 minutes? Damn, it takes me that long just to boil water on the stove

Forget 75°, just 65°C (150°F) will give you third degree burns in 2 seconds:

Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.

here’s Destin from smartereveryday experiencing hypoxia. he’s told to his face that he is going to die if he doesn’t put his mask back on and get some oxygen, yet the whole time he has a giant grin on his face

I’m staunchly opposed to the death penalty, but if you’re going to kill someone nitrogen induced hypoxia is one of the most humane ways to do so.

nah, it was digitalcore

lies, sometimes I still need to flip usb-c to get it in. there’s still a hidden dimension there, it’s just better hidden than before

I’ve only been part of one private tracker, and I got kicked from them after not logging in for a month despite meeting ratios. haven’t bothered since then

There’s other antidepressants that don’t do that. Mirtazapine for instance helps sleep, and has no real impact on sex. It’ll make you hungry, though. Buproprion will mess with your sleep but not sex, but you’ll have no appetite. They all have their own unique collection of side effects, well worth looking into other options if SSRI’s aren’t well tolerated

Ah, right. How could I forget. Systemic issues are solely the fault of us as individuals for not singlehandedly solving them ourselves

every barrier helps, most suicide attempts are impulse decisions. forcing people to jump 30 feet into a net before they can jump a lethal distance makes it that much harder to follow through.

A “no stupid questions” for Linux would be super helpful. A big one for me is shell commands. Like are shell commands different between distros, or do I have to install something to have certain commands? How do I even know what commands I do have?

Idk about other phones, but at least on my pixel the volume down button is also a shutter button. And double pressing the lock screen button opens the camera

80k is the federal legal weight limit for a truck and trailer, and that’s spread across 5 axles. and any single axle can’t be over 20k. an f650 is big by pickup standards but midsize at best by commercial truck standards. look at any pictures of f650’s in use and the biggest loads they pull are single-axle beer trailers. no trucking company is pulling their 53’ tandem axle trailers with f650’s

almost any trailer approaching weight limits is going to be attached to a fifth-wheel, which puts load on the truck frame by design. literally the reason we call them semi-trailers. you’ll never see anything with a pickup bed hitting 80k gvw

sure, you can upgrade the entire drivetrain and suspension and reinforce the frame to get an f650 to handle nearly double it’s rated capacity, but at that point you’re just putting an f650 cab on a truck fit for the job. OPs pic is an f650 with an f350 bed slapped on it and a few other cosmetics

ford doesn’t put any R&D into these, or at least not as a pickup. these are custom builds that aren’t representative of what’s actually being manufactured and sold by major companies. here’s an equally bespoke and ridiculous f450 limo pickup.
