That reminds me of an old bit Eddie Murphy has about saltine crackers tasting better when you’re hungry: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wRXq8TKq-a8

In grade school, I couldn’t figure out a homework problem that was due the next day. I called everyone in my town’s phone book with my teacher’s last name to hunt them down for help.

To my teacher’s credit, they did help, but I’m sure that’s one of the many reasons why we don’t have a public directory of PII anymore.

I cancelled my amazon prime membership when I realized that almost everything I bought I returned because the quality had gone downhill, it wasn’t as advertised, or it was an impulse purchase that I regretted as soon as I had it in my hands.

It’s been 3 months and I have no regrets. Apparently I missed prime day… I didn’t even notice and don’t care.

And OP was given credit. Truly a sign of the before times

Curiosity killed the cat, and the world as we know it!

Reminds me of that final destination movie. I’m freaked out if I ever drive behind a logging truck.

Is it likely to happen? Absolutely not, but it feels very “moth to a flame”.

Thank you for being one of the good ones

It is believed the marriage between Petrus Gonsalvus and Lady Catherine may have partially inspired the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Put him on a purrformance improvement plan

The implants were both custom-made to fit into holes drilled into Oscar’s ankle bones. They are known as intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthetics (ITAPs)…

They have a honeycomb structure which enables skin to bond with the implant to prevent infection. The implants are placed into the drilled holes which then allow for a “sock” to be fitted over them.

The ITAP technology is currently being tested on humans

So glad the little guy got a new lease on life, and it’s leading to future research 🥹

FWIW, I appreciate when the poster adds some context for why they thought to share the page.

Superb write-up. Even though I got the joke, I still learned something 🍿

I try to learn something new.

There’s only so much time you can spend processing and healing… sometimes you need the reprieve of distractions.

Not only are you engrossed in an activity, but you feel a sense of accomplishment in the process.

For example:

• Taking an evening course with a hands-on or creative outlet
• Becoming a fan of a local team for a sport you don’t know a lot about
• take a new style of dance/boxing/yoga/etc. class
• Be a tourist in your own city and take “sightseeing” tours offered by local tour guides, etc.
