I have no solid info because I’m terrible, but I love it.

It do be like that.

Oh, I’m very familiar with the Czech Shop and Slovacek’s. When my brother lived over by Round Rock and we used to play up in Deep Ellum. We’d stop every time on the way and load up. But I’m not driving almost 3 hours for them when I’ve got reasonable knock offs nearby.

It’s the same reason I’ll get Barbecue sandwiches there. I’ve got a bunch of good places actually nearby. However, if I’m on the road I’m guaranteed to get a minimum quality sandwich that’s pretty alright on top of clean bathrooms.

But I 100% agree about the Kodi coolers. We’ve also got the RTIC store over here if you wanna get fancy.

I’ve been trying to get people to put a beaver on Buc-ees home decor for years. But that’s not a conversation for polite company.

No coolers, pie fillings, home decor, or kolaches? You didn’t buy a rocking chair or a grill while you were there? Are you sure it was even Buc-ees?

Asking the real questions here. I’ve got a ninja and I’m pretty sure there’s no way I could puree bones.

I can’t recommend this highly enough if you’re never planning on having a kid or if you’re done having kids. I am a huge weenie when it comes to medical procedures and mine was super simple. I was sore for a few days, did my follow up, and that was it.

I still use condoms because of STDs but I never have to worry about accidentally having a kid if a condom breaks.

We dry clean them. Otherwise they shrink.

I like to make my own because it’s quick, easy, and much tastier than most store bought, but I also understand that not everyone has an immersion blender or the desire for one.

I like to add fresh herbs to mine. A little dill or parsley really livens it up. I’ve tried mixing them in store bought and it’s not the same.

I agree with this. Reagan was culpable because he was the damn boss. H.W., Olly North, and a bunch of others were doing all kinds of fucked up shit while he smiled for the camera.

I think the same thing about Bush Jr.'s time in office. He “aww shucked” his way through shit while Cheney and the crew did irreparable damage. I don’t think either of them felt strongly about anything that didn’t personally affect them and they allowed the road to the 2016 shitshow.

H.W. was the only conservative who held the reigns while he was president in the last 4 decades and he wasn’t likable enough by the base to get a second term. That’s why they put up “aww shucks” and a crazy demagogue that they could manipulate. Don’t get me wrong, Trump is evil. He just doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together to do the damage that the federalist society and project 2025 wanted/wants all by himself.

He was Nancy’s psychic’s puppet.

Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

When you come to Fishy Joe’s.

What they’re made of is a mystery,

Where they come from, no one knows.

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

And if you promise not to sue us,

You can shove one up your nose.

I had an iodine deficiency! I wasn’t eating dairy or eggs, I was cooking my own food from scratch, and I was using sea salt instead of iodized salt. In addition, I like drinking alcohol which makes it harder to absorb iodine. Felt like shit. Couldn’t muster the energy to give the slightest shit about anything.

Got blood work done and found out. So I started taking a supplement every other day for it specifically because I’m just not getting it in my diet. I’m feeling pretty great now.

I don’t think supplements are generally the answer, but having a work up done and learning some shit about yourself can be pretty eye opening and point you at what you need to do to fix your diet. It’s a good first step, but not a magic bullet.

I’m still excited that it’s a possibility, but I don’t trust Musk with it. It’s one step closer to me becoming a brain in a jar.

Let’s also not forget all the dead test animals

Heaps of them?

I just replaced mine as they were abscessed or impacted and I didn’t notice a change, but that was over several years. I would have died in the middle ages.

If you can afford it I recommend getting the worst of them replaced with implants. If you can’t then get some partial dentures to replace whatever you’ve lost. It will help both your confidence and quality of life.

Fluoride in water can help if you’re not taught proper care and feeding of teeth, but you are right. The fluoride in toothpaste is what should be doing the heavy lifting.

I feel you. I grew up on well water (no fluoride), have a genetic predisposition for terribly crooked teeth, and wasn’t taught basic oral hygiene until I was legally an adult.

I’ve had several extractions but every time it has been either an abscess or an impacted tooth, so just the relief from that pain was almost like a drug itself. About half my teeth are fake at this point and the ones that are left are in pretty good shape because they weren’t too far gone when I actually learned how to properly take care of them.

That’s a really good point. I’m leaving it for now so your reply makes sense but I’ll remove it next time I make that list (which happens too often).
