    My corgi will can actually pass the 'marshmallow test'. When I am in the kitchen preparing food she is begging for scraps... and when I put some in her dish she will pretend she doesn't see them and continue begging for more! There are plenty of humans that can't manage this :)

    That was my first thought- what are they going to break FB up into, a bucket and a pile of shit?

  5. I remember to save money you would call your parents on payphone and hang up after a couple rings ie time to pick you up at the library.

    I guess getting paid to be a pedantic cunt must be satisfying!

    Certainly my least favorite part of cooking...I would rather hang with family or take a walk or something but there is a huge mess waiting for me.

  15. Re:Rate of absorption on Study Finds Different Types of Alcohol Can Determine Different Moods (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I disagree completely. I think the primary factor is the amount of carbohydrate in the beverage- many Native Americans are prone to diabetes from a high carbohydrate diet as well as alcoholism- the metabolic pathways are related.

    Because none of that stuff was common sense, like ever? It was marketing bullshit from establishment. Hell look at the diabetes pyramid. If it looks ridiculous it's because it is! People need to stop letting others tell them how to live- they are being manipulated because they are afraid to die.

    All the BI stuff dies a horrible death if you have to deal with any decent amount of records like a million +.

    Not for me. A bagel or a couple of pancakes will leave me ready to pass out in an hour or two. Eggs and bacon I am good all day and can skip lunch if I want.
