  Now that is something I’ve never thought about before and also wish I hadn’t read.

  Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn’t survive well outside the intestines, so there’s a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.

  However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You’d probably want to treat it though because you’d experience severe fever and other clear signs.

  I’ll achieve this knowledge in the “don’t worry about it” folder.

  So, I memorized all the binary digits in the waveform of a Metallica song and wrote it down from memory.

  Unfortunately I’ve got a bad memory so I had to do them one digit at a time, but technically I didn’t copy anything, I only wrote down my own memories, right? Also, my handwriting is worse than my doctor’s so I chose to write it on a computer.

  The funniest thing happened when I accidentally opened this text file in Winamp. It almost sounded like music, except that the drums were played like shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal genres⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.

  It’s more like a framework.

  Perhaps it’s also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don’t think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

  That was a little later than 3210/3310.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. You could pay some geek to type it in during recess.

  The company is probably going to charge their customers even more for the work you do in your working time.

  Someone already pays that money. The workers just don’t receive it.

  If everybody was self-employed, those are the prices that would be paid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more of a journalist thing. They take the words out of your mouth to reach their own conclusion fast and deliver an answer that’ll fit inside the allocated screen time.

  “When you heard that people use things instead of measurements to explain the size of other things, exactly how shocking was it to you?”

  Great, now it’s not getting done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).

  Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.

  I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just salt water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if a billionaire wants to help you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They just make a bank transfer. The real issue is the taxation.

  Every country has a threshold for how much someone can receive without paying taxes.

  Canada should join the Nordic countries in a new Kalmar Union. Everything you mentioned is in common, unlike USA and EU, which both span different climates, and thus different ways of life.

  Don’t get me wrong, I like both EU and the former USA, but I think there’s just more mutual ground in latitude than longitudes.

  The difficulty is that the goat is tied to the fence.

  It would be a lot easier to put a pole in the center of the circle.

  The length of the rope would then be 0.5 x sqr(2) x fence radius.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s impossible to assume anything at all. With cultural, age and gender differences, it’s difficult to figure out what the intentions of another person are, unless they state them clearly. Neither you or he did that.

  As a guy, I can assure you that guys do not understand subtle hints or can even logically deduce where this casual acquaintance is going from what you have already described.

  You’ll need to be very clear. Maybe then he will also tell or show you his own intentions more clearly.

  But first you need to know yourself what you actually want to hang out with this guy for and if it’s worthwhile maintaining the friendship for whatever reason. It makes sense if you have mutual interests or benefits from keeping in touch. However, my best guess based on your description of him offering a back massage is that he might have more romantic intentions than you. In that case it’s best for both of you to be brutally clear and end his hopes instead of “friend-zoning” him. It might feel unpleasant, but it’s crucial to be clear. If he reacts negatively, well, there’s your answer.

  No, they don’t.

  It’s either a weird coincidence or in perhaps that the fitness chains areusing the same plumber and that guy is doing a shit job.
