How do you cleanly cut boards? I have some old RAM sticks that are pretty small by today's standards and I'd kinda like to make earrings with them one day

Oh, I meant IRL.
The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone's looks.

I haven't interacted with Christians around here.

I know something like that happened in Scooby Doo, Mysteries Incorporated, because Freddy was a real mess by the end of the series.
But its just a common trope

As the other users have mentioned, its a genre about going to another world, and its real big in Japan right now, but you're definitely familiar with it in some form.

After all, The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe is technically Isekai.

Its actually really fun to look back and figure out what classic things are.

This is the case of an article misconstruing the meaning of a scientific paper... again.

From what I gather, this is meant to mean the specific context of a gesture having the explicit, consistent purpose- that when it flutters, it means that its partner is supposed to do a specific activity with their nest.

So its not just the context sensitive "I'm letting you go first" like with a cat, or with many other creatures, its more akin to someone texting their spouse "Can you put the kettle on?"

The bizarre thing with this really is that its a visual cue, because we see this all the time with sounds, in all kinds of critters.

I honestly do try to live by WWJD. Its a pretty legit way of thinking.

But the problem is, trying to give a chance to everybody tends to earn a lot of "tsk tsk" from many Christians around here.

Nah, I just wear what looks cool, no matter what.
Yes, I will wear the Vault Suit through entire Fallout games, because its canon AF. I just got good at ice physics because the Hover Boots looked rad.

And I've gone an entire game with the head slot empty in one game that, for some reason, didn't let you unequip helmets, and the character had cool hair.
Also got a legendary drop with perpetual Dash speed. Probably the most unique individual character for that random iOS game ever.

My mother's coworker's child made a bacon bundt cake, and specifically sent a piece for her.

I agreed to eat it with my mother out of solidarity.

Honestly, she's like, 9 or something, and did a great job of it. Kinda had a bacon pancake going, didn't have many tunnels or anything. Would be a great dessert for a barbecue, that kinda thing.

But no one in my immediate family is that into bacon, let alone being combined with sweets.

But you're supposed to ask what its desires are. We gotta know if this is AM "Torture humans for Eternity" or Glitchy GLaDOS "Make cake" kinda stuff

It looks like on your general information post, you didn't want medical advice, so I do apologize if I'm stepping on toes here, but in another post, you mentioned Trigeminal Neuralgia.
My speech therapist actually got into her line of work because of experiencing face/head/neck neuralgia herself, (on top of being a singer) and so her practice includes manual therapies on top of the more typical speech therapy practice. (apparently its more popular in speech pathology training in the Boston/New England area, so not sure if its as accessible around you)

I suggest looking into manual therapies for treatment, and speech therapists may be a good place to start looking for it. Its made a world of difference for me and my own SLP.

Also, I'm a little curious about Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It'd be a bit of a long shot in your case, but if you feel the strong urge to bathe in really, really hot water, tell your specialists- its an obscure one, usually associated with children and gets written off as a form of migraine in adults.
