  • One of the best feelings I ever felt was laying in bed the night after a car accident earlier in the day. It was enough of an accident that I was glad to reflect on it not being any worse, but it also wasn’t bad enough to injure anyone.

    When I climbed into bed that night, I was seriously doing that thing dogs do when you take them outside and they flop and wallow around on the grass with their feet flailing carelessly in the air. That bed felt so damn good that night, and I try often to remind myself that it’s the same comfy and safe bed now that it was that day.



  • And primaries are the “real” elections to get us there. General elections will continue to be major party A vs. major party B, with a “this is the most important election ever” backdrop, while primaries are where we have to try to get our important issues (like election reform) carried by generally electable candidates to get those issues injected into the parties.

    And the amount of money spent on primaries confirms how influential they are capable of being.





  • Cleveland clinic says says about coffee’s laxative effect:

    Researchers found that 29% of coffee drinkers report a desire to poop after drinking coffee. The feeling can come pretty quickly, too. (In as little as four minutes!)

    And about lactose intolerance (same article):

    An estimated 65% of people have some difficulty digesting lactose, which can lead to restroom runs. Lactose intolerance can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal (GI) issues within 30 minutes of consumption.






  • Fair point, I actually mainly wore flip flops and preferred Reef and now Ulukai Olukai. Those checked almost all my boxes, though none of those give a firm enough platform compared to good walking shoes, so I shouldn’t hold that point against Crocs.

    Edit: I mixed up Olukai shoes with Ukla Uukha archery gear, oops.

    Edit 2: I mixed up Uukha with Ookla. /facepalm
