We do, too.

My wife once caused it to crash by popping an aluminum bottlecap on top of the control interface.

Sure, but presumably evidence is needed for such an accusation. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I’ve seen no other allegations and am asking for evidence.

I am specifically refraining from expressing my politics publicly, but I do have a question. Borne of curiosity, not to make any point.

Didn’t his brother die of alcoholism? I thought that’s why he doesn’t drink.

Sounds like a healthy relationship.

And that car, though.

I mean, it had nothing to do with him, but still. Goddamn sexy car.

Allegedly my great (maybe great great, I don’t know) grandmother tried to murder her husband by putting rat poison in his morning coffee. I don’t know if the forensics back then would have been able to identify that, but fortunately it didn’t matter because apparently rat poison floats.

I was never told what happened to her, though.

Sleep with him while in disguise, then accuse him of sleeping with someone else. Then you’ve managed both!

I thought the first part was so that you could give a valet the keys to park and retrieve your car, but not easily get to your belongings.

Was that employee Elvis?

I was told the same thing literally across the country from you a decade and a half back.

At a glance, I thought this was a picture of a mosquito.

Hey, I’m ~40 and this is that I do, too! Plus work.

Otto! You gotta do something! There’s a gremlin on the side of the bus!

What is your unconventional typing style?

Mine, too!

Yeah, if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t do … Most of what I did to lead up to that point.

I’ve never understood that last one. Assuming I am otherwise physically healthy and don’t have any foreign objects in my mouth, I can’t really taste anything but neutrality. Technically I can probably taste saliva, but I think my brain filters that out and noting it doesn’t seem like it would help anyway.

Unless I’m misinterpreting and I’m supposed to go lick something during a panic attack. I know I’ve read that biting into a lemon can help.

Reminds me of an old bash.org quote. As closely as I can recall:

Someone told me I should dance like I fight, all graceful and shit. It was going well … Until I dropped her on her head.

I’ve been told that brain freeze happens because the roof of your mouth detects cold, causing constriction of the blood vessels about your skull. (I looked this up and Wikipedia says it’s only a theory.)

Therefore, to combat that quickly, one needs to warm the roof of your mouth. I’ve gotten mixed results with using the tongue for warmth; I assume that, when it doesn’t work, it’s because whatever cooled the roof of my mouth also cooled my tongue.

Therefore, if your tongue doesn’t do the job, communicate with your partner consuming anything at least a little warmer than the food item that originally caused the problem should help. As the other commenter said, usually a warm drink will suffice, though in my experience it doesn’t even need to be particularly warm. I’ve drunk ice water to help before when the problem was something very cold like ice cream.

I broke my ankle, didn’t realize it was broken, and tried to twist it back into place and stand on it. Twice.

My doctors all had things to say about that, too. As well, like you, I have a pronounced limp after walking more than a few steps.

Apparently:

An eggshell is mostly calcium carbonate, riddled with microscopic pores, and lined with a thin protein membrane. In hot liquid, that membrane behaves like a natural flocculant, encouraging the tiny proteins and vegetable fines that cloud your stock to tangle together. The shell’s rough surface provides places for these particles to gather, and once aggregated, gravity does the rest. You don’t need much. For 1 litre of broth, the shells from one or two eggs can be enough to coax clarity.
