Not a dietician, but for weight loss isn't it usually better to aim for multiple smaller meals throughout the day to accelerate your metabolism? As long as you're cutting down calories at a sensible rate I suppose anything's an improvement, though.

Great, now how do I say "Like, comment and subscribe, and hit that notification bell?"

This is very important for my upcoming crusader-themed YouTube channel.

Giving blood? No problem, jam that needle up in there, I don't mind. Same with IVs; never had a problem. It's just something about dental anaesthesia that makes the needles absolutely agonising for me.

XR, at least in my country, is pushing for more than carbon taxes. Disengagement from fossil fuel economy, rapid transition to renewables, and all the ordinary stuff. Disengagement from fossil fuel economy is a big one, because in many places coal is increasingly inefficient and propped up by subsidies as much as its own power.

I don't think I will ever not hate the injections (I am very difficult to anaesthetise, apparently; they usually need to take more than one shot at it, and they all hurt like hell), but the drilling etc. is really not as bad. I guess you grow into holding your mouth open for longer more easily, and also it's bigger so it's easier for them to get in there.

If we accept at face value that children all receive their presents simultaneously at midnight, you could probably construct an argument that since Santa already violates causality he may at some future point be going to impact at Chicxulub and cause the mass extinction.

But that would be getting into the territory of discussing absurdities--

I can't find my focus. Everything is a distraction, from my jacked up shoulder to how bad my posture is when I sit so I don't bother it to the draft if the fan is on and the heat if it's not.

They’re an environmental protest group (or rather, started as such) that use civil disobedience to get their point across. Ground London to a halt for a few days a few months back, several times, then got a lot more protests in various cities in the UK more recently, and have now gone international, which is presumably why dragdeler is receiving invites.

Correct. The "extinction" in the name refers to the current mass extinction event, not voluntary extinction. I'd be more involved with them if they didn't seem to somehow be pathologically allergic to leadership, which makes it very difficult to tell what's actually going on.

Certainly I've heard of that trick being used for methylated spirits, which you at least used to be able to buy in any hardware shop around here.

I mean, more than that, a cone of shame is like the antithesis of aerodynamic. Stuff don't fly forward well with one of those things on. If it didn't come off or somethin' it'd probably snap red's neck like a twig.

This problem can be solved by putting a tempered glass front on it. Of course, he'll need to breathe, so we can get an air scoop under his chin and an outlet between the horns. Then you can even put a paper squeaker on it in traffic!

Even if Rudolph is opaque, the first time the sled turns or he throws back his head in a creepy stop-motion laugh after a saccharine quip about acceptance, Santa's going to lose night vision while piloting his sled of judgment at ludicrously unsafe speeds; before you can say "Ho Ho Hoooh Scheiβe", the reindeer, sleigh, presents, and Santa will have either plowed into the ground hard enough to become Christmas plasma or just careened off into space.

I played a reasonable amount of games when I was a kid, but they were almost all games with some kind of cerebral component - strategy games, puzzle games, straight-up educational games. We also had pretty restricted time on the computer, and it was always something we asked permission for first, up until I was... twelve or so maybe? Even so, I often preferred to read, so I might not be a great example. :P

Blood and blood cancer, but yes.   :P

Blood, bone marrow, basically the same stuff

For context, the good Chairman is a medical specialist - bones and possibly bone cancer, IIRC. Specialists with a lot of experience are still difficult to replace, even in the modern era.
