What Sirius said. That sounds like something out of bad comedy show.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

Don't suppose you have any friends you could move in with? Might get you out a little faster.

Unfortunately, all of my friends are at this point

a. in college dorms or
b. living with their (usually immigrant) parents in seriously cramped conditions

Ah well... all I can do is keep trying.

Welp.

Chin up, I guess. Things will improve soon, for sure.

Just got away from my Mom, Vector, so I know your feels. There's a particular brand of weirdness all parents own that sucks to be subjected to as an adult offspring. You still can't talk to them at their level, at the end of the day.

Also, thank you all for the new thread title.

Today I took my glasses out my pocket and one of the arms fell off for no reason. It would be cheaper to buy new ones than replace the (bog-standard) frame I have, so I'm going to have to try to fix it with superglue.

A guy offered to buy this shoebox full of Magic: The Gathering cards off of me and I don't want either of us to be ripped off, so I'm pricing the box card by card. I just did multicolored, black and green cards (no red in the box, so blue, white, lands and artifacts are left) and I go to pull up the next color when I notice something; more black cards. I change my excel sheet to fix that and I go to grab the next color again and guess what happens: I find more multicolored. I swear, if this guy says its too expensive, backs out, or complains, I am going to probably flip a table... I'm also very tempted to jack up the price of some of the cards for a hidden "annoyance fee".

For the record, there are over 300 different cards counted thus far and that's not including the quantity of each... Or the next round of multicolored I found...

For sure, I know that that's true.  I just don't understand how she can combine "infected wounds scar badly" and "please put your open wound in bacteria soup" to get "you'll be cured!"
Stump-water is a fine old bit of folklore! You just need to be a folksy backwoods hermit for it to work properly.
There is a small bit of truth in it - water that collects in oak stumps ends up having lots of tannins, which are an astringent and thus occasionally helpful. That then got generalized out to any stump with water in it, and then witches/fairies/voodoo priestesses got involved, and here we are.

Listen. You try figuring out what season it is after huffing over a billion cars' worth of exhaust fumes. Frankly, we're lucky we still have weather.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

... now I wonder. Is it physically possible for a person to huff a billion cars worth of exhaust fumes? Nevermind actually surviving the experience, m'just curious if a single lifespan is enough brute time.

What's a cars worth of exhaust fumes, the average capacity of the human lungs, and a high rate of breaths per minute?

The almighty wind careth not for your petty projections of pattern upon the weather. Yea verily, the almighty wind feeleth pestilential today; therefore, if ye go forth for any purpose external to the house, he shall blow mightily and confound thy ends.

You should never move to Cape Town. It is always windy.

Generally speaking, most stumps would also leech tannins into the water. If you've ever owned an aquarium and just picked up random bits of wood to give to the fishes, even after boiling e.t.c. lots still leech tannins into the water, sometimes for weeks or years.

Maths time!

Average volume of inhaled air based on a room full of students and a peak flow meter: 650 cm3. As air has a density of around 1.3 kgm-3, that is about 0.8 kg worth of gas.

Rate of Breaths/min for same room: from 15 to 25, giving a nice mean of 20.

Exhaust fumes: According to a quick googlewhack, around 6000 Kg of fumes are released by the average car in a year, mostly CO2.

Simple division suggests then that it would take approx 7500 breaths to inhale the total emissions of a car in one year. At 20 breaths a min, that would be 375 mins (just over 6 hours) of inhaling. So if there are a billion cars... that would be 6 billion hours, or just over 700,000 years. Slightly longer than you are going to live on a diet of exhaust.
