The faceting community would welcome anyone who wants to create a wine pairing guide for our lickable rocks.

I've been knitting for a decade but only made my first pair of socks during the pandemic. I bought some wool from a reputable seller in fun colors. It was so fun and they were so comfy, I made several more.

I almost never wear anything other than my knitted socks these days. They're just so daggone comfy and they keep my feet warm yet they never feel sweaty, except on extremely hot days when I'm outdoors.

Wool socks are absolutely luxurious to me now. 10/10 recommend knitting socks if you haven't already!

Some dishes freeze well, so those leftovers can be turned into future meal prep. I liked freezing my chili in silicone muffin tins, then one or two thawed chili pucks was a perfect last-minute meal when I didn't feel like cooking.

Maybe it was... copious amounts... and gravity utilized the pant leg openings...

Based on the article, the device will host actual kidney cells - I'm sure it won't be as effective as having your own original kidney, especially in it's early prototypes, but hopefully it'll be better than mere dialysis.

Even if the device was just a glorified portable dialysis machine though, that would still be a significant quality of life improvement for those on dialysis. With dialysis you're locally tethered to the dialysis clinic because you need weekly treatments, until you eventually die or win the kidney lottery. With a portable machine you could hopefully travel, see the world and visit family more.

Be kind to your kidneys everyone, drink enough water! You don't want a life without efficient kidneys.

Holy hell, that's straight up evil if true. I hope the bad PR ran them out of business.

So when he offered to send someone a duck pic, it wasn't an autocorrect?

I'm with you on that one. It feels like old people trying to be hip and modern, it doesn't feel genuine.

I have also never understood why a company would want to actively pressure you into letting them send you things you don't want. Isn't it just wasted bandwidth to blast emails to people who won't ever see or want them? So bizarre.

To put a modern twist on an old saying: lie down with grifters, get up with fees.

Search engines do not scrape the entire internet every single time someone searches. They do routine scrapes of web content and create a cache of what was there, and search that cache. This is why updates to websites do not always reflect on searches.

You're contents are findable on Google because the last time they bothered to scrape that particular Reddit post was when your comment was intact, and they have not had a need to scrape it again since then.

The snort-laugh that I just made after reading your reply disturbed my dog. Thanks for the guffaw!
