Can mosquitos even suck blood from a leech? I feel like blood probably doesn’t taste as good when it’s secondhand.

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

Looks in bread to me.

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…

Brb gonna puke from my own mental image

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.

I don’t know which episode, but the signs originally said “we don’t take itchy & scratchy money”. Hope that helps!

As a tradeoff, cooking for yourself also saves quite a bit of money compared to eating out. You’ll spend more on ingredients but less on staff to prep and clean and serve. And with a enough practice, some of the food you make can be better than what you get in the restaurant. 🤭

Cross stitching is an extremely inexpensive hobby. You can get started cross stitching for less than $20, if it’s a small project. It does require a lot of time as a tradeoff, but can be a very fun way to express your creative side and make cute gifts for friends.

If you have a computer, learning to program is literally free. It’ll take time and discipline but I personally enjoy it and the mental challenge it presents.

It’s not actually blue. If there are two full moons in the same calendar month, the second full moon is referred to as “blue”. It will be the same color it always is.

It would be a helluva lot cooler if it actually was blue, but alas…

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

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.

Do the comments still show after you empty your own browser’s cache too? That seems less likely to be the culprit, but worth a check to be certain.

Elsewhere in this post there’s also a helpful user who notes that the mass-editing programs can only handle a thousand comments. Is it possible this is why some of your comments are still there?

They said the originals do not appear on their account on Reddit. They also said they edited their original posts to be empty. They’re able to edit and delete their modified (empty) comments based on what I understand of their post.

I don’t see anything in OP’s post that indicates Reddit.com itself is displaying the originals, only the search engines are, and the cache would be the reason why.

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!

I agree fake, but only because this knitted piece would require a single noodle many yards long in order to achieve this length. Unless this is a singular noodle of epic proportions, there’s no way this could be done.

A standard ramen noodle would get you two, maybe 3 rows before running out.
