Same. I've been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.

Apparently he's a Quaker, so maybe that's how the euthanasia stance can pass muster. But Quakerism might also make even less sense with his views on race? I don't know enough about the reality of Quakerism to say.

Quakers have a history of being anti-racist, but views on stuff like abortion and euthansia cam vary a lot. Quakerism is big on both individual conscience but also social justice and activism. It's an interesting denomination.

Fitness Adventure Pro for the Switch. Is it an amazing game? No. But it is a fitness game, which means I can get a workout without any equipment to set up and break down, and without having to leave my house. I've only been using it a few weeks and I can already feel a difference.

The "tastes worse from a press" is entirely dependent on the material of the press you're using. Garlic reacts with stainless steel, hence those stainless steel "soap bars" they make to remove garlic smell from your hands. I got a zinc press for this exact reason.

I was 21 in 2008. The cat in my profile pic, Oscar, was born in April that year, and I adopted her in June. She died of complications from kidney disease last July, at the age of 17. Time moves too fast.

Having suffered with untreated sleep apnea for several years (I have a CPAP now, thank God), I can tell you that you're not gonna be able to do this for four week, let alone four years. Sleep deprivation won't kill you instantly but it will make you feel like you're dying, and also make you want to be dead. Whatever the solution to your problems is, this ain't it.

What the hell are these regional groups? Why is Mexico not part of North America? Why is ALL of Asia grouped with Australia and NZ?

Echoing a statement from the American College of Radiology after the study's release, she stressed that the study's projection of cancer diagnoses from CT scans was based on statistical modeling, not actual patient outcomes.

There are no published studies directly linking CT scans to cancer, the statement says. [emphasis mine]

Without hard data to back it up, this study is fairly meaningless.
