Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I'm dumb too.

But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he's in there and keeps him cool enough (I've asked)

Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it's too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.

This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.

Death Note? I just watched the first episode last night (I'm late to anime)

If not, what is it, and should I watch?

In case anyone was wondering if cancer got her, she died in 1942 at age 33 in a plane crash.

This is the safe space to ask a question you have that you are afraid other people would find stupid.

It's especially good for things some people feel are common sense, but that others just managed to miss growing up.

Here's an example. My husband is really smart. But he moved schools a lot over a 3 year period. He managed to completely miss kids being taught 1 is January, 2 is February, etc for dates. He just never learned it.

He knows his birthday in number form. But if he needs, say May 23rd in number form, he'll look it up or ask me which number May is.

Some people would classify that as a stupid question and be a dick about it. I just answer him. I know he's tried to learn it, he's just never sure if he's right and knows I know.

This sub operates under the good faith that there are no stupid questions, just people who legit missed something along the way.

In life, I would argue, there are stupid questions. But for me, it's only in situations where someone is clearly just asking questions to make you break, or clearly not listening and asking the same questions over and over without even trying to pay attention, and lastly, weaponized incompetence where people are acting like that because they don't want to do something and won't just say no. Basically questions that are exclusively to waste someone else's time are the only really stupid questions irl imho

But here, you get the benefit of the doubt if you don't know how to properly brush your teeth, or why May is 5 and July is 7.

I believe the name originated on reddit, and an accurate name would be "thereAreNoStupidQuestionsHere" but the shorter version is what got the brand recognition, but the confusion is understandable

Yes, I shake the fuel nozzle. After dribbling gasoline down the car's paint more than once, I always tap tap before I pull it completely out.
