  • You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

    I don’t think I do know actually. But here’s an attempt at answering this question anyway:

    And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

    We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it’s only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.





  • Start with praise and honest opinion.

    So which is it?

    Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that’s just my stereotypical German directness.



  • the bill’s language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member’s recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could “find a deserved grave”.

    An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

    I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.










  • What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
    If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.


  • Dass du nächstes Jahr ein 2 für 1 Angebot finden wirst, möchte ich nicht garantieren, aber generell sind Sonnencremeangebote zu Beginn des Sommers üblich, ja.

    Mit dem auf Vorrat kaufen wäre ich bei Sonnencreme vorsichtig, weil der Schutz irgendwann nachlässt. Geöffnet sollte man sie normalerweise nicht mehr im nächsten Sommer verwenden. Geschlossen ist das bestimmt länger, aber ich persönlich bin da lieber auf der sicheren Seite.
