    This was pretty much the case for my son. His grandmother watched him during the day and she would hold him over the toilet every time his face looked like he needed to go. We had something like two dirty diapers over the next 18 months. He'd pee in them, but that's a lot easier to deal with...

    Babies really have a staggering amount of mental work to do when you step back and think about it. They have no language and no framework to think about anything. They have to derive an internal model of objects, gravity, vision, hearing, interpersonal relationships (never mind what a person is...

    This isn't really true. The denaturing of proteins is a symptom of heat, not a special property of microwaves. As long as you don't overheat the food, your proteins are safe. The bigger risk with microwaving bottles is uneven heating. Babies' mouths are very delicate and if they suck in a pocket...

    Chest freezers?

    Chest freezers are great. I filled up a 7 cuft unit buying food on sale at Costco and it probably paid for itself, including electricity, in a year. (We had 4 adults and 2 kids in the household - YMMV.)

    Exactly. Sure, he put Lawler on his butt, but Hendricks didn't establish a stable, dominant position more than once or twice and then lost it immediately afterwards. That shouldn't count for anything and apparently didn't in one judge's eyes.

    Good. They should give 10-8 rounds about 10x more often than they do.

    I'm surprised given how the judging has historically gone, but I'm not dissatisfied with the decision. Fuck Hendricks for phoning in round 5 and those lameass, do-nothing takedowns. Lawler should have been awarded a bonus point just for the heart he showed in the last 15 seconds.

    I have Plex on a NUC running Ubuntu. It's plugged into my TV and I can use any of our smartphones/tablets/laptops as a remote. For me, the best part about running Plex is the on-the-fly transcoding to various devices. If I want to watch something in bed while me wife is asleep the server will...

    "I understand you struck my son." "He stole John Wick's car and killed his dog." "....... Oh." Lol. That exchange and the one where the policeman comes to the front door had me rolling. Great movie, for reasons already discussed. I felt like the ending was a little weak, but I'll...

    No one paying attention would ever let you step over their neck like that from the 50/50. If they provide any resistance at all with the entangled leg you'd never be able to get your hips high enough on their torso. Most of the time from 50/50 it's a struggle just to get your back and hips off...

    Wresting is just another animal in terms of the amount of physical suffering. I don't mean to diminish the conditioning of pro soccer players at all, but it's not the same as having to do a similar shit-ton of cardiovascular work while another angry man is using direct weight and leverage to try...

    can you tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps?

    11/11. I'm 35, not sure what my vision is now but I used to have 20/15 when I was younger. I can seen the fps difference nearly instantly, but it doesn't bother me to the point where I'd spend $$$ to get one over the other.

    Low hips makes those throws easier. The only way your opponent can be "too tall" is if your hips are below their knees, or if they can completely bridge over your hips by posting their hands and feet on the ground at the same time (though you're almost always securing at least one arm anyway)...

    What's the current popular wisdom on monitors? Are IPS panels fast enough now that ghosting isn't much of an issue? I've used TN's since forever to avoid blurry games, but more and more of my time is spent in productivity software and I'm leaning towards IPS's nicer colors and view angles.

    I'm not sure about how it effects getting pregnant, but stress can increase the likelyhood of miscarriage once you're already pregnant. The operating theory is that cortisol can lower the production of progesterone, which is critical in early fetal viability. And yes, here's a real study. The...

    Correct. Hand balls are only a penalty if done intentionally. If you touch the ball because you can't move out of the way fast enough or if you are protecting yourself, it doesn't count. The Belgian player was clearly just running and, with no time to react, had the ball kicked to where his arm...
