Reply to TIL that green grocery store bananas that have 'sharp' edges, rather than a more circular cross section, were likely harvested premature and they are unlikely to ripen after you take them home. by 80see
The dieticians prefer you to eat them more green than yellow. The yellow it gets the carbs from fiber become carbs from sugar so your net carbs increase (at least that's my understanding). But somethings just are not worth longevity and eating green bananas is one of them.

There are cooling pillows designed to stop over heating. But if nothing seems to help definitely go to a doctor.

Reply to comment by twofeetcia in My local library has a "Top 10 Most Challenged Books" display by elwood612
I thought that was a Qu'ran at first. I've heard of them being challenged, especially in the context of post 9/11 Islamophobia, but I'm glad to see they didn't top the list of challenges books.
Thanks to Florida pretty much every book can claim to be challenged now š I bet every person so afraid of the "liberal agenda" let their kids read The Little Hen which is about as communist as it gets.

Reply to TIL that the Brazilian village of Candido Godoi, 7k inhabitants mostly of German descent, have the greatest birth rate of twins in the world (1/5 births). Some believe it is the result of genetic experiments of nazi medic Mengele, notorious for his obsession with creating an Aryan race. by greenland1237
I wonder how many random little towns across south America are predominantly German descent.

Reply to TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
I try to not people on pedestals - none of us are without flaw or regret - but I praise his name nearly every day. I freaking love peanut butter.

Reply to Ukrainian refugee 'went home to see doctor as Scottish wait too long' by Thefriendlyfaceplant
It doesn't actually say how long the wait is. What kind of wait are they experiencing in Scotland? And what kind of procedures are 1 in 6 Scots performing on themselves due to these wait times??

I get what you're saying. And I agree.
I'm facing my parents' mortality and it feels wrong to have to survive the death of the only people you've known your whole life - who have known you through it all. Not unnatural just not fair. Though life has no obligation to fairness somehow that doesn't ease the pain.

I would say the opposite. That it was so common for your children to not survive infancy or survive beyond 5 that there didn't need to be a word. People used to not even name their child until after their first birthday. And a lot of cultures celebrate a child's birth months or years after the birth because they have survived long enough.

Is there a particular part you're less fanatical about? Traveling, family obligations, gift shopping, decorating, or just it all in general? I'm hoping there's a way to compromise so the balance between your happiness and social expectations is readjusted.

I think they're referring to grades. A 70% is a c which is called Average in the states. But in reality, it's the last grade you can have before failing.

That's a good point and something I noticed.
School aged people 100% have a timeline. For their school grade, physical, mental, social, and emotional ability. Missing mile markers is often cause for concern.
But in your 20s there so many different paths you can take but in your 30s some of those paths become harder to return from for simple biological reasons.

I spent my 20s on my mental health. Now I'm only just working on a house, marriage, kids. I may look like I'm behind but I'm the only calm head when something bad happens.
We all take different paths.
