    Random, unidentified injuries seem more and more common the older I get. In your case I'd say it's almost certainly skating related :D

    The government did it in the UK a few months ago, a way of testing the emergency alert system. Everybody thought it was in case we have a nuclear exchange with Russia or something. Your phone may screech...uhh..alarmingly.

    It was feared it would cause car accidents and such, but in practise, nothing bad happened. A few dirty looks at the cinema, mind.

    the two scenarios I heard where it could be kind of bad were in the case of victims of domestic violence having a hidden phone and prisoners having a hidden phone

    I keep hearing how genetic scientists are working to make a Wooly Mammoth.

    We can’t seem to keep the human scum from killing the elephants that are left on the planet.

    Why Wooly Mammoths?
    Seems incredibly stupid to me. 🤯

    It is absolutely stupid. I say this as a man of science who spent a decade working in the field of genetics; often the reasons cited by the scientific community for carrying out (insert morally questionable experiment here) are utterly bogus, and the truth of the matter is closer to "we can so we will" meanwhile people clap along to this sort of thing because bringing back mammoths "would be cool".

    You'd have thought we'd have learned something from the other 5,000 times we've f---ed things up with short sightedness. But no, our hubris knows no bounds.

    I only have about 500 calories left for the day and it's only like 1pm. I can't walk the dog because it's raining and I'm babysitting. Hopefully I can do some exercise tonight. I don't want to overeat or eat til maintenance level, but I probably will to keep my sanity. I've been eating within my calories all week and my weight hasn't gone down, even though I drank two or three litres of water before I went to bed last night. I thought I would pee some fat out, but no. I wish I had some NSVs to lean on. Haven't really noticed anything different today.

    It's in a weird spot. Probably walked into something....I'll have to go measure it up with a table or counter top 😂

    Actually you don't "pee it out", it comes out as vapor as you breath--sort of like a furnace burning fuel.
