12. Hummingbird Glass Straws Clear Bent 9" x 9.5 mm Made With Pride In The USA - Perfect Reusable Straw For Smoothies, Tea, Juice, Water, Essential Oils - 4 Pack With Cleaning Brush

    Features:
  • GLASS STRAWS MADE IN THE USA — Each straw is handmade in our studio by glass artists and free of Chinese glass or materials. Certified BPA & Lead free premium glass.
  • PROTECTS YOU FROM TOXINS — Plastics contain a very dangerous chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to hormonal disruption, obesity, early puberty, as well as breast and prostate cancers. The coloring in plastic straws is also poisonous. Our glass straws are 100% non-toxic and will not cause any health problems.
  • REUSABLE AND ECO FRIENDLY — In the U.S. we use over 500 million plastic straws DAILY. Plastic is not biodegradable, meaning every plastic straw used since they were invented in 1938 is still around in some form, leaching toxic chemicals into the water and soil. The good news is that just one person switching to a Hummingbird Glass Straw can keep about 38,000 nasty plastic straws out of the environment forever!
  • RESISTS BREAKING — Remember those nearly indestructible Pyrex bowls and plates your mother and grandmother had? These are made of the exact same stuff! Naturally clear, this borosilicate glass is extra strong, making it both durable and safe to drink from.
  • CLEANS EASILY — Simply rinse them out after every use and you're ready to go. However, we do include a cleaning brush just in case you get a chunk of fruit from your smoothie wedged in there. Hummingbird Glass Straws are dishwasher safe, also… it doesn't get any easier than that! Don't contribute to pollution and risk your health by using plastic straws—get a Hummingbird Glass Straw 4-pack today! Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

Static mode helps develop strength in the tricks before moving on to the next level, while the spinning mode brings more elegance and fluidity to your movements.

Minimal assembly requires no bolts, screws, drilling or ceiling fixtures, making it easy to be set up or taken down following the installation manual without damaging your ceiling and floor.
  • 【Domes with silicone rubber】 The rim of the top and base domes is carefully wrapped with silicone rubber to avoid causing permanent markings on the ceiling or floor.

I get the joke but I actually do play Fallout 4 on my Ouya. Bought it on the cheap and it works amazingly to GameStream to the TV in my bedroom. Ouya even supports the USB XBOX 360 wireless reciever so I don't have to use the shit controller.

It really only works well with a wired connection but my house is wired for CAT5.

It's a pretty niche alternative to Steam Link but it works well for me!

This is what I got.

Fitness Tracker, Heart Rate Monitor Watch, Sokos Bluetooth Smart Fitness Tracker Armband | Wristband | Bracelet with OLED Display and free iOS Android APP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EHVE5NA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_16rNxb79B8M7E

It has a pedometer, heart rate monitor, calorie counter, distance walked, it keeps track of your sleep patterns and let's you know your habits. The battery lasts a long time, it alerts you to texts, Facebook messenger, phone calls, Twitter, etc and let's you preview messages. The app has worked flawlessly for me so far and this thing seems ridiculously accurate.

Here's a couple of screenshots of the app.

for those of you who want a great layman's explanation of E=MC^2 delivered through some pretty fascinating stories check out E=MC^2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation by David Bodanis

it is very good

You should check out "No Easy Answers" by Brooks Brown (https://www.amazon.com/No-Easy-Answers-Behind-Columbine/dp/1590560310). Pretty good book. Brooks is the one that Eric (iirc) said to "... go home. I like you today" just before the attacks started. He was good friends with Eric growing up. Some real talk in the book.

I'm assuming so. Once again, innocent from the kids perspective. You might've been a little hurt (depending how sensitive you were), but I guarantee the mom felt super bad.

My favourite one was being in a book store when my oldest (and only at the time) was like one and a half. I was looking at something, and she was looking at some books like 5 feet away from me, and walked over holding up some book called "What White People Like" (she obviously had no idea), and there was a black person right beside us.

Edit: "Stuff" White People Like (https://www.amazon.ca/Stuff-White-People-Like-Definitive/dp/0812979915)

I suspect that the number of Trekkies who would have you believe that they're fluent in Klingon is much higher than the actual number of Trekkies who are fluent in Klingon.

I mean, the media seems really fascinated by the notion that there are a bunch of nerds running around speaking some fictional nerd language (hence the portrayal of such in shows like The Big Bang Theory), but it just doesn't make any sense. Yes, Klingon is a fully realized language constructed by a real-ass linguist and all that, but all that means is that it takes just as much time and effort to learn as a real language, and without the benefit of being able to find any real level of immersion (the snippets of Klingon in the show certainly aren't enough, so you're pretty much stuck with reading Hamlet in Klingon). And anyone who's devoting all those hundreds or thousands of hours to learning a fictional language, as opposed to the many actual useful skills or languages that a nerd could learn in that same amount of time, probably isn't getting outside enough for you to ever actually meet them.

u/Ibrey · 25 pointsr/thatHappened

Yeah, books in the ancient world were luxury items that cost the equivalent of hundreds of dollars each; writing materials were not cheap, and each copy of a book required the services of a skilled scribe to write it out by hand. (E. Randolph Richards estimates prices for some of these goods and services in Paul and First-Century Letter Writing.) The evangelists would probably each have wanted a copy of their gospel for themselves, plus a few to send to the churches in Christian centres like Rome, Antioch, and Alexandria in the hope they would disseminate it further. A few chapters of extraneous information about Jesus' teenage years = $$$$

u/Informalmoose3 · 4 pointsr/thatHappened

I could believe it. Me and a few friends convinced a slightly sheltered girl that saying "its all Gucci" or something along those lines and throwing up the shocker was a cool thing and she got many weird looks and stares until we told her what that hand gesture was.

Assuming you're talking about the OP in the picture, Funko Pops are these little dolls that are figures of basically anything popular (ex. Han Solo, Ash Ketchum, Tarzan). They're sold every where, like, literally every where. Hot Topic sells things that are pop-culture and popular, so they sell a lot. There's a lot of people that don't like them because of how over-produced they are.

u/mbene913 · 27 pointsr/thatHappened

You wrap it in those heat pack things. You know, you shake then and then they are warm. You use them in the winter. I wanna say "hot pockets" but that's a food.

Found it

Wait, so all I have to do to learn to play the piano is stare at a wrinkled foil painting of Mozart for four hours?

That sounds much better than lessons. I'm going to have to go see if Amazon has mozart chocolate balls.

Oh boy, they do! Prodigy-level piano skills, here I come!

No More Mr. Nice Guy is a great book that explains why if you/anyone are/is interested. This is a actually a very serious and prevalent issue that has an unhealthy influence on both (or more, if kids etc.) people in the relationship.

u/BerthaBenz · 2 pointsr/thatHappened

Here you go.
Only $5.50, and well worth it. They even accept payment in Federal Reserve notes!

Dear OP: I have a book recommendation for you!

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by Oliver Sacks (Amazon link)

>individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; patients no longer able to recognize people and common objects; patients whose limbs have become alien

Understand that, of course, even the authors first impulse is "bullshit".

Then he started doing clinical tests and ... just read the book.

Brains ARE weird.

u/LoveLaughGFY · 16 pointsr/thatHappened

Yes. There’s a reusable metallic elliptical device designed to facilitate the process as well. Amazon sells them: here

There was a German version of this a couple of years ago. It's from a 2006 book in which the author collected similar quotes. She wrote like 30 books like this.
