The plural of spouse should be spice. Mormons have many spice.

Just got back from H&M to get some underwear, and — as I was unpacking them to get them into the wash — I happened to glance at one of the packages, where the features of said pants was laid out:
• Durable fit (Okay, cool, I don't want them to lose their shape, I suppose)
• Breathable (Excellent, though assumed. If you're selling pants made of non-breathable fabric, maybe you should get out of the underwear business, because you clearly don't know what you're doing)
• Support (Err ... eh?)Why lay this out? Support? Okay, some guys want their package held in place, but I wouldn't call that 'support', as such.
Testicles are not breasts. They're tiny wee things by comparison, and weigh nothing. They don't necessarily need 'support'.
I mean, come on. It's a slippery slope from 'support' to 'push-up', and then where will we be?
'PUSH-UP PANTS, FOR MAXIMUM BALL CLEAVAGE.'
- On the other hand, since people are tanning their arseholes, I suppose all bets are off, at this point.Continuity
- Maybe an underwire for the ballsack? Or maybe two little underwires, one for each of the boys?
This is how you Idle Thoughts, people.Continuity - And actually, if you're not buying boxer shorts, isn't 'support' assumed anyway? Like, that's the whole point of buying not-boxers, right? Why point it out?Continuity
- Ha! Nairn and Continuity inventing a new 21st century literary movement in front of our eyes. Keep it coming, bravo sirs.fadein11
- Bro have you even seen an old man’s ballsnb
- I submit to you, sir, that that's irrelevant. Not-boxers would hold his geriatric scrot in place, as they would a young man's (like me).Continuity
- We're not trying to lift our 'nads in a show-off position with our undies, you know.Continuity
- That’s “support”nb
- Eh. To me, 'suppose' means more 'lift' rather than 'hold in place'.Continuity

i'm curious as to how this study of penis sizes came to be done.
i mean, assuming you decide that this is a thing worth doing (really? i mean, really really?), then presumably you have to lay out some ground rules.
for instance how do you ensure the measurements are taken consistently? was it one person travelling the world with their tape measure, or did they recruit a whole team of measurers. and if so, how was that advert worded? "wanted: penile proportion professionals"? and what sort of person would take on such a job? how were they sure their subject was fully erect each time?
and once you have assemble your team, if your study is going to be meaningful, then the team all have to be consistent in their method of measuring. were they equipped with a special measuring device - and if so, what does this device look like? (how many were made?) or just given a ruler and a set of instructions as to where to measure from (side, bottom, top, etc etc)?
and how did this team go about recruiting people to be measured? facebook ads? were the samples large enough to be meaningful statistically?
etc etc....
- I imagine there's been workshops for medical staff on the subject. You know, extra training.

I wonder if there are cut shots of Phil going really dark with Rita in Groundhog Day? I mean, some have calculated he might've been there for over thirty years... .

Spite packages.
You decide to annoy someone overseas wherein taxes would be involved on packages sent. Mail a box filled with bricks valued at £5000 and see what happens.
- You wouldn't be able to send a large package like that without any form of pre-pay as it'd have to either be dropped off somewhere or picked up.microkorg
- and the postal/courier company would need to scan shit or need you to pay to stick shit on it.microkorg
- Would be better and more anonymous sending via postboxes. Send lots of letters (via different postboxes) with either sheets of lead/metal or chunks of slate.microkorg
- and dont put stamps on. receiver has to pay to receive them.microkorg
- I just yesterday sent a package with self-declared customs slips which are read by the receiving tax agency in a foreign country. All I paid was postage.Nairn
- I mean, I suppose the obvious thing is the recipient could simply refuse delivery. Better to do a few small ones, as you suggest.Nairn

The pyramids of Egypt have been built by aliens. There’s no other way to explain the majestic feat in engineering without any sophisticated tools and machines.
- The ‘Aliens built the _________,’ claim has its roots in the colonial attitude that only enlightened Europeans are advanced enough to harness sophisticated....Morning_star
- ...engineering and architectural techniques. It was a common belief that he people’s of Africa and the Middle East were too primitive to have constructed...Morning_star
- ...such wonders. Compounded over the years by HG Wells, Von Daniken and the like it is now a common misconception and an essentially racist position.Morning_star
- Not even Europeans could’ve built the pyramids. The ancient Egyptians were either much further in knowledge and technology than we thought or aliens.NBQ00
- There is so much math and precision in building all the pyramids and other things it’s just insane. On top of all the physical feat of actually building it.NBQ00
- Do you have a link or two that I could use to read up on. The mystery has always intrigued me but I’ve always felt that a more earthly explanation was likely...Morning_star
- ...I’ve seen a couple of theAncient Aliens type programmes on discovery but felt that they were just sensational and took leaps that were unlikely. Thx.Morning_star
- Scientists still have no idea how they carved or moved the 80 tonne stone blocks into place or how they erected the pyramids. Every time someone claims...utopian
- ...they solved how they were built, it has been debunked.utopian
- From what I understand most of the quarrying techniques have been proven, the use of copper tools and slave labour. There are some missing elements that...Morning_star
- ...are to be discovered regarding transportation and which method of ramping was used to place the blocks but it’s pretty much agreed by historians and...Morning_star
- ..engineers. They are a magnificent human achievement and all possible with the knowledge of the time, so how are you so certain there is some higher ...Morning_star
- ...intelligence involved?Morning_star
- C’mon, it’s literally just stacking rocks. It’s not like they invented the cellphone. THAT shit seems crazier to mescarabin
- Slaves theory has been debunked long time ago. It wasn’t slaves. All the workers were employed and well fed/ paid.NBQ00
- Scarabin, it’s not just stacking rocks. Look into what it takes to build those pyramids. From cutting stones, to transportation, to geometric perfection...NBQ00
- ...to all the inner architecture with passages, chambers. And of course all the countless other monuments.NBQ00
- There's a good documentary called Stargate you should watch, it covers a lot of what is being discussed.PhanLo
- Didn't the same thing happen in South America? Europeans still living in their own shit unable to comprehend the scale and beauty of the buildings?PhanLo
- Slaves or skilled stoneworkers, it doesn't matter, it still doesn't mean aliens were involved.Morning_star

I'm tired of designers being the only people required to have to walk through portfolios, wireframes, working files, and concepts when applying for jobs. Why don't product managers, marketing managers, developers, etc. need to go in-depth as much as designers?!?!? When you think about it, nobody else needs to jump through as many hoops as designers when it comes to applying for jobs.
You want to see case studies, working files, wireframes, etc. Do you want me to just show you how to do it all while I'm at it. I'm often finding myself asking the product managers the same questions and they get so defensive. I mean, they don't really do much anyway but take credit for design work so I thought it made sense to have the head of product walk me through his thinking for a recent project

No offense, but deep thought is not really one of QBN's strong points.

I watched Asteroid City last night.
I like a lot of Wes' movies but I find myself getting distracted from the plot by how nice each and every shot is.
I feel like I need to re-watch.

The main problem with suicide is you only get to experience one option. Imagine the untold horrors of everything we never saw in Groundhog Day.
