First the flavor, then the buZzz settles in....
So is it better to pump your own gas or have someone pump it for you?

I lived in Jersey where they pump it for you and Florida where you pump it yourself. I'd rather do it myself than wait on someone. Although I have to admit I miss them washing the windows without being asked.

Nobody I know uses the full serve side of the station because they do not want to pay the extra cent or whatever it cost. And a gas station worker was killed and dragged by some idiot doing a gas and run, so now everyone has to go in and pay first before they can pump any gas.

Did you know some people get a severe reaction from Capsaicin cream for arthritis. I was at the doctors office the other day and he suggested I try some topical cream for my arthritis. One of the brands he suggested was Capsaicin.
I told him that I had tried it and had gotten terrible results. I had rubbed it on the tops of my feet. It burned my skin. I kept my feet in ice water with ice cubes for like 6 hours. He laughed. I told him not to suggest that to anyone that I was serious.
So I'm passing this tidbit of info to whomever reads this - Capsaicin might be the worst product I ever used. It could possibly burn your skin. I was reading the reviews many many people with the same exact problem. I wonder why they keep making it? It must help some people, I don't know how?

I've used Thera-Gesic on an old shoulder injury when it flares up every once in awhile. Works great. Pain gone within a few minutes of application. Ya may want to check it out.

Did you know that when you remember a past event, you’re actually remembering the last time you remembered it?

And that each such reiteration of the memory is called a 'repisode' in experimental psychology.

And that each reiteration is always less accurate than the previous one.
It's fun learning new stuff. I never knew that this is how memory works.

Probably n00bs like the ones who work for geeksquad. I mean the only possible way for it to brick a computer would be to mess with the bios and I dont see how that would be possible.Did you know that Win10 Eval copy can turn your PC into a brick?
I actually had to go into the Microsoft Store, and they couldn't even fix it. So, they had to give me a brand new SP3.
Guess who's not beta testing Windows 10 anymore.....

Is it unhealthy to masturbate frequently?
No. Masturbation is a natural, healthy, and relatively safe process. Although there are hundreds of old wives tales and false facts about masturbating, scientific research has yet to discover evidence that masturbating is unhealthy. So all those myths of “your hands will become hairy”, or “you will go blind”, or absolutely and scientifically wrong.
Masturbation in males actually linked to a decrease in prostate cancer
In a study of over 200,000 people, scientists aimed to test the theory that frequent masturbation increased the risk for prostate cancer (1). After concluding the study, scientists found that males that masturbated an average of 4-7 times a month showed no increase/decrease in a risk of getting prostate cancer. Surprisingly, they actually found that men that masturbated more than 21 times per month showed a lower chance in getting prostate cancer (1).
Although some people have reported discomfort from excessive masturbation, there are scientifically no serious or dangerous side effects of masturbation for men or women (2).

Maybe not, but that does not stop them losing their heads.

You may have already heard the story of Centralia, PA, a coal mining town that had some 1,000 inhabitants at its peak. Now, that population is down to 9. It's become a ghost town for one of the most bizarre reasons imaginable--a fire started in 1962 to burn trash in a dump inadvertently spread to a coal seam underground and has simply never stopped burning. The most recent report, published Dec. 1st in the Bismarck Tribune, confirms that the fire continues to this day--it's lasted an incredible 47 years so far.

The Coal Fire of Centralia
The fire, which was started by five members of the volunteer fire company when they were hired by the town council to clean up the landfill, was not properly extinguished and spread to become one of the longest burning coal fires. According to Thinking Blog, which provides a short history of the fire, the landfill was located in an abandoned strip mine pit and as the firemen had in the past, they set the dump on fire, let it burn for a time, and then extinguished the fire, or so they thought.

coal seam fires are such a freaky thing... burning for as long as there is fuel avaliable.... one noted to have been burning for 6000 yearsI was watching this on the History channel.

there is even a company that wants to set more coal seam fires to catch the gasses created by it....
wtf.
Awesome thread!
Did you know all bananas today are GMO's? Wild bananas have seeds and the most commonly sold and eaten banana is the Cavendish. Every single Cavendish banana is genetically EXACTLY the same. They are all clones, descendants of one single banana. In fact, they’re all sterile, and each new banana plant has to be manually planted from a cutting of existing banana roots.
banana facts
Did you know my facts were found on the internet, so they must be true?
