  • I don’t know who will find this information helpful but I wish I knew when I was young.

    A woman is only fertile during about 5 days each lunar cycle. Unfortunately those days are the most fun but the other 24 are safer.

    Testicles descend when it’s hot to cool down because heat kills sperm. If you buy a microscope, and dunk your sack in hot water for a few minutes each day, you can become temporarily sterile and verify it with the microscope.

    Finally, there’s a point you can press just in front of your anus that suppresses ejaculation. Any one of those things by itself would be risky but all three and it would be nearly impossible to fertilize an egg.





  • Try earplugs! Even just turning the volume down 70% changes the intensity of words. With earplugs in I could let somebody curse at me to my face and just let it slide. But without, even ambient noises add to a state of unease. A motorcycle driving by has a lot of subtle negative impact to everybody who hears it. You don’t have to be deaf to enjoy the benefits of silence. Hearing is a choice, but most people default to full open.

    I don’t want to be brutal or anything but this is a really horrible way to murder 4 people, and the only fitting punishment is to execute her by mushroom poisoning. Notice the timeline it took the survivor 7 weeks to recover, and those who died it was over a week of hospitalized pain and organ failure.

    Also her estranged husband is kind of complicit? He suspected attempted poisoning twice before and declined the lunch? But you don’t warn your parents? That might be hard to live with.





  • There’s a machine that cores, peels, and makes spiral slice apples. You can then with one knife cut turn it into rings, which dry easily in a food dehydrator. If you’re making juice, I’ve heard a mop bucket works pretty well for pressing. It’s pretty easy to ferment apple juice with cider yeast, champagne yeast, or even beer yeast. If you freeze distill hard cider it becomes apple jack - you freeze hard cider in a bowl and drop it into a salad spinner to leave the frozen water in the center. Apple sauce is also a good base for homemade fruit leather with any other fruit.


  • A relationship is more than just a promise or commitment. A relationship is a chance for both participants to grow and challenge each other, while also supporting each other. It also makes your domestic life easier, as each partner only does have the work (in a slightly larger quantity). Relationships are not transactional. Each person gives when they have capacity, and each person receives when they don’t. Strengths and weaknesses cancel out and both are better off together.

    It sounds like you’re not currently interested in a relationship. Probably best to be up front about that with your candidates.
