Unique trick to take longer to boil water useful in kitchen prep for longer cook times and taking longer to boil water
Stella McCartney Spring 2016 ⟋ Diagonal button line disrupts the classic polo
“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

This map is actually accurate. If you go to its source, WikiRug and click on each province, it will direct you to a wikirug page about that particular rug.
Why are there so many people certain Clark Backrooms is a terrible person. I've never owned a furniture store that I hate and I've never smashed glass in front of my wife but I found him deeply sympathetic/tragic. I'm sure he was absolutely wretched to be around in the five minutes his wife got to see him every day. More than that, I'm sure his depression over his lot in life and his constant vagueing that she was partially the reason for his lackluster career spread his sadness like an illness. I'm sure his ex-wife is better off without him. That being said, Clark isn't wrong when he says it sucks that he paid for their house and she's the one who took it in the divorce. It sucks he paid for her education and now that investment is gone. That being said (x2), Clark is clearly jealous he's paying for his wife's dream career when he feels like he can't pursue his own. Key phrase "feels like," because being in a rut doesn't mean that Clark is completely barred from pursuing architecture in other ways. Instead of drinking after work he could have poked around for contract jobs. He could have made friends with other architects bare minimum just for for the sake of engaging conversation. Easier said than done, though, no? Why aren't you doing your dream job? Why aren't you happy? The economy? Money? Your family? Inexperience? Mental health? Just the way you were wired? There's a reason why the Backrooms as a movie and a concept is popular right now. Fear of corporate monoculture, the decay of richer eras bleeding into the current year. People are walking out of the Backrooms movie into dead malls and making jokes, but its fear ethos is built around the dread that both our inner lives and the world have become stagnant, absurd and beyond our understanding. Something that sticks out to me about Clark is how much he sincerely wants to be a changed person. He pins all of his hope on therapy working. He goes to it consistently, he listens to Mary, reiterates her "open window" metaphor, goes to her first when he discovers the backrooms. We also see him listening to Mary's audiobook. Clark is trying to use Mary to improve. He really believes in her. And then we see Mary in an old home, on an old couch, framed by the camera in a sort of depressing way and staring absently at her audiobook advertised on TV. Mary doesn't seem too enthused about her own methods, but Clark is depending on her. It's so, so important that when Mary breaks down and shouts at Clark during the dinner scene, this genuinely gets him to pause. He asks her how to change, and she comes to the conclusion that she doesn't have an answer, informed by the mother she also couldn't fix. I don't blame Mary personally or anything, but she fails Clark, and she fails Clark because she can't leave her own mental loop that she's been stuck in since she was a child. I think the Backrooms presents an issue it refuses to solve, probably because, like Mary, it can't. How do you fix someone like Clark in a world that's built like this? How do you fix someone who is doing real, progressively worse harm, when you have the same issues they do? When it feels like everyone in the world is suffering from something similar? Mary shouting at Clark is cathartic because Clark has just done a series of insane and assholeish things, but it's also cathartic because "then don't change!" is a real answer, and we're afraid to admit it's a comforting one we'd like to give in to. The ending scene is so haunting because we see Mary crack the symbol of her mental loop, and despite that, Mary is yet again sitting across from someone in a chair, trying to discuss her feelings, beneath a sky she consistently remembers as bright blue with bright, white clouds. This is how we see her replicated in the backrooms. Anyways. Feel worse for Clark, ok?
Just learned about Bull Press, a tabletop publisher that focuses on games that are prison compliant (no hardcover, no dice, no maps), and their catalogue seems sick as hell. Def gonna pick smth up when I get paid next. They do a lot of donation work with books for prisoners programs!
As mentioned, Bull Press donate playbooks to prisons out of their own pocket. If you know somebody in prison you'd like to refer to receive books, you can email them with requests.
and if you want to support them:

apparently a requirement for working at poison control is a talent for stand-up comedy
When I was training to be a paramedic, we had one student ask the instructor what to do in the event of a marijuana overdose. The instructor said "Tell him to take two twinkies and call you in the morning."
Okay, there's a good reason for this though!
If the Please Do Not Eat That Professional thinks it's inconsequential enough to be funny, then the concerned caller knows it's no big deal. When I was a kid my mom called poison control because I ate not one but several crayons, and their advice was to make sure I didn't stray too far from a toilet for a few hours because suppositories are made of wax, too.
Also several years ago I ate half a sandwich while wondering why the hell it tasted so funny only to realize the Goo Gone I'd been cleaning with was leaking, and did so onto my sandwich. Poison Control now has an online form where you can put in what you ingested/how much/when/etc. and someone basically triages those out, so the kid who just drank a bunch of drain cleaner isn't in line behind the kid who ate a crayon. I got a call like twenty minutes later from a nurse who told me I was fine.
Oh! And if you want to know what the tool looks like, it now gives a "this is not a real case" option to let you test it out, so I became a hypothetical worried patient who accidentally took 1000mg of ibuprofen (max dose should be 800) instead of 1000mg of acetaminophen (which has a max dose of 1000) and ran the entire thing. It took me less than two minutes from this:
To this:
Below this screenshot I was advised to drink some water and that if symptoms developed in the next four hours, I should only be concerned in certain cases (e.g. nausea is normal, heart palpitations are a problem).
So what if it's a serious problem? Suddenly, hypothetical Nina was cleaning xir bathroom sink and got hit with some Drano splashback with xir eyes and mouth open! Here's what the tool suggested. As soon as I selected that I'd gotten Drano in my eyes, this popped up:
So I hypothetically went to rinse my eyes, came back, and indicated it'd also gotten into my mouth and onto my skin. Here was the result:
And finally, hypothetical!Nina made an extremely bad decision, then decided this wasn't how xe wanted things to end after all. So I selected the option that says I'd attempted self-harm, and this popped up. (I didn't get it in the screenshot, but there's a drawing of a sad snail at the top of the screen. I think it's supposed to remind you someone is there, this just isn't the best route to reach them.)
The tool covers literally thousands of substances, and it's fast to use. It'll ask your age, assigned sex at birth, what you were exposed to, how (ate/drank it, breathed it in, got it in your eyes, etc.), how much you were exposed to, how long ago, whether you notice any symptoms, and what zip code you're in. That's it, and it's right here if you need it, and as they told me when I said I felt dumb over my Goo Gone-ified sandwich, they'd rather I check and be fine than not check because I "felt silly" and end up dead.
