I've always been a very fast writer. I send MUCH longer emails and messages than others. It drives people nuts. Many coworkers have complained. I wondered, is this autism or something? Nope. I just joined /r/Buddhism and can now say for sure: it's, uh, Buddhism, apparently.

Anyone ever put in a bunch of stick-on carpet tiles & have pro tips? The peel off backing hangs off the edges a bit so I can't lay them out perfectly with the backings on and I'm afraid they'll drift enough they won't line up fifteen tiles out from where I started. 😬

Hi I live in San Francisco can someone tell me what it means when the F number goes under 40 I didn't think it was supposed to do that also this morning when I got out of bed my body was shaking and my hands hurt and it was hard to pick things up help

Me when I go to buy a totally digital thing that clearly shouldn't require any human interaction on the other end and instead of pricing info or a purchase button there's a "contact us" button

I've introduced several people to my strategy for straw survival in the age of toilet paper tube straws. Here it is. Highly recommended.
