You know what the worst part of that is? The sellers make bank from the idiots buying. I met two people the other day who left their jobs as aerospace engineers because selling the online supplements increased their income by 6-7 times.

It's not just whether tap water is potable, it's also about availability. My job gives us water in bottles because we're mobile for 12 hours at a time, and nowhere near accessible water pipes. I guess I'm fucked.

The truth. Depending on the context they will either report how many military veterans they employ (so just tabulation that goes to a checkbox if they bid for a government contract), or it involves military benefits in some manner, which will quickly come back to haunt you if you 'lied' on application docs.

They have some basic strategies to use there. My go to method is to create stories. I find studying to be intensely boring, and I will either zone out or just stop when it quickly gets boring. Stories, on the other hand, are exciting and fun. I definitely still have stories from twenty or thirty years ago bouncing around inside my head. Random snippets from reading books is where I get my large trove of trivia.

So for your medical terms, try creating stories that involve real world adjacent plots. Maybe the Kingdom of Aorta had a schism, and split into multiple factions vying for power. The Brachiocephalic lords went first, taking the right half of the kingdom with them, but the northern common carotids couldn't find agreement with the subclavians on anything, so they went their separate ways. That sort of thing.

Mnemonics are amazing too. I don't know a single person who didn't find it easier to remember the cranial nerves after "Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl's vagina, ah, heaven!" Or the adrenal glands' "Salt, sugar, sex, the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets" for remembering your "go fuck rats" of the cortex's layers. Obviously the 'carnal' things are easier to remember because they intrigue your mind in a more powerful association. That might just be me... but it does seem like the majority of us who are playing with other people's bodies have good sex drives.

It's not always about the cost saving. Sometimes it's just because it gets more customers! Brominated flour, as an example.

Spaghetti with a little butter melted on it.

You know the saddest part? My family wasn't 'poor.' My father just wouldn't give my mother money for groceries, and shopping for food was a woman's job. I don't know how we, or she, made it through until the divorce.

Already did! They can't ban my blood from helping others now, can they!

uberautism, thank you very much. You've got to use fancy foreign words to make your mark, don't ya know¿

Lol, he's right. I got measles, or... at least, an attenuated version from the FFUKCING MMR VVAccine, you dolt!

I wish I could be that popular, but I'd end up talking to the folks on the wall as I debate firework integrity.

Sory.

Edit: Sorry

Great, now I'm on another list, but it's not a cool one like "Most dangerous average person list."

It's more like, "People who cracked up watching a trump analogue wear a bronzed putin-bull's testicles.'
