I am the wife.

So are we actually on the same page? It seems we agree with each other, which is nice.

Yep, it's that old, but very recyclable.

Why use a pump when you have a diver.

This is an old one, but I always enjoy telling it in new contexts:

Trump walks outside the White House aimlessly. He slowly picks up a stone, inspects it closely, then puts it back and continues his slow walk.

Vance is worried and calls the Kremlin for help.

"We'll look into it, Mr. Vance... hang on... Oh. We're terribly sorry, the fault is ours. By mistake we've sent him the instructions meant for Lunokhod.

Is it being shit in bed if you don't push your partner to do stuff they don't feel like doing? Is a partner shit in bed if they feel uncomfortable with some stuff? Are there mandatory ways to make love and to enjoy sex?

Laughing at someone is hostile. Parting ways amicably is much better. I also think that men should not be pressed to do things they don't want to do in bed. Also, not every woman enjoys the same methods, so teaching a man something might not work for his next partner. People have different tastes in sexual stuff. It's necessary to communicate and be prepared that there can be different preferences. It's ok if someone doesn't want to do some stuff in bed.

Agree. Let me add that some women don't orgasm at all or do orgasm and don't like it - yes, the world is a diverse place.

Communication is key in any relationship.

I'd argue that people are not obligated to learn. If they don't want to learn what you need to be happy with them, leave them. Don't push them to do something they don't want to do. There's no reason to be hostile about it.

Siphonophores are all fascinating and Praya especially so!

Also the surgeries often have to be done from the front, so doctors have to put organs out of the way, operate the spine, put everything back. It's really scary. Everytime I think of it I start sitting a little more upright.

This is nice, but I can't stop thinking of all the women and girls in Afghanistan, that were just recently stripped of ALL rights, including the right to speak when they want. Availability of arteries on men doesn't do anything for them.
