Reply to comment by 2lovesFL in Leica M2 from 1965. Still one of the best film cameras in the market. by slothsandstuffyeh
It's definitely an art/hobby thing these days, but there's a whole new wave of young people that seem to be fascinated by analogue cameras. Even Polaroid revivals are a thing with some. It's weird. :)

The Silent Generation didn't really, though. They were the previous "small" generation, then Boomers, (then Gen X was the next "small" generation). Pretty unfair to blame them for the Baby Boomers' actions.

And what's confusing is how anyone can possibly think this was ever the norm for most people. I just can't believe so many people seem to think sit-coms were reality. You had to be in the minority to ever have this luxury, to ever travel like this (at least in the USA) ever in your life. Most of the people I've ever known who were born in the USA of any age have still never been outside the USA unless they are financially well off, employer sent them for business, or in the military. Certainly most of the Silent Generation , like these ladies, only traveled abroad if they were in the military.

I find it odd that anyone was ever promised that.

Half inch thick plywood, edged with 1x1 or 1x2 oak supports. Never moves. I know some pantry shelves like this that are almost 30 years old and have never sagged. Filled with canned goods for most of that time.

Reply to comment by not_cinderella in Intermittent Fasting significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP), but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The effects are likely due to weight loss. by glawgii
Anecdotally, it seems to help some diabetics I know control their fasting blood glucose levels better. There is limited data on this so far, though.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32780629/
It is hypothesized that it may help reduce some negative aging effects, but the articles sadly seem to all be paywalled.

Tell them "wood burning range" and leave them to Google it. Or just keep OP's photo on your phone to show them.

Topically (touching your skin) it is lethal for insects (critters with an exoskeleton) but generally safe for mammals. 5 grams eaten per 20 kilograms (~44lbs) of body weight can be lethal. So, 5 grams eaten could kill a 44 pound child. So, use it on your nail, and keep the bottle put away out of reach of children, like every other medicine, and it should be fine.

Yes, and no. Warts aren't caused by a fungus (they're caused by a virus), so something else is going on there.

Men could also join clubs, community sports teams, etc.
