Giovanni has taken whole-heartedly to the chopsticks and prefers to use them over a fork.Maj wrote:The super-awesome woman who works there gave Giovanni a pair of "training" chopsticks, and I learned how kids learn how to use chopsticks. They're connected at the top with loops for your fingers (something like this {OK, amazon, stupid rabbit}). They're pretty cool. My son likes to use them at home to eat blueberries.

In high school I had... some virus that lasted 3+ months and permanently weakened my immune system. Heck, I still get the tingly "you should cough!" feeling in my throat every time I eat ice cream.Count Arioch the 28th wrote:I found out that I can punch myself in the throat hard enough to cause bruising and not be incapacitated. (Was choking, and panicked when I couldn't breath). But my throat still really fricking hurts even though it was three days ago.

Of course. Not only do the students pay back the loans with interest, they are now eligible for higher pay jobs which means more income in taxes.Doom wrote:Apparently, you click a box saying "I am a degree seeking student", and that's all it takes to qualify for loans.Blasted wrote: How does that work?
Are the loans of an especially low or no interest rate? Can the money be spent on anything besides education?Doom wrote:Apparently, you click a box saying "I am a degree seeking student", and that's all it takes to qualify for loans.Blasted wrote: How does that work?
You can drink things when in a coughing fit? That's pretty awesome.Maj wrote:And here I just drink lemon and honey to get rid of that coughing feeling. Who knew I could put myself in a choke hold instead?

Yes. There's generally some point at which I breathe in so I can cough more. That's when I sneak in a small sip, which usually calms things enough to drink more.Koumei wrote:You can drink things when in a coughing fit? That's pretty awesome.
The thing about student loans is that you don't need established credit to get them, the interest rates are generally under 10%, you can defer payment until you graduate (longer given certain circumstances), and they money can be sometimes used on things tangential to education: room, board, books, other living expenses. When Ess got his student loans, they covered classes, books, and cost of living $2000 beyond the cost of school per quarter. I don't know if things are still that way, though.Blasted wrote:Are the loans of an especially low or no interest rate? Can the money be spent on anything besides education?

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
THere's a kinda okay anime about the knight. I watched like two episodes and I wasn't very impressed.Maj wrote:Today I learned about a transgendered (?) spy who worked under King Louis XV, Chevalier d'Eon.
I think that's pretty damned cool.

Anime is usually disappointing but if you read a synopsis on, say, Wikipedia it does seem more interesting.Maj wrote:I actually learned about le Chevalier because I was reading about the anime. But the anime doesn't sound nearly as cool as the real story.
