YSK Smoking isn't just bad for your lungs, it's bad for your aorta

Why YSK: Smoking makes arteries less stretchy and therefore more prone to breaking. Your aorta is an artery that supplies the whole body with blood. If it ruptures, even if you're actively in the operating room to get it fixed, your chances of survival drop to almost 0 immediately. Any type of surgery becomes higher risk because smoking makes tissue very friable (fragile, thin, tearable). That means more bleeding and risk of complications

World cup player spotting

I'm genuinely curious, are the world cup players enjoying our city? Are they going to tourist sites? Out to eat? Coffee shops? Museums? Do they even have time to do things or do they have to sit around and wait for their games?

Just curious on insight on their experience, thinking about how Olympians eat a bunch of mcdonalds and have a lot of sex

Dehumidifier ants keep dying and getting stuck

This feels such a dumb problem but ants keep crawling into our dehumidifier, dying, and getting stuck. No matter how hard I swish water around, the dead ants don't dislodge. Now they're growing mold bc they're wet dead ants. My only access are these little drainage holes. The manual says not to try to take the white plastic "top" part off

Bought a house, owner had installed this shower drain

I realize that the grout is cracking and we could really use a whole new shower floor but how do I clean this in the meantime?
