[####] Why JUNKS Instead of BUNKS?

I found an article that suggests playing JUNKS, WHOMP, CALYX, and FRITZ to eliminate (or confirm) 20 of the the 26 letters and wirtually guarantee that you can find the secret word (with some chance of busting), and I immediately found that I could almost always find the word in 5, sometimes 6.

Later that night I started to wonder, though--why JUNKS and not BUNKS, given that B shows up much more often than J?

From Is Highly Rewatchable

I've already watched each episode of the first three series twice, and now that I'm into the fourth series, I've started another rewatch of series 3 and find it just as fresh as ever.

This show is so good that I could probably rewatch every few years, like 'Lost'.

Just saw 'One Spoon of Chocolate', and imagine my surprise when who shows up in an early scene but Jason Isbell!!!

While not as extensive as his role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon', he does sing briefly and then has a pretty good interaction with the film's lead.

I hope Jason does more acting!

For the 29 years that I've been Starbucking, I've been under the impression that I had wisited every single corporate (not licenced) Starbucks in greater Houston, without missing a single one.

However, a friend who used to work downtown recently told me that he had seen TWO Starbucks at Houston Center, not just this one near the Chick-fil-a that I wisited in 2005...

I never had a listing for that one, perhaps because both stores had the same store ID/store number on the website/app, but after doing some research I found a partner who's wife worked at both stores (3rd floor and 4th floor), which confirms that they existed, though not the timeframes.

Also, by doing this search on Google and looking at the photos, you can clearly see two different exteriors. The one near Chick-fil-a did not have any inside or seating, while the other one actually has some tables...

Anybody from Houston and remember these stores and could provide more details, like were they open at the same time?

Did they have the same store ID/number?

The reason this matters is that I track stores that existed but I never wisited and want to add this one to my Houston page.

First, I apologise if this breaks any rule. I went through them twice, and it seemed to fit.

Did anybody else begin to experience fatalistic thoughts when you realised that you were dealing with chronic pain, not acute pain?

To be clear, I'm not actually contemplating ending things. For starters, I am financially responsible for my mother's care, and if I am not around, I don't know who would manage her care, which is in a nursing home, but still requires my attention, and money. Also, I have a lot of things I still want to do in life. Finally, after six months of this, I've only been seeking treatment for two months and have not yet begun pain management. I was first seeing specialists, three in all, who cannot find any acute pathology to account for the pain that started in my upper right arm near the shoulder, gradually expanded to more of the arm, then the neck, and is also combined with powerful anxiety and sleeplessness.

Sometimes it hurts so bad that I just want to end the pain by any means necessary, even though ending things is not an option.

Can anybody else relate?
