Maybe it's worth wearing a mask either way

I seem to remember my mother closing the drain and pouring a little water in the sink when putting her contacts in when I was a kid for that reason

All they really have to do is make the tech collect and report that information, and get everyone to wear it just as much as they do with their phones now. It wouldn't be exactly the same, but with some cultural manipulation they could get it pretty damn close.

That look on their faces when Daniel suggests they could do anything, and Jack and Teal'c realize that he's right

I have a friend that figured this out by accident. He gets them semi/frequently, but when he started taking CBD oil (for the usual reasons), it ended up helping a lot.

The CBD oil that you can get in any state is made from hemp, because it's illegal to make it from cannabis. If you're in a legal state, like mine, you can get hemp-based CBD oil from a regular store, or go to a dispensary and get cannabis-derived stuff. Usually the cannabis-derived stuff is whole-spectrum, with all the cannabinoids and terpenes and such, whereas the hemp-based may be isolated CBD and nothing else.

The other cannabinoids and terpenes often offer additional benefits. Both have them, but cannabis has more. Different strains of cannabis have different ratios of all this stuff; some strains have tons of THC and little-to-no CBD, and vice versa. When I get cannabis CBD, I just get a cannabis extract of a strain with very little THC, make it into an oil, and take a dose that doesn't have any psychoactive effect.

Your doctor can do a blood test. Depending on where you are, it should be pretty easy to get them to do it; just say something like "I've been feeling tired and down since winter (or whenever it started), and was wondering if we could check my vitamin D levels?"

It really is a good idea to go to the doctor first, to get the right dosage. If you're deficient, then you might need more than you think. A lot of people -- myself included -- didn't take enough the first few times and concluded that it wasn't doing anything, but found it life-changing once the right dose was found.

I would kinda put all that under the umbrella of "good organizing," which is also necessary for a boycott or strike to work.

However you want to go about it, you need to have really solid organizing efforts.

When I moved out, I knew how to cook several things, but didn't really appreciate the need for full meals; eating just one food group can mess you up (unless you're a vegetarian/vegan and know what you're doing; that stuff takes real effort to do it right without causing problems). I've known people that tried to just cut meat out, and live on cereal and top ramen, and started getting panic attacks, major fatigue, etc, until they started eating real food again. It's not only about gaining/losing weight or some theoretical future problem; it can screw up your ability to get through the day.

Basically, just make sure that you get all of the basic food groups on a regular basis, even if the veggies are frozen. Rice is easy to make and you can cook a few days' worth at a time. Try to get some whole-grain stuff fairly often; you'll feel better.

This doesn't seem to be the popular way to do it but, when it comes to learning to cook, I got the most from starting with the basics. Just like starting with the different cuts of chicken (breast, thigh, leg quarters, etc) with very basic seasoning teaches you how it cooks and what it should taste like, so when you do a more complex recipe you know how and why it comes out the way it does. Chicken thighs with just salt, pepper, and garlic powder is still one of my favorite things (with crispy skin), and is cheap and easy. You can find leg quarters for around a dollar per pound, if you're broke.

And make sure to get a toilet plunger, and not a sink plunger. A toilet plunger goes out like a bell, but then tapers inward to a smaller opening to fit down the hole in the toilet. A sink plunger is what people are typically used to, with a regular cup shape, and doesn't really get a seal in a toilet.

Some of them can also be toxic to cats (and who knows what else)

Our city allows them in the municipal compost bin.

They'll always send out a flyer on what is and isn't allowed; always make sure to familiarize yourself with it (directed at OP)

Pretty much every 2-parter in Farscape. They always feel like major motion pictures, and I'm not sure I've seen anything that compares since (IMO)

Apparently the pattern holds even planting trees in inner-city neighborhoods:

The book is one page, and says "Trump is best president"

It comes with a few colored Sharpies, and the picture of him has enormous hands
