Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Its half-life is too short.
While the next biggest carbon isotope, Carbon-21, has a half-life of under 30 nanoseconds - or billionths of a second - Carbon-22 has the relatively long-lived half-life of roughly 6 milliseconds. That might not sound like a lot of time, but it still means Carbon-22 holds together for about a million times the average half-life of Carbon-21.

Unknown NSFW-ness, doesn't look it would be a problem. It's not a guide to vice in North Korea. I believe you just increment the numbers to watch.

State is having to import salt via the port. It's also gotten darker recently. I was shocked how bright it was earlier.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've accidentally run the dishwasher without soap and everything seemed just about as clean.
I have just made the decision to switch back from the green dishwasher detergent because it was requiring too much pre- and post-washing. I can't imagine what it would be like with no detergent at all.
Lisah, I'm vibing for the best outcome possible for Bob.

I just shoveled another foot of snow off the sidewalk while the baby slept. And a nook for the dog to do what she's got to do.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Consumer Reports had a blurb recently about how you don't need to pre-rinse with dishwashers. Ha! I think both that and failing to use dish soap only works for newer dishwashers.
