Things I would die on a hill for, but probably shouldn't: - Beaker is the best Muppet (besides my dog) - You should listen to a new album start-to-finish, in one go, no shuffling - There's no one right way to do something - There's only one right way to assemble LEGO - Paradoxes are underrated

I really want to get into stained glass but the place in Seattle that runs workshops has had a closed waitlist since before COVID. I know how to solder, but I'd love to learn glass cutting technique as I'm so good at injuring myself.

Can your stylohyoid ligaments grow back once removed? Intuition says no, but that same intuition says they shouldn't have turned into bone in the first place. I swear that logic is on a smoke break every time questions about my body come up.
