ok this is a bit tmi so skip ahead
was about 19 or 20 and had got back to a girl's place and i told her "i don't have a condom" she said "oh that's fine i have an implant" - this is how i found out what an iud was.
thanks catholic school

there are also contraceptive implants -- norplant i think it was called?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 February 2017 21:46 (seven years ago) link
they are not the same as IUDs
yeah, never heard of an IUD referred to as an "implant" but that could be a by-country thing
― mh 😏, Thursday, 23 February 2017 21:55 (seven years ago) link
Yeah Norplant, Depo-Provera, and IUDs are all totally different things. (And condoms are still useful even when one of them is present, unless the only thing you are interested in is pregnancy. FWIW I still used them even after having a vasectomy.)

ha ok: things you were shockingly old when you learned - you can't generically add implants into the same category as IUDs because of what the IU in IUD stands for.
― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 23 February 2017 22:51 (seven years ago) link
i was basically unaware that there was any device that could be implanted in any part of a woman that could be used as a contraceptive
― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 23 February 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link
what did you think the IU stood for? or alternatively, that's not where you put contraceptive implants!

i knew they charged - some are much longer and more detailed than others, have pictures, etc. this always struck me as being connected to how much they cost - have no idea how much.

Man there i was with a Cindy Crawford GIF and quivering nether regions, freaked the fuck out that my dick was trying to make a cocoon, and a week later in health class they were describing the ole "Shebop" and that it was normal and meant we were ready to father a child. And i turned to my friends (both of em) and said OH SHIT I JUST DID THAT LAST WEEK! I'M READY TO FATHER A CHILD! I'M READY TO FATHER A-
and the tubby one punched me in the stomach and i fell to my knees

when they said "B.G." on Snoop and Dre albums for years I thought they meant "Bee Gee", ie, someone out of the 70s, out of touch. realized years later it meant "baby gangsta".

Ross - well, corny romantic stuff
The phrasing and composition makes it all a bit unclear (the wiki quotes disagreement between Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman as to whether the lyrics were ambiguous) but when you read it it's p clear:
And I would do anything for loveI'd run right into hell and backI would do anything for loveI'd never lie to you and that's a factBut I'll never forget the way you feel right now,Oh no, no wayAnd I would do anything for love, but I won't do thatNo, I won't do that
^^in this verse he'd run right into hell + back but he won't lie to you and that's a fact

Just learnt that I can convert MKV files into something hopefully readable on my TV through a memory stick. VLC player can convert and save files. Haven't successfully done it yet but got one underway.Been frustrating with tv not reading a load of stuff I've downloaded.
Now would really like to find out if i have any way of saving recordings made by Horizon box to something I could store on hard drive.

yeah, those are alright, and wet Swiffers are at least barely functional, though a simple sponge mop does a better job and doesn't need a head change after every use. but a dry Swiffer mop is about as useful as rubbing the floor with a sheet of copier paper -- it traps a few odd specks of debris but 90% of it ends up getting pushed to the edge of the floor in ropey clumps that you end up having to vacuum or pick up with your fingers. my grandparents insisted that I use nothing but a Swiffer to clean their new kitchen floor (I think the contractor recommended it) but I rebelled and pulled out the vacuum while they were downstairs loudly watching Family Feud.
