      - shouldn't we not focus on a punitive solution, and figure out what it is in society that drives us to cause oil spills? -- nm - TFox May 27, 09:56 10

sigh, stupid brain, which ster was recently figuring out they had dairy issues? - tRuMaN May 27, 09:25 24
- Not being able to eat dairy might even be worse than not being able to drink alcohol. - Shaun May 27, 09:57 1

    - according to that article, the typical tests may not be accurate. -- nm - loosilu May 27, 09:43 3
      - I've never had a scratch test that I can recall, so I have no idea what I've been missing out on being misdiagnosed with. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 09:47

    - i have a friend who's been struggling with IBS for years. she recently went cold turkey on dairy and wheat, and it's practically changed her life. -- nm - kare May 27, 09:50 3
      - same here. Also, my acid reflux is about 80% improved. -- nm - loosilu May 27, 09:55 2

Yoicks, three negatives make this sentence difficult to understand. "I cannot imagine that there is not one librarian out there who cannot think of a - mara May 27, 09:24 12
- "I'm sure all librarians think every single library could use a fresh start" - kare May 27, 09:28
- "I expect all librarians would want their library to have a fresh start." a fresh start? at what? -- nm - zork May 27, 09:27 1
  - burn all the books full of 'ideas' and 'sex' and replace with bibles -- nm - zeitgeist May 27, 09:48
- I think he means "cannot" because it re-negatives the sentence. If I means "I believe every librarian can think of at least one library..." that is -- nm - Roger More May 27, 09:26 7
  - Leaving out the imagining, his sentence could read "There is not one librarian out there who cannot think of a library..." - mara May 27, 09:30 6
    - (personal interpretation but) I never take "I cannot imagine..." literally. It's almost always rhetoric -- nm - Roger More May 27, 09:34 5
      - I cannot imagine doing that. I can imagine that would lead to you misunderstanding a lot of people. -- nm - mara May 27, 09:36 4
        
        I cannot imagine taking everything literally. -- nm - Roger More May 27, 09:46 2
        
        I don't. I thought you were saying the negation doesn't matter when it's rhetorical. I think it does. -- nm - mara May 27, 09:50 1
        
        Oh no. I meant the negative affects the meaning of the sentence, but it doesn't literally mean "he cannot imagine" -- nm - Roger More May 27, 09:56
        
        (And even when rhetorical, it's still meant as a negator. Like saying "I couldn't care less" -- the negation is important to the meaning even when - mara May 27, 09:45

Why yes Dwight, those are very pointy elbows. - musubi May 27, 08:48 [Image] 8
