small h Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Gage & Tollner's Restaurant Week lunch is two courses for $45. https://www.gageandtollner.com/gage-and-tollner-menus/#restaurant-week-2024 Gage & Tollner's non-Restaurant Week lunch is three courses for $41. https://www.gageandtollner.com/gage-and-tollner-menus/#lunch This seems odd.

Sneakeater Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 (edited) The appendix has a function. And that function is to provide a safe house for beneficial gut bacteria when you have diarrhea, so at least some of the bacteria doesn't get flushed out. After your episode is concluded, the bacteria is released back into your gut to propagate and replenish. I somehow was happier not knowing this.

Don't think it's particularly good at this. A friend consumed substantial peanuts at a ballgame and wound up with a burst appendix. Almost died.

small h Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If you go to the Russian Vodka Room with a friend who emigrated a very long time ago from the Soviet Union, and who barely speaks Russian anymore, she will nonetheless be recognized as a native speaker by the staff. Consequently, you will have to conduct business in Russian, despite the fact that you only know about 20 words, and many of them are numbers.
