At least it wasn't a toy miniforge. (Ow, though)

[hector13]

I threw a toy train at my brother once.


He chased me down the street.

[itisnotlogical]

Pssh, my brother (almost twice my age) and I would just hit eachother with plastic lightsabers. Then I made a weeaboo katana enthusiast friend in high school, and we'd just hit eachother with pieces of wood practice swords. No matter how many times we promised not to hit the knuckles, it ended up happening every time.

Difference between a toy abacus and a real one is the number of beads and sections.

Real abacus will have two sections per row, with 4 or 5 beads in one, and 1 or 2 in the other.

A roy abacus tends to have a single section with 10 beads.

You might be thinking specifically of the soroban and suanpan, as there are abaci built for actual calculation that are decimal rather than bi-quinary, among them the Russian schoty. Bi-quinary is certainly vastly more common, though.

What about Ralph abacuses though?

a chuckle a minute in the wtf thread

I'm not sure if my workplace is making me magically ill. I'm alright all day, I go to work and sit in the same room like always for 8 hours by my lonesome, but now I'm getting inexplicably hot, dizzy, with a splitting headache, and unquenchable thirst for water for the entirety of my shift. My shift ends and I leave, all the symptoms disappear as quickly as they arrived. I'm totally clueless as to the reason, the air seems fine, and I'm not particularly disgruntled so I'm decently sure it's not psychosomatic. No other possible reasons pop to mind, I'm just confuzzled.

[Yoink]

Could be something you're allergic to in the workplace? I don't have any allergies myself that I know of, so I'm unsure if the symptoms fit. Perhaps you're copping a bunch of radiowaves from something nearby?


I don't have a WTF  of my own right now.

1 thing you could try, especially if you have a CRT computer screen, is setting your screen brightness down.

If you work with a computer a lot, it could be damage to the eyes from the computer screen.

Sounds like your office is stuffy and you need to get more fresh air in. Might well be accentuated by summer rolling around in the states, with the temperatures rising.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

The US is northern hemisphere, Autumn is coming very shortly if it hasn't already so temperatures should be dropping, having the heating on can cause the air to dry out and thus that problem to occur.

Either way getting the air to circulate inside might help, unless its an allergy but that could cause the allergen to blow out instead.

Fall. If you're talking about America, we refer to it as fall.

[TD1]

Also keep hydrated.

[TD1]

I know, I can't wait
