what is the best way to unblock your nose? asking for a friend

The finger remains the safest and most efficient unblocker of noses there is, but the problem of where to put the blockage has confused humankind for eons. Here are the best and worst places to stash that mucus:

A Tissue - 2/10 The texture of these when wet and filled with snot is worse than the snot itself.

A Handkerchief - 1/10 Great only if you want to walk around with snot in your pocket or on display to the world.

The Ground or Floor - 3/10 It's out of the way but you run the risk of treading in it, or it transferring to the foot of a loved one.

A Tree - 4/10 Not good for the tree, not too bad though. Just mind that the tree is not poisonous to human contact.

Actor Gene Hackman - 2/10 He does not like when I do this.

A Sleeve or Pant Leg - 3-10 This depends on where the offending nasal production is hidden, or showcased.

Running Water - 7/10 Flickability allowing, if you can get the nose matter into a river or toilet, it's pretty good, but it can be hard to find such a location just when the moment arises.

Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" - 0/10 Do not deface great art.

An Original Ari Bach Drawing - 6/10 No major drawbacks.

Leitz Cine Summilux-C T1.4 12-Lens - 3/10 May affect focal clarity.

A Tesla Cybertruck - 9/10 Rarity and danger of asshole drivers attacking you are the only drawbacks to applying your mucoid expulsions to one of these pathetic and dangerous MAGAmobiles. Bonus points if they rot the unfinished steel from nasal pH.

The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America - ?/10 Nicolas will get back to us on that once he succeeds.

Just some cute clippings from the dino fury comic panels that I found :3

So I’m a little late to the party but I finally listened to the Ithaca saga of Epic, and it was amazing, it made me cry!

But one thing on my brain is the Scylla song, because Scylla says “we are the same you and I”.

I noticed in the Odysseus song that they go “keep your head down he’s aiming for the torches”, which made me think of how Scylla killed the six men who held the torches in the thunder saga.

Little parallel of murder.

Not gonna lie, one of the worst things about mucus that I don't see touched on very often in whump content is the taste. It's such a uniquely gross thing, it tastes sick in a way little else does

Mucus and Movement

Live imaging of human bronchial cells growing in the lab tracks the relationship between the COVID-19 virus SARS-CoV-2 with mucus and ciliary action – wafting by the airway cells' hairy projections. Such muco-ciliary clearance (MCC) in life aims to protect against infection by moving mucus up to the throat for expulsion, keeping the airways open. This study finds that MCC initially facilitates SARS-CoV-2 infection but subsequently inhibits spread

More Tarrick headcanons please! You see my “he’s a pathetic wet cat” vision

So like. I just wrote an entire basically fic about the Tragedy. Because he is Tragic.

But 90% of my thoughts are like this:

He built his wife a healing tank. He achieved more with less than anyone could be expected to. He survived being kidnapped and he was alone...

Except he went into town. And he hung out with a group of day laborers, because he had to make money for food.

They taught him Spanish. They taught him that you don't cry for the dead--your tears weigh them down while they walk to the gates of Heaven. They taught him a thousand random jobs, and it's a great change from medicine, he's a medic but burying the bodies of aliens and humans alike when Area 62 fell, the desperate attempt to put Santura in cryostasis before brain damage set in...

Medicine seems second best to just working with your hands now.

And then he discovered the Sporags.

Tarrick couldn't go back at that point. Miguel and the others, they'd know. So he abandoned them. He abandoned everyone.

Mucus and Slyther didn't count. Mucus was a failed Sporag--she had no aggression, just annoying stupidity. Slyther was just a warrior, anyway.

No point in caring.

And then Santura woke, and everything went wrong. And then he discovered that the death and horror that changed everything--

It wasn't complete. Amelia lived. The janitor lived.

He got someone back.

Tarrick showed up at Amelia's workplace, the day after the dust settled. Santura got shanghaid by the medic about ten minutes after the Rafkonians found them, and she was still being healed (the machine Tarrick built didn't heal enough of the brain damage; Santura was still severely impaired, it was why she was aggressive and had mood swings).

And then suddenly there's Miguel, and the day laborers, helping Pop-Pop with the landscaping, and Miguel looks up and sees Tarrick.

And they know.

And Tarrick suddenly realizes exactly how screwed he is--

Miguel grabs him in a hug. And he tells him, Gracias, Dios, you didn't get killed!

Tarrick realizes someone is laughing at him at this point.

Gringo, didn't we tell you not to do stupid shit? One of the others demands. And what do you do but go play with alien weapons--

Tarrick's not totally sure how he gets through that conversation. He's fully prepared for Earth to hate him. But he's kind of getting the feeling they aren't?

This is your daughter? Miguel asks, gesturing at Amelia. Good! You've got a good girl here! She takes care of her abuelo, she always says nice things to us, she's a good kid.

She saved my life, Tarrick says honestly.

Tarrick could have passed for human before. When Rafkonians go public, though, he ends up one of the faces of it.

Sometimes. Other times he ignores it and goes to work with Miguel again. Because he needs to work with his hands.

He and Santura aren't fighting. They're staying with Pop-Pop and Amelia. And they're doing okay.

Just, you know, not talking much.

Finally Pop-Pop tells Tarrick, you know, you should just go make love to your wife. It's a good deed, you need to try and reconnect.

And then Tarrick learns a week later that Santura is pregnant.

He kind of figures out that SOMEONE has it out for him at this point.

It turns out that healing is a lot like this. People aren't always happy about him, but sometimes they forgive. And sometimes it doesn't seem to matter, all the knots he tied himself into to become Void Knight. And honestly, half the time he suspects someone is laughing.

By the time Mucus and Slyther come back, he's not even surprised. And by the time they defeat Zedd, he doesn't even protest when Santura remarks that hey, Tarrick never introduced Amelia to her younger sister...

Poppy is a blessing. And Tarrick is still not sure how he ended up with his wife, his daughters, a Jewish grandfather, and a Sporag daughter.

But he'll put up with the laughing for it.

How Strong Is Stomach Acid? 😨

If you took your stomach acid poured it into a cup and then dropped one of your teeth inside, the acid would immediately begin breaking them down the tooth's enamel would start to dissolve and depending on the material the cup itself will become to deteriorate. So the stomach acid is this strong, why doesn't it through the walls of your stomach, well its because they 're coated in a thick layer of mucus. This mucus protects the stomach lining by creating a barrier that shields against the stomach acid. Without the mucus your stomach would literally eat itself.
