It’s all fun and games until they start stealing Kia’s and Hyundai’s.

That’s a pretty impressive feat and I really applaud your efforts to try to break out of that. I feel for those with that diagnosis that this would be pretty difficult to overcome, especially unassisted and without professional help. I do also think that for others without a diagnosis it might be akin to a phobia that’s developed. I myself grew up with A LOT of food hang-ups - went a full decade without being able to eat anything remotely resembling a dairy product. So these things take time and a lot of forward AND backwards steps.

Every shift schedule I had, had rotations like these. The main reason? So day time management could see how everyone was doing.

It’s not just your circadian rhythm being fkd. It’s your regular, overall sleep pattern. Constant interruptions because civilized life goes on during day hours. Need to go to a bank? Have a plumber over to fix a leak? Go to see a doctor, ironically for sleep issues? Gonna lose sleep to make those “sacrifices.”

For those who have never worked shift, it’s like getting up at 3am to go see your kids basketball game, then go to work at 8am.

Does your dad’s first name rhyme with Schmeeelon by chance?

You could go with an alternate: “Dorothy’s Roommate”

Saw that being played around with lately. Cheers.

I was honestly surprised at seeing laws in some of the more liberal states & DC tbh. Weed is legal - but lady nips still a crime.

Yeah 2023 and theres still some for real Scarlet Letter shit going on if women leave the house in taboo mode apparently.

And how we’ll do it is block 3 lanes for 2 years to build 1. Then do it again next year.

Free-the-nipple hopefully.

I know there’s a lot of humor over this campaign but the fact that it is illegal for one gender to do something and not the other gender and the length that media and social go to to censor only female nipples is kind of mindblowing.

Sounds like a simple and easy thing that will eventually pass into absurdity but with the whole “save the children” crackdown going on, I’m not optimistic that this is a freedom women will enjoy in a 100 years.

At the hospital after you crash: dammit I forgot to set up autopay

I’m super fascinated by latte art. You don’t just sketch a design with ingredients- it seems like an ingredients load-balancing thing. I will absolutely pay extra for a pretty coffee - they really do make my day. Hope your dad enjoyed that fun design as much as I would’ve.

On the opposite end it seemed like there was an inflooding of low quality “FB-type” posts. Non-interesting wedding and new baby in /r/pics followed by hundreds of “congrats!” and a sprinkle of “who gives a shit go back to FB” response posts. Predictable dichotomies once reddit got too mainstream.

Sample pricing for BMW self-driving add-on feature:

98% accuracy in obstacle avoidance - $299/mo.
85% accuracy in obstacle avoidance - $199/mo.
75% accuracy in obstacle avoidance (lowest legal limit!) - $99/mo.

disclaimer: BMW cannot guarantee 100% accuracy in accuracy rates

I think I read somewhere that it’s getting warmer in northern areas which supports their preferred habitats, hence the spread.

Interesting armadillo fact - their threat response is to either ball up or jump up in the air about 3-5 ft. Which is unfortunately how they respond to oncoming vehicles.

Were they at least fancy nuggets aka “breaded chicken strips”?

ThredUp, Mercari, and Poshmark are my go-to’s right now. If theres something specific im looking for, sometimes eBay. There’s secondhand sites like DePop and Vinted that offer more specialty vintage items, and then other sites that offer secondhand luxury/designer.

Oh and if you get into thrifting make sure you get a de-piller. They take off all the little clothing nubs and make stuff look new.

Hello fellow e-biker! You and I have similar paths with the e-bikes and low meat diets. Glad to see others who are trying new things to reduce their carbon footprint. I think if enough people try at least one thing, it would effect greater change, so trying my best to do my part too.

I think the key to greater change in ourselves and our communities is through small changes. Thats the way to get me prepared for bigger changes that might be required further on down the road. So I do the following things for myself and to maybe influence others in feasible ways:

1. Low-meat diet - do a vegetarian or pescatarian day every now and then, and reduce overall meat intake (I still love meat but save high meat days for special occasions)

2. Switch up transportation on nice weather days. I have a car, motorcycle, and e-bike. The car is used primarily for trips that are in inclement weather, when I need extra safety (sketchy area, at night, or I’m not feeling well), or need to haul stuff. I use the motorcycle and ebike for everything else. Less/no emissions and puts me in a great mood.

3. Always have camping utensils, thermos, and bags. Reusable bags for tons of situations. Camping utensils replace disposable utensils at eateries. Thermos for my bevs so no need to buy plastic bottled bevs or use plastic cups. I also always take my own food containers with me to restaurants and use those instead of the restaurants for take home leftovers and let me tell you - they really appreciate that.

4. Thrift my outfits. Online and traditional thrift stores. I sell them for cheap on online sites or donate when I get tired of them. About half my wardrobe is thrifted.

5. Be kind to others and myself. I think this is the most important thing. A good feeling goes a long way towards caring about bigger and bigger things. Keeps us all connected.

What do you think would happen if you told him about the mushrooms?

I had a BIL who hated any kind of seafood. Couldn’t be in the same room if we were eating shrimp. I made an Asian beef stew with fish sauce and I watched him tear through that. One of my big life regrets not telling him and then stepping back and watching it unfold.
