Gimme that sodium packet 🤤

Dump a cup of white vinegar into the wash, let them soak. Mildew will be gone. Add an extra rinse if it smells of vinegar.

‘Cute’ is just a positive word saying the outfit’s nice. ‘Sexy’ is the pregnancy of the fashion world. Don’t tell someone they look sexy unless you’re really sure and maybe not even then. Not all women who are sexy are trying to look sexy, and ‘sexy’ means different things to different people.

Spatchcock that turkey and it’ll bake no problem

It’s been a while since I saw it, but I remember most people thought something was wrong with the experiment setup or equipment.

Never heard of a banana in a pb&j. Make it pb and nutella w/ banana and I’d be all over that.

I didn’t like coleslaw until I ate it as a condiment. Alone it’s not my thing at all. In a sandwich? On top of pulled pork? Awesome stuff.

Don’t tell him he’s annoying. Call him out when something’s not appropriate for the workplace (like the fart jokes) but don’t make it about his personality.

Consult HR on how to go about the quirks that aren’t inappropriate but still very annoying. They can give you the language toolbox you need.

Too much butter and maybe an earthquake.

Yeah it’s never worth it. I have ultra religious family too and the mental gymnastics they do to defend their prejudice is baffling. I have so many shower arguments that will never see the light of day.

To be honest, “The great thing about being Jewish is I don’t have to hate my daughter for being herself” would be so much fun to say. I know it wouldn’t end there though.

Thank you. The extra article about the 116 and 105 year olds crediting bacon made me laugh. No men and lots of bacon, got it.

Been struggling with insomnia from anxiety. Unemployed and have an interview today, woke up at 3am. Frustrating because I’ve been taking measures to reduce anxiety in general and specifically before bed, but oh well. Just gotta keep building up the habits that help.

Is your condition stable, slowly worsening, or critical?

Before you do anything, talk to your doctor. They might be able to recommend a specialist in-state or closer than NY. They may even be able to work with a doctor in another hospital. If you want to go to NY, talk to the hospital directly (not through your cousin) and buy the ticket as close as possible. Unless your condition is severe and worsening, they may not be able to take you in immediately. Look at the hospital online and see if they have telemedicine services. You might be able to make an appointment through that.

Lastly, for the incoming medical bills my advice is this:

• See if you qualify for financial aid through the hospital.
• Get an itemized bill and ask if there’s anything that can be reduced.
• Get the lowest payment plan that you can. Never miss a payment. After some time you might be able to pay it off a reduced bill or it may even be forgiven.

Edit: Also, NTA as many people have said. Best of luck, friend.

Hey if I’m going to be gaslit I might as well make it work in my favor sometimes too.

Costco is incredible but unless you have a family how do you eat 24 eggs before they go bad?

Wish I knew so I could find a job there.

Real answer: it’s cheaper to wait and hire senior levels (or outsource because you can’t find qualified candidates) than to hire someone who needs training then may leave after you’ve trained them.

A lot of companies aren’t prepared for junior or even mid level devs. I’m job hunting and the amount of senior and staff level positions out there compared to jr/mid is sobering. If you think it’s salvageable, make a learning plan and share it with your boss. But it might be best to start leetcoding now. Best of luck, friend.

Don’t have any weird recommendations, but if you can manage a day trip to Nara from Osaka, it’s pretty great.

One technique to become lucid in dreams is to look at your hands. Hands usually look a bit off - think AI hands. Then you can do whatever you want. In theory if you make it a habit to look at your hands during the day, you’ll do it while dreaming too.
