On the contrary, you just bought yourself seven months while the economy is deteriorating and job market is nosediving. Consider yourself lucky, and pray that the top brass can stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It’s a great time to do a masters and Ph.D if you are interested. This has echoes of '08 and 20 when it comes to uncertainty and potential layoffs.

I limit my driving, try to limit my plastic consumption, and try to push our household into energy-saving appliances. We plant native plants, and do a ton of research when voting, and encourage others to vote.

At the end of the day, most stuff is going to be best directed from the top-down, such as switching from methane “natural gas” to renewable baseload power, like advanced nuclear, geothermal, hydro, etc. or preserving democracy so we can make these decisions instead of the red menace currently in charge.

Getting people to vote for democracy and climate policy has an outsized impact over my personal choices and habits, regardless of how good or bad they are.

I’ve really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it’s essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like “dessert” even when it’s just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can’t eat, so it keeps for ages.

Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.

Going the wrong way down a one way bike lane, or blocking the box on a bike lane. Honestly, we have pretty great tourists, these are minor issues.

Newscorp definitely should be broken up. That fucking Australian cunt fucked everyone worldwide.

What’s an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I’m not aware of all the nuances yet.

Nestle, Shell, BP, prager U, PayPal (interac please), Uline, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, that dollar store brand.

All of these have destroyed the environment, destroyed our democracy, or destroyed our small cities and towns.

You can get LED film off Amazon for like, $7. It blocks those annoying LEDs on tech devices, monitors, wall outlets, kitchen appliances, and my nemesis, smoke detectors with stupidly bright LEDs.

Best $7 you’ll spend this year.

Many already do, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one that immediately comes to mind.

Even though Larian did a great job modernizing pieces, D&D 5E is just really crunchy and outdated, imo. Larian’s own Divinity Original Sin 2 had a largely better combat, magic, and armor system, even if it is a slightly older title now.

Physical and magic armor, spell cooldowns (prevents spell spam and constant short and long rests), advanced elemental and cursed surfaces, and diversified healing and combat magic make characters more flexible.

5e’s rest system is good for taking care of (what was) useless food in inventory, moves the story along, and provides good places for more natural relationships. D&Ds lack of flexible healing and spell slots means a lot of annoying enemy encounters, however.

I’m on my second playthrough of both titles right now. BG3’s story is awesome. :)

I don’t think I’ve ever spelled this word correctly even once, haha. I just know it has a K, a U, R, and a random smattering of other letters that I feebly try and type out. Google can usually understand what I was trying to spell :P

I’m in a similar boat for my Corsair iron claw. Next mouse is definitely gonna be full plastic, this rubber compound wears out far too fast, and doesn’t have replaceable parts. Definitely my last Corsair mouse.

All guns should be surrendered and destroyed en masse. They are fun, but society would be happier, healthier, and with far less suicides and DA without them.

I’ve seen too many close calls to consider them safe for society at large.

The last one is merry-go-rounds :)

If it’s before noon, it’s salvageable. If it’s afternoon, probably not. It also depends on how much. If it was a very minor shart (1ml), that’s a bit different than actually shitting your pants, imo.

If it’s the latter, it may be time to see a doctor.

Participated in civics in a very uplifting way. Hopefully it will make the papers tomorrow :)

Congrats! :)

Beef, carrots, beef or chicken stock, three cups of water, spices (Chile peppers or hot sauce, pepper, rosemary).

You can also add additional ingredients like potatoes or celery if you have them.

Heat on low for 8 hours, or high for four. The texture will be better on 8. If you have the time, sear the beef ahead of time so that it has a nice seared look.

The meat should fall off the bone 8+ hours in a slow cooker.

Edit: I misread the question. I thought it was “lowest quality product that you still use” (I was distracted)

Original comment: Harbor freight calipers. Surprisingly still accurate and undamaged through years of abuse. Kind of amazing, and shockingly useful.

Dumb and Dumber for sure.
