And get this… they’re the same people on both sides.

To be honest… I don’t think I’ve seen a dried chickpea that wasn’t packaged as a “snack” and it was like $5 for a single serving :(

Yo, chickpeas are crazy expensive where I live

You have had a major loss.

I’m glad you are still with us to share this story. You wrote in such a clear and eloquent way; it’s clear you cared very much about us that you took the time to communicate effectively.

My father is currently in a nursing home (just for normal end of life stuff). He was a deadbeat most of my life and treated his health really poorly.

It’s cruel that he was able to live the way he did and live for so long, while you’ve done nothing to “earn” your maladies; yet, you’re both in a similar situation (except no one wants to go see him, because of him being a PoS for most of his life). You don’t seem like a deadbeat or a PoS, so as far as I’m concerned, you win.

I hope things turn around completely for you and you’re restored back to full health.

I was really hoping this would say “why does Facebook and Instagram provide a web interface when their crappy platforms rarely show content unless you’re using their app”.

At this point it’s purely a performance that they even offer a web interface to their platform.

Same goes for Twitter.

I want a garlic feud with someone…

Apple user here: Shortcuts.

Being able to design lil applettes that take a click or two out of doing a task is a lifesaver.

For instance, going into the clock app and setting a timer is at least a 9-step process (starting from unlocking your device). I made a shortcut to make it a 5-step process.

When I’m trying to hold something in short term memory (especially during a conversation), it’s a struggle

Spent the past weekend hanging string lights in the backyard. Used barrel-style planters filled with cement as a stand for a 4x4, then strung them across the lawn on some light cable. Was a pain in the butt, but the final product looks good and should last a few years.

I had GPT 3.5 break down 6x 45-minute verbatim interviews into bulleted summaries and it did great. I even asked it to anonymize people’s names and it did that too. I did re-read the summaries to make sure no duplicate info or hallucinations existed and it only needed a couple of corrections.

Beats manually summarizing that info myself.

Maybe their prompt sucks?

Came here to say this.

It’s jarring when I stumble into conventional social media and have Joe Rogan and Hawk Tuah Girl on every other video. Money shouldn’t decide which content appears most often.

This is my first encounter with your kind. I never knew I wanted to see more machinists memes

That’s a cool thought.

Same with Julius Caesar, Nebuchadnezzar, Christopher Columbus, Henry VIII, Copernicus, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Ptolemy.

Really anybody famous could have their image embellished back before the widespread ability to read and write. (Some folks listed above may not have lived in a time of illiteracy, but it was hard to think of a list of historical characters lol.)

Been wondering this for YEARS

In dating or marriage: If a female partner criticizes on her male’s choice of outfit, it’s totally normal. If a male criticizes the choice of outfit of his female partner… a fight is imminent.

Why do medical staff work such long shifts?

Thank you for linking to the vid!

Sounds like he was just being an asshole and wanting to end the interview which the reported kept extending with questions. Seems like this is non-news.

Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?

So, I don’t have an answer, but I think the challenge you’ll face is that the oil you apply nearby will want to penetrate the wood and spread to the area that will be glued.

You could try pre-treating the area where the glue will go with another absorbent coat (maybe even mineral spirits would work) and hope that the oil wont have any purchase to hold onto in that area. Once the mineral spirits evaporate, you’ll be able to apply your glue.

That’s the best guess I’ve got. Best of luck!

Looks kinda fun tbh.

Release date seems to be Q2 2025

It is definitely scary. I want to remind you that you were once a decently happy person and that therapy (both individual and couples therapy) is likely one of the few options you have to move back in that direction.

It’s worth it (speaking from experience). That weight on your shoulders is just waiting to come off, but you likely need a bit of help to get things started.
