My wife, probably the year before last, got a fancy home made from scratch cake for her birthday from her fancy pastry chef friend. Well, she loved the thing so much she’d bring it out for dessert every night, the whole thing, and nibble on small bites until she had enough and put it back in the fridge. Savoring each night and bite. Well, she should have taken a small cut from it each night, leaving the remainder in the fridge, and nibbled on that. Anyway, live and learn. By the end of the week she finished off the cake… and got thoroughly sick over the weekend.

I couldn’t help but laugh a little at the absurdity of the situation, but I felt so bad for her. It was an amazing cake, but yeah. If you’re going to savor something like that, please cut a portion out each night instead of taking it out and putting it back after about 30-45 minutes nightly.

I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say ‘that being said,…’ all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smart… but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.

Bacon sounds sooo cute as a baby!

I re-listened to Critical Role Campaign 1, Vox Machina, this year. It was pretty neat, I had caught up with Campaign 3, Hells’ Bells, and needed to give myself enough time to get behind and binge, so I think I did the entire VM story in… idk, 2-3 months? Maybe 4? Just on commutes and work outs.

I’m caught back up with HB, now, though… but, I’m also turning on Late Night comedians on my commutes, to mix it up a little.

You don’t lie, trying to clear every question mark is what killed it for me back when. I think I stopped on the islands somewhere. And every time I pick it back up, the question marks kill it for me again. 😂

Head to Kroger, end up in a ‘Indian’ grocery store instead, scream at the attendees that they don’t have the real ‘chai’, from Teavana, then tell them to go back to their country.

(Ninja edit: …before heading over to Starbucks to pickup the holiday version of their ‘Chai’ Tea Latte, the one that comes with pumpkin spice added.)

I think Stargate Universe might be something you’re looking for. If you don’t know anything about the movie or shows, they’re space exploration like startrek but with wormhole technology/portals on planets, left by an ancient and gone more advanced race. So, science and military guys going to other planets daily on exploration missions, without suits and ignoring that everything would get you infected or you might portal into a dead world without oxygen.

Anyway, the Stargate Universe show is where they portal into a derelict ancient ship, massive and highly advanced, but it’s running out of all resources, it’s not in their control and is fully automated, and they’re running out of time to find resources to keep the lights, air, and AC on, while also finding food. They’re also separated from earth and pretty much stuck on this ship or new planets that are also separated from earth. (They’re on the other side of the known universe and can’t get back.)

It was canceled early, after season 2, but was still very good within its niche.

In the same vein as your response, I’ve heard people say that they start dreaming in the other language, too, and understanding it. Being a monolinguist myself, I can’t speak with any authority, but my understanding is when you stop thinking about what you say and you’re just saying it, combined with the dreaming in it, is a good identifier.

People who say that they speak whatever random number of languages but it’s only memorized sayings…? Yeah, that’s not* the same thing, you guys.

Edit: I’m married to a Puerto Rican who works in interpretation and translation, just for my credentials here. In one of our last minor tiffs she did mention something about me not learning Spanish and how she felt some kind of way about it… but, hey. Languages are difficult, and there are plenty of relationships where a partner didn’t learn the language and it’s not a big deal. I’m busy and stressed out with work.

It took reading the comment in the image for me to finally see that the shark was jumping out of the water and not stuck in ice.

I’ve been hoping for a remake, but I’ll settle for a remaster for the time being.

You sound like you know what you’re talking about… and I just bought a 24 pack of the below linked item to replace the ones that burn out in my house. Could you point me in the direction of non-dimmable long lasting/better quality lights of the below?

But, competition also spurs growth and innovation. With China going all in on the game, too, we may see more US politically motivated investment to stay ahead in the game vs our global enemies.

Radiate the body before sending it to the crematory. That way you can test radiation levels when you get your urn back.

I asked a guy sitting behind me in training if it was noticeable, because I couldn’t really tell in the mirror since it was so far back. He said yes, so there it went. I decided to take possession of who I was and get rid of it all, no sense in lying about it or covering it up. Before then I personally buzzed it to a quarter inch.

I watched this one in the last two weeks, would recommend for sure. They even go into detail about how public hitman requests aren’t a thing. Like other commenters have said, the ‘industry’ is primarily gangs, mobs, corporate or governmental agencies and all of them have their vetted, go-to guys. Not general public, and if you, as a normie, think you’re talking to one? They’re a cop, %100.

Yours lasted until your 30s?! I was shaving my head by 24!!

I’ve always been a Starbucks chai tea latte guy (don’t shoot me, please), so when I went to Turkey I was super excited to try their chai. The real thing, right?!?! I was surprised to see the locals whip out Lipton. Everywhere it was offered, it was just Lipton. Not spiced or anything special other than they always drank it. Breakfast? Dinner? Tea time in the middle of the day? Sure.
