I’m disappointed that the garage sawed in half wasn’t the headline. What a hero of pettiness.

Two things from my last apartment which was... large and nice in some respects (he didn’t raise the rent the whole 7 years we lived there), but had ongoing mouse problems basically the whole time I lived there and the landlord only responded sporadically:

It’s what they gave me, although apparently it’s a different dose for pre- and post- exposure. 

That makes so much more sense! It makes sense that the prophylactic dose is lower than the post-exposure dose, and it makes a lot more sense to me that sex educators and doctors are recommending it widely. I was so confused as to why no one was mentioning how horrible it makes you feel, thank you for the education!

I was on Truvada for post-exposure treatment from a needle-stick, and I want to point out that it can have really bad side effects, like they needed to take my blood half-way through to make sure my internal organs were still functioning and I wasn’t allowed to drink alcohol, take Advil or even take vitamin C without

I bought Hamilton tickets a smidge before they went really insane and got orchestra seats for ~$500 each (not resale basically). I almost decided to go in June, but then I was like, nah, anyone who is going to leave the cast will leave well before or well after this summer, and I can nudge it back to mid-July to make

6/9 IDC “Democrats” lost their primaries tonight. Albany always manage to surprise me with just how dysfunctional and corrupt it is, but tonight I’m celebrating. 

I think it’s a matter of degree. Shopping addiction and retail therapy seem on the same spectrum to me: using buying things to modulate/medicate your emotions. 

Listened to a podcast episode on shopping addiction where they interviewed a professor who claimed that when it comes to internet binge/impulse shopping men actually spend more money than women. They’re less likely to go into a retail store and buy expensive clothes, shoes, jewelry or cosmetics because of the stigma

That happens in my dishwasher when I put too much detergent in, so maybe cut back? My manual says to only fill the dispenser halfway unless I’m doing a long soaking cycle.

I don’t like that it takes 2-4 days for transactions to go through but I love the historical data and the graphs of my net income/net worth/spending over time. The investment graphs are crap for some reason though. 

I think I do budging wrong/backwards (although it works for me). I keep a slush fund in my checking account and on payday I pay my bills/credit card and then I transfer everything that’s left over (after the slush fund, which honestly I rarely dip into) directly into savings. It averages out to enough savings most of

I agree. I check my bank/mint/credit card a lot (probably once or twice a week) just for fun/to double check everything’s good but I always check it on payday so that I can transfer money around (I don’t do autopay). 

This comparison is offensive to selkies.

I just inherited $25k (so less that 6 figures but also a fairly large chunk seeing as I’m a grad student and make $28k/year) and I’ve basically decided to leave it in the high interest savings account that it automatically got placed in for a year because I have no idea what to do with it. I think I might end up using

Doesn’t that happen in many Cervantes short stories? I vaguely recall writing an essay about it in college but not enough to tell you which story it was.

Students who are actually poor already get Pell grants and other aid from the state. I did read some criticism of the bill that wished it would help poor students with living expenses instead of middle class kids with their tuition.

Dude the omelette bar is a fixture of Sunday brunch!
