How do you make this mistake twice? Learn the lesson, my dude.

I only found out about this because I was already traveling and there was one single sign at the airport (and this was the arrival airport, which was already in compliance. Nothing at all from the departure airport, where I lived, that wasn’t compliant). Info on this has been very poorly disseminated.

Sure, not driving like a maniac is common sense and a law and ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse in a situation like that. But for people who aren’t frequent travelers or have never been out of the country, it’s unfair to expect them to know about this byzantine expiration date process. There should be a check…

You can simultaneously be part of the least desired group on a dating app and still get more (and more diverse) dates than you would IRL. They’re not mutually exclusive; it’s more a question of scale.

Seconded. There was a great barista at my local coffee joint and we had fun chats about beauty products and local politics and books. My day job is pretty stressful so it was really rad to have such a pleasant interaction first thing in the morning. She’s either switched shifts or stopped working there and I miss her.

This might have more to do with the age of the battery. Updating to iOS 11 highlighted how terribly my battery was doing, which made sense because it’d gone through about double the number of charges it was intended for. I replaced the battery and it’s been chugging along happily ever since. It’s still a bit slower…

Best wishes for the both of you.

This is on point. She can love the OP to the moon and back but if she doesn’t care enough about herself to sober up, it’s not going to happen. It’s often much easier to love someone else than to love ourselves and that’s part of why addiction is so hard to kick.

Thanks for this! I somehow wound up with two accounts and hadn’t thought about sharing as a way to merge them. Super helpful.

Subjunctive mood is used incorrectly in songs all the time and it drives me batty.

I did. I halfway have an eye on the new Oasis, but in truth my Voyage is just fine. I’m hoping the other models will get a software update giving us access to the additional font sizes so I won’t be as tempted.

I really wish you could teach it to pronounce place names. My kingdom for this and giving me a GPS toggle on the control center.

Wait, so they hired the same actors to play different characters than on their previous show?

Seconded, but with coworkers. I used to cover for parent colleagues pretty often if they needed to leave early, trade tasks, etc. until I asked one of them to cover for me and they balked because my reason wasn’t good enough. That was the end of any special consideration on my end.

Seconded. My vision is too poor to read the small print on most paper books. A Kindle with adjustable font size is the perfect solution. Plus, instantaneous delivery! I grew up a 90 minute round trip away from the closest bookstore, so being able to access a book when I want to is a fantastic thing.

That top photo is clearly channeling a younger Fox Mulder, just starting to get the hang of swirling his trench coat around like the dramatic diva he’ll grow up to be.

Well, remember that people will usually take a pregnancy test and have a pregnancy confirmed before they’ll take steps to access this medication. No one’s going to take an abortion drug without first confirming they’re actually pregnant and need it.

It’s consistently surprising to me how little research is done about women with regard to sex/pregnancy/birth. Thanks for highlighting this!

It’s actually not uncommon. A lot of people’s cycles are irregular by default, so missing a month here or there may be fairly typical. I had a friend who, during a significant period of stress, went nine months without a period. When she hit the nine month mark she started worrying, even though she hadn’t had sex…

Excellent point. I’d love see the Satanic Temple really be a force to reckon with. They’re already doing some pretty great work.
