I don’t even know how you type out “accountability buddy” without shortening it to accountabilibuddy

Yup. I got my kids gmail addresses almost immediately. I have to use [first name].middle-initial.[lastname]@gmail and I will never get over it! I don’t even have a common name!

People GoPro all kinds of stuff, we need an Xtreme Plumbing YouTube channel.

Also, does anyone else feel like 90% of what they pay a plumber for is just to contort themselves uncomfortably in a small cabinet to replace some basic part?

I just re-caulked my shower for the 2nd time and I hate it, mostly because I’m so terrible at it. I think I get nervous about having such a small bead (what if I don’t encapsulate the gap and water gets in!?) so I tape off a pretty wide bead and then I end up scraping/smoothing too much material and it starts to dry…

because even the most zealous party people know that it is deeply inappropriate to try and shame anyone into gathering right now

Came to say the same thing. GPA feels relevant when you’re graduating and looking for jobs, if no more than a signal to your prospective employers of where you stand relative to your peers (whether via natural intelligence, hard work and determination, or knowing how to “play the game”).

I’m guessing there are some mobsters or other assorted criminals that are deeply involved in that specific casino and they siphoned money out as fast as they could.

I was clipping my 5yo’s toe nails. He likes when the clipper doesn’t clip it off all the way so he can pull it off and inspect it (I guess?). So I’m clipping and he excitedly pulls off the toe nail and yells, ‘Yes another one for my collection!’

My 4 year old is currently dressed as the Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, but he’s secretly a Gibbering Mouther, who has changed form so he can spook Mazu and Rocky.

I guess I phrased that wrong. If I lived a very austere life, to the point of being uncomfortable in order to retire super early, the math of FIRE means I have to maintain that austere life for my remaining 50 years in order to keep my portfolio at 25x expenses with a ~4% withdrawal rate. That part is kind of glossed…

Roasted vegetables seem to be the most palatable to people who “don’t like vegetables”. Roasting caramelizes the sugars so things like sweet potatoes, onions, and beets do real well.

**My boss was giving a presentation to a customer a couple weeks ago and his son is making some noise in the background and he doesn’t mute himself, just turns around and yells “[Son’s name], I’m on the phone! Not right now!”

“...I have worked retail where they pound it into your head to try and catch shoplifters...”

And nearly every athlete is confused by the question. Motivation? Why would you need that?

promoting unrealistic long-term consumption habits

If you’re outdoors, exposures are short, and people are nearly always more than six feet away, the mask doesn’t add much protection. If you’ll be encountering many people—for example, on a busy city street—a mask is a helpful safety layer to include.

I will add the garlic first to a stir fry but not even wait to also toss the onions/peppers/etc on top of it. Some recipes will literally have you wait for 2 minutes, at which point it is burned to a crisp.
