Subway (fortunately or unfortunately, I’m not sure which) started the amazing trend of “build your own _____”. I mean, it looks like MOD pizza, Sushi Burrito, and Chipotle were built off this idea. (I don’t know if Chipotle actually was or not but it seems like it). It’s a good idea that has gone horribly, horribly…

My 10k unit could go down to 61. This 12k unit can only go to 62. I’d be happy if I could bring it down to like, 58. Why is that too much to ask? :P

Pluto is a planet, dammit!!! :P

My issue is that I have two different SQFT to consider: the bedroom + the rest of the apartment (which is about 400 sqft) and the bedroom alone. When it’s 85+ in the apartment, my 12k unit cools the place from the bedroom quite effectively. But to cool the bedroom alone is asking too little of such a large unit. I…

hopefully, this will turn out like the “working from home” part did. No companies were willing to let their employees work from home unless it HAD to, and the pandemic forced it. Now companies are realizing it’s cheaper to do this, and even the ones that want to force their workers to come back to the office, the…

I had a cat I trained with the clicker/treat. He would always come when I used it. It’s a really good method.

I thought you had to drop a couple droplets of dish soap in the vinegar and *not move the dish after* because it doesn’t break the surface tension of the vinegar if you disrupt the surface again, right? At that point, it’s just sitting on the bottom of your bowl...

I donate plasma and have been doing so for a couple of years with breaks off and on. I can’t keep my protein up no matter how much of it I seem to eat, so I’ll get turned away if I donate 2x a week for more than 6 months in a row, sometimes less. The 3 plasma centers local to me offer different incentives and rates…

done and done. :D

I want to support them all so bad. One of my co workers is an asian american nurse whom I love dearly. I actually work with more than one. I really wish people would stop needing something to blame. 

I’m reminded of a very old Simpsons episode where Bart was taken to France and had to learn French basically in order to survive and get out of a shitty situation. The only way I learned how to get off of hunt-n-peck typing and into semi-touch typing was through forced immersion though a job where I kind of had to in…

depends on how quickly though, doesn’t it? I learned to type though immersion. I took forced “typing classes” in school (90s), but completely brushed them off and didn’t try. My dad tried to force me into taking at home typing classes on CD but I just couldn’t do it. It was frustrating and slow and I got too irritated…

I used to live in an apartment that was “definitely not a house” [eyeroll] and owned by a couple who lived in another city about 30 minutes away way back in 2006. It was my first time living alone but I was used to budgeting through an online bank at this point. I had to mail them a check for my rent, and this was the…

LOL I read that at keep-ass. im 12.

excellent. if you also tell me they have free parking as well that will be an added bonus :D

I just remember when I lived in an old apartment that was heated with a gas heater that had a pilot light that required a spark of electricity in order to start the heater.

I am overly familiar with this scenario. I live roughly 3 hours away from my favorite donut place: Voodoo Donuts in Portland, OR. Close enough to drive, but too far to go too very often. Plus, they constantly have a 15+ minute line no matter when you go, so I will always buy a dozen donuts. I have yet to find an equal…

so like... is anybody curious about what it’s supposed to be if it’s not tuna? What kind of tests did they run that verified it wasn’t tuna but couldn’t specify what it WAS?

I’m a semi-tech nerd, and I equate a “cup” of coffee the same as a MB of data, where a megabyte and a megabit are not the same, and therefore when you buy a HDD or an SSD you actually don’t get the storage you paid for. And ergo my math sucks, and cups of coffee feel like some kind of awful math equation that make no…

Thank goodness this is a prank because I can’t even imagine how many thousands of calories that drink would be. Plus, when I was in my 20's, I thought it was a genius idea to put milk instead of water in my coffee pot. Wow. That was an amazingly poor choice. The horrible smell of sour milk could not be cleaned out,…
