Was myself ;)

I tried that, but my holes are too small and the rags fall out :(

Not a euphemism.

I save tshirts and cut them into rectangles for this. Or old rags, but tshirt fabric stuffs into the holes better.

My thermostat is set to 60F at night, and i sleep in a tank and bike shorts. I also have 2 fleece blankets and a quilt, because heavy covers are heaven.

Obviously this is a matter of personal preference. The new manfriend keeps his house at 68F and i have a terrible time sleeping there because i roast all night long.…

Knowing how to cook, and being willing to let someone else prepare stuffed grape leaves, is sometimes worth the money.

Other than stuffed grape leaves and the rest of the olive bar, however, i concur that whatever you make at home will probably turn out better.

Hard to fit? I take BDUs in either 40x30, or XL short, depending on the brand.

Were there no tape measures in the 70s? I know full well they made trousers back then.

Lordy. My head is exploding.

>_>

If only you knew someone in Schenectady County, basically right next door.

If only....

In middle school i remember having something like 4 minutes between classes. Maybe it was 6. Regardless, i never once made it from class to bathroom and back to class without being tardy. I bled through my clothes once a month for 2 solid years in 7th and 8th grade.

Ah, good times :|

Not all humans have a good enough relationship with their parent for such an arrangement.

Wait, by bricks, you don’t mean the laptop charger brick? But in fact the tiny 2cm adaptor that comes with an iphone?

Damn, i thought this was a way to recycle my useless apple BRICKS after the magsafe end frayed and became useless. The apple branded usb/wall adaptors are like gold at my workplace, but the laptop…

I too have replaced solid breakfast with a protein shake, like many other commenters. I love it because i use a vanilla flavored soy protein base, since the chocolate ones gross me out. I also add benefiber and coffee, and it’s honestly one of 2 breakfasts for under 300 ish calories that keeps me full until lunchtime.…

“But microbullshit is created from particles that make waves. Waves become tsunamis when left uninterrupted, encouraged by other small and favorable forces. The only way I can see to counter microbullshit is with microfeminism. I am not organizing a march or starting a magazine or creating a political campaign. I just…

I have found using a french press takes the same amount of time as a drip. There is still a 10 minute wait for the brewing to happen, it’s just with a press you set a timer and walk away before depressing the plunger and then drinking. With a drip, you’re still doing other chores waiting for the beep. Plus you don’t…

This is why my rolling to-do list at work is never erased, only modified to strikeout font. Every time i look at it i’m reminded that i actually accomplished something, once ;)

The last time i held a guy’s hand as he bled in the street (i used to bike commute in Boston, so i’ve done it a few times now) at least i had a crowd of 15 or so people around me. Heck, i had to physically restrain a guy who kept trying to shake the unconscious guy awake.

Damn. It only just now occurred to me that…

Not only that, but when people bash science and scientists, they are basically calling me and all of my highly dedicated coworkers liars, cheats, and frauds. We all believe DEEPLY in our work. No one i’ve ever met would ever fake data or otherwise actively or passively work to defraud anyone regarding the safety or…

Ah, see, i have 3 siblings and he had 2. Maybe that changes one’s opinion of “shared” in a subtle way that only offspring don’t grok?

Regardless, it was one example of how money can be handled that differs from yours, with a few reasons as to why we set up that system and why it worked, or not, for us.

Under no…

I concur with Thorin’s assessment. I made about 60 % of what my last ex that i shared money with made. We paid all bills out of the joint account and spent our own money on non-shared items. The difficulty would come when he would use the joint credit card to buy shared items without consulting me and then i’d owe…

The power of the subconscious mind is amazing. I can’t count the number of times i would study for exams in my sleep. The most memorable being the time i dreamed i’d forgotten to review Baldwin’s rules, and when i woke up i did so. Turns out they were totally on the exam.

Power naps and full night’s sleep are other…
