I edit court reporter transcripts for a living and I literally just finished a case about this topic. Guy had $10,000 in cash taken from him by police as potential drug money. Drug dogs did not find anything on the money. Guy has a cash business and said that the money came mostly from his business and the rest was a…

I am one of those that loves snakes. I live in the tropics and I thought I’d have a lot more snakes, but it’s been mostly iguanas. But one night, my dog was lying at my feet while I was on a sofa and she was staring intently under the other so far. Got down to her level and saw that there was a snake coming out of the…

I live in the tropics and the flour here is definitely more moist, whether I keep it in the fridge or not. It doesn’t affect anything as long as you remember to adjust your liquids.

I live in the tropics. Even if bugs don’t get to flour left on the shelf, it goes rancid very quickly. Here, you learn to either not have a pantry and just buy small amounts, which is why you can only find flour in very small bags, or you buy a big fridge!

I just upgraded to a 6, I have the always on display, I use a sleep tracker app, and I still find the battery life on this thing is amazing. I charge it at my desk in the morning and I usually have at least a quarter of the battery left by that point. If I have a day off where I’m not at my desk and I forget to put it…

Ha, I posted basically the same thing. I’m really nearsighted and I don’t know how many coffee shops I’ve been in that I could not make out the menu until I was standing right at the register. It’s a good thing that I’m happy with just a regular boring drip coffee or an espresso.

Dear coffee shops, please have a menu that is readable away from the counter. Some of us are really nearsighted!

I just chop them up and make hashbrowns…

I can’t get over how bad the iPhone cameras are. I am on my third iPhone. My last digital camera, which I stopped using circa 2014, still takes better pictures that are truer to real life colors. My current iPhone XR has too much blue in all the photos. I am not a photographer and I don’t want to learn how to take…

Do I absolutely have to? I am so much happier now that I don’t have to deal with people. I have a big comfortable house where I can get anything I need delivered. I am an expat and most of the people that I used to hang out with returned to their home countries while locals went to their vacation homes, so it’s not…

“but only happy, healthy dogs get the zoomies” I had no idea how much I needed to read that. I adopted a super high anxiety senior 3 1/2 years ago. She was rescued at one year old from the street and lived at a dog refuge for 10 years before I brought her home. So she has never lived in a house with a human before. The…

OK, a real weirdo has shown up in this thread. If my sandwich/burger has tomato on it, I want the mustard on the bread that’s going to touch the tomato because I like the tomato/mustard combo…. For any other veg, I am in full agreement!

Huh. I have an egg allergy, so I am brand new to the mayo game having finally found a local source for vegan mayo. I had no idea that people would put it on just one side. I don’t put butter or mustard on just one side!

I live in Mexico, where I don’t commonly see expensive labour-saving tools used. I just had the floors replaced in two rooms in my house and all the tile was cut with a manual tile cutter, an angle grinder (guard off, eep), and a drill (for curves). The cuts were perfect and precise, the work of craftsmen, really. It…

Having just been through renovation hell, I bought a small handheld wet/dry shop vac. I used the fine brush attachment to get all of the crud out of the tracks of my sliding windows and doors, added soapy water generously and sucked that out with the vac, and the finished with a lint free cloth. I am never going back…

Texture. Taste. The fact that they are fungus squicks me out. They are pretty much the last thing left on my list of things that I absolutely will not eat, not even to be polite. I conquered olives. I found out that chicken eggs are gross because I’m allergic to them, but then discovered I can have duck eggs and eat…

I wish I could love mushrooms. The way they are described here makes them sound amazing, but once they land in my mouth, I feel so betrayed. 

I talk way too much when I get comfortable with someone. I am in very self-aware person and yet I still can’t stop doing it. I was well into my 30s before I realized that maybe that’s just how I’m wired. It has cost me so many relationships over the years. I’ve only ever been surrounded by neurotypical people who have…

And Canada. :)

I have been using Quicksilver for so long that I don’t know how I would ever use a Mac without it. I could not even for sure tell you what’s the command to launch it, either command or control and then the space bar — the muscle memory it’s just that strong. I don’t launch apps any other way, and it also helps me…
