Thank you for explaining this. Been working out more regularly this year; I’m not too knowledgeable and I’d heard about the “suck in your belly button” axiom but not about bracing, however I was noticing that doing that felt better for certain exercises especially lifting. This article seems to confirm my gut, so to…

My cheapskate boss wanted the IT person to be be scheduled part time hours yet be on-call for 24/7. There was a ton of work the poor IT person couldn’t get through so the boss “ingeniously” decided they needed a supervisor. So the boss dangled my regular annual raise with the condition that I oversee the IT…

I’m more of an album man and don’t really listen to individual songs

The sodium tripolyphosphate situation can be somewhat dealt with by patting down the thawed shrimp with paper towels then leaving them out to dry for a bit.

I was running an errand last week and was baffled when I heard someone’s phone exclaim “call from my love”

I lost my job right at the beginning of 2020 and a couple months later the pandemic hit. Wanted to stay on my old insurance but as the article mentioned it was way too expensive, the cost was almost triple what I was paying while employed and I just couldn’t afford it. I’d gotten a decent sized severance so didn’t…

This belongs on a blanket. Just beautiful.

You know what’s a good lesson in being a responsible business owner? Doing due diligence and looking into ordinances and regulations setup in the community you want to operate in, and going through due process if you need licenses and variance. Its absolute chickenshit to frame this situation as “mean ol’ gov’ment is…

Time for my favorite Vaseline joke! I think I heard this on Carson when I was a child, it was originally more longwinded so I’ll try to give the truncated version:

The thing with thighs (which I agree are tastier) in sandwiches is I don’t want to deal with skin and knobs of grizzle or fat in my sandwich. I just want a clean uniform piece of meat for my sandwich. But its all good, its only chicken, and everyone can eat however they like.

And this is how you know when an apology is made in bad faith.

Boneless breast filet is great for sandwiches but I never feel like I’m really eating chicken unless its thigh or leg.

Just because you can put out a house fire with a large explosion doesn’t mean its the best way to do it.

I am completely in favor of this article. Words mean things, and in specific contexts mean more things.

I’ll say that its a HARD troll. I like McD’s and other fast food french fries fine but they taste like hot potato chips, and I like the fries at In n Out because they taste like ACTUAL potato.

Anyone’s thoughts on Paintshop vs Afinity? I’ve been using Paintshop Pro this past year and its fine so far but I still miss Photoshop. I’m a decent artist but not really familiar with intricacies of what makes good software, if anyone can advise if I’m missing out on anything by using Paintshop?

I’ve heard about those kind of things happening. Scary stuff.

I rewatched all the Police Academy movies a couple weeks ago. Though they have their moments, calling the ‘80s “magical” is the kindest way to put it.

I’m a kid from the ‘80s and I never really liked this movie until I saw it later in my 30's.

I’m going to pretend this is a pun minimizing patients’ rights.
