I wish I would have thought of it first this time 😔

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

Thanks for clearing that up.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

Not to be dramatic, but I’d rather die.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

Yes.

I already ate more sugar than I should have. I’m not going to drink the runoff. I also don’t drink the mostly-salt broth from instant ramen.

My wife and I have done White Castle table service every year since we’ve been together, except for the year they didn’t do it because of covid.

It’s a lot of fun, but I don’t think there will be tables available on this short notice.

In particular, oil and acidic soiling, such as tar or bird droppings, should be cleaned immediately with an alcohol-based solvent. Immediately afterwards, rinsing with clear water or a pH-adjusted soap is recommended. This type of cleaning should be necessary after every longer ride.

Nah.

Funny enough, I love going through the car wash. I like it so much that I have one of those unlimited wash deals at my local soft touch place. I probably get 3 washes a week on average.

But the idea that I’d have to do that is nuts. And the shit about special soap and whatever? No way.

Tough but fair.

I’ve had tons of luck getting new people into ttrpgs through Traveller.

Players don’t need to know anything ahead of time, and character creation is part of the game. It’s the most fun part of the game, in my opinion. It can get absolutely bonkers. Sometimes I roll up characters just for fun using this.

The GM can introduce game mechanics as players roll up and work out their characters. By the time you begin proper gameplay, your players know enough to muddle through a session without a rules info dump making it feel overwhelming.

Lol yeah, that can theoretically happen. I think the second version of the core rulebook made it harder to pull off, though.

I’ve never died in character creation, but I did wind up in a prisoner loop once where I couldn’t manage to get paroled until I was like 90 👴

When I’m really stressed out, I’ll put on repetitive beep boop music and draw floor plans on graph paper.

He liquidated 12 million Amazon shares for approximately $2 billion last week. It’s the capital gains on that sale that OP’s article is referring to.

Unless you meant cash, in which case you’re probably right. I don’t think his brokerage settled the sale with briefcases of $100 bills.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

I hope he’ll be okay. With $2 billion liquidated, his cash on hand is only the average lifetime earnings of 1,176 Americans.

Assuming the average American starts working at age 18 and stops working at 67, that’s just 57,624 years’ worth of American wages.

It’s a shame he’s considering exercising another $6 billion of his stock between now and the end of the year just to get by.

Jokes aside, I would murder a coworker with my bare hands on the third instance of this.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

2% is awfully low, but it would suck to be taunted for something you struggle with and probably already feel some shame about.

I was moved from Great Lakes to Nelnet a couple years ago, and then almost immediately transferred to MOHELA.

It’s astounding how shitty MOHELA is. It’s almost impressive. Literally every single aspect of the experience is godawful. The only way it could be worse is if they actively tried making it worse, and even then I think they’d probably accidentally improve a few things.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

I am loathe to praise any entity benefitting from student loans, but I will say that Great Lakes was competent. The website functioned, they had [mostly] enough customer service people, their customer service people could answer your questions, and they billed you the correct amount at predictable intervals.

It’s a sad bar, but it’s more than MOHELA can manage. Godspeed, friend.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

A story as old as time.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

There are local prefixes I will never answer no matter what. I’m looking at you, 243 and 422.

I love their recipe for no bake cookies, though! Just 12-15 minutes at 375°, and you’re good to go.

hrimfaxi_work, 3 months ago

Preposterous.

hrimfaxi_work, 4 months ago

Here’s why that’s a [evaluative adjective] thing.

hrimfaxi_work, 4 months ago

Relatable.

This Stanley cup thing is pissing me off because I have one of those green trigger coffee mugs that needs a new lid. You can’t get replacement parts for practically any Stanley cup.

I could get a different coffee cup, but why should I change when it’s these TikTok water cup weirdos that suck?

hrimfaxi_work, 4 months ago

I can understand having 2 or 3 to make sure you’re drinking out of something clean without having to disassemble the whole thing every day, but a friend from work showed me how some people have like 20 of these things. Defeats the purpose of a reusable cup when you have a couple dozen.

Like you said, though. These aren’t being used for their initial purpose. They’re decor for lots of folks.

…which honestly wouldn’t upset me so much if this automotive o-ring I’m using on my lid right now didn’t leak and/or they’d keep their hands off the other less twee Stanley stuff. I like my mug.
