I worked in a grocery store deli that made sandwiches, and we'd precut meat "kits" for the popular sandwiches to save time during the lunch rush (like Cuban, Italian, etc). We'd slice them for whole sub sandwiches, and then if someone ordered a half sub, we'd just cut the kits in half and put the other half back in the drawer.

One day, a girl I'll call "Becky" was working the sandwich counter, and someone ordered a whole Italian sub. There were no whole Italian kits in the drawer, but there were two presliced halves.

It took like three people to explain to Becky how to solve this problem, and even then I'm not sure she ever fully understood.

I live in the general vicinity of Waverly Hills Sanatarium, if that counts. Also one of my friends said she saw a ghost in this old apartment building I used to live in.

Every time I hear about people using chatGPT as a therapist, I want to scream

Honestly, if you're mostly using Steam for gaming, pretty much any major distro will work. Linux Mint is my personal choice for newbies but if something else strikes your fancy, go for it. I second the recommendation for checking on ProtonDB to see if your games are supported. I would also recommend ProtonUp-Qt as a program once you've installed Linux; it's really good for managing different Proton installs on Steam quickly and easily. Also also, I have personally had better luck with the Flatpak version of Steam, rather than the native distro versions, because it has less weird dependency issues, but YMMV. Good luck!

Same. I've been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.

Apparently he's a Quaker, so maybe that's how the euthanasia stance can pass muster. But Quakerism might also make even less sense with his views on race? I don't know enough about the reality of Quakerism to say.

Quakers have a history of being anti-racist, but views on stuff like abortion and euthansia cam vary a lot. Quakerism is big on both individual conscience but also social justice and activism. It's an interesting denomination.

Fitness Adventure Pro for the Switch. Is it an amazing game? No. But it is a fitness game, which means I can get a workout without any equipment to set up and break down, and without having to leave my house. I've only been using it a few weeks and I can already feel a difference.

The "tastes worse from a press" is entirely dependent on the material of the press you're using. Garlic reacts with stainless steel, hence those stainless steel "soap bars" they make to remove garlic smell from your hands. I got a zinc press for this exact reason.

I was 21 in 2008. The cat in my profile pic, Oscar, was born in April that year, and I adopted her in June. She died of complications from kidney disease last July, at the age of 17. Time moves too fast.

Having suffered with untreated sleep apnea for several years (I have a CPAP now, thank God), I can tell you that you're not gonna be able to do this for four week, let alone four years. Sleep deprivation won't kill you instantly but it will make you feel like you're dying, and also make you want to be dead. Whatever the solution to your problems is, this ain't it.

 

Last night I had a "back in school" dream, only in this one, the McElroy brothers were helping me cheat on a project. Unsurprisingly, Justin was the most helpful. What weird ones have y'all had?
