You go to the doctor for food poisoning? What are they gonna do besides tell you that you have food poisoning and send you home?

The current governor of Vermont is a Republican. Vermont tends to vote for the person rather than the party.

Ugh I wish you hadn’t reminded me of screensavers. I loved that show! Now I feel old and sad haha

Can we take a minute to address portion sizes?

I met that cat last year! Super friendly.

Lots of us used to purchase Linux via floppies or CDs attached to a giant user manual that might hopefully help you get it working. I know we were purchasing the physical media itself, but I think people should remember how in those days you mostly couldn’t just easily download any distro and it would just work.

Credit card usually isn’t so bad. It’s usually pretty easy to dispute charges etc, debit card on the other hand…no way that’s getting saved

How does the math work out on that? I’m not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let’s say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That’s only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn’t seem like much. To be fair I’m also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.

They are saying the return to office mandate will cause the best performers (who are likely more confident in securing another job) to quit first, not that everyone shouldn’t be WFH.

No, sorry if that wasn’t clear. She was telling the story to me and my parents, “he” was the man she’d been on a date with at the same restaurant previously.

I took my current gf and my parents to a nice restaurant last night. She mentioned she’d only been there once before, on a date, and that the only reason they went to that restaurant (very $$$) is because he had a gift card and was going to cover the meal. Orders all kinds of expensive stuff. The bill comes and then supposedly he realizes his gift card, if it actually existed in the first place, was for a different restaurant. She ended up having to pay on her CC because he had no other forms of payment. Obviously didn’t work out for him in the end.

“at that”… If you don’t want to eat around other people that exist then just don’t go to restaurants.

As a person living in Maine, I do love the legal weed but it’s getting pretty annoying when every new business that opens is a dispensary. I have no idea how they all make enough revenue to stay open. Some blocks in Portland literally have 3+ dispensaries.

I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.

I don’t think it’s that far fetched. Pickled watermelon is delicious, melon with prosciutto is delicious. Sweet, salty, and vinegar are an age old combination.
