+1 for RockAuto. I have an older non-domestic car, and they’ve had everything I have needed for it

The only good thing about that is Vance has less charisma than the couches he loves, so I don’t think he’d be able to command a cult as well as Trump

John Deere and a few others recently paid like 20m to build a diesel tech training center for my university that includes several large vehicle bays and a fuel development lab, with the expectation the students would work for their companies after graduation. It’s starting to look like these kids will be opening their own businesses and ending the cycle of ripping off farmers in the community.

As a former mechanic with lots of lovely health issues before even hitting 40, I really hope they do work for themselves so they can get out of the grunt work when they are my age and still earn from their experience

I’m not in retail anymore, and I never did clothing retail, but working in theater costuming has really changed my ideas. Like, I know I am fat because at my height and weight my bmi puts me well in obese territory. But measuring people a few inches taller has put an interesting spin in my head. I know someone with the same bust size who is three inches taller and now I understand why some “large” sizes will fit both of us even though by size my cup is several sizes larger than her.

People have been telling me for years that I’m “not fat”. I know they are delusional because of the numbers, but seeing other people with similar measurements does actually put it into perspective.

Sometimes being my flavor of neuro divergent really sucks lmao. I do not have a favorite food. I don’t even really have a favorite flavor. I don’t even like to drink coffee multiple days a week, which is why I have a cabinet with 30 odd types of teas and tisanes.

I don’t even have a favorite texture or flavor profile of food. I definitely prefer bitter and spicy to sweet, but that’s about it. And I find the act of eating comforting in itself, but I have nothing I can point to as a comfort food.

Every animal I’ve had has reacted to my playing of a flute or ocarina. They ignore my piano and guitar tho lol

I think you can try both at the same time actually.

You got an awesome taste from your friends on what clothing design can be. Do you have a theater in your school, or a local professional one? You can try costume design for more of the “this is what it’s like as work” idea. I’m not going to lie, you might even find work as a sculptor in theater, but your background in sculpting will definitely feed your experience as a costume designer or even just in costume construction. So you could spend two years in consume construction as a hobby and decide that’s what you really do, then move into a master program with fashion design.

It’s stupid if you edit the amount.

Edit: this used to be 5+. So view the other amounts OP edited with this thought in mind

I’m assuming it’s because most people do not keep their cats indoors here. This is a very agricultural area. So quite a lot of cats are shop/barn cats. The cat I adopted in this state is actually tattooed, but I adopted him from a shelter a little over 200 miles away and things start becoming much more urban the further in that direction you go from my “city”.

The cheaper (or often free) cat sterilization clinics near me clip ears instead of tattoo even if the animal is owned and indoor only.

I didn’t say it was safe! Just safer than minoxidil :) The oil is usually meant to be used as a pre-wash treatment, so it’s not going to sit on your head all day like minoxidil, further reducing the risk of contact with pets.

It’s also much safer to use around cats than topical minoxidil is!

My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.

My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.

That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.

I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.

I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol

I’m a Navy vet, and the only anime I can remember watching was Inuyasha. I’m probably an outlier though, because the only thing I actually like to watch is Star Trek

Edit: I was aviation, so not your typical sailor

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I’ve been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I’m feeling fancy

I just realized I haven’t listened to Linkin Park in at least a decade. Thanks for reminding me about them
