That’s a great point, we’ve been around the block so we’re less receptive to enshittification bullshit

That movie had no business being as good as it was.

I’d suggest using a plastic flosser so it’s not conductive, but this definitely breathed new life into my phone. It turns out battery lasts longer if it’s charging more consistently.

In a similar vein, rain now prompts thoughts of “oh fuck is there a leak anywhere?” Instead of enjoyment, haha…

Sheesh! What’s the difference between co-op vs condo for you?

In college there was a laundromat with a diner that served decent burgers. Was always a treat.

It’s worth pointing out the difference between condos and a co-op - here condos can be over 200k, which can be prohibive, whereas the buy-in for a co-op apartment is like 10k.

Co-ops are truly the way to go for housing.

I played so much nerts in college. I was terrible at it due to the frenetic rate of play, but it was fun. It’s the reason I have like 8 packs of playing cards haha.

I explained here, but that’s why I prefer using the right-hand-rule. Sometimes thinking about clockwise in strange frame of references hurts my little brain.

Oh God I hate those sneaky left-thread bastards lol.

It’s especially helpful when you’re looking at screws (or nuts!) from the back or any other weird frame of reference.

I use the right hand rule - ball up your fist with your thumb sticking out, and turning in the direction of your fingers curling will result in the screw going the rest your thumb points.

Wife and I have both finished the book and absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the recommendation. Here’s to books 2 and 3!

When I’m senile? Ice cream sandwiches. I’d have forgotten I’m lactose intolerant, God be with the poor soul taking care of me.

I’m so glad that you posted this. I had a similar experience. My personal goal is to ask some things only twice, and then suck it up and move on.

The girl I dated in high school broke up with me when college started. A few years later, we were talking again, and we were in the friendship fog. I asked her out again, she said no. That also hurt like hell, but I told myself I’ve asked twice. Time to move on.

I actually recently found a journal entry from that night - “It feels like I am king of the friend zone with her, but holy shit it feels so good to have that cleared up, and now I know I have a solid friend who I don’t have to worry about dating potential”.

After that she was the first female friend who I didn’t constantly have a thought of “…but what if?”, and that was incredible.

Over 10 years later, she’s like a sister to me - she was my best ma’am at my wedding, and I was a bridesman at hers. (my wife likes to poke fun at the imbalance here, but we had a small wedding haha)

Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.

I think there’s something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.

There was a scene that had my jaw dropped for 5 minutes straight

The carabineers would function similar to a keychain, and you can use multiple carabineers to enforce organization.

Sounds like you’d benefit from one of those large keyrings.

They open up at a single point, so in the morning you can see which one you want, move the entire circle of chokers around so that one is next to the opening, open it up, and grab the choker.

Also, no installation to the walls.

I finally organized and filed away the mountain of paperwork on my desk! It took some work but everything has a place again.
