I love chips and salsa - issue being that I’ll house a party sized bag of tortilla chips and a big ol container of salsa in like 2-3 sittings, which I guess is fine… But it feels like that many corn chips ain’t healthy. Main concern is my salt intake.

My dad died while I was in grad school (pancreatic cancer). He was the sole breadwinner for our household - it was a real wakeup call, but I also realize in hindsight that he probably negatively impacted my personal growth. I thought, while he was around, that supporting the family business would be a viable career path, but it was mismanaged and I disagreed with decisions he would make. Instead I have had a successful career in consulting and with large corporations. There was an interim period where I did manage the business, but ended up shuttering it/liquidating. It also resulted in my siblings getting full rides to compete their undergrad. I think in our case, experiencing the bottom fall out motivated us to not miss our shot.

I do miss him, but I can’t help but think it was for the better.

“over the” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 /s

This is funny, I asked my wife this morning “have you ever thought of tasting the cat’s canned wet food?”

We’ve never done a taste test, sad to say.

My brother works at a restaurant where the head chef mentioned that he has tried sea turtle soup. The chef said that it’s a good thing that sea turtle is illegal to consume because the soup and texture of the meat was so perfect that sea turtles would be guaranteed to go extinct otherwise.

Every day. My boys get 1/3 cup of dry food and a can of wet food. They’re both ~11 lbs, trim and healthy. Cats shouldn’t be on a pure dry food diet if possible.

I’m GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.

OC as in stolen from Reddit. Pretty sad.

The perfect summer treat

I can snap the tendon over my knuckles kinda hard to where it makes a popping/snapping sound. If I do it close to someone’s cheek, it stings like releasing a tiny rubber band.

I can also move my ears independent of one another.

You want to know why I love dat boi? Dat boi is a completely self-made meme. So many other memes are based in nostalgic childrens shows, funny faces, relatable situations, or references. Not dat boi. Dat boi is completely absurd. It’s a low-res frog on a unicycle, and an arbitrary method for greeting him. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so out of recognition. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so because a pre-existing meme format. The first person to ever upvote dat boi upvoted a meme literally pulled from the ether by sheer human creativity and willpower. Dat boi is evidence that humans can stare into the meaningless void of eternity and force their own meaning onto to it. I will always upvote dat boi, o shit waddup!

Seppuku

But for real idk. My wife is an obgyn and I’m Hispanic soooo I feel like we might be in danger.

4 star day

Feeling good about where I’m headed, not enjoying the growing pains

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not off base. My family is Hispanic and my mom would love it if I lived with her till I’m 40.

Just got home from work travel tonight. My wife and I had a nice dinner (she cooked and had everything ready for when I got home from the airport) - I need to stop by the store tomorrow to get her some flowers and chocolates at a post v-day discount 🫠😉

Also planning on taking her out to dinner on Friday.

Weirdly hostile, but ok. It’s like any other tool that can be used to accelerate a process. Hopefully at some point it’s useful enough to streamline the minutia of boring tasks that a competent intern could do. Not sure who is specifically targeting welders??

If it frees up your time to focus on more challenging stuff or stuff you enjoy, isn’t that a good thing? Folks are dynamic and will adjust, as we always have.

Don’t think there’s a good excuse to come at someone with animosity over this topic.

I wouldn’t say it’s “great” since it’s so sugary, but they had soda at an ultra marathon I did last Saturday. It was a great pick me up to drink a cup of coke. Supplimented the soda with other food, but it helped recover some calories quickly and has caffeine. I really try to stay away from the stuff otherwise.

Good song, great video
