Have to be pianos. If you use a safe they just open the door and walk out.

Weirdly, this post made me realize that not a single one of my siblings or cousins has reproduced, and that’s 7 on one side and 12 or so on the other, plus 3 for myself and siblings. And we are mostly mid 30s to early 50s.

Usually both, in my experience.

You’ll have fans for plants that firm up stems and stuff, in addition to helping with transpiration.

Then you’ll have fans or passive vents near the highest point that move air outside, usually for the sake of venting excess heat and humidity. If you live somewhere cold, these probably stay closed through colder times and are active/open only during the height of summer (these are often the passive vents). If you live somewhere warm, it’ll probably always be active fan-driven, and usually running.

A lot of people have their ventilation system hooked to climate control sensors, so it only engages when it crosses a certain threshold.

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?

I use “my mother” for the same effect, but she died when I was in my early 20s.

I sometimes wonder if we could have made things work, or if I could have figured out stuff for both of us (we know I had adhd from my dad, but I’m pretty sure the autism came from her, and that was a post-death discovery)

But then I remember how hard she was to live with and that I probably wouldn’t have grown the way I did… so maybe I wouldn’t even know I’m autistic at ~40…? Idk, I wouldn’t be who I am today if she was still around though, that’s a certainty.

She never wanted kids. When I was 16 she told me all about how my sister was the product of marital rape and I was the planned companion for the rape baby she didn’t want… cool… my life in context.

Well my sister fucking hates me and always has (because she was the golden child, first born to a woman in her 30s, hallelujah!), so that worked super well. We haven’t spoken in almost 20 years now, my sister and I. Born 11 months apart. Wish she’d just had an only child, tbh.

I got one good thing from her though: perspective. She clearly didn’t want kids and I know how that turned out when she had them, and I also don’t want kids, so whenever anyone pushed back on my choice to get my tubes tied in my mid 20s, I was like nope. “What if I regret not having them? Fine I regret lots of things I’ve chosen to do or not do, but what if I’m like my mom and regret having them? There’s no solution to that… And I know how it turns out…”

I love those but my partner feels the same way you do, with the added perk that they hate the way the candies smell when I’m having one lol

You are a good person, thank you for being pro-social!

Honestly that caught me too.

I’d have to guess his family suspected/knew he was a piece of shit and wanted proof. Maybe he was also abusive? I don’t imagine someone like that would be like… super kind otherwise, you know?

Close all your windows, and the blinds, watch Christmas movies with ice cream and cookies.

Always helps for me, lets me convince myself it’s winter and cozy

I don’t have air conditioning, other than window units that I try not to use to cool the place, but I do use them for dehumidification a lot when it’s hot out, and that helps an absolute ton.

Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.

I don’t have a counter for you. I’m not sure I’ve ever come across your stuff before. At least not on this account. One of the others may have found you.

I mean I do now from this post, but before that.

Did it need to be the right moment, though? I remember going through that canyon temple with the guardians and just standing and waiting for the attack with my shield up, and needing to reposition to get it to hit them back… but that memory might be incorrect…

The self checkout at the grocery here makes you have a worker check and enter your coupons for you. Even though they have barcodes. And cameras galore. And they mail you dozens of coupons every week.

What’s even the point of self checkout at that point? It took longer waiting for them to come check and approve my three coupons to save $1.50 than just going through regular cashier line, and I didn’t even get to avoid talking to someone. Did that twice and won’t do it again.

If they want me to work for them, I’m gunna need an employee discount. I hate everything about self-checkout. I have yet to find an implementation of it that is better than the default cashier experience.

(This is not meant as saying you are wrong for your preference ofc, I just don’t understand how people actually like them)

Lactose intolerance is rough.

I don’t see how that refutes what I said about why people don’t want to pay for it…?

lol ok, sure.

In what way? Give examples plz.

Nobody wants to pay for all the little individual piecemeal services and shit, because it’s wildly expensive and inconvenient, and because they keep adding ads to the paid stuff anyway because greed, so what benefit is there to paying?

Idk if it’s still a thing or how widespread it is, but they sell/sold live fish and small reptiles/amphibians as keychains… basically a small soft plastic pouch filled with oxygenated water so they can get crushed or suffocate in a week (turtles can probably survive a bit longer but… regardless it’s gross). First article I found was from 2015, this one is from 2023…

I have a local burger joint at which I can still get a $2 cheeseburger. It’s plain and everything is an up charge but that’s fine. A whopper or Big Mac clone is some $4.50, so like, it’s still pretty cheap.

However, they have no seating, and it’s an old ice cream shop so just a big kitchen and a tiny indoor order/pickup window and 2 benches. And there’s always a massively long line. Takes easily an hour to get fast food there during peak, cuz nobody goes to the local depressed millennial McDonald’s (one of those sad gray ones)

Meh, I use the same super-weak password for tons of sites I don’t give a flying fuck about.

I took all the military opsec and infosec courses, because I was in intel, and my partner is currently an IT security professional, but some accounts just don’t warrant giving a damn.

I don’t use it for anything important, I let my password manager handle those, but bullshit “create an account to checkout” stuff that I use another payment system for? Meh.

This doesn’t seem like news, beyond looking for something to report on.
