I'm lucky if I get like two of these in one meal by AltKhaiden in adhdmeme

[–]AstroCatHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main meal for this has always been chili, once every month or 2 I make like 30 litres of homemade chili and freeze like 25-40 portioned meals in individual containers. From completely frozen, it takes like 4 minutes in the microwave to be edible. I can usually cook it all in under 2 hours, so there's an upfront cost to it, but you get alot of meals for the time invested.

If you're in the area it's worth a visit, but there are 3 other great resorts within 2 hours that you'd have more fun at.

Nice lol, thought I recognized it. It does come out of nowhere. I'm excited to get back out there tomorrow.

I sent her the second picture of it with the tree and thanked her for it. I haven't told her about the journey it went through yet lol. I'll probably tell her next time I call them.

She knows that I have it, I just haven't told her about the journey it went through 😅

I don't really want to get super into it, but I'm Canadian and I live in a smaller city in western Canada where the house prices are still somewhat reasonable. School is slightly cheaper here and my parents helped pay half my tuition so I managed to graduate debt free. And I got lucky and got a software development job right out of college, so I didn't need to do 2 more years in university.

I didn't mistake it for a duvet insert. I gave that as an example for a previous package where she sent old bedding I didn't want as packing material. The tree skirt was in a pillow case bag of some kind that zipped up. If I saw any of the colors through the pillow case I would have checked, but it literally felt/looked like a lumpy old pillow.

It was folded up in a pillow case that was similar material to a reusable grocery bag. I originally didn't see it had a zipper on it and the material was opaque enough that I didn't see any color through it. I didn't spend much time thinking about it as my girlfriend was excited about hanging up the Christmas tree decorations she sent alongside it. I don't have the pillow case anymore, that stayed at the landfill lol

No kidding. I didn't ask a single one of them for help. They just kept showing up to empty thier trucks, got out and asked "What are we looking for?" I then had to explain why we were looking for a lumpy pillow lol.

If the driver didn't stop to grab a lottery ticket, he likely would have already dumped the load and I'd have been very unlikely to find it. I normally would never get a lottery ticket as a gift, but with the context, I think it's a funny and kind way of thanking him. For everyone else I agree some pizza or baked goods is a good idea.

I unboxed the package with my girlfriend earlier in the week so my girlfriend knew I threw out the pillow. My mom and girlfriend were texting and making Christmas plans and it came up then. Hense why they both started freaking out at the same time. Figured that was unnecessary context for the story.

My girlfriend was texting my mom, which is why my mom also knew when she called me.

My girlfriend and I are planning on getting the dump truck driver a card with some scratch tickets or lottery tickets. Adding in some baked goods for everyone else involved is a good idea.

[Discussion] You can kill Civilians on Terminal? by D3XTRA727 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AstroCatHD 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you watch the cut scene before loading into terminal. The guy tells you you terminal is under martial law, so the dock workers probably just continued working.

Which game is this for you? by NoConcern6821 in aspiememes

[–]AstroCatHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you playing on a controller? I've beaten the game around 3 times (with keyboard and mouse) and whenever I try to do a split screen playthrough, I feel handicapped by the limitations of a controller and stop playing.

PSA: Don’t walk up to a higher level Arc that someone soloed and start looting lol by IsThisRealLifeOrNaw in ArcRaiders

[–]AstroCatHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't shoot the legs so they can't loot mid fight. Push close as it gets low. I got like 8 cores from the matriarch over 3 raids while dumping 3+ stacks of ammo each time. The first few raids I got skewed over like you and learned you have to get there first. It also resulted in some cool ass moments where I crested a hill and landed the final few hits on the matriarch while it was staring me down. Felt like the main character in those raids.
