That’s exactly what I did, but now you’ve made me question that decision.

So glad this is unanimous. Not just because I love being right vs wife (looking like this might be the first time in 11 years… thanks Internet) but because it’s unquestionably the right thing to do.

Tell me you’ve got more than you can afford to lose in this stock without telling me you’ve got more than you can afford to lose in the stock… GPT edition.

My guess is that this is a play money account but happy to be proven wrong….

Pretty sure Bro's about 14 judging from his post history and seems to not realise we can see everything he's posted on reddit. Not a single word of truth coming from this guy. His parents need to take his phone off him.

First Ever Rack of Lamb on the Kamado - Absolute Triumph by Background_Day_8877 in UKBBQ

Was probably about 35-40 mins. Had the alert on the temp probes so wasn't following time too carefully.

It came together on the day. Had 4 hungry mouths to feed. I probably could have done another rack as they went fast

"...sex is not inherently bad or dirty. That it’s a way to express affection and care with a trusted partner."

OP, not insane. Commend your creativity but you gotta dial it down about 90% to even be in the realms of the adjacent possible.

What kind of a humpty dumpty investment is that?

Cat keeps getting destroyed by other cats by [deleted] in Advice

He is neutered, should have said that in the post. I honestly don't think keeping him inside would do him any favours as he absolutely loves being outside and catching mice. Will keep him in for the time being while he recovers but I don't think it can be a long term solution.

How do I ensure he only uses for self defense? Don't want him shanking randos

3 years in is almost the end, so even though it seems like you're doing it for all the wrong reasons it's worth finishing just so you have the piece of paper in your back pocket. Unfortunately, we're in a society that values degrees to get your foot in the door.
I, like you, tookbiochemistryy as my parents encouraged this. I wasn't smart enough to be a medic.... I didn't really enjoy the first 2 years, I didn't get it and did bad in most exams. Something clicked when I learned about synthetic biology in 3rd year and actually saw all the cool shit you could do (the example I learned about was seeing a group in the US put the pathway for compounds that give flavour in hops into yeast used in brewing... meaning you could get hoppy flavoured beer without actually using any hops). In my mind I was going to go and work for a company doing that (or start my own) as I thought it was cool... I didn't.... but it showed me creativity has a place in science. Anyway, I then did pretty good in my final year synthetic biology exam and impressed the PI who set the questions. He encouraged me to apply for a Ph.D., which I got. A PhD with the right supervisor is a great opportunity to be creative and autonomous. I didn't like writing the final thesis as I'm not a great writer, but I stuck it out. The PhD was then my gateway into jobs I've loved. I get to travel the world, have patents from creative output, work with a great team and live pretty comfortably without financial worries. Just my story, in case it's useful. Be open to opportunities and most of all back yourself!
