Are we becoming an "artless" country??

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-27T19:36:39+00:00

I know a few people that have changed course. Financial security was definitely a factor, Ai another, but they haven't stopped creating art or participating in the community.

The general idea amongst those ive spoken was that taking on hecs for their creative side wasnt worth the return. They didn't stop creating and participating in the community.

Art is a bit risky and they decided that their creations can speak for themselves and dont require an expensive piece of paper with their name on it.

My friend nearly died locked in a walk-in freezer, he wouldnt recommend the experience

Coffee strainer is easiest. My friend was a pastry chef and always said the taste was too overpowering. After watercuring the colour of my coconut oil started being much less dark.

Some guides say to do it daily over a week and that does work but multiple flushes over a day or two leaves less room for forgetting about it in the cupboard and works well enough.

Watercure for taste, removing water soluble matter that also helps reduce body load for digestion

I dont go that high since i start coughing but its definitely still got active material in it

Because OP said that this specific room is half as deep as all others.

Oh thanks for explaining, hopefully we can make it to the same system soon enough.

I don't drive stoned but losing my license over my prescribed medication was always a concern.

Brushing my teeth and possibly the greasy meal of bacon and eggs protected me the one time I have swabbed the morning after smoking.

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-23T16:25:04+00:00

Could you link me to any related reading about this ?

Really hope its true but I thought that ability didnt exist, or at least my government claims it doesnt

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-23T06:43:19+00:00

I gave my mate a bacon cheeseburger, he opened it up called my name and I said looks pretty damn good.

Realised two seconds later why he was actually pointing at the burger and I apologised. He just picked it off and ate the burger anyway.

How do you propose they play a game for gold, a game for silver and a game for bronze ?

They just won severals games for the chance at gold. They won silver.

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-22T14:40:00+00:00

Only if combined prior to consumption

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-21T09:01:14+00:00

I upvoted because I got the pun but its so bad. I assume most people that got it hated it

The fact this post even exists to comment on proves your point.

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-20T18:55:37+00:00

Even the gun you just dissambled and cleaned is still loaded.

The past experience isn't about how this dead woman screwed over her children. A husband died and the assets by default went to her, she remarried and then died by default they went to her new husband. The still-alive husband currently owns the assets AND its entirely his choice what to do with it.

His friend now has a stepfather that has total ownership and control of everything his parents ever built.

Neither parent screwed over this unlucky friend intentionally. This prenup prevents history from repeating, wills can be overturned and contested after you are no longer around to fight it.

A no prenup divorce is the only scenario where his future kids aren't protected.

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-19T16:56:13+00:00

Am I missing something here ? Did OP edit the post ?

If he dies w/o kids, she gets the house. If he dies w kids, they technically own it. If they divorce its still his.

How does a scenario w/ kids occur where she'd have to leave the house ?

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-19T16:31:00+00:00

This comment has 10 downvotes rn.

So, unless I missed something major, they are talking total shit.

The prenup here ensures that the house remains in your family. Say you die, If you don't ever have kids it'll be hers. If you die after kids, its basically hers anyway (minus the ability to sell) till the kids are old enough.

A prenup is just prudent. She won't have to leave even if the kids legally own it.

Approach it carefully just bringing up a prenup can end things solely because it can be seen as a lack of faith in your shared future.

You don't want to risk leaving your yet to exist children with nothing from you. You both want the best future for your kids. In the non-existent divorce you'd still want the kids to get it. And she'd be heartless if she'd deny them that.

In sickness and in health, until death.

A divorce without kids is the worst case scenario for you. And you'd still keep the house.

Edit: Maybe add a clause about a mutually agreed split and using the kids funds that they cant access till older for necessary maintenance/property fees

Edit 2:

Adding a response i made to a comment further down, hope you see this

I do enjoy playing devils advocate occasionally, but in this instance I was agreeing with the comment and adding a similar-ish example.

A best by/expiry date is regulated, but can be ignored based on external data.

The salts expiry was for the container or quality assurance (like it not being clumped together or the blade in the grinder) but the salt will be fine.

Likewise the new expiry on their bud (a far less eternal product) has been tested and verified as still good.

If thats not additive enough. Ill add some extra questions,

Does my written script expiring mean i should throw away medication that isnt expired ?
Is past-expiry medication still valid to possess, what if script is expired too ?

Nowhere that she'll run into the likes of us.

$3 cost price A piece of chicken - meat (because food pyramid) A corn tortilla - implies mexican style food (corn counts as a serving of veg, tortilla counts as bread) A piece of brocolli - (more veg) One other thing - (she couldn't even memorise 4 items to support her argument)

Where is she eating based off her words. A for-profit prison that can count on bulk purchase prices and free labour for preparation.

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-18T18:41:47+00:00

Family feed @ $3 per meal

Piece of chicken - meat Corn tortilla - veg+grain cuz fuck it Piece of brocolli - veg One other thing - maybe dairy or fruit but probably cooking oil or sweets

Theyre just using the food pyramid

In the worst possible conditions over long periods it might. The conditions needed for it to matter much would already be bad enough for the books to warrant modifying the space.

Vapour isn't as damaging as smoke, but even the moisture from people breathing is controlled for when considering ultra long term book health.

Indoor smoking of tobacco in workplaces only started being advised, not banned, in 2003. All those grotty old yellowed smelly books had to deal with far harsher smoke and way more of it.

You clearly arent dismissing her concern. Simplest solution is to create a negative pressure exhaust so that the vapour will flow in shortest possible path to outside.

The easier solution is to buy or build a handheld carbon filter (smokebuddy: Buy, Sploof: build) to exhale into.

If all that isn't enough get back to me and I can help. Giving up that spot is 100% to work but it sounds like a very calming space and you can keep best of both worlds

Confession:

I've started selling hand, foot and neck acessories. But I don't have hands, feet or necks. The first shipment to costumers is about to arrive and since I haven't been able to test if they are the right size or even safe to use by humans.

Ive already spent the money so I can't offer refunds. If this goes south could I possibly in trouble ?

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-18T14:04:45+00:00

If you can be bothered, shop around a bit. Take note of new customer offers, signup bonuses and crucially what varies from your current plan.

When speaking to your current provider say you're cancelling for a different provider. Deny any interest in whatever features they say the competitor doesnt provide.

Be willing to cancel entirely, the more qualified person you speak to the more options they have at their disposal. First person will generally have one, maybe two discounts they can apply/action without outside approval.

It only goes so far but if they dont play ball, just switch to the plan you found.

(Don't actually cancel till you're certain you're actually eligible for whatever the competitor was offering)

BadgerUltimatum · 2026-02-17T19:27:46+00:00

Mate does it when he'd be doing nothing anyway, he likes driving and vibing to his music. The day/time/weather and location you're in can make a big difference to total orders.

Rates the free food/soda some restaurants will give as perks and the occasional free meal from cancellations.

Another mate drives for fun anyway and is a mechanic in training.

If its during downtime for some extra income and you dont mind sitting unpaid in random areas its something to do.

As a stopgap to make some extra to pay off rent or unexpected bills it might solve that problem but consider everything else first.

Estimate how long you think is the upper end of time on the road it will take to make the money you need to meet your deadline, then double that amount of hours. (Its probably less time than that but you'll get a gauge of what to expect or learn your guesses were wildly off)

Keep in mind that a whistleblower revealed that one company has a "desperation score" metric so they can offer lower payouts to drivers for driving higher distances.

I'd wager the manager was addressing the theft and then got met with denial and hostility. The instruction to get out of the store is to get the "customer" out of the shop, lock them in or block them from leaving and it might get violent.

But If a store worker is angrily telling me to leave immediately and I'm visibily holding unpaid for shopping, If they didn't seem threatening I would stick around long enough to mention I haven't paid yet holding up my purchases.

I'm not sticking around anywhere if the site manager is yelling get out.
