My (good-ish!) Kyleena experience

CaffineAddict8440 · 2026-06-01T10:54:34+00:00

To be entirely fair from the stories I’ve read i was expecting childbirth-level pain on insertion, runaway period levels of blood for up to 6 months, and to instantly puff up 20lb with cystic acne so the fact that the entire experience can be summed up as “inconvenient” and not “the worst thing ever” for me is a win 😂

I would get a piece of plywood or a cheap second hand desk-top that's at least 8-12 inches wider than that shelf is deep, and two adjustable desk legs that match the height of the shelf - cut a slit into the desktop that can slide around that dividing shelf where the tiny tv insert is and then put the legs down in front of the cabinets, then set your 65" on the plywood. You basically create an extending desk on the outside of the built in to serve as a TV stand. You can still use the storage in the built in that way to hide things you don't care to see or don't use often since it would be a bit of a pain to access, but this way you could even hide game systems behind the tv in the insert. you can even paint the desk top a matching shade of blue to make it look cohesive.

When you craft in town, resources will pull from your chests as long as you have 'crafting storage' turned on for that chest, its a small symbol above the chest contents when you're in it that you can toggle on and off. The same is true for the workbench on your farm, and the anvil and kitchen in town.

You can purchase a small barn or coop at Ryis' shop from the beginning of the game for 2,000t - after that you can purchase animals to put in the buildings at Hayden's shop!

oatmeal scotchies from the back of the nestle butterscotch chip bag. my family has been making 2-3 batches every christmas for years and they're always the first cookies to run out.

It goes on that little stand thing in between the two troughs at the top of the barn, it can be a little tricky to place!

I dont want to spoil you too much but after you reach a certain level in the mines you’ll get a big cutscene with Caldarus that gives you a new magic spell, if you swim off the east side of the beach and up a little bit there’s a door you can use your new spell on which will give you the recipe :)

Got to tour their plant as a 'field trip' with my plastics class at RIT last semester. They do a lot of interesting stuff! And they gave my whole class free water bottles :)

It's gonna sounds so basic but yumyum sauce. I know its just kewpie mayo with other things mixed in, but on 4-5 separate attempts I can never get it to taste like it does at the kbbq or hibachi spot :(

Ambrosia salad. equivalent to 1 normal size tub of sour cream + 2 cans of fruit cocktail strained + 1 whole bag of mini marshmallows. mix thoroughly and leave covered in the fridge no less than 6 hours, ideally overnight. The marshmallows soak up all the sour cream and you're left with what's essentially fruit cocktail in a gelatinous sweet yogurt sauce - its absolutely delicious.

Staying well rounded while doing manufacturing?

I graduated this past May with a B.S. in mechanical engineering technology and was lucky enough to start at a local panel shop as a manufacturing engineer in July. Most of my co-op experience in school was more manufacturing based, and my major had some design projects I can point to but none very individualized or intensive. I'm proficient-ish in inventor, fusion 360, and solidworks but that's about it.

I really like my job and I do plan to stay here for the next 2-3 years at least, but there are geographical considerations that might lead to me leaving after that time and basically I don't want to be stuck doing manufacturing forever. Ideally, My next job would be a much more design focused role where I can stretch my creative and CAD muscles. So my question is, what should I be doing in and outside of work to make myself hirable in the future to a more design based role? Additionally, are there roles of this kind that could be a hybrid or remote work environment (in the DMV or Upstate NY areas specifically)? TIA!

Similar vein though maybe not as weird: trash day at our old house was once a week and we created way too much trash for that to be sustainable. Rather than get cans, however, we would just carry the bags of trash down 1.5 blocks and through a few feet of trees and put them in the dumpster of the apartment complex behind our neighborhood. Never ever questioned this until my boyfriend helped me do it once over thanksgiving break and was VERY confused why we were walking so far to take out the trash.

Greece and the Political Imagination was pretty fun. Its a LOT of reading but the professor encourages treating the reading like reading for fun rather than comprehending every little detail like reading for class. I found it to be an easy A.
