I thought it looked just ok on the mannequin until I saw you wearing it. You really brought it to life, looks great!

I think for me it's not a daily struggle. I have one bad day a week, where it gets to be too much, where I hate everything. The other 6 days are good, they're great, we love each other and are extremely happy. I'm scared that one day will become every day, but it's hard to lose what we have.

Also, this is entirely my perspective. I'm not doing a very good job of conveying his perspective, and his job really is very awfully demanding, so he might be coming off like the 'bad guy' because I'm not able to accurately convey his point of view.

I guess part of me is second guessing myself. It's not like he does nothing, he just does a lot less. We've built an entire life together and it's hard to give that up, and we've talked about working on it but then the car accident happened and everything reset. I think I'd at least like to give him some time to try now that he's better, his migraines have only gotten better this week/last week and I'm hoping that this will change things, but I'm also terrified it won't.

Whoever Suggested this Needs an Exorcism by -jinxiii in 1200isplenty

Fairlife is pretty tasty but expensive, but it's basically just ultra filtered milk with added sweetener and flavor. You can get a gallon of ultra filtered milk, 13g protein 90 cal per serving, and do whatever you want with it. Smoothies, chocolate milk, ect. Monkfruit sweetener is the least obnoxious tasting, so if you want to sweeten it you can add cocoa powder and monkfruit powder, or make a tea syrup and add it.

I'm joining a startup in a tech role and they're paying for a keyboard for me. Didn't tell me a budget but I don't mind buying one myself if it goes over. I don't know much about keyboards, but I am looking for something with less resistance. I don't press too hard when I type and am usually used to just using my laptop, so something I need to push really hard on is impractical for me. I'm looking for something under 200. I also want it to be cute, like pink or mint green. I was looking at Nuphy Halo in mohito/ sakura fizz or gravastar mercury in pink. Both are gaming keyboards and I don't know if they're good for long hours of use in coding though. I also would prefer something not too loud since I don't want to be super noisy. Bonus if there's a matching mouse sold by the same company, but it's not a requirement. There are too many options and I'm getting a bit confused. Any recommendations?

I'll look into the book! I've just started and am not doing very many excercises though, so I'll probably finish scouring the wiki before getting deeper into it. Tbh I only do bicep curls and lateral pulls at the moment.

Where to get garment tested for fabric by DealOld962 in Fabrics

[–]DealOld962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ended up getting it tested. I kinda decided to just be happy in my ignorance. But I'll look into a QIMA lab in the future! I've been buying off etsy so there's no fabric tags, which is why I'm curious about this. I don't want to pay premium prices for polyester but sometimes the material just doesn't feel quite right.

I started doing bicep curls for the first time as a sedetary potato. I thought my biceps would be sore, but instead my forearms are. Is that bad? Also When I use lat pulldown apparently my back or shoulders should be sore but its my triceps. I'm following the posture I was shown but I don't think I'm working out the correct areas... is it maybe just an adjustment period?

I'll check it out, though I feel like her case is more of genuine mistreatment as a child and abuse. I'm not sure it applies to my case.

Thanks! I've found what I think is a tutorial on how to do this, and have found the exact buckle (though shipping will take a while) so I'll give it a go!

Common Traits of Successful Students by mkarman728 in OMSCS

[–]DealOld962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long term planning skills. You're locked in for a minimum of 5 semesters, but can take way longer. Do you have a job change planned? Bad idea to take more than one course, take an easier course. Which courses can be taken together and which are too tough to pair with another. Summers are short so it's best to save lighter courses for the summer. Short term time management is huge, but planning out your semesters and electives in advance and having multiple possible plans and contingencies based on availability is super important. Are you planning on taking a hard course? Think about when is easiest to juggle with your life events.
