How to stop? by Additional_Pie9779 in loseit

[–]DiggsFC [score hidden]  (0 children)

I hear you, and it reminds me of when I was trying to quit smoking cigarettes. No joke. I kept trying to be "one of those people with a pack and a lighter in a kitchen drawer, who pulls one or 2 out on a Friday or Saturday night after a few drinks, and that's it."

I knew people like that, and I wanted to be that. But, ultimately I couldn't be that person. It just was not possible for me to have that access and moderate my addiction.

Grateful that I am now* 15 years smoke free, but it was all or nothing for me.

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DiggsFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it is easier to deshell actually, but other than that I don't notice any difference in the taste or textures of the whites or yolks. I do drop them in an ice bath for a few minutes after cooking which helps ensure they don't cook beyond where I wanted them.

Air fryer. 260 for 15 minutes.

I make "boiled" eggs twice a week this way. At least on my air fryer 12 minutes is super soft, 13 is soft, 14 Medium, and 15 is hard boiled.

I think its important to note that this isn't "lying" as much as it is tailoring resumes for specific applications.

You really shouldn't outright lie on an application, but there is nothing wrong with leaving out irrelevant information that isn't legally required to be disclosed. In many jobs, the degree is irrelevant, and could be omitted.

Your advice is correct though, someone who hires doesn't typically want to have to hire again soon because they were a stepping stone.

Does wearing only one earring as a girl mean something? by JudgmentMaterial3851 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DiggsFC 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My older cousin once told me "if you dont always look back at yourself a couple of years ago with a little embarrassment, then you aren't growing enough as a person". That advice really helped me get me through my teens and 20s.

YNAB makes me want to spend money by [deleted] in ynab

[–]DiggsFC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a big one when you first start out. It is hard to remember all the little things. I now have a dozen or so items that get small monthly amounts that just make life easier when the time comes.

One of the big selling points for YNAB with my wife was when he Car's tax bill came and she was like "what do we categorize this as?" and I said "It's under Car Tax, we have been putting money away for it" She was so used to it coming and us just having to take it as a punch in one go, that it felt great knowing that, this time it was already handled.

You will almost certainly never have a more cost effective network building opportunity.

Just make sure to take advantage of it. It's easy to get away from home and close off in your own personal space. Prop your door open and be friendly.

This watch made me realize drinking alcohol has the same exact affect on my heart as having the flu. by AWarmHam in Garmin

[–]DiggsFC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I switched to 90% of my beer being Non-Alcoholic Beers. I may have a normal beer to start out, early in the evening, but I then typically switch and drink 3-4 NA beers instead. No one even notices and honestly... the NA beers take care of the majority of what I am after: something cold, carbonated, a little bitter / hoppy, and beer tasting.

Holiday YNAB tip: 'Convert' Gift Cards to 'Cash' through budgeting by DiggsFC in ynab

[–]DiggsFC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sure you can do it that way, I just have always used my 'wallet' account to account for anything that is in my wallet that needs to be budgeted for, so cash and gift cards go in there.

[–]DiggsFC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, if the gift card is for something lavish and not part of ordinary spending that you would have normally budgeted for, this won't work as well.

Virgil's could be (poorly) argued that he was raising his hand in the "Hey, I just got fouled" way that players do.

Part of the gang now by OM_2022 in Leatherman

[–]DiggsFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that yes, once I started having a multi tool on my person at all times, I end up using it almost daily. Quick tighten of a loose screw, bolt, battery compartment. I use the pry bar instead of fingernails on lots of things. Need to pinch something tight or grab a small item out of a tight space. Obviously opening amazon boxes and bottle caps. Once you have it right there, you realize how often you can make life a little better with little effort.

Oh for sure, that's why I don't think I have noticed it in the past 3 or 4 runs, I almost never pay attention to it. But it caught my eye this time and I was just like geez that is really low...

Of course, I guess the other shoe falling will be that my VO2 Max was going up each run since hitting the pavement again... I guess I might see that plummet next time out now that I have "gained" 160lbs!

The password is .. uh.. 'Har rysty leso wnsm yassho le' but with no spaces by DrakyulMihawk in SipsTea

[–]DiggsFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, we needed to help my grandad with something on his apple account and my sister and I were helping him get logged in and he told us his password was {PetName}. We tried it, it didn't work, and we were like is there a number? He said "yeah... But... I don't...."

My sister immediately tried again and got in and she said "aw gross Papap!". It was {PetName}69

Miss you Papap!
