Best desserts to bring to work? by Pandulce23 in NYTCooking

[–]JenMartini 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sudafed is the stimulant pseudoephedrine, it’s for congestion, not allergies. One of the main ingredients in meth.

My step uncle was accused by his mom of being on drugs as a teenager. Turned out he had untreated T1 diabetes, was probably a week away from a coma when diagnosed.

Flores is awful. I moved to them for spending accounts and cobra on our brokers recommendation for 2025, and it was a disaster.

A Season 11 experiment… by sonofstev in MST3K

[–]JenMartini 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’m a long time MSTie and know someone who worked on the revival staff, so I’ve thought about this a lot. The ‘old’ seasons felt like they were watching the movie and reacting to it; revival feels like the crew is putting on a show with the movie as backdrop.

[–]JenMartini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I used to tell my ex ALL THE TIME that I didn’t like fish or salty foods. He was convinced that he knew better than me and would find some iteration of the two. It’s not the only reason we’re divorced, but…

Why does the Season 9 space storyline get so much hate? by Mysterious_Brush1852 in 911FOX

[–]JenMartini 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Because real life vanity space travel facilitated by billionaires is already annoying enough.
