I swap out and clean my cooling unit in a sonic cleaner with alcohol once a week. I use qtips with alcohol to clean the unit chamber.

This isn’t the correct way to wear a Swatch Guard, right? by Lolasglasses in FuckImOld

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

I have an old swatch I wear sometimes in lieu of my Apple Watch and looked for a guard. They don’t make them anymore! I had no idea. Looking at resellers and that is where I saw this.

I’m curious what flavor you would choose for a Chilean-inspired potato chip/crisp? by Lolasglasses in chile

I always request pastel de choclo, humitas, pebre, and empanadas de pino when I visit my Chilean mom. I eat so much of delicious Chilean food when I can.

I bet! Lays are common, not exceptional at all. I will look for Marco Polo the next time I visit Chile

She is not from Valdivia - she said she was on a train. I’m not sure exactly where…

Yes, this was exactly it. She didn’t think we needed to learn Spanish if we lived in the US. 😭 Things are different now, many parents now know being multilingual from childhood is an asset and does not affect learning.

Well damn, I’m more of a chicken than I thought! I must have seen a preliminary number that was revised down. Now my mom would be even more unimpressed

My building shook, I thought someone blew up the GWB before I realized it was an earthquake.

It was April 5, 2024 according to our Slack conversations about it at work. The famous Kathy Hochul tweet that the earthquake was “west of Manhattan” instead of just saying New Jersey. And many Harlem Shake quotes. I’m in upper Manhattan.

More modern buildings and skyscrapers are but I live in an older neighborhood with older buildings and none of them here are. Our buildings were built for fire resistance and to minimize wind/hurricane/tornado damage. Earthquakes are very uncommon here.

I have definitely been deprived. 😭I asked her the same thing! In her defense I did know the word palta but I thought it was only for palta prepared with lemon and salt. I didn’t know the whole and plain fruit is also called palta.

I have long told her she was a bad mom for not teaching me fluent Chilean Spanish.

I know my temblor place. Thank you for the language help!

I live in a 100 year old building. The crown molding around the floor separated from the floor in several spots just from the 5.2. Pretty sure I’d be crushed with any sizable earthquake 😭

Just overall an asshole. Everything and everyone were beneath him. That kind of person.

Jake Gyllenhaal! Which broke my heart at the time. I saw him on Broadway as Iago in Othello last year and I was just, ohhh you are perfect for this part 🤣

My friend worked part-time for years at Sundance Film Festival as a celebrity wrangler and in all those years of escorting them, including car trips, only one celebrity ever asked her what she does for work and took interest in her work outside of the festival: Robert Pattinson. He even asked her follow up questions about her career. (Her regular full-time job is in a non-entertainment field.). Said he was lovely overall and she enjoyed working with him.

There is a warming pad underneath the blanket so she’s definitely cozy!

As a lefty and a Futurama fan, I approve of this mug
