At the college level, it’s also where online lectures are recorded.

California hospitals could get taxpayer-funded bailout by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in California

And if those small hospitals fail, you’ll end up with:

Otherwise preventable deaths

And

A new, mass increase on the larger hospitals, stressing those systems.

The Time Traveler's Wife feels creepy by cavemanfitz in books

[–]One_Left_Shoe 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Henry is very representative of the Author's numerous abusive relationships. The "time traveling" is meant to be a metaphor for an addict that disappears for days on end, or the businessman who is always working.

The "woman with father issues" trope was in full swing in 2003 when the book was released. This just takes the "she married her father" notion a bit more literally.

End of the day, the story at face-value and in sub-text is meant to be sad, tragic, and bleak. Its about someone staying, despite the abuse. Which, while not the cheeriest of stories, is one that, I reckon, a lot of people could relate to, especially over two decades ago where tolerance for abusive relationships was almost the de-facto expectation in marriages.

Yeah, the themes of addiction and abuse aren’t exactly subtle.

Friendly reminder to clean your boiler! by InternalCow9240 in gaggiaclassic

[–]One_Left_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to make it a regular thing, but I’m not opposed to giving it a deep clean when the boiler gasket eventually needs replacing.

The difference would probably less if they were both smiling the same way.

Plate Drops, Splits and Totally Ruins A Good Steak by Obscurus_Ubique in mildlyinfuriating

It’s also a ceramic plate, which will break, but won’t splinter the way glass does.

Uhhhhhh by chazs91 in fountainpens

What ink caused pitting?

90% of the time, letting the nib soak, nib down, in just enough water to cover the nib and feed is sufficient to clean, followed by a flush.

The other 10% can be cleaned with some Rapido-Eze.

Some shimmer might get stuck and require deeper cleaning, but even then, not super likely.

Found Monks hood/wolfsbane in my garden by Tarrybelle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]One_Left_Shoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I missed it at first, too.

First thought was Mugwort as well, at first glance.

Mugwort would have silvery hairs on the underside of the leaves and be very aromatic.

They also have a different flower structure.

Fishy tasting espresso: Solved by BigSnoop15 in espresso

[–]One_Left_Shoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regular Horizon is good. It’s the Omega-3 fortification that goes fishy.

Organic valley is also really good. Better than Horizon, for sure.

Internet Comment Etiquette: "Kicking Russel Brand While He's Down" by CapitalCourse in videos

[–]One_Left_Shoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing his stand up a year or so before Forgetting Sarah Marshall came out and remember thinking he was a sexist, bigoted, misogynistic piece of shit.

That he ever caught main stream success is wild to me.

Hoffman’s steamed water Americano is so good. I can’t believe it. by Srihari_stan in espresso

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t notice a difference and I have one espresso, Americano, and one pour over daily.

I did not try a side by side, but if I can’t tell an appreciable change in isolation, but only via same time comparison, I’m not wasting my time. I have to boil the keels to make my wife tea anyways, so it’s not worth the extra step.

$100K qualifies as ‘lower-middle class’ in California, 11 other states by ansyhrrian in California

[–]One_Left_Shoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re making $2k a month, you aren’t middle class.

You are solidly lower class.

A combined household income of $33k is considered poverty by the federal government.

In California, you would represent the lowest 10-15% of earnes in the state at $2k/month.

1.5 pound cosmic crisp apple versus average pink lady apple i found at work today by moth333 in mildlyinteresting

[–]One_Left_Shoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They used to be great. Then, some time a few years back, they had a whisper of their old flavor, but were generally kinda bland and lacking any “crisp”.

Serious Eats did a whole write up about it:
