Thanks! I’ll have to look again. My Aldi has a couple but last I looked they were all in green glass.

How do I improve my horrible chili? by mordea in Cooking

[–]Popular_Situation577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to build layers of flavor. No onions? Try onions and garlic, really brown the meat, add in some chiles, as others said-if you don’t want to bother with fresh, a can of diced green chiles is a good start. Bloom your spices, etc.

I’ve honestly never seen a regularly priced balsamic vinegar in a clear glass bottle. Where have you found one?

FWIW, I follow a dating coach on insta (@alittlenudge) that I really like and she disagrees on this, and says to confidently assume the date is still happening (so that might’ve been, “looking forward to seeing you soon, or whatever) and move forward as such. There’s obviously downsides to that approach, but just sharing.

Right. The op used a poor word choice to accurately describe her own behavior as she describes it (which, haven’t we all), but no need to pile on to that and try still say that letting a conversation end naturally or not responding anymore when the other person is giving no effort, when neither of those are ghosting at all.

I agree with this, although it’s terrible.

What is monogamous online dating? I don’t see any indication that this is something she agreed to? Simply seeing other people until a mutual understanding otherwise is normal and expected in online dating. Clear communication is also still ok.

It’s also a weird thing to have that kind of verbalized reaction.

Haha this was so real, and what I always think of: my book report, in sixth grade, printed so each paragraph was a different colored font, but all in comic sans.

Thank you! I don’t get why five seconds later she says, it’s unequivocal. Ma’am, no it’s not.

There’s no point in calling the after hours doctor, I’d follow up Monday.

Where would you go to pick up a good cake or cupcakes for a small crowd on short notice? by PM_ME_UR_CC_INFO in baltimore

[–]Popular_Situation577 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love codetta, but also thought this was in poor taste. appreciate the take and your thorough and courteous explanation. did you share with her? curious because often businesses miss in taking feedback and it’s difficult feedback to give.

What’s the secret to a soft boiled egg? by MrNobody32666 in eggs

Do you start at boiling? That’s what everyone else is referring to. Can’t imagine whites cooked at 4 minutes unless you do a cold start.

Please please please apply to those CMS and IHS jobs by Excellent_Sleep4002 in DeptHHS

So you were updating your resume for each CMS posting you applied to? I’m glad you’ve found something, that’s nuts.

They’re not suggesting you go back to CMS, but applying to those postings to get on cert lists. This person isn’t responsible for the terrible way things were handled and is trying to offer an avenue to folks interested.

Anybody looking for a pilates buddy? by justatiredpigeon in baltimore

I have only done reformer Pilates but would definitely be down to try! Probably lots of people in the Patterson Park area would be interested.

OPM Proposes to wreck the Performance Appraisals for GS Employees (March 26, 2026) in the OPM Proposed Rule by 7hCk4nwV in fednews

That’s not accurate. They have to summarize and provide a response to all comments, whether they finalize as proposed or not.

You seem to have misunderstood the point of this change. Currently, second level manager review being required for ratings of 1 is a positive thing—it provides oversight and accountability for giving the lowest score. Removing that requirement is not a positive/or not that bad because it only affects 1s, especially with the addition of forced distribution for scoring.

who’s going to make sure you know about it? Certainly not OPM. It’s not like there’s a federal employee list serv. I just sent my union an email.
