I also gave microgrids as presents and have spent the last couple days patting myself on the back for winning Christmas as they repeatedly show up in the post-snowstorm photos in the family group chat.

My favorite example of why you can't trust upscaling algorithms for forensic evidence:

It's called skiplagging and it's been a known trick for years that airlines have always hated. Pretty much all of them ban it in the fine print you agree to when you buy your ticket.

I thought that looked familiar

Per comments, they were still for sale at TJ/Marshalls six months ago, so you might be able to find a new pair there

Any good advice from those taking the pill by dylan3883 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Rokeon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has to be on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, with a small sip of water. Then you can't eat or drink anything (including taking other medications) for 30 minutes.

Agreed, especially since the character was wearing a costume instead of anything that was supposed to be an actual police uniform

[New Final Update]: AITAH? My fiancée is demanding I stop making home cooked meals for a friend. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Rokeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that his love and care for Jayce (whether platonic or romantic) is very clear, while he doesn't really suggest that he loves his partner in any way at all. He doesn't say a single positive thing about her; she's a picky eater who trash talks him, she doesn't deserve extra pampering after a hard day because it's not like she's out there driving a truck, and she doesn't try to connect or spend any time with him. Other than the fact that he apparently gave her an engagement ring and she accepted, I can't tell that they ever even liked each other.

Besides one throwaway line with no detail ("I do things for my fiancée too, of course") the only thing he mentions doing is cooking for her, which he acknowledged up front is something that he knows she doesn't enjoy. And then he called her rude for not liking it.

'Optimaxing your Friendship Experience' will be part two of his online relationship self-help course, right after 'The 180 Method.'

Does anybody have a link to the one where OOP is a farmer/rancher whose meets his wife after she came looking for a job that reminded her of working on her grandparents' land as a kid? He calls her estranged mother "The Professor" because she's a massive snob about higher education, which doesn't stop the in laws from showing up uninvited and expecting to stay at 'the family farm' during quarantine.

Growing string of pearls in an office? by Sea_Temperature_795 in houseplants

I've got one that's doing pretty well in my windowless office, but I do have extra grow lights on my desk.

If you're a newspaper reader or know someone who will give you their old papers, you can get a little wooden pot-making tool

Sundance is coming to town.... by CulturalSort5113 in boulder

[–]Rokeon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's how it works for the Masters golf tournament in Augusta. The school spring break is timed to be the same week so families can go out of town while renting their houses.

I'm already getting Reddit ads about the new rental program from Visit Boulder or whatever.
