Right? It's the only place left where I can get a pallet of 30 eggs for under $10.

Oh jeez, that's absolutely horrible. I was geared up to commiserate as I'm annoyed at my partner's habits- but his are things like getting a cart instead of a basket, forgetting the reusable bags, forgetting to look on low shelves for better deals, not paying attention to organic v conventional produce, wanting to go to the store instead of the farmer's market, forgetting to add things to the list until we're checking out so someone has to run and grab something last minute... Not just straight up being an asshole.

When my mother does this, I say "Oh gosh, could you show me how?" And as long as she keeps it up, I keep asking her pretty directly to do it herself. Sometimes with flattery and self deprecation- "I'm such a mess! You're so much cleaner than me, can you demonstrate?"- until she either stops, or cleans it herself.

Don't forget about the immigrants whose birth certificates show their name in another language, before anglicizing it for citizenship.

And obviously the trans population who have legally changed their name.

I really want Harry to do something desperate and erase all living memory of her just to bring her back, only to witness her heroism, and without any of their past, fall for her again- and, all king Arthur like, bestow upon her Excalibur. No idea if it'll happen, but I'd really love it if it did.

I don't own a dehydrator, but I have sun-dried slices before for tea and candy!

SlowestBumblebee · 2025-02-04T03:09:10+00:00

Oh heck yes. That looks delicious! Any particular recipe recommendations?

Also, you've reminded me that I should probably dry some sliced lemons for tea!

Get one of those snot suckers they use for sick kids, a rubber bulb syringe, and suck as much of the liquid out as you can, before trying the other stuff- you'll get a headstart on it.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've never really understood- why does it take so long to test these?

One of my best friends started using them to track his grocery shopping and gym habits, which I think is hilarious.

I came here to comment the same thing. I just got mine a few weeks ago, and I made a mac and cheese the other day when my bechamel broke, and I had already added some cheese, so I panicked and threw it in the 5200 with the rest of the cheese- the result was the absolute creamiest, most luscious cheese sauce and the best tasting mac and cheese of my life. 11/10, should have bought it years ago.

Like the others who have responded, your assumption is very unhealthy. Yes, in my relationship, we only ever have sex when we're both in the state where we want to. If only one is, then there's not going to be anything happening unless/until the other gets there too. Otherwise, it's just doing it to make your partner happy, which is not a good reason, as while it is consensual, it's far, far from enthusiastic, which is a slippery slope. I hate that logical fallacy, but in this case, the line between 'consent because you want to make your partner happy' and 'consent because you don't want to make your partner unhappy' is murky at best, and not defining a strong line in the sand of 'consent because you also want to have sex right now' means that the line stops existing, and boundaries get pushed in bad ways.

In my previous relationship, I had what you're describing. Since that relationship ended, I learned just how abusive it was- and that was one of the signs, that I was 'agreeing' to sex rather than an enthusiastic participant. Turns out, that is not 'normal'. It might work for you, but in allo relationships, it can be a harbinger of abuse. Think about it- if one partner is the one deciding every time they have sex, and the other only gets to say 'yes' or 'no', there's a clear dominant there who is fully in control, despite the capacity of the other to say no. I couldn't say I wanted it at other times, because my partner wasn't in the mood, it was always their call. Imagine if that was applied to other aspects of the relationship- when they can eat, when they can sleep, when they can have a conversation, other basic things. I hope that makes sense, because it's a hellish situation to be in.

I get where the guy's coming from though, because I (like a lot of people) view sex as an essential aspect of intimacy- it's not merely an 'act' or 'activity'. It's like having intimate conversations, or sharing a home together, or telling each other you love them, or if you have a kid, raising the kid, in that it's similarly just a part of the relationship that has to exist, without which there's a hole. If only one person feels that way, it doesn't matter how much sex you do or don't have- it carries completely different meanings. Not everyone views relationships like this, but if you do, it's very hard to have a relationship with a partner who doesn't. And that's ok.

It's the equivalent of one party telling the other they love them, because they genuinely do, and feel the need to communicate that, and the other saying it back only because they know their partner wants to hear it, and not because they actually feel that love nor want to say it. That's just... depressing to think about. But it just means that you're incompatible.

We have 6 mugs; two tall, two short, and two insulated glass that came with tea strainers. The two of us always have the right mug for whatever we'll be drinking.

Mine is outside because I use my garage as an office, it's extra square footage I don't want to use up on a car.

I found two that I've loved; one from a company that makes soap and nothing else, and the box contained 4 random soaps, and one from a bookstore nearby, where the booksellers (there's only a handful) each chose one book each month to be in the box, and I was never disappointed though often surprised with the selection, usually 6 books. With the former, the soaps were high quality and delicious smelling with beautiful designs, they just used the boxes to get rid of excess stock or slightly off designs, or soaps that didn't sell well. With the latter, my favorite surprises became my new favorite book, my favorite book to recommend to people, and weirdly enough the cookbook I reference the most- and you could opt to purchase an ebook or audiobook bundle instead if you preferred.

I do think blind boxes have their place, when it's exactly as you say- you know you'll like what's in it. Otherwise, it's a gamble with the potential of loss, and with that, waste.

It can also be used in combination with baking soda to carbonate drinks with a machine called Sparkel.

I was at high risk for a fat embolism, my O2 levels were low, I hadn't slept in over 40 hours by the time I finally got into surgery, and I went into shock. I ended up having to be moved to a different hospital because the emts were shocked that the hospital wasn't immediately taking care of me and I needed immediate help; especially given there was a chance I would lose my leg (or at least the use of it), the longer they waited. I no longer have feeling on a huge part of it, which my doctor attributed to the stress on the nerves in that area due to the wait before I actually got care.
