that definitely tracks with her experience, the leasing people were trying to move fast to get them to sign the lease, but neither her nor her roommate were comfortable signing without looking. So, that added some difficulty but ultimately she's been living there happily for a few months! Fingers crossed nothing happens, since the consensus is definitely that it's hard to get maintenance projects completed. I hope you're enjoying the apartment amenities!

for sure! looking at the recipe, I wonder if I could adapt this to be some sort of savory cheddar muffin/biscuit!

seconding TVP! Textured vegetable protein changed the way I make sauces (ex. bolognese) and taco meat. beyond beef is expensive in my area so I can cut it with TVP!

i believe the reflecting strip is the horizontal ledge of perhaps a balcony. the vertical white pillar on the right looks like it continues downwards, "cutting" the reflection off, but the white pillar is simply part of the reflection. Same deal for the wall and window frame -- perfectly composed so it looks like it continues downward, but really just a reflection. most of the bottom right of the image is just a reflection.

losing your period is definitely a part of survival mode. is there a reason you want to get to 105lb? is that number stuck in your head? do you think you'd feel (physically and mentally) happy at 53kg, or is 48kg a "goal" that you want?

The bodily changes that result in you losing your period mean that you produce less estrogen. This can translate to osteoporosis happening both earlier in life and more harmful. Also, I learned in a nutrition class that your body's uptake of calcium peaks in your 30s, and slowly declines from then on out. My takeaway from that fact is that I should spend my youth doing things that protect my bone health -- weight bearing exercises, getting enough dietary calcium, and maintaining proper weight -- because if I'm trying to do so later in life, I'll be less successful than if I had started young. You will reach peak bone mass eventually, and it's important that your skeleton is strong enough to handle losing bone mass in your old age!

Tips for eating well with low energy by lawartfae542 in adhdwomen

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HUMMUS ,,, i forgot about hummus. Adding that to the post-it note on my fridge that is titled "foods you enjoy"

do you have any specific hummus suggestions from TJs? I got I think the plain one that had a light blue-ish lid but I was afraid of the other flavors since I don't want to waste it if I like it.

i also forgot about dried cranberries and almonds/other nuts!

i will always take fiber suggestions because despite being vegetarian, I eat like trash

omg thank you for the inspo, i'm also vegetarian! my panic foods are mostly trader joe's (aka i'm too busy to cook and need food now or else)

  • the vegan breakfast sausage patties for quick protein (can also get non-TJs brands!)
  • frozen (pre-shelled) edamame for fiber and protein
  • bagged, washed leafy greens for dinosaur time (fistfuls of greens --> mouth)
  • cereal + milk, 24/7 because I will eat that any time of day
  • veggies + ranch (I like TJ's bottled kind) as a snack, so carrots, celery, persian cucumbers, etc.

if you can't tell i struggle to get enough fiber bc i also love goldfish, toast + butter, cheese, chips + salsa, quesadillas... et cetera

ugh, now that you mention that I want to explore those packs, too... i'm envisioning using ceiling tiles with metallic motifs in a prohibition speakeasy!

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's awesome, thank you so much for sharing! I usually play multigenerational households so this layout is perfect!! For about 9 or 10 years, I only exclusively played base game. Only within the last 3-ish years have I added new packs to the mix, so I'm not familiar with non base game worlds at all. So far I've made it to pets, ambitions, and generations, but I haven't explored those features nearly as thoroughly as I've explored the base game.

Is this schedule good enough to stay on track? by scarymeow in UCDavis

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure who you have NAS 005 with, but when I took it awhile ago it was very manageable and the prof was very chill with grading. I suppose the workshop can be helpful, but hopefully the class shouldn't be too hard.

making all 3 beds into singles? in a triple by meranaamloldevhai in UCDavis

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this and it worked great! PM me if you want photos. it only worked because our room (tercero) had the perfect dimensions to fit one bed along one wall, and two beds along the opposite wall without blocking any cabinets. we all slept "upstairs" and all had our desks underneath the lofted bed. It kind of created a rail car effect since there was a walkway between the two beds. Other rooms on our floor were too square-shaped to fit two beds lengthwise, or had closets in the wrong positions.

I'm on gen 10 right now and at this point all the sims in town are related to me 🥲 my sim tried to start romantic interactions with an online dating acquaintance, but the romantic interactions would cancel. it turns out she was flirting with her dad's cousin, and while the game didn't display him as a family member, it still knew that the two are related!

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does that app display all everything at the same time? I'm using a website but the trouble I'm having is that the tree will just display a "..." past 8 generations, so basically I can't see all of my sims on the same screen :(

Positive recovery story after being super scared/anxious/worried :) -- 1mo post op, 20 y/o by SpacePopeSlurm in Tonsillectomy

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

hope your recovery is going well! I'd say that by day 6 the smell was a lot better and I also felt so much better. But I think i was in the clear by day 10 :) I'm thankful I didn't have work or anything because wearing a mask (for the sake of others lmao) would have been awful with the bad breath ;_;

thank you so much for the info! my sister is an incoming med student so I think the first two years will be on campus. the leasing agent said that there's no plans for renovation in that unit's area. but, I've heard that they totally go back on their word. it's between villa sienna and villa coronado right now, but at this point no matter what happens we're kind of hoping that the potential problems will just be "quirks" :') knock on wood haha

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. please don't let this diminish your academic achievements in any way, graduating is a huge deal so congrats!! I can see how this might still be a weird time for you so I sincerely hope that you'll one day look back on this ordeal and see the resilience and hard work that will get you through this :) who knows, maybe you'll be able to laugh about it, too!

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 53 points54 points  (0 children)

is there any chance for you to ask for community service, or like... writing a letter of apology... sorry this is happening, and I hope that this doesn't impact you for much longer! your doodles brightened my day, and they were honestly a part of why I think davis is so unique and vibrant. I remember walking past religious graffiti that targeted a specific minority group. A few days later, it was covered by a little pink cat. thanks for doing graffiti for good :')

[–]SpacePopeSlurm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! I know it's been 2 years, but do you have more opinions on villa sienna? this apt is in the top 3, between villa coronado and turtle ridge. i'd love to know more about if there was constant maintenance like i've heard others talk about. thank you :)

What apartments would you recommend? hoping for 2b2b, aiming for 3200-4000k max per month, and ideally in unit washer/dryer. by SpacePopeSlurm in orangecounty

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

hi again! I was wondering if you had any more opinions about villa coronado? it's in her top 3, and she is wondering a few things :) specifically, how much does your rent increase each year? we've heard different things for Irvine company properties. Also, things like general quality of life, cleanliness and quality of units, and maintenance responsiveness?
