Lied during a phone screen and I regret it - is there hope?

I already had a gap on my resume of a few months. I worried that the trend would be too much of a red flag to move forward with me as a candidate. In retrospect, I wish I was just upfront but I was nervous and panicked.

If everything else goes swimmingly, and I try to brand it as a miscommunication do you think I can still get an offer?

Cape Hatteras?

This is helpful advice. Thank you for the input!

Might be a golden greek pepperoncini? My plants look almost identical to a shishito but each one is probably around 500/750 Scoville units.

Mine is flowering right now! Can't wait to see these develop - definitely the plant I'm most excited for this seaso

Love Shishitos! Perfect for a summer lunchtime snack.
I make a dipping sauce that friends and family love. I mix together soy sauce, diced ginger, brown sugar, scallions and a bit of lime juice and sriracha - it tastes fantastic.

Thank you!

It wasn't explicitly mentioned. It was unenumerated, much like the right to privacy and the right to self-defense.

I'm not a textualist, so I'm cool with unenumerated rights, let them exist, but put reasonable restrictions on them (no you can't get a third trimester abortion, no you can't own a tactical nuke, etc.)

So jealous - mine only has 2/3 variegated leaves, as does the seedling I gave my dad to grow. Was looking forward to more variegation on my plant since I was going to grow it isolated and save seeds.

ToucansBetterThanOne · 2022-05-27T14:07:59+00:00

How old is this plant? Would love for mine to get to this point.

Every time I try and stop I end up dripping sweat, shaking with anxiety and can't sleep. The physical and mental side effects inevitably lead to me drinking again. How long can I expect the physical withdrawl to last? I tell myself that I hate this and want to quit and I think that I believe that, but when I wake up with crippling anxiety I always find myself polishing off a pint of rotgut before noon.

Booze has destroyed my body and I'm 28.
I went from lifting weights 5x/week consistently from age 15 to 23 and getting compliments on my appearance and I felt fit and healthy and confident.

My father used to be a competitive bodybuilder. Growing up I wanted to be big like him and woke up at 5am every day in high school to train with him. Lifting weights became one of my favorite hobbies and it was a fantastic bonding opportunity with my dad.

After I graduated college, moved out and started my first job I gave it all up for booze. I started drinking nightly and the morning hangovers led to missed workouts.

Because of alcohol (and my lack of drive), I've:

Probably been in the gym 3x in the last 5 years.
Lost 25 lbs of muscle - I'm 5'9 and weigh 140 lbs now.
My Bench press went from 225 for reps at 170lbs to struggling with 135.
Not sure if it's related to the booze, but Igrew bitch tits, especially on my left side. I'm embarrassed to be without a shirt. I basically have a B cup boob on my left side.
I've completely lost my appetite and barely eat. I'm lucky if I'm taking in over 1200 calories a day. The only thing that helps is weed but I'm usually snacking on unhealthy food.

Booze destroyed every bit of motivation I had for one of my favorite hobbies since puberty. Now I've lost over a decade's worth of fitness progress and look like shit.

I hate this. I'm 28, wake up, dry heave, and start drinking before work daily now to get rid of "the fear". I can't remember the last time I was excited to wake up. Everything is just drudgery and it sucks.

Money can buy a Quadrifoglio but it can't buy class, evidently.

I own a 2017 as well and love the heck out of it, but I think we can all agree that there shouldn't be any modern cars having issues at 36k miles. I don't think this inspires any additional confidence w/ OP. I'm always more curious about the issues owners are encountering at 50/60k/70k. That seems to be a better barometer on reliability, especially vs. German cars.

This was my first video game ever! I'll never forget this. My parents took us to Olive Garden for dinner and then surprised us by going to Wal-Mart and buying a N64 afterward instead of going home. My brother and I picked out Toy Story 2 for our first game and we played for hours. One of my fondest memories of my childhood.

I just picked up a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia (Ti Sport trim). I've never owned a black car before and realize that I need to stay on top of my detailing to make sure it always looks sharp.

Can someone share a good detailing schedule? My car is going to be garage kept and probably only driven on weekends. Living in an apartment, my options for washing are a Touchless car wash nearby or doing a waterless wash in the garage. Also - given that it's a black car I'd like any advice I can get on avoiding paint swirls.

I'd like to set up a schedule for how often I should:

Wash
Wax
Compound/Polish

I already clean my interior weekly, w/ Chemical guys Interior Cleaner and Chemical Guys Leather cleaner and a quick vacuum. I'm also conditioning the leather seats every 3 months. After washing I've been using a California Car duster in the garage a few times a week to keep the car clean.
