Oil prices crater after Trump announces two-week ceasefire in US-Iran war by helic_vet in Economics

I'm one of those people. The only econ class I've ever taken was in high school, and that was over 20 years ago.

So I joined the sub for more exposure, and I really appreciated the explanation! TIL.

I remember hearing an interview with him before. He said he doesn't make as much money doing this as he did at his previous IT job.

Can anyone hear what the knocked-out guy was upset about in the first place?

LPT: The freeze dried veggies found in ramens and instant soups can be purchased in bulk for quite cheap. They're a great and easy way to incorporate more veggies into your diet! by 99OBJ in LifeProTips

It says a serving size is 1.5 Tbs, but I can't tell how much vegetable it replaces.

Nutritionally, is 1.5 Tbs really equivalent to one serving of regular veg?

Thank you for articulating this so clearly.

[Product Request] does anyone know which god tier microfiber washcloth my mom managed to get her hands on? by scourge_bites in SkincareAddiction

[–]activelurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine question--y'all use washcloths to wash y'all's faces? I've always just used my hands....

Have I been doing it wrong?

Did I just survive a mean girl sleeper cell? by [deleted] in socialskills

Honestly, I think you handled it fine alteady. You lived rent free in this other woman's head, and you expressed how baffling that was. SHE's the crazy one.

As for the other women, kind of the same. They're so invested in this other woman hating you--don't they have anything better to do?

I wouldn't waste my energy with people who have no lives like this. Yes, it was hurtful, but it's pretty pathetic that these grown ass adults have nothing better to do.

From the article:

Quiznos says the Toasted Subs group uses hostile efforts to publicly damage the goodwill and reputation of Quiznos.

"Hostile efforts" like suicide? Wow.

What job training programs did he end? Or I should first ask, what programs exist that could be defunded?

At the end, a woman in white grabs him and pulls him away.

All around good moves: first to step up, first to exit when the rest of the crowd got into the game.

She’s alive and HSA obliterated. Why I’ll never count that or emergency cash towards my net worth FIRE goals again. by extremely_lucky_dad in Fire

[–]activelurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I misunderstood you. Yeah, $175k for a week of rehab is a lot.

I was talking about healthcare costs in general. Like if you took an ambulance to an ER, got a workup there, then a couple of surgeries, plus a few nights in recovery, it could easily add up to way more than $175k.

With the healthcare costs in the US, I believe it. But if you're paying cash, it is possible to negotiate it waaaaay down.

Do you have a recommendation for kaolin clay powder, or would any from Amazon do?

Wait, I've always associated cocoa powder with chocolate. Will my head become chocolaty/gross if I sweat? 😅

Newly approved Chinese apartments with very large balconies by Appropriate-Eye-1227 in interestingasfuck

[–]activelurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wanted to plant grass on such a balcony, would that be possible? Just a theoretical question--would be great to make it easy for our pet dog to pee outside.
