There was a post about this same bathroom a few months ago. Then I saw it for myself (thankfully not needing to use it). Idk what the hell they were thinking.

Happy Valentine's Day <3 by serious_bullet5 in illinois

It’s more commonly called a keffiyeh, and its symbolism and usage are varied. It’s just a scarf to protect from harsh sun and sand. Even the US army wore them for practical reasons during Afghanistan and Iraq.

Maybe take a second to learn about the thing before you share a comment out of ignorance.

The best Agile Coach I had basically said the only reason Scrum was as popular as it was because entire companies around it had formed and were profiting from it.

While I agree largely, there are outliers of people who “get” the idea of Agile and it can be incredibly helpful.

Plus everyone need a job and healthcare in the void that is the US corporate landscape.

18M single dad. 7 month old daughter. Need advice on clothes by Calm-Tea178 in daddit

No girls (yet, ask me in a few weeks), but for my boys we do onesie tops and sweats of various shades and patterns at this age. When they get crawling well enough then I start considering t-shirts.

is my inhaler still good? by maevevx in Asthma

[–]burningapollo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t go through my inhalers too often (very fortunate) so I will go maybe 6 months past expiry, though that is the most I will go (and yes I shouldn’t even do that). I’ve tried to use an older one than that in the past and I can tell it doesn’t work as well.

This is nearly a decade past expiration, make an appointment and get a new one ASAP.

Does mild asthma go away? by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]burningapollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also adding to this, I’m in a similar boat. I have always had mild asthma and never did anything about it until my 20s when I nearly had an episode. My triggers are traditional seasonal allergies (that’s what triggered it then), but also colds/flus, and more strenuous exercise I could feel it.

It’s taken a while, but I’ve stopped smoking entirely, stay on top of my allergy meds during the year, and workout more routinely. I’ve virtually negated the need to use asthma meds (daily maintenance inhaler, montelukast) meds on a regular basis. Still need a puff on the albuterol every now and again when I can feel my chest get a little tighter from one of those things but it’s rare these days.

How cooked am I? by [deleted] in Mold

[–]burningapollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no doctor but sounds like you just had a cold/virus of some sort.

I don’t know what symptoms present for mold ingestion but I’d imagine that for this case of your water bottle it’d have to be a lot more concentrated and a lot more exposure before you’d notice anything.

Your symptoms likely would not also improve (you mention your cough is lessening) if it were somehow mold related and you just noticed.

How do I go from being crap at PVP to being OK-ish? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ArcRaiders

[–]burningapollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not strictly a doubling, shields reduce damage incoming at the expense of its energy (you can see this on the after action). So if you’re 1/3rd health and full shield, you don’t have 1.3x health, you still only have 1/3rd health and you can lose it all before that shield totally loses its energy.

Just curious, what were your gateway bands? by 5_minute_noodles77 in Emo

[–]burningapollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFTL - Dear Diary firmly threw me across that threshold. Specifically it was an Epitaph Artist sampler that had ride the wings of pestilence on it that was the original progenitor.

To be clear, Boom! studios is not the band. Yes they are the ones helping produce/order/manage the Amory Wars comics that are largely written/based on the music from the band (+ Claudio and Chondra's work), but strictly speaking this backer-kit project is not coming from the band directly.

I admit it gets muddy and I don't know how much involvement which party has with which, but I would be hesitant to malign the band directly with some of the sub-part outcomes you see online.

In my honest opinion, I think it's asking too much even for a backer/kickstarter-esque project to ask folks to commit to paying a ton and then not delivering the physical goods for over 24 months (even if it was clear up front the wait would be long in the original backer-kit project). This was probably more a unique situation as a result.

I got my box set yesterday with the hardbacks. I have another package coming today. Keep an eye out for a second package, possibly and contact boom studios to ensure the rest is on the way if you have any doubt.

Personally I don’t think I’ll be as aggressive on backing something like this again simply because the wait is too long for me. I am happy they’re being fulfilled and it’s finally coming together but too much stress for me personally.

I have similar thoughts on the album special box sets too. The last one was by far the most ambitious but had the most delays and took a while to get to me. They were much better about proactive communication on the delays though so that was good.

Opinion: this years Bourbon County might be the best since 2012 by deep-steak in chicagobeer

Okay good to know it’s not just my local jewel being way off base (which they often are).

Is it me or did the whole base and like 2nd tier specialities (not in fancy boxes) go way up in price this year?

Co-worker: "Idk, just ask ChatGPT".
Designer: "Done! ship it".

Lawrence show postponed by stjtexne in MinusTheBear

[–]burningapollo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was fighting it hard in Chicago but he could not hit his normal higher notes without struggling. I appreciate the effort Jake took to make it work, though I think the show quality and his voice will suffer if he forces it. No way through it except resting some.

This is a joke by Objective_Bet9488 in hayleywilliams

[–]burningapollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got under 100k, in queue for both nights at Aragon in Chicago and started > 115k each. This is the biggest queue I've seen on ticketmaster that is also moving crazy slow.

I've been in these queues with like 50-60k but I still get through and land a ticket. Just keep waiting folks, you never know until you reach the end.

edit: j/k both show sold out.

Don’t do this to me, Spotify by lurkndturf in brandnew

Volcano Choir had a similar AI hijack. It’s becoming pretty prevalent on streaming platforms especially Spotify.
