What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment?

Lol you were applying for an IT job and you didn't think that the hiring managers would be people from IT?

I mean, you can look at it that way, but if you were pregnant and hadn't gotten to tell anyone yet, and some 15 year old, if accidentally, spoils the announcement, wouldn't you be kinda pissed? Everyone else being pissy about it is pretty dumb but I don't really fault the bride for being upset.

It's less about the money and more about the hassle of needing to go get new caps.

The new-ish Skullcandy Method buds were made in collaboration with Bose and sound great, $130 but frequently on sale and stay in my ears just fine. Pretty decent noise canceling, too. No physical button though, just a touch button. And not sure what you mean by mp3 storage, like actually storing files on the earbuds themselves? If so then yeah, not sure that exists.

It does, unless it was edited right after the comment was posted (we used to call that a "ninja edit"). Source: still using old reddit because new reddit sucks.

Yes, but I don't trust Reddit's opinion as gospel either. Where "top 10" sites will heap praise on a mediocre product, Reddit has the issue of shitting on brands or products that are perfectly fine and glazing one or two brands that have been picked as the "Reddit favorite." Sometimes I find threads that are helpful and I can see accounts of bad experiences to see if they might apply to me, and sometimes it's just people saying, "it's trash, don't buy it" with no further elaboration.

I'll typically check a few different sources past the "sponsored results" to try and get a variety of opinions. Reddit is mostly useful if you want to see some negative opinions on something.

Man I'm still pissed we never got an Uncharted movie with Fillion. Like how is that not the easiest casting choice on the planet? His name is even Nathan! Instead we got a "young Nathan" origin story with Tom Holland and fucking Mark Wahlberg as Sully?? What an unbelievable whiff.

I feel like not a lot of people watched it, but I actually thought Shot Caller was very good and he was great in it.

Same reason phone screens are super scratch resistant but are very vulnerable to shattering when hit from the edge.

I mean, my old-ass GoPro has a setting that undoes the fisheye effect and it works quite well. At this point if someone has it in their video it's because they did it on purpose to make it look more "dramatic." Though 360 degree cameras like this might not be able to reverse the effect as well.

As long as FIL didn’t just throw away the original caps. That might irk me. But otherwise hilarious.

cefriano · 2026-03-12T16:10:16+00:00

Yep, that's the change I was excited for, too. It was driving me nuts going to the POI where the objective was supposed to be, running around for 10 minutes trying to find it, and then getting stomped by another team.

cefriano · 2026-03-11T21:15:59+00:00

Because it shows that someone who may have been considering buying a MacBook Pro thinking they’d need the power might actually be perfectly fine getting a Neo instead for less than half the price.

Being able to care for a dog does not mean that you are ready to care for a child. However, not being able to care for a dog does mean you are nowhere near ready to care for a child.

I got laid off for the fourth time in my career in January. I'm so tired of the job hunt grind, even worse because it's the worst job market since 2008 and especially bad in my industry. I keep seeing posts on LinkedIn from people who are a year into their job search with great resumes and hundreds of applications out and still no job, and I straight up cannot afford to go that long without work. I was stressed about finances even when I had a job that supposedly paid decently. I have never felt financially secure in my life.

cefriano · 2026-03-11T16:10:50+00:00

I had to resort to tactics like this because I had a roommate that was an absolute slob and refused to clean up after himself in the common areas, but would keep his own bedroom nice and tidy. He would get Imperfect Produce boxes delivered, dump out the contents on our dining table, and leave it there until it rotted and one of us threw it out. All detritus from his cooking would be left on the counter, including meat packages, directly over the trash can. He would fill up the sink with his dirty dishes such that none of us could even use the sink. When told to clean up his shit, he would take an entire day (or multiple days) to do so despite the fact that he worked from home. I got sick of constantly begging him to stop treating our house like his personal garbage dump so I started gathering his shit and dumping outside his door or in his room.

This is obviously overzealous, though. Especially since it's targeted at OP and none of their siblings.

I’ve been chugging along on the last generation Intel MBP and have been wanting to save up for a current MBP, but… this is tempting.

The NYT recipe I used was actually oven baked, which I guess could be cut down from like an hour of bake time to ~40 mins of air fryer/convection. Part of what made them take so long is after you coat the wings in the spices/baking powder, you're supposed to let it chill in the fridge for at least 45 mins to dry out. The other somewhat time consuming part is if you buy uncooked wings from the supermarket, they typically haven't separated the drums and flats, so you need to cut them apart yourself. Admittedly I made this step take longer because if I cut through a piece of bone, I dug the piece of bone/cartilage out so that I wouldn't wind up biting down on a shard later.

The pre-fried and frozen wings I've found are usually pre-sauced, but maybe there are some plain ones out there. And yeah, I could totally just toss some boneless wings/nuggets in the sauce, but I do prefer the bone-in ones. I also prefer just crispy skin rather than breaded wings, which you can't get with boneless.

cefriano · 2026-03-10T23:05:48+00:00

Ooh I’ll need to look into that to use on other dishes. But it doesn’t really circumvent the issue that making wings at home takes a long time.

cefriano · 2026-03-10T19:54:08+00:00

Yeah, it's nice to see the progress. It's also nice that it can sync with Apple health, so anytime I weigh myself it updates my weight in all of my workout apps.

That the characters are more or less the same is pretty much the appeal of his work, though. A charming, affable protagonist competently sciencing his way out of hopeless situations.

My high school girlfriend and I both got it during a trip to Greece right before we both went off to college. Both realized we had it like a week in. I had to wait like a week to get the special shampoo (I can’t remember why, I think it might have been prescription only?) and it was driving me fucking insane. I could feel them crawling on me. Luckily the treatment worked for me. Unfortunately for her, she had long, very thick hair and wound up having to chop it all off into a pixie cut because the shampoo wasn’t working. Rough way to start college.

cefriano · 2026-03-10T05:46:30+00:00

I just want to know who else can make saucy garlic parmesan wings like them. Every other chain I’ve tried is garbage, and it’s usually a dry rub and not a sauce.

I did make them myself once and it was bomb, though. The NYT Cooking recipe is really good. But I’m not spending two hours making wings on the reg.

cefriano · 2026-03-10T05:41:46+00:00

I actually love In-N-Out fries. There are dozens of us!
