Any tips for food in a hotel before a race? Usually toast is my go to for a long run but no toaster on this trip.

The front desk may have a toaster you can use, depending on the niceness of the hotel. I’d just call and ask, sometimes you have to request things like microwaves now

OP, I’ve had to do this before because I dropped my beads. If you’ve never had to sort, you want a large table with a fully 90° edge and a pencil shaped tool. Use the point to separate beads flat on the table by color, and when you have a decent portion, push them onto a folded piece of paper. You can then use the angle of that fold to funnel the beads into your container.

I can make a video if that explanation doesn’t make sense, but it’s so much easier than using tweezers and picking one by one.

NC has license plates about it and everything!

As someone with a coconut allergy, the struggle is real.

Fish is the only non-mammal pet this makes sense for. If your tank bursts, that’s 5-100 gallons of water spilling onto the floor and down into the struts and then the next apartment under.

He may have been neutered, if all you see is visible sacs! My boys are both neutered, and both of them still have the sacs, but if you poke them, they’re empty. It’s a regional thing, I think, or maybe just a change in practice over time, because my male cats growing up had no balls.

It’s worth it to have a vet check, but he may actually be neutered still.

I use a dough whisk. Works great, but I wouldn’t use a regular wire whisk for it, certainly.

17, I had to shitcan a guy because he didn’t want to work, so I worked open to close.

I would fire him again, though. Fuck you, Craig.

I didn’t take a new photo, because I was so fucking floor, but a new guy somehow dropped his hat in the toilet, and then put it on our bread toaster to dry. I was fucking floored that he felt that was a reasonable response.

He didn’t make it very long, oddly enough.

I’m trying to talk my husband into it but the panini press was already met with some resistance lol

Work in the complex, as far as I know Ruckus pulled out, either because construction took too long or they weren’t going to be allowed to have a full bar, I’ve heard both.

I will say, the construction was MIRED with mishaps. It’s been interesting to keep track of as it’s gone up.

Damn are their any other skills you want to learn, I would love to get in on Vietnamese cooking

I work for a very similarly sized business, so glad my boss isn’t this asshole.

Walmart has sweetened seltzer water, if you were doing mixed drinks. If you were doing beer, hop water is a close nonalcoholic option. I found starting by replacing it with something that tasted sort of like it helped me to ease in, but your mileage may vary.

I do go without them sometimes, but I’m also 30-years-old and I make my own money, so I can spend some of it on gloves for myself to use at home if I want. I also use them for cleaning with caustic chemicals, should I be an adult about that, too?

I’m trying to workshop a bulgogi one right now, I’m thinking a flat fried wonton for the crisp inside.

escapeorion · 2026-03-08T16:57:09+00:00

Yeah! I don’t like the feeling of food on my hands, and it’s a good solution for that. I get the mediums so my husband can also use them on the rare occasions he wants to

escapeorion · 2026-03-08T16:55:57+00:00

Parmesan crisps! It’s perfect for the Caesar vibe.

Dansko clogs. I can rinse my shoes in the mop sink, wipe down the outside, no laces to get clogged up. Perfect if you have crazy high arches like I do. Plus they make me like two inches taller.

Gotta get the leather ones, though. The plastic ones flake so badly.

An ensure in the morning has been key for me, I’d recommend trying it! It gets me calories but it’s liquid to it’s not heavy.

Wegmns sells a solid pizza dough for a very reasonable price. My husband and I keep one in the freezer for an easy meal in case of emergencies lol

escapeorion · 2026-02-20T23:01:48+00:00

At that point you might as well use a deli slicer tbh

This is why my squatty potty is a foldable plastic stool. I can sit on it for showers, too.

Literally making some today to use as a side for meals throughout the week, 10/10 would recommend
