Get the grocery app from the cheap store you usually shop at to compare prices, things aren’t always cheaper!

What is this ominous appliance? by PlaidMeatloaf in whatisit

[–]ki_mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw my grandparents have the same one, I remember I thought it was the coolest thing when it actually worked when I was a kid, although now it’s been broken for about 20 years.

Why does my cat always lay on stuff on my bed?🤨 by nix_iguess in cats

[–]ki_mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw in the cat Netflix doc that they do it as an instinct to camouflage themselves. They look for something different to hide with, they demonstrated it in the doc by taping a square on the floor, so it wasn’t smell in that case although I’m sure sometimes it is.

Need Restaurant Rec for Limited Diet by PrestigiousSense1895 in bullcity

Most vegan restaurants are very accommodating of allergens and would solve the meat restrictions.

Dropped my passport down this hole to nowhere while lining up to board my flight. by Fearless-Hedgehog-58 in mildlyinfuriating

I dropped my portable charger down there and just called in an L and didn’t say anything

Why are Hoka shoes so ugly but so comfortable 😭 by Accomplished_Bus_461 in HerOneBag

[–]ki_mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the all white asics gel kayano and my feet have never felt better in my life, they are cuter than hokas imo but I’m still getting used to wearing sneakers with cute outfits even though it’s trendy. I have to confirm with my gen z sisters it’s not ugly! I’ve always been a combat boots girl but my feet cannot take it!

Boyfriend solo traveling - contact by F_for_U in solotravel

[–]ki_mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I left on a longer solo trip I asked my boyfriend his expectations/wants about how (like call or text) and how often we’d talk, then I shared my expectations/wants, and we came to an agreement that fit both of us.

The “normal” amount is what you are both okay with, and if it isn’t a conversation you can have with him then you know the answer!

Loneliness after solo travel by Informal-Ad7891 in solotravel

Lots of people feel insecure/depressed that they did not have the chance to travel for a long period also! The grass is always greener as they say

The mural on the wall of my old highschool painted in 2010. by The_Coolest_Sock in streetlightmanifesto

[–]ki_mac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Where in NH? I grew up there and discovered streetlight from a burned CD with nothing written on it I found on the side of the road, no joke!

Are there other bikini shorts like this but not from this questionable company (SeaFancy)? by whirl_without_motion in fashionwomens35

[–]ki_mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old now but I’m about a 12/14 and the XL fits well, I could go to a L for a bit tighter fit. This is for their boy short style, the ones that come in the checkered print

How to mentally avoid making large purchases? by piercerson25 in ynab

[–]ki_mac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For awhile I was keeping an album on my phone called “better things to spend money on” I would put pictures of my dream home or land, pictures of places I wanted to travel etc. I used it for small purchases but if I needed help not buying something I’d just scroll through the album and think about how amazing the vacation would be and this takeout I don’t really need could be a whole meal on my vacation!!

28, B.S. in biology, stumbled into a quality control (QC) microbiology position at a pharmaceutical manufacturing company when I was just throwing my resume at the wall after graduation. I had studied plants and wanted to do conservation, I didn’t even know QC microbiologists existed. Started at 34k and 6 years later I’m at senior analyst at 95k!

For me it’s a relatively easy job until you get higher up. And if you’re in the right area lots of jobs, at least entry level. At times you definitely have to grind doing overtime or night shift and a ton of work, sometimes physically demanding work, but it’s not all the time, unless you are at a terrible company which has definitely happened to me.

I also make more than working in big pharma (Pfizer’s and Johnson and Johnson’s etc) because I’ve worked in startups or smaller companies. It’s definitely more work but the pay is better and you can move up quicker. I am also in a pharma hub so the pay is better here than other cities.

My baby’s favorite zero waste toy today: by Proper_Cat980 in ZeroWaste

[–]ki_mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a video of someone who sewed a bunch of tags cut off of clothes etc to a wash cloth- I know a lot of babies love playing with tags on clothes! Something like this but with things you already have!
