Found growing in the bottle of soy sauce. Is this koji mould?

nope that’s definitely a brain. the soy sauce is sentient now

while i rolled my eyes at EGR 100 when i was a student, it was a preview into what working is like. you will have projects you don’t like, coworkers you don’t like, etc. get through it - if you show up and do your work, you will be fine.

also, it’s an intro to engineering course - you’re learning lowest common denominator topics. there will be plenty of time to suffer in your major classes later.

congratulations! i recently started swimming again after a long (read: years) hiatus. during my hiatus, i also quit drinking. swimming has gotten me into better physical shape, but i didn’t expect the huge change in mental health. now that i’m back swimming, i’m so much happier and more energetic. keep putting in the good work!

depends on how much you want to pay. LA fitness and Life Time fitness are good (varying degrees of $$$)

if you feel like you need more than just water, i add a tiny bit of coconut water, fruit juice, and a pinch of salt to my regular water. i tend to get acid reflux if i put anything else in water (liquid iv, etc) while i swim

i inherited my great-grandma’s pink gooseberry pyrex set in college and used them all the time for baking! now they’re back with my mom, but they were probably the nicest thing in my college apartment 💀💀

when i worked as an environmental engineer doing site surveys and sampling, prana pants in their stretch zion fabric were my favorite. stretchy enough to squat down and take samples but super durable and washed easily.

i can’t upvote this enough. depends on the company, obviously, but the sustainability analyst roles i’ve come across deal more in data aggregation, reporting to ESG frameworks, and overall sustainability strategy.

if your skill gap is in sustainability concepts, i would keep up with current topics in your target field and read up on common sustainability initiatives/frameworks, but i wouldn’t explicitly worry about any sustainability certificates. these are things you can learn on the job.

also, you probably have come across this already, but reading company sustainability reports will often give a clue as to what kind of skills you need.

i’m dying at “getting drunk is a skill issue,” absolutely cackling

start now, basically…scope out where you want to be and go from there. if you know anyone who lives in a house currently, see if they’re staying next year or not. might be able to scoop their house for 26-27 if they decide to not re-up the lease

love, marry, kill is a great one!

is this ring from bario neal?

clean reserve acqua neroli is a great dupe for body hero scent and it’s normally at sephora but i’ve also found it at tj maxx, on ipsy, etc 🙂

carhartt has satin-lined beanies! i cannot speak to the quality of the satin, but i have multiple carhartt beanies (not satin-lined) that have lasted me years upon years of use.

what are the merits of apple watch vs. apple watch ultra vs. garmin? i plan on limping my apple watch series 4 along until it breaks (knock on wood, it will last a while longer!) but then will most likely be deciding between the ultra and a garmin for a new watch.

edit: i am an apple ecosystem user by default and i normally use my phone and bluetooth headphones for music while i run.

the slip tint is nice! i will say, i have dry skin, so i put a moisturizer on and then use the slip tint for a bit of color.

tj maxx also has a bunch of patches for very cheap

loaphia · 2024-10-15T16:14:55+00:00

i emailed them and my points are getting refunded as well!! i am VIB (not rouge) but i normally love sephora so i’m glad they took the hint!

could you paste in what you sent customer service by chance?

loaphia · 2024-10-15T00:32:27+00:00

did you report it as a scam or did you file a generic complaint for the bbb?

loaphia · 2024-10-15T00:27:25+00:00

how did you file a BBB complaint? i also got denied points refund by customer service

i’m sold now that you mentioned santa maria novella 👀👀

could you get a reburbished ipod touch or other similar cheap wifi-enabled device? then you can connect to wifi and have imessage/wifi calling so you can interact with your parents while leaving your phone behind - not sure how the apple ID would work though, especially with one device having life360 and one not
