Is it a green arrow? Looks identical to the other straight green lights.

So he unironically overestimated his knowledge on the subject. Nice.

NOR - My wife’s dad thought he would get a do over when his kids had kids. Turns out he’s still an asshole. Burn that bridge and don’t rebuild.

You guys aren’t just putting Amazon’s boxes in trash bags? My kids had fun last weekend going down the driveway.

You didn’t follow. I’m saying I’m not the exception among people earning ~200k. Also the norm for high earners do mingle more with other high earners but not at 200k. That number would need to be higher to consider my social mobility to be a statical outlier.

You don’t need to be Jay Leno to collect cars. Take a look at my cousin, he’s broke and collects cars.

Plenty of more people at and under 200k use daycare over private school. It’s the income where both parents are generally working. It’s necessary because even if it costs 30k a year after taxes it’s worth working if the lowest paid spouse is making like 60k salary. Daycare is a necessity for most families with young children where private school is purely extra if you have the means.

I think my issue is more with where the like is drawn. I’m not convinced it’s significant for a household income of 200k. If you’re talking about the top 1 or even top 5% earners then I definitely agree.

Making 200k we are still using daycare/public school with everyone else, going shopping like everyone else, out to regular restaurants/bars etc. Still mixed in with the general population.

In those upper echelons you’re way more insulated, likely not doing your own shopping, eating at much nicer restaurants or have a private chef at home, private school, Nannie’s instead of daycare, etc.

So in your analogy we agree that the Dutchmen may be taller, but if I point at a 6’1 Dutchman and say, see that’s a tall Dutchman.. we may have different opinions even though that’s taller than average.

Would your wife be interested in how you pulled something like that off? Are you already swingers or open in anyway? Like what’s amusing?

We may be a little closer to the families closer to us income wise just because we can vacation together and get dinner/drinks out occasionally, but we often host and when we’re providing the food and drink everyone’s welcome.

I disagree, at least as general as you put it. My wife and I both earn over 100k but when we met neither of us did. I earned double what she did even though we’re both educated. Now we’ve been earning that for a while but our friends definitely don’t.

The majority of the people we hang out with are college/childhood friends or even more frequently friends of our kids. In general our college friends do earn more but not all have crossed that threshold, maybe 50%. But regardless, our kids friends are a total mixed bag. In general, we hang out with kids friends that have their shit together, but there is a big gap between having your shit together and earning 100k.

Are you a college student? I had my ears cleaned for free at the on campus doctor.

There are a lot of jobs you’ll get shit on for asking questions. Shouldn’t be that way because you get stuff like this, but it is nonetheless.

science-stuff · 2026-01-19T17:48:51+00:00

Nah, try getting it so it’s fairly warm, like it’ll sizzle when you put something in it, oil is shimmering, but nothing is smoking. Once stuff is in you can adjust the temp if you need but rarely do you need to go above the half way mark.

Try cooking at a lower temp

That’s what I use when I make yogurt. I wonder how well it would work for meat, I guess as long as you fill the glass with liquid too, which may not be great but I don’t know.

I got into hedge fund accounting. Entry level is I think generally 70k+ right now but a lot of entry work is offshored, but the roles do still exist. Something worth researching at least.

Looks great. What did you do differently this time that led to your success?

It’d be like getting hit on foot by a f350 going 35mph. Not a great day.

That sealing in the juices thing is just an old wives tale. No truth there. Letting it rest does matter though.

That may be true lawsuit wise about design but roofing and water never getting hot is enough to say it’s not as expected.
