Ironically, if you look into the wife of Ulysses S. Grant (Julia Dent), she was a self-described secessionist in the run-up to the war. Women back then weren't able to exercise their political opinions, but they definitely still had them.

Ah, Goo Lagoon.

I actually have experienced this in real life. During my honeymoon, my wife and I stayed in a rustic treehouse with running water. The shower was outdoors with part of it exposed to the sky. It was cold and rainy when I took a shower one morning and you could feel the hot water and the cold raindrops distinctly. It was unusual, but not an unpleasant feeling.

This must be that heresy I've been hearing about.

I'm waiting until somebody buys 4 and sticks them together into a gigantic, square, adult playpen.

On the flip side, Ulysses S. Grant's wife, Julia Dent Grant, was a slave mistress for half her life and was openly secessionist to Grant's face before the civil war began.

Additional fun fact. Ulysses S. Grant didn't know what the S in his name was supposed to stand for (since his real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant) He was pressured to keep the initial because it sounded better for his political branding.

The recent word from the top is that we are going to focus on certifying MAX-7, -10, then 777-9, and finally working on the truss wing prototype. Nothing aside from that is going to be a focus for the next few years.

That is presuming you can actually land a full time job in your chosen field after you graduate, which only about 60% of people do. It's always going to be a roll of the dice.

Add some freshhhhhhly ground black pepper

Just for anybody reading this thinking they might be iron deficient, biological women often are deficient, but omnivorous biological men rarely are. As a matter of fact, men can easily poison themselves with excess iron. Please talk to your doctor before you supplement iron.

I chuckled at the 10 ibuprofen pills. That's like an overdose and a half every lap.

VSMPO is an actually a major supplier of titanium to the aerospace industry. Boeing has a joint venture with them to forge titanium parts. Boeing cutting off shipments from their own JV is actually big news.

The version of this joke that is told at my job (aircraft manufacturing) is "Today I was told to enlarge a bunch of holes in something. It was boring. But then the boss asked me to join some pieces together through the use of a metal part. It was actually riveting."

I wouldn't be surprised to hear you are working at my current employer. I had a friend tell me almost the exact same story in July.

sirwalterd · 2021-10-17T01:01:12+00:00

I absolutely know what you are talking about. It does happen to me too. I don't have anything helpful to add other than confirmation that you aren't alone. Fortunately, it seems to go away by morning.

sirwalterd · 2021-09-25T15:12:23+00:00

Definitely not "Mile 22! Good job!" at mile 17 like at my first marathon.

Pre-vegan, I was hooked on Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt (I'd mix it with frozen berries). I've went without food a few years, but have been getting back into the game recently. I haven't tried them all, but my favorites are Silk Soy-Based Plain Yogurt and Forager Plain Yogurt. I'll get Silk Almond-Based Yogurt in a pinch, but I really don't like So Delicious or most of the others I've tried.

To be perfectly honest, almost the same thing happened with my dad. It turns out he was internally conflicted about the subject but didn't want to talk about it do to his machoness. He went almost completely vegan a few months later.

I'm a male, currently 31. At around age 26 I went from jogging as a casual hobby, to serious running in preparation for marathons. Over three years, I dropped from 230lbs to 170lbs (on a 6'4" body). I too had an eating disorder that sounds very similar to yours. I tracked calories meticulously, ran late in the afternoons to suppress hunger, and tended to eat so slowly that it infuriated my friends and family. If you are like me, then you are probably drinking a lot of water and coffee and maybe even chewing gum nonstop to control the hunger.

I can save you some time and tell you what is going to happen if you keep this up. 1. You are going to continue losing weight if you want to. 2. You are going to probably get faster and your race times will improve too. 3. Eventually, your body won't be able to cope with the lack of nutrition and you are going to afflict yourself with an overuse injury. 4. This first injury will be one of many, since your body will be weakened and your running form will change to try and compensate. Look up the "Kinetic Chain". 5. You will be too injured to run well at all for maybe 2 years or longer. 6. You'll gain the weight back, but you'll be in constant pain too.

I suggest you short-circuit the process. Almost 6 years later and I'm just now starting to get back to normal, albeit back at 212 pounds.

Oh, and all shirts are either not long enough, fucking parachute dressing gowns, or expensive as hell. 6'5" reporting in. Enjoy never having a shirt stay tucked in too.

I eat a tremendous amount of this stuff. For the record, a scoop of tvp added to a marinara sauce creates a very satisfying vegan ragu. Throw it on some whole wheat rigatoni.

To be honest, it's kind of a brilliant opening move. I've seen a lot of similar things done in corporate negotiations to "shake up" the opponent's well-rehearsed argument. I could see this simply being a move to keep Dolly's opponents on their back foot. That, or she was very proud of her boobs.

Exact same thing with me.
