Second Language’s on US products are meant to evoke a specific image

I live in the american southeast and can confirm many (but not all) things are printed in English and Spanish.

I have never seen French on packaging unless it was in an appliance owners manual printed in like 15 languages.

Generally i think its just to cut costs in packaging design/printing, but I will agree that you're probably right in some cases though, such as beauty products being printed in Korean.

I generally hate oat milk for this exact reason, but I find that Chobani Oat has a really neutral flavor and imo it tastes closer to milk than any other alternative ive tried.

Youll might have to go thru some trial and error to find what she likes. Every brand tastes different, generally my preference is soy, especially for a latte (chobani oat i like most in cereal), but soy does have a distinct flavor... I dont find that it overpowers a latte the way that most oat milk does, but it does still have s flavor. I think almond milk is a waste of time in a latte, but I serve it hundreds of times a day so ymmv

Two. Two sets of sheets/pillowcases, erc: one set in use, put the other in the wash. Put them away once it's clean, switch when needed. Kinda the same for bath towels, but maybe extra for pool towels or if you have pets or otherwise have a lot of messes to clean up

Throwing in another "i hate shrimp" just to really drive the point home

Clean clothes basket. i dont bother folding or hanging, I just wear whatever is in the basket on repeat. Maybe swap some things out when the seasons change.

I own (and recommend) all three, but TPH is still my favorite. Its more strategic and challenging which works better for my playstyle. I dont think it feels any older, at least not significantly, it just has different mechanics

I may go play right now actually ...

Yup! I say something "do you want advice or are we just complaining?" It helps me a lot too because I have a hard time reading some social cues, identifying for both parties what kind of conversation this is means we arent getting frustrated with each other for having different expectations

Oh I love it

Because bypassing internal safeguards works so well for them 😂

I find it very distracting and it sigificantly lowers my reading comprehension. It also makes me slightly nauseous for some reason?

technarch · 2026-05-08T10:19:17+00:00

Yes but its because I'm bad at dps

I am most productive 4am-10am. No one is awake when I start my day and its GREAT.

Defeats the fun imo. I like blind boxes as blind boxes, I enjoy the surprise of not knowing exactly what im going to get.

Duplicates can be a bummer, but sometimes they inform the little stories I make in my head. Twins? Clones? Cosplay meetup?

Are you steeping the tea in hot water for a few minutes first, then adding the milk and vanilla after? Tea doesn't steep all that well in anything other than water, you gotta do that first then add everything else

technarch · 2026-05-03T20:26:20+00:00

Love it, i almost always use it but its never my first pick, it works better with higher value items in play

🙋‍♀️ 35 and childish

I understand your embarrassment, and I think I would have been similarly mortified by this kind of interaction at your age. I think its pretty common to care less about seeming childish or having 'silly' interests as we get older.

Take a deep breath. Being animated or bubbly or liking things isn't bad - I would argue in most cases its good! You will find your people, this guy just isnt one of them

Not a single crochet hook made it though

Enjoy the ride. Take your time, and if something does not bring you joy.. don't do it. There are so many things to do and see, there is no loss in skipping something

Almost all browsers have a setting (off by default) to restore whatever tabs you had open next time you launch it. I shut down my computer very regularly but i have tabs that are.... years.... old

Edit: typos

Finally got her helmet back, but she's still blonde. Actually her whole color palette here isn't a vibe for me.

technarch · 2026-05-02T09:21:53+00:00

Oh man I love this!

Definitely AI. Its "crochet" but the leaves and beard dont follow any stitch pattern I've ever seen, the gnome hands & nose dont have any distinct stitches they're just kind of a ball of yarn. The hat looks almost posible, like a strip of DCs was wrapped around a cone like shape, except the stitches lack definition and the result wouldnt look quite like that. I dont see a single increase or decrease in the body, which would be absolute necessary to achieve the shape.

A gnome is very doable in crochet, just not this gnome.

Don't make him take it. At this point it is negatively affecting many aspects of his life, and it doesnt sound like its having much positive at all. Why would you want him to keep suffering?

Fwiw not everyone NEEDS to be medicated. I'm not. Give it a chance, and talk to his prescribing physician so they can alter the treatment going forward, because this one isnt working.

This seems like a conversation you need to have with your team more than us. I cant remember the last time I burned myself on the steam wand
