Does China use a compatible electrical system to us?

I plan on convincing my mom to leave my dad. Sadly, 6 isn’t young enough to prevent him from ruining her life, though. But at least she’ll get out earlier, and also I can hopefully prevent her from having a surgery that completely changed her life for the worse.

I’ve been considering it more and more. There’s a gym nearish with a pool, and I’m a very strong swimmer, and it’s one of the few exercises that isn’t physically painful because of my bad back and feet. But for real, I know no one is actually making fun of me or other heavy people in that environment. It’s more my own brain narrating the worst possible opinions and applying them to everyone I meet. Which, funnily enough, is me doing to everyone else what I fear they are doing to me: being unkind.

I never said i got these temperatures. I just said I’m uncomfortable otherwise.

It do. Most of the people I meet are no where near as interesting as opossums.

No, no, you did it correctly. Good job.

Originally sociology, because I wanted to go for religious studies but it wasn’t offered. I switched over to creative writing a few months ago, because I enjoy storytelling and have been told I’m good at it. My plan is to teach English as a second language, so I need a BA, any BA, to do that. I’m lucky that I’m not stuck into a particular degree path, and I get to do something I enjoy in that way.

Have you graduated? What did you go for?

Read the rubric! I’m at SNHU, so ymmv at other schools, but read the rubric. They grade to that, and it doesn’t matter how exceptional your work is, if it doesn’t meet the rubric, you’re boned. If it’s mediocre and meets the rubric, it’s at least a passing grade. Other than that, utilize any extras your school offers. Snhu offers tutoring, both schedules and drop in, writing labs, all kind of academic help. If you’re ever struggling, call your advisor and let them know. They can suggest things to help, or potentially even get you withdrawn from a class you know you won’t pass.

Do you plan on going in person or online?

Oh, completely agree. It’s ridiculous for people to fear that reaction, and ridiculous for people to assume something based on a compliment. But it’s one of those things that isn’t going to change until we all just say fuck it and change it. I’m rooting for gen z to do this. Lol.

I can’t remember who did it, but there’s a YouTuber who always clearifies his phones when he gets a new one by removing the back and putting a gorilla glass back on it. Haven’t seen his videos in a while, I don’t think, but he has several iirc.

I am so fucking jealous. I want!

Honestly, all the ships we see in the future are awesome. I really like Booker’s ship, too.

God I hope so, on both counts.

Though, in true Watch The Irishman Suffer fashion, maybe Miles get forcibly ripped from family and brought to the future with no way to return.

When in need, find a Trekkie. Lol

[Request] How to get a tiny multitool past airport security?

First off: This post is about a tiny Leatherman multitool. Not a gun, not a sword, not something that can actually hurt someone. Just a small, harmless tool that is unfairly banned from planes because of onerous TSA regs. No one is going to do 9/11 with tiny pliers and a fingernail-sized screwdriver....

They just said they didn’t want to check a bag, though. :/

DharmaCurious,
@DharmaCurious@startrek.website avatar

No advice for you, I’ve only flown twice. :/ but they really should have, like, a lock box in the cabin that flight attendants can put all personal items in. That way of you’re just traveling with a carry on, you don’t have to choose between bringing an entire bag to check, or just foregoing some small item. Then, no danger, and you don’t have to check a bag. Just give whatever small item it is to flight crew, they keep it in the cabin until you’re disembarking.

Does Anyone Have a TIFU Moment When Cooking?

I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from...

Decided to make fried chicken. We rarely ever eat fried foods, and so I don’t have fancy things like deep fryers. What I had was a large cast aluminum pot.

Filled it about half way with oil, made amazing delicious fried chicken.

I also don’t have a stop top. Use a single eye burner. Needed the burner for something else, so sat the pot on the counter next to the sink.

Moved wrong, knocked the pot into the sink. Boiling oil goes down the drain.

Know what’s at the bottom of the drain? A trap full of water.

Water met boiling oil as I matrix dodged our of the way and a geysey worthy of yellow stone came flying out of the sink, both sides, shooting boiling oil and steam everywhere. Covering the ceiling, the walls, the floor. Even the dog got hit (thank God for long, thick fur!). I had splatter burns on my legs, which was the only part of me not under the counter when it landed. It came up with so much force it threw the pot out of the sink.
