Not a dad, but definitely team DeWalt.

Had to walk to school, uphill both ways in -40C everyday, all year. Things were better back then.

There was an interesting CBC podcast called Fridge Light, and in one episode the host followed people who had their recipes accepted for commercial sale. Apparently, a big issue is making those recipes generic enough so that they are acceptable to the widest range of consumers. This often means toning down the flavors. So for example, a spicy recipe gets dialed back to the point that even people who find yogurt offensively spicy can eat it. Basically, they bland everything down. There’s other factors as well, like the taste from the can, etc.

Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats parrots, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?”

She has a ton of overtime hours from her job. She hasn’t had to use her banked vacation time in years. I only get 3 weeks and if I accumulate more they start trying to force you to use it. My family/friends live across the country and I just went to see them recently, so I don’t have the vacation time to travel. It’s not malicious on her part, she just loves to travel and I just can’t go this trip. More jealous that I’m stuck not going, but I don’t mind the alone time.

Lost my grandmother a few days prior, got bumped out of my shitty job to a lower paying even shittier job, and have to pass on a good job opportunity bc it would mean a big move and my partner refuses to move with me. And shes going traveling for 1.5 months on vacation right away without me. We have a house together and have been together for almost 14 yrs.

There was a Donner… but then there was a very unfortunate party.

That’s pretty much how my wife and I ended up together. I studied amphibians, she likes amphibians, Yada Yada Yada, married.

Is failing the second step?

Ooooooo there’s more steps?!? To more things?!? Doing nothing seems like alot of work. I give up. I’m going to go do something less hard.

Edit: grammer.

That’s Coke brand flour. No responsible AI image generator would let you show spider-man sniff a pile of cocaine.

To be fair, I asked it to make it Coke brand flour. It came up with Coci-Cola all on its own.

Safety feature. In case of an emergency you can zip their lips.

Yeah, he cut holes in their throats so food would fall out and added additional holes along the digestive tract to collect various “gastric juices”. He also, apparently, started a business harvesting and selling said juices as a cure for indigestion… not sure how that worked, seems like it would cause more than it cured.
