Never take time for granted - expect you’ll have less of it than you want or need.

It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that’s with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?

Plenty of adult jokes and themes that toe the line, but subtle enough to go over the head of any kid that doesn’t already get it.

Watched recently with my 8 year old and while it’s certainly still a justifiable classic, there’s still some things that are pretty problematic in this movie that made it a challenging watch with a kid…

Also the dude that wrote the John Dies at the End book series. David Wong.

Yeah, malicious compliance is likely the quickest route to getting things resolved on your terms

Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company’s security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.

It’s honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.

I can relate to not wanting to throw something away if you can just fix it, but I guarantee you will save yourself a lot of time and stress if you just go down to your local thrift shop with a kitchen section and pick one of the dozens of spatulas they will have for like $0.50.

The last thing you want is the mess and possible pain of your repaired spatula breaking under the stress of lifting a hot, oily food from the pan.

There is a light af the end of the tunnel for Joe and the rest of Elan in this story. It’s not a perfect happy ending, but there’s plenty of positive by the end.

YSAK - Very, very, very few of the people complicit in this industry ever had any real consequences for perpetuating a system of child abuse that lead to the destruction of so many lives going back to at least the late 60’s. Most of these monsters simply moved on to other things after their institutions were finally shut down.

Some were even publicly lauded by their communities and powerful leaders for their “contributions” to society.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned having and caring for many cats over the last 30 years, they’ve all got their quirks. Some were over eaters that would throw up almost daily. Some would be grazers and do just fine with their bowls full all day and night. No answer is going to be just right for every cat.

If you have cats that eat at different paces, you might just have to feed them on a schedule in separate locations. That was the only way we could handle it when we had the same situation.

Also should be noted, if you took that 1 mil and just put it in a bunch of high-interest savings accounts, you’d be averaging a little over $3k/month just in the interest earned.

It does make me wonder, at what point is the guaranteed $x a month a better call than one lump 1 mil?

I am a lazy launderer and my partner has loads of clothes of various fabrics.

My trick that has never let me down:

wash everything on cold

When rotating to the dryer, indiscriminately pick out any tops that don’t feel like regular “t shirt” fabric, pick out all bottoms that aren’t obviously cotton, pick out all wool, pick out all dresses, button up shirts, skirts, or “full body” garments as regardless of what fabric they feel like they tend to be more sensitive to the heat.

The rest can go in the dryer, but hang dry all the stuff you picked out.

I might end up hang drying more than I need to, but it beats the hell out of checking the tag on every individual garment.

Try tempura if you find yourself at a sushi place. You’ll probably like it

This is just normal Chicago driving lol

I thought this was just a Big Mouth joke why is this a real thing

My current and previous jobs provided macbooks for “security” and the one with my last job would not charge on the right USB ports. I assumed this was just expected, like only one side was actually hooked up to the battery while the other was just for data transfer.

Shit, my bad. Just fixed it
