Sure would have been nice to know this when my house got invested with fleas. No need to flea bomb, I just needed to wash my hands!

(got a pup from a household with inadequate flea control measures–they’d give him a flea bath weekly, but never treated the environment or their cats. They swore up and down he didn’t have fleas.)

I was thinking a hotel key card for a hotel that’s nowhere nearby.

Could have been. AI was trained on works written before AI was released.

lol. I hope you’re well-hydrated and awake now :)

It’s a live corgi laying/loafing on a stool, not taxidermy.

I don’t think I’m trying to over stock. It’s things like buying more pasta when we’re down to 5 boxes instead of 0. We go through it, we just disagree on how much we should keep on hand.

So far, the trick has been to keep the backlog out of sight and refill the main cupboard as needed. Like, he knows I keep extra, but he doesn’t look for himself because it’s in the low-down awkward corner cupboard.

I guess I’d rather stress-buy pasta than gacha toys or another multitool or something, and I’m stressed for various reasons my therapist knows about.

I’m still in the “mark expiration year in big marker” stage of rotating food, but that’s been easy enough to keep up with.

Sadly, my condo doesn’t allow vegetable gardens on our porch because of the real threat of visiting bears. I sneak in some herbs because they’re not vegetables, but the HOA can be persnickety.

Lay in a hot bath with a cold compress on your eyes.

(why, yes, I’m short and keep a stool in the kitchen so I can reach the snacks my boyfriend keeps above the cabinet.)

My partner and I are in conflict about food storage. I buy beans, pasta, and jarred foods when I’m stressed. He doesn’t like sacrificing storage space and I think just sees it as clutter.

Anyways, I’m going to pick up more pasta, pasta sauce, and canned soup. Boxed macaroni and cheese. Stuff I know we’ll cycle through and doesn’t need much effort to cook because I know when things get bad I won’t want to brain much.

Oh! LPT: textured vegetable protein is shelf stable dried soy protein and you can rehydrate it to add a ground beefy texture to things, like macaroni and cheese or pasta sauce.

I remember reading that some folks (actresses, models) would get vaccinated in less conspicuous places, like the inner thigh, but now I can’t find any documentation for it.

Underjoke: the girlfriend is also autistic, and doesn’t make eye contact.

tbh, it probably also benefitted the teacher because they didn’t need to grade as many papers and may have benefitted the other students because they may have gotten more targeted feedback on their homework (because the teacher had more time)

I love nano. I used to do tech support for a Linux-based content management system (before SAaS take took off)… The customer sysadmins were sometimes whichever engineer was volun-told to do it, so competency varied wildly.

I helped mostly with installs. This might be the poor newbie sysadmin’s first time on the command line. Nano was my go-to suggestion for editing config files–all the commands are right there! Much less intimidating than vi or emacs for a newbie.

I get you. The person you responded to talked about “the plastic one” and meant the old style non-milk plastic one, but the milk plastic one is also a “plastic one”. It was a tad unclear.

I don’t know but my brain wants it to be “some bastard”

TIL eating at a soup kitchen (ready to eat hot food) is a luxury.

It was remade into an Android app, too!

There’s some cricket-based dog treats out there. My last pup adored them. Current pup only has eyes for chicken and anything salty (potato chips, tears). I tried them, they tasted fine, for ą dog treat.
