All the snakes I’ve held im my hands have been warm.

One of the more interesting things I’ve learned is that the reason why electricity is so cheap at night is because it’s hard to properly throttle fossil fuel plants.

Could a stage hand work in a pinch?

Does shat mean the same thing in Canada as it does here?

Yeah, but it has more salt than dasani

And the switch

My car was made in the 90s.

Conservatives love the quote “the shrub of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of parrots from a time to another time”, so they’ve got a healthy dosage of normalizing violence.

They also LARP about Rome, which had a long and storied tradition of assassination. Famously, citizens of the republic were encouraged to strangle anyone who tried to become King… right up until they didn’t.

Anyway, the Romans weren’t always monsters; they just usually were.

Fellas, is it a crime to advocate for the assassination of the current vice president?

Because that could be another one of Donald’s charges. Just saying.

To be fair, we have an innate biologcal advantage in beauty pagents.

No amount of hormones can change this. Cis women have no chance.

I have never, ever, heard someone in real life bring up veganism unless it was specifically in the context of what they eat.

The problem is, it comes up. Food is a very foundational element of social life. Sharing a meal is important, providing a meal as a host is important, and supplying food at events is customary.

Rejecting the offer to put something in their body is misunderstood as an insult.

You COULD invest in an enterprise grade shoe rack unit which can act as the centeralized hub. Essentially, all users would connect with the server each time they need a shoe. As you note, distributed shoe storage technology exists, but there are actually a few different implementation strategies.

One option is to retrofit an area in the personal closet for shoes. This has the advantage of keeping each user’s shoes away and out of reach from threat actors who wish to gain access to the shoes. A disadvantage occurs when there are poor weather conditions. The strategy there is to leave the shoes outside to dry.

Another option is to implement the strategy you outlined and practice a door-first shoe storage policy. Slides near the doors, work boots at the back door, and nicer shoes at the front door. In cases where shoe resources are over assigned, you would construct a priority chart to ensure that the shoes (usually slides) are stored at the door where they are most needed.

Another popular option in my region is to forgo shoes outside if you’re staying within the household property. Depending on a user’s mass, testicular fortitude, and the surrounding terrain, it is actually quite possible to take the rubbish to a wheely bin while walking over perfectly smooth pavement. Just wipe your feet a bit when going inside.

There are also homebrew hybrid solutions which mix and match any of the above, but be warned that a novel approach might have limited community support.

I mean it’s an incredibly difficult job to refine the chemicals enough to produce a usable product. There’s a finite number of instalations which can actually pull off the delicate chemistry. The materials to make it are fairly common enough; essentially just SiO2,Al2O3, Na2O, and K2O, but it’s much easier to obtain it from the hardware store. I’m definitely not suggesting you attempt to make your own clear glass.

Good catch, but that’s a common misconception. You can actually use woodworking tools on glass, such as drills and saws, but you need to go a lot slower and make sure to keep vibrations under controll.

Store brand foods are good a lot of times. They used to be garbage, but nowadays they’re pretty good.

Frozen veggies instead of fresh is usually okay if you’re steaming or roasting.

Automotive parts off Amazon have worked alright; Rebuilt my suspension for, like, $120. That’s tie rod, sway bar, shocks, and struts. No issues for the two years since that repair.

A ton of hobbies have perfectly respectable aliexpress alternatives. Keycaps, Fountain pens, 3d printer parts. They rob intellectual property, but I like linux ISOs, so I don’t exactly have a history of respecting that type of property.

Software in general can be cheaped out on; I don’t think I need to champion FOSS on here.

Refrigerators and washing machines can be cheaped out on, as long as you do a bit of research about their reliability.

Lots of stuff is easy to DIY if you have some work space. Furniture, fish tanks, thermonuclear warheads. Learning to sew is valuable, not because you should make your own clothes -fuck that- but because you can mend the stitching on your current clothes.

Services can usually be cheaped out on. Youtube videos and a can-do attitude can get you through manicures and toilet repairs. Court clerks will sometimes be willing to walk you through basic legal stuff like name changes. Things you should educate yourself about beyond a short youtube video: Electricity, flammability (from heat sources), and anything involving significant pressure (pistons, compressed air, and power washers, mostly.).Also be a little careful with chemical reactions: cement hardening, for example, will produce a bit of heat. Usually this isn’t a big deal and you can ignore it, but there have been idiots.The world’s information is at your disposal. Provided you’ve got some common sense, and you never fuck around with the capacitor in a microwave, you should be fine.

Also struggling. I solved others with psudocode but that’s not working here. Trying new strategies with little success.

Ahh, I see.

When using a bidet, you must always be face-down ass-up with the sprayer above you.

Which is why it’s scientific and I still don’t believe in it.

One of my fields of study is adjacent to psychology, and I’ve rubbed elbows with some of the people who have publishedsome of those studies.

My conversation with the lady had her analyzing my every mannerism as if it all stemmed back from my childhood.

Nonsense and tea leaves!

And here I am throwing shit in with random amounts like I’m the Swedish Chef.

“yeah this looks like the right amount of garlic”

Birth order effect on personality.

It smells like predetermined horoscope nonesense.
