Works that way with pain meds too. Utter bullshit

I would say your best bang for the buck is something concentrated you can add in small amounts, combined with cheap frozen veggies.

Marmite, fish sauce, whatever kind of umami face slapper you prefer, plus a handful of frozen peas will go a long way towards satisfying you rather than just feeding. Gotta go easy on stuff like marmite though, the salt levels combined with the packet can be intense.

But you can grab a bag of peas, plus whatever other veg you like. Split them up into single serving containers of whatever sort you prefer, then just pull them as needed. You gotta make sure that the biggest pieces will be done in the time ramen takes to boil and finish, but that isn’t difficult

They aren’t sterile, and I’ve never actually run into anyone that seemed to think they are.

What they are is clean enough
The paper is rolled up, relatively dry, usually wrapped in a barrier, and isn’t a food product that will draw unusual amounts of pathogen carrying critters. So you end up with something that is cleaner than the things you use it on, akin to rag you pull out of a drawer that you washed weeks ago. Or a dish that’s been sitting in your cabinet for similar periods.

When it comes down to what they’re used for commonly, that’s clean enough. It won’t be bringing pathogens into contact with anything you’ll take inside your body. That’s all that matters.

Mind you, it assumes you’re storing them in a way that keeps junk off of them. But as long as that assumption holds, you can use them as napkins (which are no more sterile), use them to mop up spills (likely cleaner than av actual mop), as a crumb barrier and wrapper for a sandwich, whatever.

There’s really nothing you would be likely to use them for that would be problematic, particularly in an emergency. Better than toilet paper in that regard, as tp is treated to break down easily in water (and the chemicals used to do that stink btw). If you need a wad of something to cram down on a wound to control bleeding, as an example, paper towels would be better than a random shirt you pulled off your body, as it’s going to have lower concentrations of things like staph, yeast, and strep, as well as the numerous other critters that populate our hides even fresh out of a shower.

Not yet, no.

Current state of the art accessible to a customer is way off from that. Exoskeletons are maybe ten to fifteen years out from being something that’s going to be really ready for prime time, as an optimistic guesstimate. But that won’t be personal gear unless you’re very wealthy.

Honestly, because of how much demand there will be in industrial settings, I don’t expect it to reach a level where the average person can just run out and buy one in any of our lifetimes. Maybe a generation after that? Two? But it is possible that it will within that time frame, but I expect they’ll be absurdly expensive if so. Like high end sports car expensive, if you want them to be worth a damn.

Besides, the spare arm idea is limited in use, as others have said, by the ergonomics of it. A robot arm still needs to be securely attached to you, and the rest of your body has to compensate for the weight and motion. Even with super light materials, you won’t get them lighter than your meat arm unless you want them weak

Gotta love a pleasant misunderstanding lol. I’m right there with you :)

I wasn’t attacking you. Sorry if it seemed that way. Was just taking a moment to expand on the idea. I promise, no fuckery or snark, zero intent to imply you would deadname anyone.

Absolutely true.

However, that doesn’t mean you can erase your old name from other people’s minds and mouths.

I still have people that call me by my middle name.

I first started using, and requesting that it be used by others, my first name innnnn… . Fuck. I think it was 86? +/- a year, in that range. So, you know, fictional Gaylord from this urban myth is likely to run into similar, and maybe worse because at least I was using a name I was assigned by my parents, which reduced friction a ton both in the family and at school.

But that was forty fucking years ago, and the majority of my family still use my middle name. There were a couple of classmates that took a year or so to switch, and a couple of assholes that refused to and even tried to weaponize it.

And neither of my names is as culturally awkward as Gaylord.

Folks reading this far that might have someone in their life that wants to be called something other than what you’re used to. Be a bro, give them that respect. They’ll value you for it.

I’m gonna echo some stuff, so be aware.

I think it isn’t just lemmings/lemmites/lemmizens/piefudlians/mbingos. It’s anywhere humans can show support or non support via visible means. Like/dislike, star ratings, whatever. I’ve not seen any more or less butthurt over votes here than reddit. Maybe less in focused communities where folks tend to directly engage more anyway.

But it comes down to feeling disrespected. Talk to folks in meatspace and ask them about this kind of thing, and if they care about those points, that’s what it often is. They feel like some stranger was rude to them.

Secondary to that, there is also he contingent that has an emotional investment when they vote, so they assume the same in others. In other words, they use voting as a dislike button as opposed to a ranking system. So, they think anyone down voting them is just dismissing them via emotional reaction.

Anyway, as long as there’s a sorting method based on votes, it has an effect beyond that, so you kinda have to be careful to keep it in mind. Me? Other than fat thumb mistakes, my down voting is for off topic, non useful, off-vibe, or otherwise ill fitting comments and posts, usually. Low effort comments will get one sometimes, if the post matters.

Up votes are similarly doled out, though I’m not above throwing one purely because I like it.

I always say you take the downs and the ups as they come. Don’t whine about it, don’t pretend ups mean anything about you or even the subject, it’s not like you win anything by virtue of votes. Hell, even mentioning them in a thread should be limited because it derails things more often than not.

I’m with you on sorting by new. It’s not the downside that you see posts in reverse order, so if there’s a dozen posts about the same thing, you won’t know it until after you’ve interacted with the newest, which may not be where the good interactions are. But it’s still better than the artificially placed sorting.

Yeah, that’s the only reason I ever bang OP’s mom

I love dogs. And, I did home health for twenty years, so I was around a lot of them, helped train them, and dealt with the ones that weren’t well trained enough to not sit on your face when you had to lie down to reach under something for the patient.

You bathe enough dogs, and you find out that anal glands exist and need expressing. The rest is just reading lol

Bitches about “overachieving hillbilly’s” but can’t manage to type the correct plural: hillbillies

I mean, can you cook? It isn’t like we’re born knowing how, and the learning curve is real. You eat your own food, presumably. Is it good, or just edible?

That matters because if you seek praise, and you can’t tell if you can cook, chances are high that you can’t.

Being a good cook isn’t about recipes. It’s about practice. Doing things over and over until you don’t have to think about timing or ingredients. In terms of your specific idea, have you mastered that dish well enough that your chicken is juicy, safely cooked, and flavorful? That’s going to be the part anyone judgy is going to be right about if they find fault. If you can’t cook the chicken right, the sauce don’t mean shit.

If you can, then those flavors will absolutely slap yo mama in the face and make her ask for more.

Lasagna is easier. Well, more labor intensive, but easier to not fuck up, depending on the stuff in between the pasta. So if you’re just an okay cook, go with that. It’s just a lot more forgiving when trying to feed someone that’s looking for faults. You can still fuck it up, but as long as you don’t go that far, it’s a very filling, satisfying dish.

Believe it or not, a properly functioning anus and a healthy digestive tract don’t usually have a fecal smell at the anus, even in humans with our giant glutes. It can, but as long as the above caveats are in place, and the human in question is paying attention to their cleanup post dookie, it isn’t poop that you’ll smell if you have to get close. You’ll smell ass but that isn’t the same as poo.

And that’s from someone that did twenty years wiping asses for a living, including having to get very close to said asses on occasion.

A dog? No big glutes. So, unless they have some issue making their poo messy, there won’t be enough clinging onto the anus itself for the smell of poo to be dominant. You can test it. Dogs have no shame most of the time, and will sit on your face with zero warning. Won’t smell of poo as the primary scent. A human nose likely won’t smell it at all.

What you would smell is the musk from their anal glands, plus their own base smell.

A dog would indeed smell some lingering poo smell, if any poo lingered. But it wouldn’t be fresh, steaming poo smell. It would be dry poo smell, which lacks the volatile components that make shit stink as opposed to just smelling strongly the way some things do. It’s like the difference between a compost heap when you just turn it, vs the smell when it’s turned into soil.

Human poo, if dried long enough, just smells like a slightly musky, slightly earthy chunk of something organic. It loses the scatole and indole that make poop smell like shit. And, yes I actually ran into a couple of instances where poop had dried like that on a person. I was fucking furious. But I’ve also done laundry where someone missed a sizable piece and it got dried out in the hamper, and it really isn’t bad smelling. It isn’t even particularly strong, and when I wasn’t smoking, my nose could pick up smells most of my coworkers couldn’t.

Butt! Dogs have different brains than us. Poop smells aren’t inherently bad to them. Ever seen a dog sniffing, and then rolling in, poop? Squirrel, deer, cat, whatever. It’s just an intense thing for them, not one that repulses them.

If you like nazi bars with constant arguments and nastiness, sure.

Absolutely fine, glad it sparked interest :)

Mainly only if you’re into film as a hobby. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff others have said about the story itself make it a good watch overall.

But it’s no better in that regard than any other teen drama movie.

It’s the way it was done that really makes it significant, imo.

Hughes had this really distinct visual style. Bright, vibrant, and kinda larger than life. He used it to take a look at slices of life that were, in the breakfast club, angsty as fuck. Most scenes are vivid, and the drama plays out in that almost candy coated world.

Since the cast was perfect for their roles, something else Hughes was great at imo, they managed to each fulfill their stereotype in a way that pops out of the screen. The very artificialiality of the cinematography and the almost cheesy costuming allows you to skip past a lot of immersion barriers and just enjoy the characters and dialogue.

Hughes was really good at that balance. The Breakfast Club is the best example of his vision. And, because it influenced so many other filmmakers and the industry, it’s an important one to watch from that perspective, even if it isn’t really going to resonate as well with someone born much later. Not that it can’t, or won’t at all, just that the entirety of teen living shifted post internet, and much of the gen Y range falls into that era.

So, yeah, if you’re into film as a hobby or more serious interest, you need to see it, and Ferris Bueler. Maybe throw in uncle buck as well as planes, trains and automobiles. Those two are kind of inverse because they’re built as comedies first, and that makes the vibe of the drama in them work different than his drama first movies (though Bueler may be debated about which it actually was as a base)

Yeah, I ain’t mad at it. Especially with the dubious stuff an exec at mullvad did. Quad9 is my default anyway, but I did use the mullvad dns here and there.

Watch enough tasting history and Townsends, it shows up a lot

What’s funny is that recipe used to also be receipt. The two words were interchangeable for cooking instructions
