NavierA local coffee roasters. I get a two pound bag once a month. Saw the guy delivering to the local cafe and looked them up. So good. Each morning before work I do a batch in a stainless steel moka pot, and bring it in a thermos. There just is nothing I like better than that one. “Cafeteria Blend” it’s called.

Two good jobs and digging out from each of us being single parents before we got together but no, we are ok. Can’t retire or anything like that but not one bad month from homeless anymore.

I was even in a position to help a friend with a (no interest) loan when she had a very bad month, it was tight for us but not impossible, and my husband did not get mad or worried at all that I did that, so I would say we are well off?

The overall economy is made up of a lot of data points - we are a little bit worse off than we were in terms of cash flow, but wealthier because we bought a house before (well at the start of) the bubble.

Peaky Blinders, for sure. That soundtrack, wow.

I love Monsoon Wedding, but the music is better than the movie in that one too.

ETA: My husband adds Saturday Night Fever.

That’s a pretty succinct description of AI. We are required to use Copilot at work (not kidding) and I always have to remind myself that AI use language the way demons do in Frieren - they don’t have intent or intelligence really but use it in an approximation of language. It never really means anything.

Not even pathological though - exhaustion will do this. I used to be so tired (life situation exhausting) and more than once got up to pee in the night, sat on the toilet but was not completely convinced I was awake not dreaming so couldn’t pee. Dreams intruding on that barely awake state is, I don’t want to say normal, but not unusual either.

It never happens now I am better rested.

If it’s not irradiated it has eggs, if you don’t use it quickly, parking it in the freezer for a couple weeks kills them.

I know ours isn’t irradiated because I use it for sourdough but use it quickly because sourdough. But back when I didn’t bake much I did have to freeze it, or bugs. Rice too.

See ya later!

Here they are in Walmart groceries, Whole foods, Sprouts, Publix, and outside of a few others, and some of the ice machines around also do filtered water.

It’s just the overly strong glue that bothers me. I want to be able to open the bag without ripping a hole in it. Like having a garment with thread stronger than the fabric, the fabric will tear.

You can, though? There are cheap by the gallon water filter machines in grocery stores. Bring your barrel.

Or a book is a good analogue. I can own a copy of a book, a reprint. It’s mine.

Until cars can talk to each other and all are self driving, I prefer to drive. When they know to cooperate and not crash, self driving cars will be better drivers than people I think.

But mostly I take the electric bike. Like, driving a car is lazy enough, I don’t need the car to drive me.

Rebound?

Like if you have migraine headache, take a preventative but when you miss it the headache comes back worse, that’s a rebound headache.

Nom Nom.

If mine are dirty, dishwasher wouldn’t work anyway. If they aren’t, why are they in there? Dishwasher works great on some things but not others, it won’t remove egg, avocado, and wouldn’t scrub the skillets for me.

I do use Dawn and briefly soak if necessary. Briefly. Most of my pans are older than any of my kids (so over 30 at least) and I’ve had to comprehensively strip and reseason two of them, once each, and reseason all of them when I let my husband wash them before he understood them. I got him a chainmail scrubber and explained no overnight soak and if you don’t want to deal with it throw it in the bottom oven dirty.

They just get so so nice and nonstick when they’re in good shape.

Not a dude, dude. I do love most sensory experiences, no trouble with food or sex or whatever. And I think too spontaneous and disorganized to land in autistic territory.

But even minimally irritating clothing bothers me to probably an unusual degree, yeah. Tags suck. Seams suck. Bras suck. And socks? The technology exists to make them seamless and smooth, thank goodness.

I still cartwheel. One trick pony in that way, I can only do the cartwheel. When kids are doing them I will casually throw one and it always amuses them. I’m near 60.

They don’t take much strength, it’s inertia that carries you over. Hand, hand, foot, foot.

No, I don’t like coke/Pepsi, the sugared ones are too sweet, and my anorexic drink was Crystal Light & Everclear, lol. Which is pretty good. I do like the diet coke but not as a mixer.

It’s the caffeine in the coke propping you up, I think. You are essentially making a speedball.

Having said that - I like a cocktail in the weekend (one double so two of yours not 7, holy shit that is binge drinking and definitely not good if you are prediabetic! I’d be under the table before the last one) and my husband does prefer a couple beers and he is snoring on the couch by the evening, I don’t feel so tired. So maybe you are on to something.

How is whiskey and diet coke? That doesn’t sound very good, though I like each of those separately. Like I think I’d prefer tonic or just fizzy water and lime with whiskey. When you are willing to have fewer come on over to !cocktails@lemmy.world and make something fancy, I’m sure less carbs in one nice drink than 7 shots!

I would enjoy beans & rice for a couple of weeks but not the same version straight through. Would get some tortillas too so some of the days could be burritos.

As a cheap nutrition strategy it’s solid, and I can now buy anything I want at the grocery (budget not good enough to eat out a lot but essentially no limit if I cook from scratch) and still will make beans and rice pretty often, it’s delicious. I got “Good Mother Stollard” beans and they are so delicious I planted some to grow this fall.

OP should just raid the refrigerator & pantry first though, he can probably make it on what’s in there.
