Braces on adults are common enough that most people don’t care. There are options like Invisalign, ceramic or clear braces, and lingual braces (brackets behind the teeth) that you can ask about. If you work somewhere with a strict dress code you might want to stick to clear and white colored rubber bands, too. Though outside of that, people still won’t care and colored rubber bands are cute.

Gimme that sodium packet 🤤

Dissatisfaction is a good thing. It’s the fuel that pushes you to do something. Maybe it’s something big like switching careers or cutting ties with toxic relationships, but most often it’s small things like picking up a new hobby, volunteering, or taking a vacation.

Don’t dismiss dissatisfaction. Look into your life and see what you need to change.

I don’t think reshipping in itself is illegal. If you’re buying something illegal in the final country, sure, but there’s a lot of stores that only ship to some countries even though there’s no restrictions on the actual goods.

Dump a cup of white vinegar into the wash, let them soak. Mildew will be gone. Add an extra rinse if it smells of vinegar.

If it’s a big company then keep your ear to the ground, find out if there’s another team or department you’d like to work in, and talk about it with your manager. Be patient. Big companies have a lot of benefits and it might be worth waiting for a position to open up.

If you really want to work somewhere else then apply outside of work hours, don’t just quit. It’s easier to find a job when you already have one.

Bing Dalle3: a child with a backpack giving a bag of food to a homeless person on the sidewalk. the homeless person should have cybernetic implants and look disheveled and downtrodden. setting is the slums of a cyberpunk city with bright signs and advanced technology, hanging wires. a sign advertising “joy” in the background. night scene. gritty, photorealistic style.

Legit though. I got my finger slammed in the car door but luckily it didn’t lock like that. I could see bone. Even theoretical, thinking about the door locking makes me panic a bit.

‘Cute’ is just a positive word saying the outfit’s nice. ‘Sexy’ is the pregnancy of the fashion world. Don’t tell someone they look sexy unless you’re really sure and maybe not even then. Not all women who are sexy are trying to look sexy, and ‘sexy’ means different things to different people.

You didn’t state the problem and I don’t know German, so I’m guessing you’re solving for the time of two trains?

It helps if you organize every problem into 3 steps: 1) what is the given info from the problem? 2) what core equations are we using? 3) how do we use #1 and #2 to solve the problem?

Your notes show these steps but if you can organize it well enough that it’s easy to understand just by looking at the blackboard, that will make everything smoother. Write the given info as bullet points. You’re using S=VT as the core equation, so underline it and write out what each letter stands for. From there, write each step vertically.

Spatchcock that turkey and it’ll bake no problem

I wondered about this but I figured recruiters would assume Google voice numbers were spam/sketchy applicants.

How do you apply to new jobs without giving out your number?

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think I could get him to take part in any kind of therapy but it sounds interesting for myself. Do you have any favorite resources?

My father’s a narcissist and my family waves it away. I’m fine with LC, he’s not, so I guess sooner or later it’ll turn into NC. It’s frustrating. He wants a relationship and says he’s willing to try, but he’s incapable of accepting any reality where he’s done something wrong or hurt someone. I’ve spent years trying to think of the magic words that would fix things but there’s no way around it.

As a person it’s made me more conscious of people’s limits. There’s a will on both sides for us, but we’re each limited in our own ways. I can’t be as tolerant as the rest of my family and he won’t be able to make progress without therapy that he doesn’t even realize he needs.

Bing/Dalle3: Hindu goddess Kali as a construction worker, wearing a hi-vis safety vest, holding power tools, building a skyscraper

Kali or Kalika is a major Hindu goddess associated with time, change, creation, power, destruction and death in Shaktism.

It’s been a while since I saw it, but I remember most people thought something was wrong with the experiment setup or equipment.

Never heard of a banana in a pb&j. Make it pb and nutella w/ banana and I’d be all over that.

Beautiful. What’s the prompt for this art style?
