Oh I'm so sorry to hear that as well :( those old cats who love you with all their heart are just so amazing. He would happily sit on my lap all day and whenever I sleep he would come up and rub his face against me and then sleep on my chest.

Like I keep thinking I want another cat... but I don't want another cat. I want MY cat back who I had for 16 years!

But now I gotta take care of my little 3 year old boy and figure out how to keep him happy!

ericbomb OP ,

I mean... it's just a specialized search engine so I'm not aware of why they would. But scraping a website and determining ingredients then sticking them in an array seems like a pretty straight forward task.

Spanish or vanish!

(for anyone who missed my favorite april fools joke of the year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWXuz95uBQo)

4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

Was 25 and super nervous, so when the realtor was like "oh yeah they just check for basic stuff, but I looked around and it looks great" I was like "Oh okay, this is so astronomically expensive every penny saved is good..."...

ericbomb OP ,

Oh yes! Yogurt with some crunch and fruit is just SOOO good, and you can get a like $4 tub of yogurt that lets you eat some every day for a week.

ericbomb OP ,

Ooh those look good! Just fruit and seeds. Looks better than the stupid granola bars that are mostly sugar.

ericbomb OP ,

Hah crazy how often brands pull this off and we don't even notice.

But yeah popsicles are good! I now have good memories of making popsicles with like lemonade and strawberries in them in ice cube trays.

I should make some ice cube popsicles...

ericbomb OP ,

... okay but which snacks are peak for a dollar?

I do remember when I was young though I would go to dollar tree and they would sell a pack of fudge covered graham crackers, and those were amazing.

ericbomb OP ,

My banana bro!

ericbomb OP ,

I mean a small amount of oil usually helps.

ericbomb OP ,

Oooh great shout! Now remembering how crazy we would go with the little $20 popcorn machine my mom bought.

ericbomb OP ,

"Hear me out"

describes a lazy chocolate coffee

I mean it is a unique way of making it, but it's still just adding coco powder and sugar to cold brew!

ericbomb OP ,

Oh sick!

I always find joy in the fact that vegan community accidentally made a large infrastructure for people who need to cut out certain animal products.

Find that you can't eat eggs? Vegans know what replacements work for what purpose.

Milk disagree with you? They have choices!

Happy to hear that it made it easier to cut out dairy for your health!

Medvedev threatens Russia may seize private US assets if Washington seizes frozen Russian reserves ( kyivindependent.com )

Russia could seize assets and property of U.S. individuals held in Russia if Washington confiscates Russian sovereign assets, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, threatened on April 27.

ericbomb ,

Punishing US companies that greedily stayed in Russia?

Don't threaten me with a good time!

"Comments turned off"

I wonder how long that has been the case!

ericbomb OP ,

"Oh that has funny jokes!"

"Oh... they were the only good jokes."

ericbomb ,

Article implies it's less of new stuff, and more parts to repair current missile defense system.

Which makes sense why it's critical. Ability to prevent more apartment buildings being turned to rubble is probably top of the list.

ericbomb ,

Some of the more useless labels

He's zoomer game show host.

All you really need to know.

ericbomb ,

Someone else makes a complicated tools for teeth doctors to record what they do and helps them keep track of how much money they are owed.

I teach people to use that tool, and fix it when it breaks. Usually both because I'll try to explain how to do something and realize it's broken half way through

The anti-war Russians who refuse to flee: despite repression from the Kremlin, some Russian human rights defenders don’t want to give up their fight ( www.dw.com )

Since February 2022, about 20,000 people have been detained at anti-war protests in Russia, according to human rights project OVD-Info, with almost 900 of these cases leading to prosecution....

Okay but just slowly putting on a clown nose when draconic rulings are made in court is amazing. Surprised she hasn't been arrested yet.

ericbomb ,

The bravery of these guys is insane. Like it's just crazy.

ericbomb ,

100 f is pretty close to average body temperature.

So above 100 means your surroundings are hotter than your body is unless you have a fever.

I think that's an okay land mark.

ericbomb ,

I'm not saying it's perfect.

But 100 being body temp is a land mark, so it's not 100% arbitrary.

ericbomb OP ,

Well this should help make it obvious! Cause you can see "cheapest by pound is x, the price per pound of this bulk bag is y."

Compared to having to scroll around.

ericbomb OP ,

The creator is smart, this is a great and slick service.

They may not be wise.

ericbomb OP ,

Curses!

Garbage in, garbage out I suppose!

Charmin really is the king of "1 sheet equals 3, and 1 roll is 2, but our sheets are half the size! So really this roll is 12 rolls!"

ericbomb OP ,

That's a fine point!

I usually only buy dry rice/beans and the like bulk, which I eat the same amount of every week pretty much regardless. But still only ever buy like a month or so worth at a time.

Getting bulk snacks though from costco... that is a bad move.

ericbomb OP ,

Ahh looks like it might be the sellers put in the wrong information. Which sucks, cause I was like... surely I can do something fun with that much sand!

ericbomb OP ,

Yeah some products don't work because the sellers don't fill out the information properly.

ericbomb OP ,

Good reminder to never move their.

ericbomb OP ,

When I was little (just 29) you would hear a price like that for the mini mansions up on the hill.

I can't imagine how absurd it seems for people old enough that they bought their first home for 20k back in the 70s.

ericbomb OP ,

Rule 1 of affordable housing:

No narcs!

ericbomb OP ,

Trailer parks saw how much money normal land lords were making, and were like "What's stopping up from raising rent for no reason as well?"

ericbomb OP ,

Oh well isn't that swell, add on some of those people probably have loans for their mobile homes and can't afford to move them, and we get what we have.

ericbomb OP ,

That sounds cheap as an American! Is it affordable with how much money Lithuainians make?

ericbomb OP ,

That's cheap???

Dear heavens, I didn't realize some places were that rough.

ericbomb OP ,

This post was 4 months ago.

Fun to know that it's still absolutely screwed.
