Thanks crossword puzzles!

These come up pretty often for some reason.

Epee, Oreo, era, isle, ore... Lol

xpinchx ,

Yeah crazy my parents never caught on b

If you look at the source (link on the right edge) it's a page with religious ramblings on how this disproves evolution because our nervous system is set up like a computer or microchip. Bibles quotes and all.

The chart is a great testament to how complicated our biology is and not much else.

Also if there's mixed gender they will pollinate and not produce as much quality buds.

It might be worth paying out of pocket for a potential life altering diagnosis. Easier said than done depending on your personal finances.

There are also newer non-stimulant meds if age/heart health is an issue, and some off-label drugs that GP doctors can prescribe that could help as well (Wellbutrin comes to mind).

Good luck out there 🫡

Lisan al gaib!

They like to live in piles of dead leaves. Between suburban neighborhoods having landscapers haul away yard waste and using pesticides to keep those lawns perfect, they have nowhere to live.

If you go to rural areas they're still around.

Billy strings is hella talented.

It's somewhere on the bluegrass<>country spectrum I wouldn't really call it country music.

xpinchx ,

Technically true but nowadays someone will say they like or don't like country it could mean almost anything lol. But when it comes up I presume modern pop country.

xpinchx ,

Yeah whatever surface it's on, it's slightly elevated. It's a big bird but there's some optical illusion going on.

xpinchx ,

She's rocking it.

I'm a tall guy and when I was single I would joke about that with tall ladies and say if we went out you could wear whatever heels you want. It's cheesy but 3 for 3.

xpinchx ,

Billionaires: ok no more minimum wage then. /s kinda

xpinchx ,

Oh shit I didn't think about that, that's fucked.

Imagine the person you spent your entire life with just dies and they're still attached to you. And you know it's only a matter of time until you're up next - sepsis, embolism, organ failure... What a nightmare.

xpinchx ,

Poor wolf :( they look and act so much like dogs who could do that?

xpinchx ,

Ya I paid $100 in gas and $100 for a camp site on someone's private land (same place I camped in 2017). Well worth it tho.

xpinchx , (edited )

I just watched a video about Utah and apparently Mormons are pretty tolerant of just about everyone and even though it's a red state they're pretty progressive on social issues.

Take with a grain of salt, my source is a YouTube video.

Edit: I was misinformed lmao

xpinchx ,

Yeah that's it lol.

xpinchx ,

To be fair I watched it at a taco bell on my lunch break

xpinchx ,

It's always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.

xpinchx ,

"As per my last e-mail..."

Regretfully yours,
xpinchx

xpinchx ,

Yep. Anyone reading this that was planning on driving home right after - do yourself a favor and find a place nearby to stay the night.

Last time my 4 hour drive out was 17 hours back home. Gas stations out of gas, no bathrooms, bumper to bumper the whole way.

xpinchx ,

I fucking hate this, and I moved so now my doctor is 30 minutes away. I could find a new doctor but, you know... adhd

xpinchx ,

I'm 37 and can barely read cursive, I hate it. I learned it in primary school, never used it, and here I am.

I play DnD and one of our campaigns got so confusing so our DM made a huuuuge flow chart explaining the story, consequences of our actions, where we can go next, etc. It's all in fucking cursive and I couldn't read any of it so I continue to be confused :)

xpinchx ,

That's just the way of life I think, not everyone needs or wants help - like you pointed out a lot of this is linked to addiction and mental health. But as long as everyone can access help when they're ready your government seems to be doing as much as they can right now. More than most countries including the US.

xpinchx ,

Sounds nice in theory, but keep in mind salaried includes mid level store management that works 50-60 hours/week. Their hourly rate is basically the same as entry level cashiers.

My wife is a top performer in her district and got like $2k it's not a glamorous C-suite bonus. With 80 reports that'd be $25/person vs a lifeline towards student loans, rent, etc.

That said, she regularly buys things for her team when they go above and beyond, but on company dime. Remember that Corporate Target could easily pay for hourly TM bonuses with "soaring profits" but instead cuts payroll hours to appease shareholders. They're the enemy, not frontline managers dealing with shitty customers every day.

xpinchx ,

It's not her responsibility to cut her own pay to pay her team. I get your sentiment but your solution feels a little misguided. Target is more than capable of compensating everyone if they're making record profits but they choose not to.

Starting salary for my wife's position is $55-60k and she's one level below store directors that make $100k+. Again, she works 50+ hours not by choice, that's the minimum set by the company. She's not the enemy, Target is.

xpinchx ,

Bonuses are tied into compensation. With your logic anyone making more than entry level employees should redistribute their paychecks, which doesn't help anything.

Again, I want to separate C-suite bonuses vs front line manager bonuses. If you're not an executive your bonus is part of your compensation and nowadays is a way for a corporation to withhold pay if performance KPIs aren't hit or the company doesn't do well. It's not "extra pay", it's a contingent part of your salary.

I miss that about college, 24 hour library filled with people. You have to be quiet on the main floors but upstairs was less strict.

The routine of get a coffee, study for a while, go pee and step outside with some friends for a smoke, and grab another coffee on the way in. Rinse and repeat until the sun comes up.

xpinchx ,

Yeah the upper floors are supposed to be for quiet study but you could still collaborate and talk without being hushed, just can't get too roudy. Michigan State btw.

xpinchx ,

It's a one time use prop, the rest of the graphics really aren't that bad. the game actually aged really well.

xpinchx ,

I still get ads on my TV unfortunately.

xpinchx ,

I don't fly a lot, but that's also its main use. I'm on a trip right now, I bought Pokemon just for this trip :)

xpinchx ,

If you had to choose one historical figure to lead the world, who would you choose?

xpinchx ,

:)

xpinchx ,

So random, I just had a YouTube recommendation of stannis correcting Arya's grammar.

xpinchx ,

They didn't leave, go visit a graveyard and look at the dates.

My wife's dad died in 2019 and they got him a nice plot that was pretty secluded. The cemetery filled up and all the graves around him are 2020-2022, COVID killed a lot of people 🥲
