You have a way with words. There’s no way to precisely express the impact of that sound to someone who hasn’t heard it before but you came very close. Beautifully written.

Stick blender! I delayed buying one because I thought the regular blender I had was enough, but this one is so convenient for sauces and soups.

e-reader: another item I delayed buying for too long because I believed paper books were better. I bought a Kobo and ended up reading more often.

Another unrealistic body standard for Hymenoptera.

(The thin-waisted wasps are mud daubers for anyone wondering. And chunky bees are adorable.)

And she knows you’re after her booty when you buy her a drink (rum…how original).

Oh they know there’s a difference, or else they wouldn’t strategically shit the opposite color of the object they target.

(Jokes aside, the white portion of bird droppings is uric acid and the dark portion is fecal matter, which they excrete from the same opening).

It was free when you used LimeWire to download LimeWire Pro

Edit: thought this was about free vs. pro versions. Good memories from LimeWire days. There are still ways to download what you need though.

I’ve tried offering them my uncovered hairless leg as a sacrifice but they still insist on doing the zzzzZzzZZzZzzzz around my ears when I try to sleep. 😔

Enough talk, let’s get to the guac guac.

One of the benefits of speaking a less popular language is that subtitles (downloaded separately since they’re rarely offered as a built-in option) are usually pretty accurate since they are submitted by a handful of native speakers instead of run through translation software. It’s not perfect all the time, but certainly understandable.

Semi-related, I used to translate song lyrics on lyricstranslate.com and would add context in a footnote for parts where a literal translation would not work well. It was annoying when users would submit translations that were obviously run through Google Translate and without any nuance or explanation.

Thank you for the detailed answers and for sharing your perspective :)

• What are your favorite or most beautiful part of the region that you would recommend to visitors?

• What are the biggest issues and hot topics in the region at the moment?

• What is the general mentality of people where you live (are they accepting, conservative, hospitable, what kind of values do they find important)?

Once my avocados weren’t ripe enough for a recipe I wanted to make on the day I was having guests over. I searched for tips to ripen or soften them more quickly. One of these tips was to wrap them in foil and bake them in the oven (the tip specifically said it would help with the texture and not the taste). Well, it took way longer than the tip said it would for the avocados to soften and they tasted like hot shit. It would have been better to just save them for another day.

Rest in piss 🪦🙏

How it started vs. how it’s going

The funniest part of this is the poster suggesting that dogs are not sentient.

Deodorant; the antivenom to the Fediverse’s own species of pit viper.

It’s the beginning of the url to any real LinkedIn profile, which I guess is all the application form validates for. It wouldn’t allow me to submit the application when I tried to enter a written explanation that I don’t use LinkedIn.

For applications that have a required a LinkedIn url field, most of the time they will accept just “https://www.linkedin.com/“ as a valid url. I have never had a LinkedIn profile and have been called for an interview after doing that. Maybe it’s a standard template for some job application forms and/or the employer doesn’t care about it too much.

There is decaffeinated coffee if you’re looking to reduce your caffeine intake but still miss the process of making and drinking it.

One black coffee in the morning on most days. Coffee doesn’t seem to affect me but it’s a nice part of my morning routine. If I’m invited to a cafe or offered coffee at someone’s house I might have a second if it’s not too late in the day. Throughout the day, I might drink herbal and fruit teas that don’t contain caffeine (or minimal amounts of it).
