Different person, but yes, even after watching the TC video. I preheat the water too. And it’s a fairly recent Miele dishwasher.
Rinsing the dishes definitely helps cut down on this, though. And occasionally checking the filter at the bottom. A little rinsing goes a long way, I’ve found.
Tax filing companies. Individual taxes are pretty straightforward in most cases. Our tax laws are just completely screwed up.
Health insurance and tax information can easily be handled by the government.
Sync, until it dies.
Nobody really follows the Bible to the letter, especially with things like clothing worn, foods ate and all that. At the time, religions in general were a great way to teach people how to wash poop off their hands before eating, how to avoid foods with parasites, and not treat the lowest in society like absolute dogshit.
The real takeaways from the Bible are:
Treat others with respect, humility and love
A lifetime of goodwill can be squandered with one act of cruelty.
You can be screwed up your entire life, but still be redeemed in the end by admitting that you screwed up and genuinely making amends where possible.
If having gay sex was sinful, God wouldn’t have made it so fun. He put the prostate and clitoris there for a reason, after all. He made us in his image.
Growing up, everyone felt pity for them, as they grew up sheltered and not very well educated. In modern times, I feel like this has been magnified significantly.
I’d only do it if your kid was getting the absolute shit kicked out of them at school(s). Social media makes it extremely easy to get chain-bullied at multiple schools even with a transfer or two.
It’s always a safer move to wear protection. If you’re monogamous and your partner hasn’t had any illness recently, it’s probably safe to do raw if they do a good clean out first.
4.15, PNW, today. Typical range is 3.80 - 5.30
We’re a car-light household, so it doesn’t affect us too much. I still want better mass transit options, though.
It really depends. Can they see my flings and hookups and everything in real time over the course of my life? If so, I’ll need 30+ post-death years to get over the embarrassment.
Definitely a tough situation. I hope things work out well for all of you. I’m also extremely curious about what animal John has for his fursona.
FWIW, I’m not too worried about John’s dating life. The furry community is pretty strong and cross-functional, and there’s a ton of hobby overlap with furries and other hobbies and sports. Especially if he’s bi, there will be others that he will meet, and he’s young. Hopefully his depression gets better.
I think the Valve era was pretty incredible.
Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Half Life + HL2, and Portal + 2 all pushed the genres forward or were utterly unique for their time.
I can’t think of any other dev ATM that was doing what valve was doing in the 00s and early 10s.
Definitely fine. I fill up my car like…once a month, if that.
Mine failed that way, yeah. Though I think it was user error after trying to repair a mouse that wasn’t designed to be serviced officially. All the rubber wore off the wing, so I had to disassemble and replace it with a generic part. The left and right clicks are a bit spongy now, and middle click only intermittently works now, but the mouse is grippy again. I wish more mice were actually repairable.
It’s annoying to have mice that break down and need to be repurchased instead of a few replacement parts. 90% of the mouse was fine.
Mid 20s! It all worked out.
I think you might be talking to the wrong people. I know many people in happy marriages, male and female.
One of my friends was a rural police officer, which I didn’t know. Dude is super friendly and queer. Unfortunately he had a lot of terribly sad stories of AD&D and DUIs. He finally called it quits when one woman rode up an industrial garage door to impress her friend and got lethally caught in it. Found her friend holding her legs to try and save her. Too many terrible things happened to nice but terribly misguided (or drunk) people.
I think that job hurt his heart.
Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.
The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.
I always vote, local, state, and federal. I would never vote for candidates who specifically are out to destroy things, or do austerity measures. I also don’t vote by party, but by values.
Because few people vote in my area, my votes have enormous impacts on society at large, which feels uniquely powerful.
I love the woods a lot, so I voted for a candidate that wanted to preserve them. My singular vote alone counted as 2% of the entire state, and the pro-Muir candidate won. And that was me alone, I also talked to friends and family about voting, which they did.
