It’s not the pipes I meant, but the flexible hookup hoses. They make metal ones, and I’ve been told they are more reliable then the rubber (vinyl?) ones that these appear to be.

I stand corrected. I checked where my plumber had connected pvc to the iron stack, and it does use hose clamps but as part of something a little more convincing. It’s basically a sleeve with 4 hose clamps mounted on it.

Again with the hose clamps. I’ve never seen a real plumber connect things with hose clamps.

Not a plumber but, I have to ask. …

The black snakey pipe that does a loop is the drain line? And the washer drains into it from far below against gravity through that thin flexible hose? And it is held on with a hose clamp at the end? I’m no expert, but I wonder about those things…

The hot and cold inlet lines also, I’ve been told always fail eventually and that you should use the metal ones instead.

And is that silver ducting the drier vent? If so, that’s a problem too.

How do you feel about oatmeal? It’s healthy and has much more potential for adding flavors to than most people ever consider. It’s pretty neutral and makes a good canvas for other flavors.

For example, you can add cheese to make something like a healthier Mac and cheese. The starch makes it sort of creamy.

But you might want to upgrade from rolled oats to steel cut oats. You get much more “tooth” to your oatmeal and not just mush. Unless the mush is what you like. You can also use whole oats for even more “tooth”.

seem to sign that they are a company that want to pay as little as possible.

Isn’t that nearly all companies? Personally, from a pragmatic stand point, I think it behooves one to put up with some level of that until one builds enough of a resume to be able to be choosey. If they prove to be downright abusive, or what you have to put up with harms your mental health, move on.

Don’t expect companies to be altruistic. How well they treat you will tend to depend on your value in the job market, i.e. how much they need you vs how much you need them. You likely need to deal with some unideal situations to get yourself to a point where they see you as valuable.

Do you clean and debone the peepers first or just put them on whole, eyeballs, bones, and all?

The only way you could use ‘thirty two’ correctly for that number would be ‘one and thirty two hundredths’ which would be pretty unusual.

It would probably be worth installing steam natively and see if makes a difference. From what I read certain machines and certain games can show a noticeable performance penalty using a container.

Did work end up being more like being on a Klingon ship or Borg?

People think are a lot more rational than they really are. We are wired to very easily start responding something as if it were a living being, develop a relationship with it, start caring about it. We do this with fictional characters, dolls, stuffed animals, etc. , nevermind something designed to mimic one convincingly in real time.

No, really? Reading a document like means you have to believe one of two things: either there is a massive collusion and conspiracy between a ton of different groups against this individual, with a lot of bad actors, or this is a very troubled individual giving a very distorted and paranoid portrayal of what is going on, someone whose behaviors constantly create conflict.

I know nothing about this individual, this app, or any of the history here, but that is the choice I get from reading this, and one of those two options should seem pretty obviously a lot more probable.

What if you’re in the middle of one of these?

This. It can be exhausting. I feel compelled to reassure the person that I’m not upset or whatever. It makes a big deal out of something i’d rather not be expending any social energy on.

Here’s an exaggerated analogy of what is like: imagine that every time you sneezed someone came over all concerned, like 'are your alright? are you sure? do you need a doctor? ’ and you had to explain that it was no big deal and that you were ok.

It also reminds me a little of people who cut themselves down, making you fell like you need to tell them, ‘oh no, you’re not ugly / stupid / a jerk’ or whatever.

Please don’t use url shorteners, this hides any information the url gives you about where it is taking you. Also most things on the internet support the concept of a link where the url is hidden behind friendly text but still inspectable without clicking by mousing over it.

I skip the mental process of ‘my mood is X so let’s listen to composer Y’. How I feel simply makes me feel like playing some Y (or some specific piece, or some type of music since composers often have pieces with different moods, and the type of piece and instruments plays a big role).

just want to add a couple more ingredients to what’s been mentioned: mollases, liquid smoke

In general salad dressings can work pretty well.

Free style different combos of subsets of the ingredients everyone mentioned. Remember the ones that come out really good.

In the short term. In the long term you are likely going to want to replace ingredients you like as you use them up.

He’s very sincere and open about his villiany.

I love this so much. When I first switched to Linux, being able to just list a bunch of server aliases along with the private key references in my .ssh/config made my life SO much easier then the redundantly maintained and hard to manage putty and winscp configurations in Windows.
