A card or letter? Obvs is changes by location, but my local govt people can’t even accept a cup of coffee.

I was too young for 2 girls 1 cup back in the day and fortunately had the good sense not to watch it. I think I will forever be too young for that one.

I would be regular vacuuming floors and furniture every day, laundering anything that I can, and putting things in the freezer that I can’t launder. Plus making sure pets flea treatments are up to date. Cat bed gets deep cleaned.

Flea #2 sighted and I’m hunting for steam cleaner deals with your gf.

From my memory, the timing seemed to align with Facebook. Moving from anonymous chatrooms to proper Social Media with a/s/l information and more already populated.

Even worse though, she doesn’t know any of the early memes. Hampster Dance, Badger Badger Badger, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Leeeeroy Jenkins. Salad Fingers. How does a young, gothic lass get through her teen years without Salad Fingers?

Yeah, but hiring is a big series of assumptions. Resumes and interviews only give you so much confidence on how a person will actually do in the job.

Speaking for myself, I want to hire quickly. I get 10 resumes for 1 spot, I’m not going to agonize over whether the PhD is having a mid-life change and really wants the fast food job, or if they are going to split in a month, or hell, if they have some addiction or personal problem that prevents them from holding a job that matches their qualifications. If there’s a candidate that meets the reqs and seems like a fit, I’m moving right along with them.

If the PhD is convincing in an interview that they’re really just looking for a switch, sure, but I’m not going to waste a lot of time and energy waiting to be convinced when there are other candidates with a more expected profile also vying for the job.

My youngest sister doesn’t know what that means. I think it might be one of those lines of demarcation between millennial and Z.

My mom was cooking some beef and brown sauce dish as I was reading a book with cannibalism at way too young an age. I associated that smell with eating human flesh for over a decade and would have to leave the house as it was cooking.

Sure. More qualifications means more pay will be expected. And if all that needs done is The Thing for $, no reason to pay $$$ for The Thing+++.

So do green and white. Green may even have more caffeine than black tea. I hope they’re drinking caffeine-free herbal teas.

Coffee in the morning. Switching to working from home, I started drinking way too much coffee but I’m back down to one cup a day typically. More than the excessive caffeine, I started noticing my teeth getting more sensitive, which I think was due to having coffee sitting on the enamel so much more. So one cup, drink it within 30 min, then brush my teeth.

Bubbly water or tea the rest of the day if I feel like something other than water.

Multiple upvotes on my comment indicates I’m not the only one tired of Boomer “shit on my partner” humor.

No. Sometimes I have a computer in my dreams but it is usually useless.

“She’s hot, but really ought to keep it on the DL for me to enjoy and no one else to see because think of the children”.

What a weird little humble brag while also putting down your girlfriend and blaming her for broader society’s behavior. If she’s not lying, advocating for unhealthy habits or trends, encouraging parasocial relationships, or spreading misinformation, she’s not the problem.

My keys, which is the reason I got a cheap detector. I haven’t used it since, but have loaned it out a couple times for other people looking for their keys.

A small child nicked my keys and dropped them somewhere in a large field. A detector was cheaper than a new electronic key for my car.

There are a few DIY guides out there.

I don’t think a bathtub is the way to go. They aren’t long enough for most adults to float in. Plus they take a lot of salt, so either the bathtub is dedicated as a sensory tank or you have to drain it / refill it frequently (which gets expensive) in between using it as a normal bath.

The salty water can go down the drain though.

They’d get less plasma. Putting the non-plasma portion back in what enables people to donate/sell plasma a couple times a week versus ~monthly or less if donating whole blood.

Also, we finally have the vampire bat population under control. We can’t be feeding them that much blood, their strength will return and we’ll be right back to the dark vampiric ages.

Keeps the “wrong people” from donating 🤔?

Like the others I’ve only seen pay for blood plasma, not whole blood. Whole blood gets you a cookie, sometimes a sticker or a T-shirt, or once I got a $15 gift card but I’m pretty sure that was from the company sponsoring the charity blood drive and not the Red Cross who was collecting the blood.

And pay for plasma isn’t a lot, like $30 a donation, 1-2 donations per week. You get more working a single shift at a fast food restaurant. Plasma also takes longer to donate than whole blood because you have to sit there while the plasma is separated out and the remainder pumped back into you.

So the answer is: not rich at all.

Fair use once it’s posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.
