You absolutely can, right now. Once.

Yep. Use a rubber band in the screw when trying to unscrew it to help with a bit extra grip and then never use those screws again either. Either that or use a Dremel to turn it into a flat head screw and remove them.

It all depends on how you state it. I’ve never been called an incel when talking to grown-ass adults about these issues, but I also don’t have to turn to misogyny in doing so. (Not saying this is how you do it, it’s just a generality, and I’ve seen it a sickening amount of times online) That toxic masculinity really shines through when I see men posting online talking about double standards because the focus is on blame. Make it a positive discussion about how you’d like things to be rather than hate towards those holding you back.

You were never very good at Connect The Dots puzzles, huh?

Love my Gene Cafe!

Sounds like you had blades that didn’t work well with your skin. When I started using mine, I bought a big sample pack of blades and only a couple brands worked for me. The others were a nickfest.

Right?! I totally understand that. The place I worked at was a diner, and weekend breakfast rush was always insane. Would go through hundreds of eggs in a single shift to the point the grill would actually cool off if we went through them too fast. We’d always get a few stacks out and ready for whoever was on the grill, because that was the one position that you had no time to do anything except attend to what’s in front of you. But if we went to fast, we’d be using eggs that came straight from the fridge. I loved being on egg grill duty because I had only one job, no other responsibilities, people brought things to you, and I was damn good at it.

As a teen, I worked at a restaurant as a cook. The pay was terrible, the hours were unforgiving, the amount of cuts, bruises, and burns I got deserved hazard pay, and my coworkers were overly dramatic backstabbers. Liked the cooking and getting through a huge rush of customers, loved that when I left for the day my responsibilities and thoughts about work were behind me.

…so getting bitten can actually lead to super powers… hmm.

But also by being not stupid

Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that’d be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

I’ve even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I’ve checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I’m still late to all events. Whoops.

I did see that, and it doesn’t ruin my day because as of right now everything is encrypted without any backdoors to it, but yes I’m absolutely keeping an eye on it. When I saw that headline though I was pissed. Problem is I also don’t know of any other good, safe options currently.

While you forced it, I’ve heard that one several times too.

Thank you, I definitely looked at this sideways for a second until I realized what they meant and you confirmed my thoughts. Yeah I’m happy that my main email is now Proton, and I’m slowly moving accounts over.

Lol I’m looking at my new 9800X3D + ASRock build right now. So far so good???

Same. Honestly kinda forgot I hadn’t done so already.

Lol gdi I showed my friend this over a decade ago and she would call me Beautiful Vixen for years just to annoy me. … I should send it to her again.

Also it’s rare that a classroom would have a no watches rule.

Yeah probably 35+ years, 30 years ago would have been pretty much only 3.5" HDDs and I was on a 486DX2 for a few years. Fuck I’m old.

Fine, I’m calling it an apple not because of the homemade, but only because you said not to then.
