Two weird questions. What’s your fridge set at and how far away do you buy your milk?

It’s pretty common in grocery stores and during shipping for milk containers to break, jugs or bags. I’m wondering if perhaps your fridge is set too high and your store is close enough that when you put the milk in your fridge it would be the coldest object, causing condensation which makes a puddle of ‘milk’ that is washed off the outside of the jug.

Maybe? It’s weird that it doesn’t ‘leak’ after you open it.

They are not good.

Maybe if places actually used potato dough it would better.

I’ve seen either pizza dough, gravy, cheese curds + optional meat(bacon or donair usually) or what’s essentially a poutine dumped onto pizza dough, so fries, curds and gravy.

I’ve seen people eat them. That’s the best review I can give.

I don’t know, sorry. Just saw that detail on the wiki page but didn’t want to link a page of spoilers.

I remember ‘Braid’ being very good. A number of different time manipulation mechanics throughout the different levels of the game. Puzzle platformer.

There’s an anniversary edition planned so maybe stick it on a wish list for now.

I’ve recently exposed what I think constitutes criminal negligence at my company for safe handling of various chemicals. Pretty sure I’m getting fired on Tuesday.

AMA?

The Last Man on Earth was also amazing and under recognized.

Podcasts. I have a very aural internal experience and just having someone else’s voice in my head helps a lot.

Video games. There’s so much science put into making video games an escape it’s almost like cheating. If you look at them as an engineered tool designed for escapism it’s kind of amazing.

Gardening. Takes a certain amount of privilege in space, money and patience but it hits a very deep evolutionary satisfaction.

Nature. Just get as deep into trees as you can and then sit or walk. Find a tree that you like and keep visiting it through the year. Watch how things change through the season and how it fights a fungus or feeds the birds. Connect to an ephemeral but living thing in an implicitly liminal space to disconnect from your constructed reality.

Making something. Shelves are easy. Pizza or pie is just involved enough but not too much effort. Good for iteration and practice too. Lots of people do Lego or puzzles. I enjoyed 3d printing but it’s a major time investment thats hard to maintain.

Oh god I know too much about this. Long comment. Sadlol.

What kind of cast? Above or below the elbow?

I had above the elbow for 9 weeks once and below 3 times for 3-6 weeks on my right arm. Only below the elbow on my left but 5 times. My bones aren’t so good.

Above the elbow I played a lot of Warcraft 3(long time ago lol), Civ, AoE etc. Games that only required simple clicking but lots of hot keys to control. Above the elbow cast prevents a lot of you ability to rotate your arm so switching the mouse to your left doesn’t help much.

Below the elbow it depends if your thumb is immobile or not. If your thumb is free then it’s a matter of buying a cheap small mouse that will fit in your palm with the giant cast bulge. FPS and fast movements will be painful and not recommended but slower games and general use isn’t much impeded.

Immobile thumb is maybe the worst. Grab a cheap number pad and place it under your hand so you can use four fingers on the buttons. Mouse in your left hand. This severely limits what you can do with a computer.

Look up some brain exercises to ease the transition between sides of your brain and handedness. Also hold on to the skills you develop in these few weeks. Being able to work right or left hand helps with a lot of manual tasks with weird angles like using a drill under a sink or what have you.

Not at all. Go for it. Even if you just need to take a big ole shit on someone.

I tried to DM you initially but couldn’t figure out how in the PWA kbin app.

Hi 5 years ago me!

Literally. Except male. Too much and too private for public post. Since 2018 I’ve gone 140-215lbs(I’m 6’4”), too disabled to work 2017-2021, raised culty-Catholic but realized eschatology doesn’t do good things for disabled peoples minds, living with my wife’s infirm grandparents so no rent but she set herself on fire to keep us warm.

Medication and diagnosis of physical disease in February 2021 after 20 years of illness. New job July 2021. Tech work to lumber mill was quite the transition. Autism and traumatic stress disorder diagnosis in fall 2022.

Don’t know if I have any advice but lots of stories! Shared pain is lessened etc.

If anything I’d say ‘Your body does not define you’.

Doesn’t anyone else remember back in circa 2011-2014 when ISIS was all over Reddit?

Like you just be browsing r/Syriancivilwar or r/Arabspring and all of a sudden there’s some ISIS motherfucker just shitting everywhere? Saying the absolute worst things. r/syriancivilwar even had ISIS/ISIL flair for a while. To be overly fair, I did have one really interesting conversation(with a dude who thought I deserved death) about ‘Paulinism’ vs ‘Christianity’ but I don’t think that overall makes it worth having folks like that around.

I feel like people forget that era of development of mod tools and site policies. r/The_Donald were running into rules put in place to deal with literally ISIS.

Give yer balls a tug. Seriously. Maybe if you’re being as shitty as literally ISIS then you should take a look at your behavior. Get the fuck out of here.

It’s also highly disturbing that at least ISIS was honest. R/The_Donald would never admit to their hatred.
