I am purchasing an expensive chess set as well as a checkers set made of the same material. The company doesn't have a display case for the checkers. I want to have a wood worker in Missouri build it for me. Any recommendations?
This is a rental. Landlord is aware the window leaks. I am taking in a family member who is 16 and needs their own space. This huge basement has laminate hardwood flooring so I am going to use the space for her. What caulk or sealant do I buy to fix this for at least 12-months? Leaking isn’t horrible but if left unattended it would ruin the flooring.
Also, I am adding a humidity sensor and a dehumidifier I can turn on remotely to the outlet closest to this window. Any other suggestions?
Landlord is an old lady who won’t be fixing this.
In the early 2000s I played football in HS. I frequented GMC for all the different protein powders and bars. Everything had a horrible taste. Back then it wasn’t supposed to taste good I guess. Well these taste like that. I haven’t tried the vanilla crème one yet but this chocolate muscle milk shake is honestly the worst I’ve had in a very long time.
I work in manufacturing. I work 16-hour days, every single day. I've been doing this for approximately 8-months. I will be doing this for the foreseeable future. I am in a management position, head of QA for my production facility. I am going absolutely insane.
Prior to this position I worked on the road for a major company doing specialized repairs on equipment. I was all over the USA, usually only home one or two weekends a month. I am going insane at my stationary desk job.
I plan on working for the rest of the year and into March 2027. By that point I will have all debt but student loans paid off and have a pretty large chunk of liquid cash in my account. I'll be ready for a career move.
What's the likelihood that, within the first 18-months, I can land a spot with a company driving mostly at night, OTR, maybe coming home once every 6-8 weeks? I am a workaholic. It funds my hobbies that I don't have time for. I don't want to make the career transition if I am likely to get stuck having to team drive during the day. I work 3PM - 7AM every single day. I'm pretty set in my schedule where my active time is between 5PM - 7AM.
I'm mostly asking because I see a lot of changes on the horizon for trucking with AI, fuel shortages, etc.. Do you guys think it's likely I will get a job within the first 18-months that kind of fit my parameters?
My sister had an EOS Rebel T7 up until last year. Her camera equipment was stolen. She's not really had any interest in photography since. I'm going to buy her another camera but I don't know anything about photography so I need help figuring out what to buy with it.
I am purchasing a Canon EOS Rebel T7 camera that's going to come in at or around ~$500. I have another $500 to spend on accessories, lenses, batteries, etc.. I just don't know what to buy. In total, my budget is about $1,000.
What would you guys buy with it?
My ex girlfriend from 2022 bought these cakes for her dogs that were made by a lady in her kitchen. She makes like dog birthday cakes and stuff. I got curious and tried a small piece and it was some seriously gourmet stuff. Every cake she bought I'd eat a slice. It was like sweet potato, banana, honestly I have no idea. We verified that it's human edible and I guess there's some law where she can make cakes for dogs but not people in her kitchen. I don't know.
I just know I want to find this woman and buy a cake for my dog. If you know of a lady making cakes for dogs in Affton, ask her if I can have her contact info and give it to me.
I was 10 when Rose Red originally aired on TV. Google tells me that it was on ABC so it makes sense that I caught it because I was huge into Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Their Friday night lineup was pretty epic to be honest and TV has never released dopamine within me like ABC did in the 90s.
I remember watching it in my grandparents bedroom while they watched a movie in the living room. I had popcorn and grandma brought me ice cream on one of the commercial breaks. I remember this movie was one of the first I had seen that genuinely terrified me. This one and the little slave dolls from Tales from the Hood were the great fears of my childhood.
I just found it on Hulu and gave it a rewatch. Still amazing. Obviously going to have to watch Halloweentown soon.
My memory is pretty solid from my childhood but what I don't remember is it airing in such long segments. I thought for sure that it aired over like six weeks and the episodes were much shorter.
Anyway, off to watch the hospital one that King made. I was never able to watch it when it came out because I was always busy with something else when it aired. Hope it's just as good.
edit: can't find Kingdom Hospital. Any recommendations?
I bought 4 of these vapes from different dispensaries in Missouri over the last month. This one is fully charged but doesn’t burn THC. The other one I bought also is experiencing the same thing. The first two I bought worked for the most part but still had issues.
I’m not hitting these everyday. They’re more for when people are around me because the smell from these is really low. They’re not getting a lot of use before they become waste.
Highly advise that these be avoided.
I had the opportunity to hop on ozempic about 3 months ago to help me cut after bulking. It's worked absolute wonders. The problem this cut is that I can't stomach grilled chicken and veggies twice a day. I can't stomach grilled chicken twice a day. Not on ozempic. That's put me in a pretty serious problem regarding my protein intake.
Yogurt. I eat maybe half a pound throughout the day mixed in with protein powder, peanut butter, fruit. Some days if I can't get my protein in other ways I'll eat a full pound with protein powder, peanut butter, fruit. Sometimes I'll dip my homemade protein bars in it. Same with my homemade protein chips. I've been doing it for about 3 weeks now and I haven't noticed any side effects. I've noticed a decrease in stomach aches/pains/cramps. I haven't been nauseous since starting this.
Before I would force myself to eat chicken breasts because I need real protein, not just protein from shakes or powder. Calorie to protein ratio on greek yogurt is insane. Also, I just bought a Ninja Creamie, so I'm looking forward to pints of frozen protein yogurt now that it's getting hot. Greek Yogurt + Fairlife protein chocolate shake + banana is pretty killer.
edit: I also recommend yogurt being the first thing you eat when you wake up. My stomach feels like there is a sack of stones in it until I eat my yogurt and then it subsides. I think it makes it easier for me to eat solid food after I eat yogurt. I do have an extremely sensitive stomach on this ozempic stuff though so it could just be me.
S6E15 - what the hell lol
Right now I am working 16-hour shifts. 3PM - 7AM. I'm doing that 6x a week, with Sunday typically being an on call day. I have to be physically present on site for those 16-hours everyday. I average about 8-hours a shift where I am in my office but don't need to be doing anything other than be present just in case. So I spend those 6-hours playing D2 on my Macbook Pro.
Right now I am working on:
I basically pop my adderall about an hour before I know I'll have down time and ride the dopamine high, locked in and farming.
I've got a stock pile of 900 Ral runes, P Amy's that I keep adding to. Eventually I am going to sit down for 6-hours and craft caster amulets and blood gloves. I have no interest in doing another SC 99. I've already done that 8 or 9 times through OG D2 LoD to now. I've never 99'd a druid which is why he's my only focus on HC. My SC characters are for messing around and tinkering with insane wealth. my HC character is for actual fun playing the game. I'm taking him slow. Only playing him a couple hours a week and I stop if I am not having fun. I get sparks throughout the week where I'm like, "man casting fissure seems like a baller thing to do right now." so I go play him. Otherwise I stick to SC and farm. Which is wild because I've always played HC and thought SC was never any fun. The fun in SC I have found is being able to do whatever I want to do without worrying about death. Still, I get more out of HC and recommend all of you try it.
What are you guys working on?
Season 6 dropped today and episode 4 isn't available. Only episode that season that's not available. It says the rights expired. This is really disappointing if we're getting incomplete seasons.
edit: I have AMC+. It says, "This title is unavailable due to expired rights" directly under the episode. The only reason I noticed is because I was watching S6E3 when I went to the bathroom. I came back out and Amazon was playing 'The Mortuary Assistant' and I couldn't figure out why it stopped playing Tales from the crypt. Tried going to S6E4 and it says expired rights. So I pulled it up on my Macbook Pro and sure enough, it says expired rights.
I burned through 99 spirit sets and 99 Hel runes just to end up with a 25% FCR spirit Monarch.
How's your day going?
My sister is finishing up her Phlebotomy program at a college near her. I'm her resume guy so I was looking at entry-level positions for her and I came across Biolife. I donated plasma in college so I know it's high turnover, probably not great work, etc..
What I'm curious about is the Entry-Level Phlebotomist jobs that are posted don't list a Phlebotomy certificate as part of the requirements. What's up with that? Shouldn't something like that be clearly listed in the requirements or is it more of a "phlebotomist" job where you don't need a certificate because you're not doing actual phlebotomy?
Am I signing up as a new patient or is it still considered a renewal even though I let it lapse?
Basically, I work 16-hours every single day with the exception of 1 day a week if I am lucky. I am doing about 96-hours per week until the end of the Summer. We're short staffed, we can't get people that don't smoke marijuana or are smart enough to cheat a test. All 5 people under me in my department are on probation for attendance so I can't even interview them for the positions I need filled. I know. Life sucks. Nothing I can do for them or myself right now work wise. Can't quit because I honestly make too much money to give it up. I'm stating this unnecessary information so no one comes in here flaming me, "no one works 96-hours a week." I do. Sometimes more if I'm too busy to take a day off each week. That's why I am so particular about what I need. I'm only at home maybe 6-hours a day right now so I have to keep everything together, all the time.
I am looking for a bag that needs to meet certain specifications.
Right now, I am using a Yeti backpack and the Yeti Hopper Flip 18 (which honestly sucks as a lunch box). So I have to carry my backpack with my laptop and man purse essentials in the backpack, my meal stuff in the annoyingly big Yeti with strap draped over my shoulder, my 32oz wide mouth hydro flask in my hand, and then a protein shake and energy drink wherever the Hell I can fit them on my body. It's gotten so cumbersome that I don't even meal prep half the time. I end up door dashing and it's starting to show.
Please help me.
I’m having issues in a new area I moved to. The reps said coverage is great all over town. It’s not. Is this really 4 bars of 5g speed? My phone browser(s) are embarrassingly slow and apps regularly get hung up with connecting
