Title! I'd like to purchase for Switch 1 but will purchase for PC if the performance isn't great.

Basically what the title says! I am looking into trying a cake batter ice cream as my first creation but I can't decide which type of cake batter flavoring to use. What are the differences between them? Which one is better for ice cream?

Newbie here!! I recently got a Cuisinart ICE-30BCP1 and I am so excited to make cake batter ice cream lol. My local ice creamery makes theirs with a natural cake batter extract and I looove it. Does anyone here have a cake batter recipe and/or suggestions for an extract? Do I just use a basic vanilla recipe and add cake batter extract?

We live in a 3 bed 2 bath single-level duplex home. I noticed teensy tiny little black ants a few hours ago in the kitchen, and just keep seeing more and more in there. It seems like they kind of congregate by the stove, so I’m wondering if their colony is under/behind that. I rent and I’ve never had to deal with ants before so I am very stressed out🥲

We placed 5 Terro liquid ant baits around the kitchen, 1 by our back door, 1 by our garage door, and 1 by our front door. I also scrubbed down the kitchen floor with paper towels and a 50/50 water/vinegar solution.

I have a hamster cage in the dining room about 10 steps away from the kitchen, and I am super worried about ants getting over to his cage. I smeared about an inch of Vaseline on the bottom of each table leg that his cage is sitting on. All of his food stuff is in mason jars, ziplocs, or airtight plastic containers.

I also emailed management and let them know.

What else should I know about these pests? How can I keep my hamster safe from them?

I have a steel bucket with a lid that I keep my main supply in, but I bought extra today from WBU that’ll have to stay in the bags they came in until the bucket is empty and I can refill with the new stuff…is it better to keep those in our garage where we keep the bucket or inside our house?

I’ve had this phone for a few years now and the maximum battery capacity is 69%. I pay for AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, so I’m thinking of going to an Apple Store to get the battery replaced. Is this a fairly easy process? Is there any risk in losing my data or any other risks with doing this?

(I’m hoping this post doesn’t break the rules! I know that losing battery capacity is a typical process for iPhones, I just want to know about the process of replacing the battery.)

Anyone else experiencing burnout as a new-ish tech? I’ve only been doing this for a few years but I dread going in every day. I have quite the cushy schedule in the world of healthcare jobs and I’m grateful for what I have, but I still feel this way. It’s getting really difficult and draining😕

I dread going to work. Every single day. I’ve only been in this career for 4 years.

To make a very long story short, I’ve had a bit of a rough go of it so far in my career, with lots of awful people making it difficult and a few big life events with my family that also complicate things. I am really good with the population that I work with, and I’m a good employee who earns high praise, but I feel miserable most of the time.

It’s not that I’m NOT grateful, because I am. I make great money, have some great people who I work with and who I love, and I work hours that are sought after for the job that I do. But still, all I do all day at work is think about how many hours I have left. I wish it were as easy as just getting tf over it and realizing how good I have it.

Management sucks, several of the people I work with and for suck, but I can’t put a finger on why exactly I’m so miserable. I wish I could work less hours, I really believe that would help me, but that’s not an option money-wise and management might not even let me do that.

I’m going back to work this week after I’ve had over a week off, and I’m just in such a pit of dread. I can’t leave this job. I need the good money and stability it gives me. I just wish I were happier.

P.S. Yes, I am under treatment for my mental health and have been for a long while.

My boyfriend and I are on vacation and doing a TON of walking so my feet feel like they’re on fire + being stabbed with knives, I’m in so much pain😭 I just iced my feet and I’ll be reading and resting in the hotel bed for the next 14hrs in hopes that I’ll be able to walk around for our last day tomorrow. It is so annoying to not be able to walk and move as much as I want to. This sucks!!!!

I started having major heel plus some arch pain over a year ago now and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, but the pain has now almost completely transitioned to my mid/posterior inner arch and on the mid/posterior inner side of my foot. Has anyone else experienced this?

I need to go see my podiatrist again and try to get an MRI but I have a trip I’m going on this week that is going to include tons of walking, so I need some advice🥲

We are heading up to Portland for vacation next week and will be there from the 18th to the 22nd. Should a trip to the rose garden be added to our itinerary? I know the website says late May but not sure exactly when that may be. TIA!

I’m not a big coffee drinker, and when I do it leans more milky and sweet, but I’ve been loving the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso and would love to hear y’all’s favorite customizations for it! I’m thinking of trying ristretto and/or dark caramel sauce in it.

I’m not a huge coffee drinker so please excuse my ignorance lol. I am definitely more of a milky and sweet coffee person. I’m a fan of the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso but I’ve been wanting to try other coffee drinks like the iced blonde vanilla latte or iced caramel macchiato. I get my shaken espresso with 1 shot for a grande and 2 for a venti, with just the base number of brown sugar syrup pumps, and I like that level of sweetness. How would that compare to the other 2 drinks I mentioned?
