I used to have this bff, for about 30 years. Since college. a little before the pandemic, we were coming back home from some friends party, a bit late, and she gets very very moody when feeling sleepy.

She decided to tell me some "truths, since we are so close and I feel at liberty to disclose them", in her words.

I already wasn't feeling very well, emotionally. She *absolutely destroyed* for two hours. I would walk away , but i was in her car and I would have to scramble to get home, 50 miles away, close to midnight, in the middle of the road. in hindsight, I should have left the car then and there. Only later I realized she used me to channel her own frustrations, and I wasn't feeling well enough to confront her bullshit. She kickstarted a years long, severe depression in me. i didn't talk to her for years. But, I started talking to her about a year ago. Then, a month ago, I truly needed some help, and she was extremely rude. She told me to ask for help elsewhere, and that she could only talk for 10 minutes because she was doing her taxes. And had a lot to do the next day. Her tone was aggressive and hateful. I don't mind she'd have a busy next day. But I can not, and will not, be attacked again *by her*. Now she's blocked , and I'm relieved I won't have to deal with her _"truths"_.

Hello fellows! Just the other day I discovered that some places (in Asia afaik) have been using the same sauce for decades, they just add more fresh ingredients as they use the finished product. it's nothing fermented, seems more related to the perpetual soup idea, sauces that need reduction through evaporation and time+heat for the flavors to melt together.

I know that when fermenting Sauerkraut the predominant bacteria populations change overtime, it's not like only one type of bacteria does it all. I also am aware of backslopping, and I tried it and didn't like the results. What I ask is: is there a method in which you take what you will consume and replenish with fresh ingredients, that doesn't give that backslopped taste? (I mean for food, not beer or wine)(this may be a stupid question, but I'm genuinely curious)

I'm 50. Diagnosed in February. Lots of pieces of my personal life began to fit. I mistreated people. I said untrue , hurtful, cruel things that caused me endless remorse, rue, shame, sadness , hopelessness. Relationships start fine, but at some point, something minor annoys me and I flip. It's always something minor, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen her as my girlfriend. I can't stand my instability, impulsivity, aggressivity. I'm tired of hurting people. I told myself, it's useles to want, to try, to promess. I simply can not mistreat the people who chose me. Time's passing and I'm condemning myself to live alone

My wife and I are considering buying a half a pig. The farm's website says we can expect to spend about $300 depending on how we want the pig processed. I'm wondering this:

How big is the variation in price, typically?

What can one request to save some money and how significant are the savings?

I'm looking for things that will have a high savings to extra-time-on-my-part-ratio. If something's not going to save a lot of money but makes a lot of work for me, I'm less interested than I am in the opposite situation.

Hoping this isn't overly specific.

Just like title

I've been recently taking it, and though I'm not necessarily more energetic, I can feel I'm not as continuosly tired as usual

Does anyone has other tips?

I've read that magnesium is also helpful

I've started a 7 day stage at a restaurant a couple of days ago. but, before starting there, I had applied and started being hired at Burger King. Desperate times.

At the restaurant I'm working from 07:00 AM to 03:20 PM; at BK I'll work from 08:00 PM to 04:20 AM. Gonna start flipping burgers today.

I'll basically have two hours to sleep, considering commuting. if I manage to get the job at the restaurant for real, I'll drop BK but I'll have to keep working there for 45 days, lest I have to pay a fine. Worst case scenario I sleep two hours a day for a week and keep working at BK. Best case scenario I'll sleep two hours a day for 45 days and get an easy, well-paid job

Any peers here have/had two hours of sleep a day?
