Help dealing with heat exhaustion?

Had my second day of my dishwashing job yesterday, and it was very hot out (32⁰/89.6⁰)

Of course, being a dishwasher is already very hot, with the working right next to the ovens and the getting covered in hot dish water and the unloading burningly hot dishes for my soft squishy hands, so I did prepare by bringing a water bottle, and wearing the coolest outfit I could (our drese code is a black T-shirt and black pants, and I wore these very light/Summer appropriate pants), and I guess that wasn't enough.

At some point, I was starting to feel so bad I didn't think I could power through, so I slurred "cannnn I hhave a breag" and stumbled down the stairs, went blind for a few seconds, told one of the coworkers who asked how I was doing "not shure if ahm gonna throw up or pass out", threw up in front of him, went blind again for a bit, and then stood ih the walk in fridge drinking fresh ice water they kindly supplied me with.

They let me go home early, even though I said I could probably go back in 10 minutes, but now I'm concerned for how I'm going to deal with this once it's actually Summer. I don't wanna throw up and leave two and a half hours early every time.

They have fans, though the air they blow is pretty warm, and the door open to the outside could only do so much when it's still so hot out there (at least to a Canadian like me.)

Are these actually any healthier than normal potato chips?

I like these a lot and don't at all eat them to be healthy, I just genuinely love the flavour and texture, but now I'm curious if they're actually healthier in the first place, as I'm pretty sure that's why mom bought them for me as a kid.

First try at making homemade peanut butter cups

The chocolate and peanut butter distribution is weird inside as you can see, which is simply because I just didn't bother to make it even. Next time, I probably will take an extra few seconds to just smoothen the peanut butter before adding the top layer.

Would there be a way to make ice cream sandwiches at home with the exact texture the cookies of store bought ones have?

I'm assuming the answer is no, however I thought I might ask.

Something about the pose and/or the anatomy here just looks... bad to me.

I feel too embarrassed to post my ship art here, so I just anonimized it by tracing over it really quickly with blank figures haha. It's just the pose that I need help with, anyway.

I'm not sure if it's that the anatomy is wrong, or if it just looks flat or both. I know for a fact that the arms of the one who's hand is being grabbed look bad to me, but I'm unsure how to fix them, and also I feel like there's other parts that are drawn incorrectly or just flatly. I'm open to ideas on how to improve the anatomy, and also ideas on things that might make it look more interesting.

Also, the whole very skinny and lanky thing is part of the design of these characters, I am aware humans aren't that skinny or have necks like that, haha. That's not the issue.

More Pearl and Volleyball swap edits

Thanks for all the support on my last one! It really encouraged me. I think I'd like to venture into frame editting more often, as that was my first time.

Alright, now I'm just gonna ramble about some things, you do NOT have to read all (or any) of this.

-because I made Pearl's crack on the opposite side of her face, this meant I had to actually show whether it healed or not at the end of the episode, which the animators definitely tried to keep ambiguous. I utlimately decided to just make it still there, but less severe like the fence sitter I am. The trauma isn't gone, but she views herself as just a little less broken than before.

-A lot of people were saying that Pearl and Volleyball's names would probably be swapped, or maybe Pearl would just gets a new nickname. For now, I'm just calling Pearl "Pearl" and Volleyball "Volleyball" for the sake of simplicity (or Swap Pearl and Swap Volleyball conversationally.) That said, maybe Volleyball does go by Volleyball still in this AU for a reason — a few people said she looked athletic, so maybe she genuinely enjoys the sport and wanted to nickname herself to seperate herself from being a servant in the past.

-I think I'd imagine in this episode, rather than Volleyball being all jealous and snarky/condescending, she feels uneasy around Pearl, due to being so similar to how she used to be. When Pearl claims Pink Diamond was the one who hurt her, Volley gets very upset and defensive (pretty much the same as Pearl's reaction.)

For those curious, the reason why the ship exists is due to this page in Who Will Comfort Toffle, combined with the fact that Mymble Jr. Is based on Tove at times, and Too Ticky is heavily based on her wife, along with the fact that Tove would often imply characters to be gay (as she couldn't make anyone overtly gay.)

I personally like the ship. I think it's cute because in the comics, Mymble always falls on love with men who aren't good for her at all, particularly in a way that seems like she's forcing herself to be in love with whoever's the most manly man and later realizing it wasn't real love, so her getting a girlfriend seems like her finding a more authentic love (that said, Mymble could also be bi and just have bad taste in men, haha.) I also think Too-Ticky would be a really great partner, and Mymble desserves to be with someone so relaxed who can keep her calm and let her be herself.

At an Ethiopian restaurant once, we were served a sort of appetizer that was chips (yes, some sort of chip) and this red presumably tomato-based sauce that looked extremely smooth, like tomato paste pretty much. I was a kid at the time, so I don't remember the flavour well, but it didn't taste like tomato paste, or any Italian or Mexican tomato-based sauce I was used to. It was very good, and now I'm curious what it was.

We can't go shopping for a while which means no buying teff flour, but we do have the ingredients for misir wat and since I worry it won't be enough, I'm wondering what else I could serve it with?

I'm aware you don't know exactly what's in our pantry, but any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Basically, in the Spring our bathroom at Dad's house would get filled with "ladybugs." Feeling like a noble hero, I'd always spend hours carefully picking up tens of them, making sure not to hurt or scare them, and going downstairs to open the door and release them. I'd make sure no ladybugs were left behind, probably letting about 30 of them outside every weekend.

One day, my stepmom just casually mentioned that they weren't real ladybugs, that they were invasive Asian lady beetles, and I was horrified.

After doing research on the differences between Asian lady beetles and ladybugs, not only was it confirmed but now I'm pretty sure I've never seen an actual ladybug in my entire life.

*Shows a big buff character with a massive jaw, a full beard, arm hair, and several cartoonishly exaggerated masculine traits that doesn't fit with the media's art style at all and is clearly drawn intentionally ugly compared to everyone else*

There's a joke about her being a sexual predator, and a few jokes where she flirts with men who find her disgusting, but she's actually potrayed as a good person! She always calls the main character "fabulous" and most of the main characters agree that once you get to know her and look past what a gross freak she is, she's actually really nice! She also dies graphically in a really noble way and one of the characters says they'll miss her!

Quote from the absolute ALLY creator: "I based him off of some of my gay crossdresser transvestite friends."

▲ 1 r/paypal

Hello. I've been waiting to make a Paypal because I've been in the process of getting my name legally changed, and I know Paypal is infamous for locking accounts when they try to change their name to match their legal name, and locking accounts when their account name doesn't match with their legal name.

That said, as it's only just been changed, we have yet to get me a new ID, change my bank account information, my SIN, ETC. I'm wondering, which things should I wait to be changed before making one? I know my ID and my bank account info needs to be changed first, anything else?
