Perhaps. I’m certainly not going to stop you from testing that hypothesis.

The recommendations of infidelity, introducing mentally unstable people into your life, lying…

The facts of your statement are generally correct. The advice of what to do with that were in another comment, so not reducing the correctness of the comment I was referring to. The advice itself can lead to a very exciting life.

One of those rare moments when a statement is completely wrong and completely right at the same time.

If only I had a way to support myself for the next 60 years while I did this, and still be young enough to enjoy it when I’m done.

Maybe the timeframe matters.

Colossal was weird, but i liked it. I could see where people would be thinking, what is this and why am I watching it, but it felt like real life to me. For a movie about monster avatars unwittingly being controlled from half a world away, anyway.

I wouldn’t say those are definitely the best lines in the movie, but probably top 5, definitely top 10.

Reading this made me wonder how metallic lithium is stored and, guess what, it’s stored in oil. So, which label do you use for a container holding lithium and oil? I’m guessing you need two, one for the lithium and one for the oil. And here we are.

No, I don’t think this building is filled with lithium and covered in oil, but I suspect there is more than one container containing metallic lithium covered in oil.

And every time one runs into a wall at fatal speeds, two slower ones appear.

Yearning for the mines.

I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I’ve written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn’t a bunch of data she’d deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.

It isn’t food, but you can always try this. There is even formal research. You’re welcome.

To tack on this. She definitely needs therapy, classic trauma-based coping mechanisms, and the depression may be because of that or exacerbating that. I’d also say, due to natural biases, that we may not have as much negative info on him, but that’s okay.

I think he’s almost done and she’s either almost done or done. Probably the best option is to get out sooner with a little less drama and take some lessons from this. The alternative is to keep trying to fix it until all feeling is gone, then break up with a nicely burned bridge in the background.

This is pretty much me. Used RIF, when it stopped working, I stopped going there regularly. Took a couple weeks to completely kick the habit, and a year of occasional use via search engines, never even bothering to log in. Now I almost never go there. I’ll head there as a last resort if a search engine can’t find me a useful alternative for what I’m looking for.

He’s talking about the hardware and you’re talking about the software.

FYI, in at least parts of Canada, a vehicle can be jointly owned by spouses.

Aww, you made me think of Slashdot!

I’ve had white collar jobs where champagne breakfast was a thing, and blue collar jobs with heavy equipment where driving with any degree of intoxication had serious consequences but, surprisingly enough, not necessarily dismissal.

Also, decades ago, I worked with skilled laborers who would have a beer over lunch, and with concrete finishers who would drink a case of beer between 2 or 3 people while working. I feel like concrete finishers used to work for a flat dollar rate plus beer. If there was enough beer, they would stay all night long.

I don’t know about this, but nanosilver fluoride seems to be pretty effective and non staining.

Here’s a bit of a non-standard link with some information.
