Life of Brian is arguably better for a ensmuggening Python based education.

idk but it’s possibly the most pathetic power tripping of all time.

Yep I don’t even filter out blue light. ZZzZ.

Evolution is considered a success if the animal lives long enough to successfully mate and nothing else matters to mindless evolution. At least cats don’t have curly tusks that borrow through the skull if they live long enough like that infamous boar species I can’t remember the name of.

No way! Manglement isn’t part of the union :P

I work on the floor in a pretty specialized role, so I can always just use the excuse of having to attend to any given machine coincidentally whenever they want to have a meeting I don’t feel like attending.

None of the managers really understand what we do, so they don’t challenge the excuses ever.

Sure whatever. Heat exchanger is heat exchanger.

Username checks out. That’s interesting, I don’t doubt these experiences happen. In fact I thought you and OP would be the more common experience.

Acknowledged OP edit aside…

I can’t say I’ve experienced that illusion myself. I do wonder if there’s something to your question that has to do with Circadian Rhythm or waking up more when you see sunlight.

That I didn’t know!

In the future, buy loose kernels in jars. They’re the cheapest popcorn in the store. For now you could just tear open the bags.

I don’t think this is challenging enough to NEED a glass lid but it does help of course. You can just go by ear. Once the popping frequency dies off, stop.

Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, you won’t reach it making popcorn. I’ll explain why. Add some to the pan. I use quite a bit, I like it better than butter so it’s the only fat I add.

Optionally buy the salts/fake butter combo flavor cinemas use. Sift it over cold pan to taste. Otherwise, use what you like for seasoning.

Turn the stove to max heat.

Dump in kernels.

Cover and wait until a small handful of kernels to start popping.

TURN OFF THE STOVE. The residual heat in the stove/pan will fully pop all your kernels without burning the earliest kernels to pop. Shake your pan gently now and then to get the kernels stuck in the already popped corn to drop back down.

That’s it!

My roommate was reading over my shoulder (I browse on the living room TV sometimes) and he audibly groaned at this which fucking sent me lmao.

No bee has ever stung me without cause, but I don’t have killer bees living here. I do wonder if bees often get falsely accused for wasp behavior, but idk.

You’ll be fine for now so long as you’re not already a Person of Interest of a three letter agency.

despite never feeling safe or in control behind the wheel

I have anxiety and learning to drive was a temporary hell for me too. I don’t really have a choice unless I want to work at McDonalds until I die of old age. The career opportunities aren’t accessible without a car. That’s big empty Alberta with shite underfunded public transportation for you though.

If do you eventually have to drive, better not wait or the fear after that crash will cripple you the longer the gap is.

So the question is really whether or not you can get by without learning the skill. You do eventually gain confidence via practice. However yeah, there’s always inherent danger from you and any human sharing the road with you. Everyone will make mistakes. Some end very badly. Ultimately it’s your choice. You should know by now if you can potentially survive independently without a vehicle or not where you live.

This you can ignore if you don’t respond to everything new or scary in your life like you are with driving:

I had a friend who spoke like this all the time and she ended up being the living embodiment of Learned Helplessness. I could elaborate, but it’s a dreadful story and ends in a very early totally preventable death. I worry your loved ones are enabling you here by dealing with the hard stuff. The people you crashed into by your BF, and your dad for the aftermath.

Out of Joel Haver’s insane challenge of making 12 feature films in 12 months that nobody watches because they just want the cartoon filter shorts, I loved these two films:

I liked 2 others, but these were the strongest of the bunch IMO.

Nope!

My appliances don’t drift much at all, but my Nissan car is fucked. That dash clock drifts by 5 minutes monthly.

They’ve stopped using exposed speaker grilles so you can’t shove a screw driver into the speakers anymore :(

Ad blaring pumps are in Canada too. Shell is the most obnoxious.
