Why would it matter, then? Buy new milk, put it in the fridge wherever you want, finish the previous container, move new container to its proper spot.

This isn’t that difficult to solve.

A “lemming”, from the old lemmenapnowtrix.

Where do you think they learned that from?

This! 🥳

Also, depending on your location, getting a library card doesn’t require residence in its area. So, if your preferred library app shows a book/album/film, etc. isn’t available digitally, check another major city’s library catalog and sign up if they have it. Add that new login and boom. Bonus: each additional library membership makes that happen far less often. 🖖🏼

I like the way you garden!

Nah, blanching asparagus is mostly a holdover from catering SoP when it’s par-cooked first, fridged until day-of, and then seared for looks before being plated/pkgd & held at temp for service.

You can blanch yours, if that’s your preference, but they’ll lose that brightened snap to their structure and the thinner stalks (=/< ⌀5mm) risk just degrading into mush in the pan or on the plates. I’m not here to judge fellow anons’ varied and unknowable palates. Just the facts. 😁

How long have you been away from that other place, exactly? Do you really believe they’ll notice your absence? We wouldn’t, FWIW.

Caseless Rinderwurst is “an acquired taste”, but I wasn’t old enough to get a vote, back in the day. 😅

Re: asparagus, I’m a huge fan and love to prepare it simply, to let it really shine.

1. Snap the bottom sections off by hand-testing their break-points. (You can cut them afterward, if you prefer clean ends, but refrigerating them first can help keep those snapped edges crisp)

2. Zest and then juice a lemon and set aside.

3. Set your skillet/pan on High/Mid-high.

4. Bring ~1tsp/lb of a light oil (eg. veg, rapeseed, etc., not “olive”) close to its smoke point. (pay attn, don’t burn it, it can ignite!)

5. Add prepped asparagus (1.↑) to oil in pan and don’t move them (need that Maillard reaction)

6. Season w/ salt & pepper (kosher & cracked are my pref.)

7. Watch for a toasted, delicious crust forming on their pan-sides. (eyeball it, don’t meddle)

8. Use tongs (spatula if you’re brave/confident, or just roll them 180° if you’re unsure) to turn them to their opposite sides

9. sprinkle with lemon zest to taste (I add chili flake here) and wait for that sear again.

10. Remove from pan, and let rest on cooling rack for a couple minutes only (they’re less delicious when cold, but still amazing)

11. If you’re feeling froggy and aren’t trying to plate rapidly for a slew of guests, now’s a great moment to whip up a quick pan sauce (browned butter, herbed crême, white wine reduction, etc.) to drizzle over them during plating —otherwise, just plate and spritz lemon juice to finish.

Your toilet’s gonna smell suuuper loud afterward (why, asparagus, why?), but it’s worth it. 🥰

Buy a home? 🥹 If you’re in the US, you were born decades too late for that, citizen. 🤌🏼

“Added value”: prescribed, trickled-out, tiptoed smidgens of steps forward

“Enshittification”: unscripted, greed-backed, frantic, top-speed Thomas Salto tumbles into the corner and off the mat.

Yep, sounds about right. “Progress”.

Oh, I’m already on the Lifetime Hard Pass and it’s all but free —ad-free, slop-free, greed-free, bullshit-free, etc.

IIRC, the cost is ~$5/mo for upkeep, took me no time at all to set up, and I get to listen to/watch whatever the fuck I want, whenever & wherever I choose.

Fuck Plex. I hope it dies gurgling & terrified. 🥰

Flush? That implies water or maybe air. Neither are the elemental force of choice for the immense scope of that global waste mgmt project.

Maaan, I was scrolling way too fast and misread that as “pureed pork”. 😅🤢

Also, those asparagus look sumptuous!

IIRC, the larger a crop grows, the less flavorful it is. For example, most Award Winning Biggest vegetables are nigh inedible (to humans), and often are pulped for fertilizer, etc. after the contest. As a lifelong fan of rhubarb, the green stalk gives me pause in this regard, as well. 😅

Seconded!

That said, the voice acting seems 50/50 and I didn’t see any in-game footage of the progression systems in place. So far, just cutscenes, dialog, and combat clips. No skill trees, spells, abilities, combos, or allies’ collab options, to name some basics. Hrrm… 😶

Some areas may even have systems in place that force the defendant (corp/co) to pay said legal costs outside/on top of the awarded sum.

see: wage theft, workers comp, fee-shifting provisions (freq. labor violations, discrimination claims, environmental law, consumer protection, IP, etc.)

That said, here’s a relevant PSA, if that helps anyone here:

If you’ve experienced the following or similar issues with your employer:

• not getting your full break(s) during a shift (eg. being asked to come back early “for the team”),
• bathroom visits deducted from break time allotment,
• breaks deducted from your check incorrectly (usually in said employer’s favor)
• tips “adjusted” for any reason, incl. non-tipped positions (eg. mgmt) taking a percentage,
• wage “adjusted” by internal policy, despite local/state/federal requirements stating otherwise
• OT unpaid “for reasons”
• etc., etc.

… you should at least contact a local law firm specializing in employment/contract/labor law. Often enough, many will offer a free consultation to first clarify whether you have a case to work with, or what steps are still needed in order to move forward toward justice.

Keep in mind, fellow poors, there’s no obligation for you to ultimately choose any attorney(s) you consult with (don’t forget: start w/ free consults in this exploratory stage). FWIW, most of those that I’ve contacted over the decades seem personally driven to champion for us poors in their work. (Anecdotal, yes, but earnestly hoping it helps) Which may be related to the fact that it’s the judgements against said shitheel corpos that the attorneys get their wages from, instead of their client, who’s yet another victim of normalized, unchecked greed. ✊🏼

It’s risky AF in that it’s so far without precedent, and thus could prove to be a complicated endeavor that could very well sap the progress of the former, if attached to those efforts. (IANALE)

Yes, and that’s why screen-inward is the better orientation vs screen facing all that interaction with those outside objects, etc. 🫪

To clarify? Oh thanks, sweetie. 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄

Yeah, that model strikes me as some boomer logic.

Um. “Bend”? Thafuq are you doing with your pocket— actually, don’t answer that. 🤫😅
