Have you ever played on boardgamearena? It's a website where you can join a bunch of board games with people around the world. When it's your turn, you have a certain number of hours or days to make your move (kinda like old timey chess by mail) and then go back to your life. You can be in many games at a time.

This is what my Mom always does. If you grow up eating sauce without sugar, then it it just tastes wrong.

I'm not saying my sauce is better than sauce with sugar in it, I'm just saying that's not what I grew up with. For me, I can only rate sauces on a scale of 1-"exactly my Mom's"

If it's early and I'm under caffeinated, then I drink more coffee. If that doesn't help or apply, then I assume I'm dehydrated and drink water. If that doesn't help I try to take a nap. Usually by the time I run down the checklist it's close enough to bedtime that I just turn in early. If none of that helps and/or I have stuff to do, then I reach for ibuprofen just because we are more likely to have that on hand than Tylenol.

I'm aware of all the dissatisfaction with DST, but hear me out... What if we just weren't going hard enough? I propose Runners Savings Time. We set the clock forward like, 4-5 hrs. It'll be dark during working hours, but then you'll have some time to go for a run or do whatever during the daylight.

Around 2010ish I was thoroughly enjoying some Bells Two Hearted and other IPAs. My brother (2 years older) tried arguing that bud light is man's beer, and my beers were fruity and girly. It certainly doesn't matter to me, but the irony of choosing bud light, out of all the macro beers, is just 👨‍🍳😘>

😳😳 Hey, I'm a cishet man but thinking about joining jean-luc for some tea, earl grey, hot, really gives me the vapors.

Lol, Hilarious and justified but I get quite compliant around people who could stand between me and a SCUBA/ bachelor party trip.

Not exactly. I'm kind of a "learn what I need to to get by" person. I'm not really a Linux person... but my old laptop took 15 minutes to boot up, and the hardware obsoleted out of windows updates, so now I have Linux.

I ran out of space in Google Photos. I would've happily bought more space but they told me I'd have free backup space forever if I compressed my photos. When they changed that policy I realized I was being jerked around. So then I got a raspberry pi, and learned how to (barely) set up a server to run Immich.

I liked browsing reddit, but, again, I don't like being jerked around, so here I am.

I learned this about United this summer. Except the language they used didn't specifically rule out roller bags, it called them "full-sized carryon". I showed up with a checked bag and a small carryon. The desk agent told me wheels make it a "full-sized" regardless of the dimensions. Fortunately, I was able to stuff a bunch of stuff a bunch of my crap into my checked SCUBA bag, and repack my regs and underwear into the backpack I was bringing anyways.

Note: This was on an International flight so I REALLY didn't appreciate feeling like I was flying on a budget airline.

Do blow-molds technically count?

...As was the fashion of the time.

Also, I did set my mom with an account on my immich server, but last time I had her phone iOS wasn't playing nice with the automatic backup. I think maybe I'll take another swing at this.
