  • I keep tons of meat and cheese in the fridge, and the only time it smelled was when the MIL spilled milk in it and neither cleaned it up nor told someone about it so the more able bodied could take care of it.

  • Sounds similar to a job I had at an old folks home.

    Throw wage theft and other DoL labor violations in.

    I was happy to hear to hear when the state shut them down.

    Just wish I had been older and less naive, I should have documented and reported myself, but I was a dumb kid.

  • Not so much at the time. Just messy in a biohazardous way.

    Now the next day, sans booze... Yeah. Basically butterflied my finger a bit.

    I'm not sure I could identify every type of pain, but that was certainly one of them.

  • The problem isn't the customer's expectations (within rational limits of course) the problem is all the levels of managent giving the customer satisfaction because they don't understans, and always forget thr last part about taste.

    I know, that if I go to a Walmart and start a big enough fuss, Walmart will give as little as they can (to often monetarily desperate) to get them to stop causing a scene.

    I worked in electronics, and per protocol had to inspect a returned PS2. It was physically beat up, had paint splotches on it, and it would not power on, and thr serial number was missing.

    I said no. Simple as that. Not paid enough to fight customers. They wanted a manager. Two hours later they walked out with fucking cash.

  • My mom would have to come in and put a password into the BIOS to boot up when I got in trouble when I was younger.

    I was also punished by being made to go play outside with the neighborhood kids lol.

    They wouldn't stop me from reading, and if they grounded me I'd just be like whatever, I have three new books from the library lol.

  • If you think that's ingesting, look into silent migraines.

    Essentially, you get all the physiological issues with migraines except the pain.

    So being sensitive to light and sound, loud noises, nausea, the whole shebang, just no pain.

    Also, interesting bit of theory, in Alice in Wonderland, the growing/shrinking and dilation of space is thought to be a side effect of migraines and its thought the author suffered from them.

    Its actually called Alice in Wonderland syndrome.

    I've experiened it myself, if your heads been fucky and seems like that hallway got longer, or that road got shorter, it could be a side effect of a migraine.

  • I can understand not wanting to pay a kid for lawn work, I've been broke before. Just say no thank you and go on with life.

    That being said, we hire kids in our neighborhood all the time.

    We have two girls (9 and 6, I think, never met them, grandma drives and "supervises") who come pick up dog poop, and we've had a kid for a couple years who turned mowing yards in the summer into an LLC and he just hired his first employee to help out with client growth.

    I know if he wasn't a white blonde kid who looks halway decent (long hair, which just makes me jealous, but boomers would have a fit) then the Karen's would call the cops.

    Someone in the neighborhood called the cops about a black woman going through mailboxes. It was a postal worker, in uniform, in a clearly labeled mail truck. I just don't get it.

  • I've had intractable migraine pain, and yes I've seen the docs, have meds (that usually knock it out) but sometimes a head massage is needed, especially if you've been stressed for a while.

    The temple areas, as well as big muscles in your neck on either side of the spine. I'm lucky my wife seems to know the exact pressure points to hit.

    That's more of a tension headache fix, but sometimes its part of it.

    Being a long term patient of neurologists (migraines, seizures) and having a wife who works in neurology I tend to believe the doctor she worked with who stated that once you have migraines, all headaches are a migraine clinically. They're just more or lwwa debilitating based on severity.

  • I can see rules against necroing being needed for some communities.

    For example, a guide written at the release of an MMO would be pretty useless when you have games like Everquest running for 25+ years.

    Telling some to "just camp" an item (for example, the Circlet of Shadows) is useless because the version they're talking about no longer drops. The info is no longer valid, because the pre-nerf version was super useful, the current version has some use at super low levels (too low to solo camp the item) but with the way the game has grown and expanded, its not even necessary. You can unlock an ability that does the same, eventually.

    Bumping that post would at best be a massive waste of time or currency to acquire.

  • I run a server on unraid.

    Honestly, it works as a way to cut your teeth with a type 1 hypervisor.

    Fairly user friendly, and the community seems to offer a lot of support.

    That being said, I mainly use it as a file server and a place to host containerized stuff that doesn't need to bog down a gaming rig.

    I got the hardware for free, so other than upgading the CPU to 10 cores (used, 50 dollars, not bad) and paying for electricity, it just churns along doing its thing.

  • As some who has been on at least an anti depressant for 30ish years, I found that some absolutely can numb you at all emotional levels.

    I lived like this for a long time, and it was better than being unmedicated.

    Then I saw a different doc, and adjusted my meds around the time I met my wife.

    In thr beginning I had a lot of difficulties, not because I lacked emotion, I just hadn't dealt with any strong emotions for 20 years so it all felt very new. Love, anger, frustration, all of it came back. Imagine being a kid again, real little, and you can't even name how you feel because its so foreign to you.

    That being said, every medication effects everyone differently.

    For example, Abilify (adjunct medication for depression) made me restless, edgy, and just miserable. I would go for walks to try to burn through that uneasy feeling. I'm talking multiple walks a day. My ass has (and will continue) to say that the fridge is too far away and too much trouble to get off the couch, in comparison.

    A good friend of mine is on it and has no issues, helped with her depression as advertised.

    Sadly, it involves some trial and error to find what works for you.

    Be honest with your docs. Don't tell them you're "fine" because you're functional to society, so that must be good enough. Its not.

  • Wait, I've heard of oxtail as a delicious southern dish, but never had the opportunity to try it.

    Is it really just a generic cow tail?

    English is stupid, and I say that as a native speaker.

  • I don't have one, so I can't speak for myself.

    But my coworker, who works later into the night (before I take over the night shift) seems to falll asleep playing it most days.

    While I disagree with this on a professional level, I'm not about to stir the pot if his work is getting done.
