This is my go to as well. They know way more about hair and style than me. My haircut life got way easier when I have no expectations and just let them do their thing.

well deserved, an entertaining read!

I only ever had the soylent in the bottles. I was really surprised when i tried unflavored soy milk and it was almost the exact same flavor as the white bottles! Soylent is just soy milk with vitamins in it!

personal anecdote; I spent a year barefoot as a teen after dropping out of high school. The only time I had anything on my feet was orthodontist visits they said i couldn’t go on without flip flops but nowhere else cared.

After about a year of this the callous on the bottom of my feet was so thick i could walk short distances on summer asphalt with zero pain and got a small square of windshield glass embedded in my foot and it just plucked right out and left a square hole, zero pain at all. The pads were about 3/4 cm thick at the ball of my foot and 1/2cm at the heel.

I did this after reading about this effect in a book and wanting to see if it was true and it really was!

there are some hints!

lol I bet i remember that thanks

oof i meant Medicaid I always confuse them. We aren’t old or disabled we were just poor for a while. Thank you i fixed that!

Each state names their Medicaid implementation something different. In Washington they call it AppleHealth and in Oregon it’s Oregon Health Plan.

I haven’t seen any other posters mention Medicare/Medicaid. I am about to lose Medicaid (for good reasons) but I have used it in California, Washington and Oregon and overall it’s a lot better than nothing.

Medicaid has covered full childbirth expenses, a ligament replacement surgery, years of mental health therapy, my HRT, dental care, glasses (in some states) and everything else pretty much. I have paid zero out of pocket except for glasses in one state that doesn’t cover them for adults and i think Washington didn’t cover Dental maybe.

The care is NOT as good as when I had $700/mo techbro insurance for instance i hurt my back (ruptured disc) and medicare doctors refused to even image it because i can walk and stand so they just say to eat ibuprofen. I’m really excited to get private insurance and actually get an MRI and treatment because the back part sucks.

But the country hasn’t left me to die in the streets. Medicaid and SNAP have been feeding my family and taking care of our health care for a couple years now while we pivoted and my partner went to school (also paid for by the gov) and now we are back to the productive portion of society. Social safety nets work and the left coast at least has useful ones if you meet the criteria and have the capacity to jump through the hoops.

yeah also the AI shit in Messenger is annoying af. If you tap wrong suddenly you’re in ‘ai helper mode’ and have to exit out to finish your message.

my dad worked at a paint shop in the 80’s and a new guy tried to take a drink from the commercial pressure washer on his first (and last) day. He survived but needed a lot of facial surgery. You would assume anyone would immediately see that it’s not a good idea but nope!

that’s wild i’m scared to curl mine with both elbows on the table. One wrong move…

for school i use it to make outlines which are usually very good and then I use the class materials to flesh out the outlines in my own words. Getting straight A’s like this! One of my papers the teacher said it was the best one he had ever received on that assignment. All my words but ChatGPT told me what to include and in what order.

that’s @onlinepersona i believe although I dunno what instance is their home. They seem nice

it’s where CTRL was originally!

why they gave such valuable real estate to caps lock of all keys i will never understand

i rebind caps lock to control on all my machines.

it’s much easier to hit comfortably in that location making it a better meta key, usually stupidly big on most keyboards making it even better, and i literally never need caps lock, ever.
