"Flip a coin. When it's in the air, you'll know which side you're hoping for." - Arnold Rothstein in Boardwalk Empire

I still wear a mask but its the fact that others don't think logically about this stuff still that has me most up in arms. Dad has been sick since weekend, mom says I'm going to come over to your house to see her grandkids. Mom comes over and 4 hours later they call me to tell me they both have covid and tested positive. Mom tells me that dad had been sick since weekend....in my head im fuming.

fingers crossed. Just hoping since she wasn't sick, that our 1 hour visit will spare my fam somehow.

Our house has all gold colored fixtures and normal knobs.

I got really fed up with having to drop everything to open the garage door that I purchased a black lever type knob so now can open the door with my elbow/foot/bags

Doesn’t match anything else in the house right now but it’s my single favorite change I’ve made to our house

I've done things along this line too many times since having kids lol

Worst lately was trying to get a juice box for the kid and intending to throw away the straw wrapper but instead throwing away the straw and being left with a kid pissed at having no straw to drink her juice box

Most these guys get paid in stock options.

They likely request it to be timed this way to get more shares of the company off the back of the bad news dump.

It’s like insider trading but on the buy side soo not as likely to be investigated.

from the thumbnail, thought it was the Simpsons car haha

underrated part about attending Indian weddings is getting to wear colorful attire

Hire a permanent live-in nanny so wife and I could sleep soundly and stress less.

That’s first, the rest I would take time and decide and tell no one except the wife

Thank you for this, one part I'm still struggling with and would appreciate help...

How do I subscribe to a community that is on another instance and have it show up on my account? Example - I have an account here at lemmy.world, but there's https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy community and I'd love to see their posts in one place on my lemmy.world account. How do I do this? If I navigate to that link, it asks me to create a lemmy.dbzer0 account to subscribe so i dont think i'm following the correct pathway

eta - nevermind i figured it out. going to leave my comment here for others though

so what you have to do is search for that community on your own instance and then select it and subscribe that way. Can't follow the link directly to the instance, but rather have to search using lemmy.world's search and follow the link from there. So for instance: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

(if there's a more straightforward way, i'd still appreciate tips)

Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.

Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.

He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).

He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately

Not quite the same, but my wife bought me one of those silicon rings for $35 because I was finding the metal one from our actual wedding to be too uncomfortable.

Love it and only thing I’m annoyed about now is how much I spent on the original ring vs this awesome cheap ring.

Feel the same about Aston Villa’s sub. Luckily we have a discord that was shared in the sub a few weeks ago and a decent amount of people are there but discord is harder to keep tabs on to me

Anímate the first 100 issues of TMNT’s current comic run by IDW and keep it to a 1 issue per episode pacing.

What do you put in your cargo pockets normally?

Asking bc I always found them super uncomfortable, esp if I use those pockets for anything with a little weight. Even something like a kids pacifier would annoy me rubbing against my thigh/knee so I realize they’re just not for me but just curious

I’d hire you as my personal chef

Brilliant!

Just curious, are we sure the numbers reported are “net gain” and not “number of new subscribers”? Distinction being “number of new subscribers” would be all the people that signed up, and “net gain” would be all the people that signed up & subtract those that canceled?

Earnings reports are always full of word tricks to paint the prettiest picture so I’m just curious if we know the net number?

For example, all those articles that came out a week after the change went into effect were bullshit bc they didn’t take into account people who canceled and still had days left til their end of month, instead they only captured the 3 days after the policy change and Netflix got all the media to report this awesome stat for them.

thanks, glad those sort of autopopulate once you start typing ! and then the community name. Would probably screw it up if it didnt haha

Tevas are still cool, especially if you find them comfy

Footwear you should still prioritize comfort

Cheers, thank you.
