In my archaeology/anthropology classes in college, we were taught to say “projectile points” instead of “arrowheads” for basically this reason.

I would be proud of being recognized at a local bakery, and similarly uncomfortable being recognized at a Taco Bell.

If only it were so easy. Certain prescriptions from certain doctors definitely helped, but nothing makes the pain go away.

I have a bad habit where I stop feeling bad about not eating the food once it’s in the freezer, and then it doesn’t come out until I’m cleaning months later. And then all of my Tupperware is in the freezer.

There’s a middle ground that I think a lot of people miss, and that played an important role in me eating out less.

You can buy things like frozen dumplings, frozen pre-cooked chicken, etc… This isn’t going to be as cost efficient as making from scratch, but it’s wayyyy better than eating out all the time.

I’ve been learning to cook by weaning myself off of ordering out, to frozen pre-cooked stuff (that you should never grow 100% out of, my god dumplings freeze so well), to scratch.

An important dubstep of that has been taking something like pre-cooked dumplings with a homemade soup. It’s like buying level2 ingredients, something a little closer to human readable.

Sorry this edible just kicked in, I think I got lost in the metaphor in that last paragraph.

Something that worked for me is always shopping for a specific meal. Instead of buying ground beef because I might want burgers or tacos or chili, I instead buy everything for a chili. It’s lead to less “oh I forgot I had this beef in here” and more “I better use this nice, fresh beef to make chili because otherwise I’ll go hungry.

It’s not a perfect system, and seems really obvious in hindsight, but has been a paradigm shift for me.

You might call it a shopping arcade. Pretty common in many cities, and likely is a public street, despite having a covering.

I think people forget how much heavy lifting the Clone Wars series did for their relationship, and Anakin’s character in general. Canonically they really were like brothers, but this is not portrayed clearly in film.

Same. School firewall blocked based on host names, so we all learned a lot about the hosts file so we could manually set all of the IPs Minecraft needed to authenticate.

Even more so, a pretend friendly stranger that’s documented as being in your location.

Knew it would be this. I made the noise immediately on seeing the picture

I could totally be misremembering, but I seem to recall the Ezio trilogy being praised for accurate cities. So not the original originals, but probably some of the best.

This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

Ooh, I know this one. The shirt is in my still unpacked suitcase from that trip three years ago.

My mom found three gifts I bought for her in the same suitcase 6 months after I returned.

I’m tearing up, it’s so beautiful

Isekai is religion for the modern era. “Oh, don’t be sad he was hit by truck-kun, he’s in a better place now.”

Note, I’m all for this. If I die in an accident, I firmly expect friends and family to workshop a story plot at the funeral

It’s one of the few single-use kitchen appliances I find completely justifiable.

I have an ongoing theory that every time you locate what you’re looking for in a Microsoft project, a random number generator determines if it will be moved, and where to

My god all these admin centers and their old and new versions. Four places to do any one thing and maybe one of them has documentation that’s up to date.

There are at least three locations to disable user accounts. Two of them require a setting of “True” and the third one “False”. Drives me mad.

I feel like I’ve not seen a bug outside of my home in years
