the worst mess I’ve ever had to clean up from a dog was when she puked up dog shit. and I’ve unfortunately cleaned up a lot of diarrhea and puke due to these sensitive assholes lol
that was disgusting. I’m usually fairly good at detaching from the grossness of the situation, but something about scooping puked up dog shit into a dust pan nearly made me vomit
the weird thing is our poop-eating dog isn’t the one that’s food motivated. she sometimes has to be coaxed to finish her meal before she lets the other dog in to check if there’s any leftovers. it’s not like she’s hungry. she just sometimes sees poop in the yard and thinks ‘yeah I should scarf that down before somebody notices’
they both eat rabbit poop and grass, at least rabbit poop isn’t problematic I guess

oh thankfully I don’t have to wait for it to happen later, it’s a struggle to make it outside — once they start, it’s happening. I’m just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower
friggin’ bastards beg for dinner as early as possible but then puke in the morning if they haven’t eaten in the past 14 hours

yuuuuuup
if I choose to actually get up when I wake up naturally at the right point in the sleep cycle but it’s 17 minutes before I want to wake up, I’m sure awake in a second or two
if I choose to ignore that and go back to sleep for 23 minutes, the bmit takes a few minutes to fully wake up nowadays
if my dog is standing on my chest making a hoarking sound, I’m out of bed on my way out the bedroom door yelling at her to follow me before the other one even gets up

I really want a toaster oven. just not enough to have bothered to buy one
I’ve got an air fryer that I use pretty often, but a toaster oven would be more useful to me. good to know there’s ones with convection / air frying ability now, neat
I’m lucky to have tons of counter space for gadgets. and yeah not running the oven in the summer is fantastic, as I like it cooooold in the house

I did it for six months straight around 7-8 years ago, and then on and off as required since.
I was fine with it when I was enjoying work and my work had variety in it - I could do my regular day with a bit of OT in the office, then go build stuff with my hands for a few hours in the shop.
At another job after that, 60s were more difficult because it was work from home, but I still did them as required because I could set my own schedule for the OT and half the time I was drinking and gaming simultaneously (some of the tasks required me to do something and wait on the computer to do compute). But still, the variety of work was key - I had to be able to change tasks and spend at least 10 hours on something that was interesting and different.
A 60 hour work week is stupid, imo. It takes up far too much of your personal time. Like anything, you can do it for a period of time, but it isn’t sustainable as it starts to eat into other aspects of your life.
It’s taken me nearly a year to transition away from a 50 hour standard week and constantly feeling like I should be working more. I had to learn how to just sit at home and do nothing, like drinking a coffee watching dawn come for ten minutes uninterrupted.
idk just sharing my experience. summary is that it’s possible short term if you enjoy it, but you need specific circumstances to be met. I was lucky my job gave me autonomy and flexibility, it wouldn’t have worked otherwise. and obviously I got paid overtime, I’m not working for free. and at both jobs I felt like I was appropriately compensated. I quit the first job when they stopped compensating me appropriately. I toned down the extra work at the second in the same situation.

I used to know someone who would regularly rate headaches/migraines as a 10 when I asked them how bad it was, and like, no, it’s clearly not a 10, because you’re standing up talking to me. A 10 is beyond curled up in the fetal position unable to open your eyes through the pain. I get that you are used to these headaches, and can overcome a lot of the pain - but that’s still not a fucking 10, that’s like a 6 or 7 at most. Lying about it means I can’t accurately judge how to help you.
I’ve had tension headaches where I’ve spent hours on the shower floor in the middle of the night and I’d still rate them at most an 8 for the very worst ones where I couldn’t get up

I love that game, spent hundreds of hours in it a while back, and don’t remember fuck all about the store.
it’s a shoot 'em up loot game, and it does a great job of it IMO
absolutely a brainded activity though. it and Bioshock are two different frames of mind when you’re playing them

nowhere is this more instantly apparent than when somebody is driving at you with the power of 9000 pure white suns as their headlights and you flash them twice to indicate “oi mate I can’t fuckin’ see” and then you see their headlights throw light up above the trees because they turned their “high” beams on to say “fuck you cunt I don’t care”

Samsung just improved my user experience by removing “silent” from the available options when pressing the volume down button for notifications/ringer — now I need to open a menu to press a touchscreen button a couple times.
thank you so much for improving my user experience for me, Samsung, this is really what I’ve been missing for the past decade

my assumption is that 24 hours is too short a time frame to show something, unless we’re talking about the spike at the end
