I bought them recently and returned them after one night. The battery didn’t last even 2 hours and they kept disconnecting from my phone and turning off, but you can’t just turn them back on, you have to take them out of your ear and put them into the case to turn them back on. So many design flaws IMO.

For the last week, I’ve been the sickest I’ve ever been. Covid tests came back negative and as far as I know I haven’t had covid before, but I am miserable with all the symptoms you listed and I didn’t socializing at all.

I loved that she narrated the audio book, her accent is fantastic! I enjoyed her memoir. I don’t really remember how it ended, so maybe that part could have been tightened up. I mean, she is still so young, I wouldn’t expect her to have worked out a big overarching moral for her story yet. I hope she writes another as her career progresses.

This sounds like the schools don’t handle the payments for lunches. A third party does and as an electronic payment processor, they probably don’t provide a physical address where a check can be received.

Not sure if it’s really an accomplishment but I got out of a burnout that started in January. I’ve been in and out of burnout before but this time I set some personal boundaries and requested and received some accommodations from work. Now I feel better set up to maintain work-life balance.

I’m pretty adverse to fermented, pickled or spicy. Anything in the kimchi universe, big no thanks.

For me, it was What About Bob?

I think Minoxidil is the only thing proven to work. You can take it orally or apply it to the scalp via a serum or shampoo.

I found this. Seems like idiosyncrasy applies to human behaviors while anomaly indicates an unexpected variance in a system.

Thanks so much!

My nail art is all gel. It doesn’t chip and does “dry” until I’m ready, which let’s you do really cool stuff like this 3D pizza nail I did.

I’m into nail art, Seinfeld and watching my cats destroy my house… and I usually enjoy them all at once.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I ordered my free replacement. Glad I got the 3 year warranty.

That sounds absolutely adorable!

I got the litter robot. I’ve had it 9 months. I have a cat that loves to dig and the rubber liner doesn’t look like it’s going to hold up for more than 2 years because she scratches the same spot relentlessly, but I still love it. I’d buy a new one every other year if I needed to.

Interesting! I actually did a psychological assessment recently (naively thinking that autism would be included), so I completed the intelligence testing too. I think it was the WAIS2. I didn’t realize it would be included and I was in an extreme state of burnout but I still got a result of “superior” processing speed. It’s one metric that sometimes makes me question whether I could be autistic because so often the narrative is that autistics are slow processors, but your perspective and result indicates that I shouldn’t allow that to cloud my judgment.

Thanks for sharing that resource. I’ve gotten some validation from neurodivergent therapists and am okay with my self diagnosis for now.

I just got rejected by a primary care doctor because they “are not accepting new patients with PPO insurance”. I spend extra on a PPO because when I had an HMO they let me see a doctor but the doctor wouldn’t treat me because “insurance won’t cover it”. What an asinine system.

The Taycan has only been around a few years. Are these batteries that have been replaced or were the original cars tossed? I’m glad the batteries are getting additional use, I’m just afraid of how much other waste is being created. I know my boss leases a new Porsche every 3 years and it breaks my heart to think they aren’t getting resold and are getting destroyed.
