Maybe I should move into a truck like that one Google guy so I can afford a house in my mid 30s

the trick is to work next to a theme park, buy an annual pass, and eat twice a day there for $150/yr for three years.

While helping my mother sort through decades' worth of accumulated junk, we found this thing, an Eico 3070 solid-state amplifier:



Is it worth trying to clean up and sell this? I can see similar devices on eBay listing for hundreds of dollars, but I have no idea if they're getting any takers, let alone how much work it is to e.g. verify the thing works properly.

what if i want to move the fat elsewhere

bodies do not work that way.

the trick to losing fat is calories out > calories in. the easiest way to do this is by increasing the first half of the inequality by lifting a weight and raising your heartrate for a while. build some muscle by working out. you'll look better and feel better plus you get the added bonus of an increased natural caloric burn rate.

not possible. you cannot relocate fat other than via surgical means. if you want some cake, do some squats. that's how you earn the thiccness.

you are also quite literally at the absolute best time in your life to work out. right now is your peak opportunity. start lifting weights, doing cardio, and eating a lot. you'll gain weight in very good ways while losing fat in the places you want to lose it. by working out now and building a good foundation, you set yourself up for a much happier aging process as your desiccated husk begins to wither and deteriorate.

i have some yellow and black wasp of some sort and a tiny lil nest behind my security camera on my porch. they don’t gently caress with me or my doggo, so i don’t gently caress with them. this armistice will end if any of that happens, but these dudes don’t seem aggressive.

i also have a growing golden orb weaver on the side of my porch and i can’t wait til she’s got a legspan of a few inches.

i have similar small wasp things on my porch ever year. they never get larger than 5-10 little cells, and they don't bother me or my animals. they're just paper wasps and aren't really prone to attacking people or animals. if these were yellow jackets they would be long gone.

the best fridge story is how a dent in a basement freezer led to tori owning a home.

Mr. Nice!
Oct 13, 2005

the garbage disposal removal was retaliation for tori rightfully complaining that the landlord’s people dented his basement fridge or freezer. the landlord spitefully removed the garbage disposal which triggered the lawsuit where tori was give a down payment for his house in settlement after the jackass landlord showed up pro se to small claims court. the judge called him a stupid rear end in a top hat as he claimed to be unemployed (yet owned 75 homes) and awarded judgment to tori which was appealed and then settled.

here’s how you eat healthier: eat mostly fresh plants you cook yourself. you want plenty of leafy greens and a good mix of everything. don’t just get a ton of fruit.

go to the store and buy fresh produce. cook said food. eat the food. you can bulk prep the stuff you have to cook and set it up so you have a week’s worth of meals at once.

an example i like: roast some carrots in the oven at 400F for 15-20 minutes then toss some in some asparagus on the same pan for another 15-20 minutes til they’re crispy. you can do two full cookie sheets of veggies. that will get you sides for 4-5 meals.

you can prep all sorts of things in similar fashion. also significant amount of the cooking time is literally just time in the oven or whatnot so you can pretty easily do other things while stuff is cooking.

cut back on things with added sugars (basically anything prepackaged) and heavy carbs unless you’re doing things to burn off those extra calories.

for meat, getting fattier cuts of meat (chicken thighs vs breast) is ok because that’s where the flavor is, but you should generally stick with unprocessed stuff when possible. try to not just deep fry everything.

cool food hack: grocery store rotisserie chicken will save a lot of time at a fair price and you can make tons of relatively healthy/wholesome stuff with it for a few days after. if you pull/shred the meat it freezes well and is great for soups, quesadillas, pastas, etc

yup. this is a really good tip, as well.

really you just want fresh cooked stuff as much as possible and avoid heavily fried stuff with a bunch of added sugars/carbs.

oh, you're hot.

drink lots of water and make sure you're getting electrolytes. fans need to be on and blowing at you. if the humidity is low, go outside with a water hose, rig it so that it's spraying a mist, and chill in the mist.

ice pack on the forehead is pretty good, too. you could fill the bath tub with ice and take an ice bath.

the heat isn't going to stop so you can't stop your cooling activities. if eating popsicles is the only thing that helps, then eat a popsicle every two minutes.

Mr. Nice!
Oct 13, 2005

not even joking - if you really need to cool off rapidly (as in you're suffering from a heat injury), a popsicle up the bum can solve a lot of problems.

there have seriously been studies of basically using frozen dildos on rats to treat heat exhaustion and it works extremely well.

the whole “our buildings retain heat” thing is silly and implies american homes aren’t likewise insulated. it gets much loving colder in a lot of the usa than it ever does on terf island. homes in the states are also built to maintain heat.

the issue is they’re not set up to provide any cooling, not that houses are insulated.

someone somewhere one time put my phone number by mistake as their number for their walmart grocery pickup. every single time they place an order, i get text alerts about their substitutions and everything. i've asked walmart to remove my phone number from their system. my only option, they said, is to block the number.
