DWI Airport (Baltimore/DC) has bathrooms with these lights too. Very useful.

Programs are working better on Linux these days, but I use both the Adobe Suite as well as AutoCAD regularly, neither of which are supported by Linux. Otherwise I’d switch.

tamal3 ,

I need CAD software, but I don’t think AutoCAD runs on Linux.

My small school district typically only allows teachers to coach, but it’s a huge burden on teachers. We want the kids to have access to sports and clubs, but golly, please just do a background check on and/or train a community member who actually WANTS to coach.

I’ve been using my homemade buckwheat pillow for about 5 years now, and it’s still doing great. The hulls are surely degrading, but even if it’s different than it was, it’s still very comfortable as is.

tamal3 ,

I think they’re Japanese in origin.

tamal3 ,

Please say it’s the hull. Mice would be living in my pillow if it were anything edible to them.

I’ve been using my buckwheat hull pillow for about 5 years, too, and it’s holding up great. I included a zipper when I made it, so I could refresh the stuffing, but I haven’t ever needed to.

Deleted: I replied to the wrong comment.

tamal3 ,

Have you looked into mattress materials, too? I bought a latex mattress a few years ago, which is pretty good and should last, but I’ve always been curious about other options.

tamal3 ,

They are buckwheat hulls. It would be disastrous to stuff your pillow or mattress with something mice find delicious.

Amazing recast of “the Life of Brian”

Outrage over ‘massacre’ in Gaza as Israel rescued four hostages (www.theguardian.com)

At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation....

tamal3 ,

Your first point is not true: Israel has said it will not end its war once the hostages are freed.

tamal3 ,

Well the families of 64 newly dead children agree, and will continue the hated and animosity toward their killers. Where does it end?

tamal3 ,

You know you’re talking to some women on this forum, right? And that we’re not some monolithic group that only likes pretty, rich, white men?

You’re coming across like an incel… Which, you know, probably isn’t going to get you very far with most women. Stop being a troll and actually take some of the suggestions here to heart.

Running is surprisingly fun once you get in shape enough to enjoy it – and has an effect on what i eat bc planning to go running later in the day has a pretty big effect on how mindfully i consume. I can’t have a huge meal or chug water last minute and feel good while running.

tamal3 ,

Mmm food is delicious. I just ate a whole wheat sourdough pastry from a local bakery – it was a bialy with caramelized onions. A very perfect summer Saturday snack.

tamal3 ,

The kid was in the crib? That’s confusing.

I’m interviewing for a job that has a similar set-up: 8:30 - 5:30 with a required 1 hr lunch break. Any idea why that lunch is required?

The hours are a red flag to me, but I’ve been a teacher for the last 6 years so I’m not sure exactly what I’m getting into. I have a 2nd interview coming up, but I can’t get a read on whether they’re trying to make sure I’m taking the job seriously, or if I’m headed into an abusive work situation. Any ideas?

tamal3 ,

2:30 pm or 14:30, that’s just an 8 hr day plus lunch.

tamal3 ,

I have questions.

tamal3 ,

I don’t smell stinkbugs, either… Apparently that’s also genetic.

But have you smelled ladybugs? Absolutely foul.

tamal3 ,

I don’t love strawberry jam, but on pb&j it’s the best.

tamal3 ,

My style, exactly! But even my $20 grinder works wonders compared to pre-ground coffee. I’ve thought about updating that component but I make pretty good coffee as is.

tamal3 ,

This is the first I’ve heard of this device. How fully might it replace my smartphone? I see it does messaging, photos, and has access to the Google Play Store. Does it play music? Does it render Google Maps? I love e-readers, and though while I’ve been impressed by the Kindle, I do detest Amazon.

I was interested in the Lightphone when it came out, but it was too pricey and I’m still going strong on my Pixel 3a. I’ll need to move on someday though… Thanks for any info.

tamal3 ,

Me too! I have a stack of maybe 7 small metal bowls, and they’ve been amazing for prep. What are the mixing bowls you refer to? Just slightly steeper walls so nothing gets out while stirring?

tamal3 ,

Did you go with a name brand? A refurb? I hope this is my next luxury purchase.

tamal3 ,

Headphones to sleep with. It’s a big stretchy headband with flat speakers sewn in, and it works on Bluetooth (speakers are removable with a little effort to wash the band). I’ve always needed stories to fall asleep, and now I can’t believe how many years I spent propping my phone just-so against my ear to not bother my sleeping partner.

Game changer for sleepless me.

tamal3 ,

I set a timer to turn it off after 45 minutes or so, but it’s much better than not falling asleep at all. And at 3:00 when I wake up again, I set another 45 minute timer. I’m not sure what the issue would be with my sleep when I’m only listening to droning voices. Maybe if the symphony snare drum kicked in it would be disruptive, but what I listen to is almost white noise with words.

I smoke weed to fall asleep nightly. That’s also very helpful.

tamal3 ,

Running. I don’t think I ran a consecutive mile until at least age 28, but now i love to run.

tamal3 ,

A good playlist and somewhere interesting to explore make it great, but I also just love running. I bring running shoes when I travel: there’s nothing like running through a new city as a tourist.

tamal3 ,

I always research unsafe areas for tourists when traveling to a new city, so when I run with my phone map I have a general idea of where I should avoid. Otherwise, I just turn down random streets, though populated and well lit ones. As to large crowds, I have only had this issue occasionally: just be ready to walk and don’t be a nuisance to others. If it’s a rural area, I mostly worry about surprise hills, not safety.

If it’s a foreign country I am especially cautious as running is not really a hobby in many places. I wanted to go for a run by myself in Guatemala, but eventually decided that i wouldn’t outside of very touristy areas or very rural areas. I had a great time running alone in downtown Montreal with minimal research. It depends on the country, so pay attention to local cultural norms and dress codes.

A cape with a snack pouch! Sounds like an accessory for a skirt without pockets.

tamal3 ,

My neighbors come in two main flavors: they’re all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I’m just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!

tamal3 ,

Well, people still tie dogs to trees for their entire lifetimes in the area i live in. Though, it’s not uncommon for these fucks to also have another dog that lives inside the house. I’m not sure they care that much about their children, either…

What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?

Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There’s efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn’t be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it’s almost...

My city’s most common tagging these days might be “dadbob”. I see it everywhere.

tamal3 ,

When i need to think something through to myself i often start a recording app on my phone and literally talk it out. It helps narrow down the swirling and distracting thoughts, even if i never go back to the recording later. Is that adhd or a failing inner voice?

I never really understand what people are taking about when they say they have an inner monologue or don’t. Sometimes i think in words, sometimes i think in swirls and images, sometimes i don’t think…

tamal3 ,

No, the records of families at the impoverished school I work at suggest money has nothing to do with it. You wouldn’t want to hear what some of these kids experience.

tamal3 ,

I watched two twelve-year-old children take a four-hour reading exam today. They ran out of time without finishing. Please can North Carolina to get their metrics some other way.

My current theory is that the state of NC so wants to say that public schools are failing that they are giving students near impossible exams.

tamal3 ,

Don’t forget the wild cockatoos! Those are a sight. (Source: my ex-step-sister lives in Melbourne.)

tamal3 ,

I love Canada geese! A family used to nest every year near where i grew up, and during breeding season traffic would halt multiple times a day while the whole family of goslings crossed the road. When in a rush in the spring, everyone knew not to take that road.

I think they are the bane of golfers and sports areas, but if that’s not a concern they are huge, beautiful birds.

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch (animehunch.com)

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

tamal3 ,

Thank goodness. I loved “Your Name” and hope for more films.

tamal3 ,

Can i ask what brand? And what the oven runs on – i assume electric? I’m interested, but have always used terrible electric coils or gas.

tamal3 ,

There are also some related wolf behaviors. Pups seem to lick parent faces to trigger them to regurgitate foraged food when they return to the den after hunting. I always imagine that my pup is licking my face to get me to regurgitate a smackerel of something delicious.

tamal3 ,

Eh, I don’t know, I don’t have any allergies… And I think my gross lifestyle has something to do with it.

tamal3 ,

Donald Trump, the con man trying to make a buck?

The guy who fixes my car basically runs a French-style salon out of his shop, and he told me, “The South Will never vote Socialist.” Seems he’s right so far. That and he goes against the powers that be… Bernie would have been a nightmare for the rich and powerful.
