Needs washed, but you can just heat the oil on the stove if you’ve seasoned the thing in the first place.

Rockstar sea shanty

Better than the original. It totally slaps.

I have a pretty reasonable grasp of delta V. While my comment is flippant, you can launch Eastward from the equator any day and end up in space: deep space if you have sufficient velocity (though usually you’d do that with one or more gravity assists). The sun is the only other place you can go any day, but there’s huge angular velocity to overcome to make a direct shot.

It really really is the case mathematically that if you just want to go to deep space it’s not as difficult as trying to figure out how to go to a particular place, as anyone who has ever done trajectory planning with STK will tell you. More difficult from a cost and engineering perspective, sure, but mathematically easier to just shoot in a direction at escape velocity for the sun whatever day you want.

I don’t think $7 is a particularly hefty fee. If it’s a grocery store they typically aren’t paying employees to do shop for you, it’s an extra service for an extra charge. I think I pay $10 per order from my local grocery.

I mean yeah, the sun is in one place, space is basically anywhere else. It’s easier to shoot anywhere than to shoot somewhere.

Which unfortunately means every time you pull it out you can get on lemmy, if you have a new email you can read and reply to it, you can play a quick bullet game of chess… Etc etc. Phones are great, but they are also finely tuned distraction boxes.

I’m trying to wear my watch more.

And you can make exactly the same argument for windows or mac depending on career or hobby or performance/support.

You can just pay it all off unless you plan on making some I interest money from the second 100.

Every month on the same day I drive all the card balances to zero. 800+ credit score

Yeah no. Pay the entire statement balance every month, that’s the whole point. If you want to do debt stuff I guess you can get a mortgage or a car loan or a school loan, but these are not requirements for good credit. You use the card, you pay the card, you now have 100% on time payments and probably low credit utilization. Get a card early so average account age high if you can, and don’t get lots of hard credit checks in a row.

You can literally get free credit checks through most banks or directly from places like Experian and see what it is that affects your particular score.

Don’t pay 18 or 25% interest on anything, that’s nutty.

But you should do that one. Just don’t expect it to be windows with a different coat of paint and you will be fine.

Other older years aren’t garbage, you just realize the older you get the more the difficulty is turned up. More responsibilities, slower metabolism, less grace for making mistakes or general stupid behavior, and of course sleep injuries. The best thing about getting old is having kids, being exhausted, and sleeping in a weird way one night that causes pain for 7 to 10 days.

I miss when I could eat a box of donuts every day, bench press a cow, and try to flirt with like 10 different girls in the same day. I wouldn’t trade those days for days with my kids and my wife now, but they were objectively great.

I don’t think they are called something else, but they aren’t common in the Midwest US. Most households are using central heating and air conditioning. I’ve seen mini splits before in Europe, but didn’t know that’s what they were called

For anyone else not in the know, a mini split seems to be a standalone heating and cooling appliance.

I prefer to do mine on the grill with a few pieces of a louisville slugger Maplewood bat on the coals. Instead of 12 hours though I wrap mine in foil at about 7 hours when it hits the stall.
