Same. I’ll admit a few overall have made me nose laugh but most are just “yep, that’s a joke/statement I see online 20 times a week put to picture”. It’s not that I inherently dislike them, but they’re not my cup of tea and I preferred when I could just not see them.

I don’t even think they put that much effort in. I think they just took a brush and painted on the tint. The green bleeds onto their inner eyelids.

(whenever that Reddit debacle was, October?)

I’m sorry to inform you that was in June.

I’ll take your word for that, I don’t know anyone who has bought an oven in the last decade. 😅 Every home/apartment I’ve lived in has had basic appliances and every home I’ve visited even with older mid-range hasn’t. I’ve also never seen a microwave with “bake” function in person. But I might live in a different circle than you as well.

Very American thing. I’ve never seen a convention oven in person.

Yeah they’re not very common in the US unless the kitchen was renovated for a “home chef” type. The average oven you go and just “pick off the shelf” in the US doesn’t have convection. I don’t know anyone with a convection oven, I’ve only seen home cooks/chefs on YouTube with them.

My state doesn’t even mandate a yearly vehicle inspection.

These or something similar are perfect, as a lefty.

Edit: but for the love of god don’t pay that much. I think they’re like $5-7 in store.

Abortion implies fertilization. Your typical carton of eggs comes from chickens that have not been near a rooster and therefore won’t have been fertilized. They’re just completed menstruation.

Starbucks doesn’t publish their bulk prices for obvious reasons, unfortunately. You can find people making guesses online (such as this guy) but for instance he uses Costco bulk coffee prices to calculate and I highly doubt Starbucks is paying that much. Your average small independent cafe is going to be getting their supplies from generic wholesale stores and sites, where you can view prices for cups and things. Hell, I know some places that legit just buy their milk for their cafe at places like Aldi. So they’re paying consumer prices for milk versus the bulk discount a mega corp would get.

Edit for missing period which made an odd sentence.

I would imagine economies of scale comes into it heavily. Smaller, independent cafes cannot get nearly the same low costs as huge corporations. They could easily be paying two, three times the price for supplies and don’t have the financial cushions to eat losses.

Similarly, my house was listed as two and a half bath. The second “full” bath is a random shower, toilet, and sink in the basement just… there. Open to the rest of the basement. No enclosing walls. lol

Thank you very much for clarifying. It makes sense if a subscription is not transferred but if someone does the outright payment that should be transferred. Asshole move if the one time unlock isn’t.

I must have misunderstood, because I know you have to pay $12,000-15,000 (seems the price has lowered) for the FSD to be available, then pay subscription on top of that. For some reason I thought they were saying the initial $12k+ “unlock” wouldn’t transfer.

I won’t argue that the US is exceedingly car-focused, but that’s partly because distances travelled are greater. When I was a kid, my elementary school was 2.6 miles (4.18 km) from my house, and many classmates would have been even further. I had classmates who had a 45 minute bus ride (time stretched by making multiple stops obviously). While I’m sure 5 year olds can bike 2.6 miles, it’s probably not ideal and certainly not ideal in snow/sub-zero (Fahrenheit) temps. Much of the US is just very spread out.

I read it as the second owner would have to pay for it themselves to (re)unlock it. So Tesla would get paid twice for the feature in one car.

I suppose everyone looks at minimalism differently, but to me as I understand it functional minimalism is not “have the least amount of things possible; live in a barren house”. It’s more “only have what you need”. If you need those tools, it’s not against minimalism to have them. It would not be minimalist to buy a newer, fancier drill when the one you already have does the job as needed. Minimalism isn’t also about depriving yourself of happiness. But to be thoughtful about the things you buy and whether the act of buying it will trigger some quick endorphins or whether the item will actually serve purpose and fulfillment to you/your heart.

Happier version of your story:

My dad an I both did 23 and Me. He made sure I knew he had done sperm donation before I met my mother just in case something came up. Well, it did! I have two half siblings from his donations! I think it’s cool, and I think he’s happy to know he helped two families have a child.

The eyebrows were a miss but everything else was choice.
