Does the algae taste like spiralina? Because if it still tastes like an aquarium that needs cleaning smells, it will be incredibly difficult for some of us to eat without gagging.
I've gotten Covid and Flu vax at the same time.
I prefer it, I usually get a fever and my arm gets really sore. One time I tried one in each arm, and I had two sore arms for a couple days instead of one.
A perfect southern American biscuit is fluffy, layered, tender, buttery. Much more like a croissant than the scones we get here. They are just as good smeared with sweet jam, jellies, and honey as the are paired with mashed potatoes, gravy, and sausages. Usually best served hot, fresh out of the oven. They almost melt in your mouth in a good way.
(My grandma made amazing southern biscuits: white flour, cold butter or shortening or lard, baking powder, salt, mix with fingers til crumbly, pour in enough buttermilk to just mix a soft dough. Roll out, cut into rounds, place on baking pan, brush with melted butter, goes into a hot oven. When tops are golden brown pull out and enjoy. They should be double to 3 times the height of rolled out dough. Work fast because overworked dough gets tough and loses some rise)
Scones here are usually cold, dry, dense, and crumbly. I've had sweet and savory scones. They seem like they are made to soak up some sort of liquid or be washed down with coffee or tea. I think we what we get given as scones are either stale or a prank.
There's a movie called Shallow Grave. Ewan McGregor's character is on the phone at work at a newspaper. We hear his side of the conversation:
Was there a pet in the house? Yeah, a pet.
You know, like a dog or a budgie or a gerbil or something?
What I need here is "PC Plod saves Harry the Hamster from house of horror".
All right. Well, that's a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.
This line has lived rent free in my head for almost 30 years. "All right. Well, that's a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle."
While I love manga and the artwork...
I read and comprehend words much, much faster.
For a massive opus like One Piece, I would love a novel version of the manga that I could dig into, with the novel and manga chapters lining up or notated, so I could go back and read chapters of the manga and enjoy the artwork for especially key or poignant scenes.
Then I could start just consuming the manga and anime in real time...
Right now it's just too daunting to start.
I've seen the first season of live action and anime. I'm very interested, I just can't justify the time commitment.
I was in a STEM degree and I learned a lot of technical skills. (Super early internet, no YouTube) In the extra classes like marketing, English Lit, I basically learned how to deal with people because of the professors like you describe, group projects, and trying to see the perspectives that didn't make sense to be initially so I could pass the damn class.
It seemed incredibly stupid at times, but making you think in ways that challenge you in ways you hate and think are stupid is actually excellent training for dealing with the myriad of brain-breaking people on this planet.
High School did this too, but less in your interest.
High School was "shut up and do it this way, because that's how it's done." This benefits the Institution.
College was "sure, argue, but here's why you're wrong, or if not wrong, you need to be able to see this differing perspective, understand, and navigate it. The world is fucked, there is so much that is morally gray, that you need to learn flexibility. Show me you understand by explaining back to me what I'm teaching you. Don't just entrench your whole being in what you've been taught before coming here."
Not the person you asked, but it's commonly taught as science in a lot of Christian themed curriculums, including a lot of homeschool programs.
Source: friends who believed it, and seeing the homeschool program of my step-kids. We had to teach facts on the side and introduce them age appropriately to real science.
Some people work together well. My husband and I have been married over 25 years, the last 20 years we've worked closely together.
It's hasn't been perfect 100% of the time, but I wouldn't change a thing.
You just have to figure out conflict resolution AND how to respect when one of you needs downtime (we are both mostly introverts that need to recharge sometimes)
Oh, Agreed 100% when it's broken beyond repair. But replacement of a working (yet now inefficient old) AC doesn't save money necessarily. Not when new units are so expensive.
We are in the south, not Texas, and really need to replace our almost 25 yr old AC. We've been repairing and trying to get another season out of it for the last 3 years.
Imagining the body snatcher coming back to the eggy pod and waking us up... "screeeech this sucks, take your life back, too much stresssssss" as they shove us out and climb into the eggy pod.
The number of times people have said to me, "how do you know that?"
All this in the meme, plus me asking people about themselves in social interactions so I don't have to talk as much.
