    Yeah seriously, why are there so many more of them occurring than I remember there being when I was a kid? Global warming doesn’t affect the movements of the stars and planets; shouldn’t there be the same number of eclipses that there always has been? Why are they so often now? What gives?

    Don’t know the exact term but I work at a “last mile” warehouse, basically the place where already packaged items go to be sorted and put onto trucks for delivery. It’s a smaller warehouse but it is a warehouse. All I do is sort packages.

    And yeah I’m confused too. I avoided getting a job there for years because of all the horror stories. But my experience has been quite the opposite. Even the notorious “suicide booths” aren’t what the news makes them out to be. They’re literally just a phone booth.

    IDK maybe my warehouse is just different. I have no idea.

    One of the only positive things about working at Amazon is they they’re actually competent enough to hire enough employees to cover unexpected life events. No joke, they hand out over an hour of personal time every single day, enough to take an entire day off after barely working a couple of weeks.

    I’ve been sleeping in nearly every single shift for a year straight, coming in late constantly, and management literally couldn’t give a single fuck. They even let you come back from breaks late and no one says a damn thing. I once stretched out a 15 minute break to 45 minutes, and nothing came of it. So long as your work gets done on time it’s no problem. They even fired the one manager who would actually do things by the book and get after employees. I couldn’t believe it when it happened; it’s almost too unbelievable to be true.

    The best part is that you don’t even have to call in; taking time off is done with an app and it always gets approved instantly. If the pay wasn’t shit (only $19.50hr), I’d never want to leave.

    I like them cause they cook faster and crisp better than convection ovens. A leaf blower, like the other person said.

    Air fryer, automatic pressure cooker, and electric smoker: three appliances that every home cook should own to step up their meal game. Your food will taste so much better.

    (I mean you haven’t lived until you’ve had ribs that were smoked for 2 hours, stuck in the instant pot for 20 minutes, and then finished off in the broiler or on the grill. No other method tops this technique. Or birria that was pressure cooked instead of the traditional stove method. And now I want ribs and tacos birrias.)

    The only “adult” version of these drinks I enjoy is Monster Beast Unleashed, cause it still tastes like Monster (pairs well with vodka too). The other ones I’ve tried taste like they were mixed with the cheapest grain alcohol available, and somehow manage to taste way too strong while only having a ~5% ABV (including these Arizona teas).

    tl;dr: Yeah they are in fact pretty mid.

    Is that what the door is for? I assumed it was to help keep the butter slightly warmer than the rest of the fridge, to make slicing easier. But then again that’s that’s probably why the butter cabinet is always located in the warmest part of the fridge.

    Completely covering the entire top of your foot is even worse. So itchy and sweaty. I’ll take the strap between the toes any day. Only time I’ll wear anything other than flip flops is because I have to for work or a formal event.
