overview for Ejh3k

I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. in c/mildlyinfuriating

We order dominos kinda regularly. Check their coupons next time. I can tell you that I'll get a large 5 topping, stuffed cheesy bread and wings for that price or cheaper. And I'm your friendly neighbor to the west, not in a major or midsized area.

Cheapest form of balanced electrolytes for daily use? in c/[email protected]

Pickle juice. Also, pickles.

Sauerkraut

I work outside doing physical labor, I maintain a giant jar of pickles at work and home. There is no better relief when I am feeling crampy after a hot hot day than a giant swig from the pickle jar.

Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing? in c/asklemmy

You can recharge your new iPhone in the microwave.

TIL most cultures and peoples all over the world have historically had trouble recognizing the color blue in c/til

Isn't it the most recent major color?

Did you ever go to a city that was very different than you imagined and surprised you positively? If yes which city was it and why did it surprise you? in c/asklemmy

It's possible. I did a lot of drinking.

I was 18. I didn't really care about what companies were headquartered in which countries.

Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I've seen.

But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.

Pickle Beer! in c/lemmyshitpost

I keep a jar of pickle juice at work so I can keep cramp free on hot days. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I painted a character from my graphic novel but not happy with it, could I get some opinions please? in c/traditional_art

You are already getting the pan hot enough to sear, just leave it there a little while longer and it's cooked!

Don't you love it when something you see or do is so commonplace to you, and when you show someone shorter and they can't even imagine it?

Got a surprise VA packet in the mail. (self.veterans)

My rating got bumped up to 70%. So no more property taxes!

I waited nearly 20 years to start this process, and I'm mad at myself for having waited this long. All those times I was dead ass broke, thousands of dollars in credit card debt, stuck in jobs that I couldn't afford to quit because otherwise I'd have to take a worse paying job and wouldn't be able to afford food.

The monthly payments don't make my hands work better, or my knees not hurt, or help my breathe through my nose, or help with my PTSD, but goddammit, I am significantly less stressed about stuff since my first rating earlier this year.

Luckily I'm in a job I love, with fantastic benefits and hours. And I'm married to a wonderful lady who brings home the bacon. I've been out of debt for a while, but I was always stressed about falling back into it.

Not anymore.

Heavy metal puked like 6 times, drank some water and cooled down some. Felt better about 5 minutes later, so I went out and finished my yard and did my neighbor's.

Feeling 100% fine now. Sometimes you just have to get the evil out.

Just got my Google BIPA settlement check (self.illinois)

Nearly $100 this time. Add that to the over $400 from Facebook, and all thanks to this Great State's law's protecting privacy.

It does irk my wife some though, because we can't teach our nest cam that it's just me getting the mail and we don't need the notifications.

Nearly $100 from Google because the great state of Illinois doesn't allow companies to collect and store biodata.

I'm over $500 collected in class action lawsuits because of this great state!

Help! Can't remember a title of an early CD-Rom game where you fought through the ages and into the future. SOLVED:Time Commando (self.retrogaming)

It was a really early CD-Rom game, probably 1993ish. You started off in the stone ages using sticks and rocks, fighting off bad guys and solving puzzles, and you'd move through time using the weapons of that era. I don't think I would classify it as an educational game because outside of the weapons and settings, I don't remember much of it having any information.

I'm pretty sure it was the first video game I ever beat.

Edit: it was not a real time strategy game. It was third person perspective.
