Hi all,   I would love some recommendations for meal planning- any tricks, tips, advice, websites, anything really.   I am looking for suggestions for how to plan meals/calories for 2 men. They will be on a small sailboat for about 3 weeks. They will have access to some stores, sometimes. Pretty remote area. They can come to shore at nights if needed, sometimes. They are both around 180 lbs. The boat is a sailing boat but also a sliding seat rower will be used. My husband has done lots of sailing/backpacking, but this is a bit different in that it’s a smaller boat and the caloric needs will be much higher due to rowing as well.   2 person Gear: Whisper Light Camping Stove Sailin...

I came into work this morning at 5:30 am to see a bowl of water with bagged raw meat sitting in it. The meat was hardly cool to the touch, it was sweating, liquid was pooling at the bottom of the bag and the meat was starting to change color. All signs of the meat starting to rot. I confirmed what I was thinking with my partner who has extensive training in food safety as an executive chef for over 15 years. I decided to print 2 scientifically backed articles in regards to the signs of rotting meat and the consequences of consuming it even after it has been cooked, so that I could discuss it with MB when she came out this morning. (She is the only one that cooks if anyone is cooking at home...

So essentially what this proposed device would do is act kind of like an external hard drive for your physical games, ones with all the data on the cartridge and game key cards alike for around 25 to 30 of your physical games. For players who mostly use docked mode it would be able to be plugged into the dock and have any physical game you own act as if though it were actually in the cartridge slot so you wouldn't need to get up and switch your cartridges out nearly as often (or never if you keep your physical library less than the 25-30 games). The main draw of this device however is how it would interact with your console in handheld mode. Essentially what this device would be able ...

Okay so... I have this niece of mine; she's 9 for context btw. I'm 20+ years old, and I'm currently staying at their (my sister's place) for my sem break from university, since my sister needs some help w/ from her work and in house chores. She works graveyard shifts and has multiple jobs that's why she's exhausted, and I ofc want to lessen that if I could. Anyways, back to my niece. I love this little POS. She may be a POS, but she's my POS, you know what i mean? We sometimes get into a fight cuz our personality just rlly doesn't align much, but somehow I'm her favourite aunt??? (I also don't know how that happened, and I don't even th...

# Intro Before getting these two, I probably consumed all the content from reputable reviewers here and YT and still both pairs surprised me in some ways, so I add this review to aggregate info I find true and to add my perspective on top. Both got around 20 hrs of court time and WOW11 probably got extra 10 of having them on around them house, more on that later. I mostly play vball as a setter but the moves are a mix of a guard and a forward in basketball - a lot of running and jumping, changes of direction are common. It's not only games, it's practice sessions where we do all sorts of movements. All in all, it's not that different from bball. [Here's my collection ...

I’ve been having dreams lately, which, as normal as it sounds, is pretty unusual for me. I’ve never been one to recall a single detail from my dreams, and yet here I am, remembering a whole dreamlike sequence from start to finish. It always starts with me in third-person view, standing in my kitchen, surrounded by familiar faces. I watch in horror from the corner of the room as my other self picks up a kitchen knife and, one by one, mercilessly kills every single one of my friends. I’m sure some freak out there could tell me the exact meaning of this dream—and I sincerely hope it means I’m getting rich soon—but I can’t fathom the fact that I have to confess this to anyone. ...

I really liked the “Chosen vs Chosen: Molded by Fate” video. There is a game that I think would be perfect for another chosen games video. The game is called ***“Kiri-ai: The Duel”*** and it is a 2-player strategy card game where you are two samurai’s in a sword duel, pretty simple. Each game is like 5-10 minutes long so it could be a cool tournament style video. But I feel like it would also be very chosen if after each duel they tried to replicate the fight with toy swords. I think they could have a lot of fun with this and I want to see Chance’s sword skills! I’ve included a link to a gameplay overview cause I just love this game and a married couple that owns a board game ...

I am an indie hacker for over 4+ years and I used to think documentation is a weekend problem. Like yeah it’s outdated, but we’ll fix it “soon”. Then one day a user mailed “your docs say X but the API does Y” Checked it and… over 6 endpoints were wrong. Auth flow outdated. One example totally broken. This was after a pretty big release. We didn’t even realise docs were rotting that badly. So instead of doing a boring doc sprint, I tried something weird. I gave doc maintenance to AI. In one hour. Connected our repo and changelog to SuperDocs. And within <5 mins, my documentation was ready (I don't have to do any kind of prompting even).. Got drafts that wer...

Spent way too long analyzing toxic friendships after getting burned by people I thought had my back. Turns out there's actual psychology behind why we tolerate fake friends, and it's not because we're ****** or naive. Our brains are wired to seek belonging, even when that belonging is trash. Society pushes this "more friends = better" narrative that makes us hold onto relationships that expired years ago.  I've gone deep on this, tons of research, books, expert interviews, and yeah, my own messy experiences. Here's what I wish someone told me earlier. They only show up when they need something Real talk, this one's obvious but we gaslight our...

I keep trying to save a build to the gallery so I can move it. It just keeps saying "Connection timed out during upload. Please check connection and try again". I don't have a full gallery but I went ahead and deleted several big lots to make room and it still gives me this error. I used to be able to get around it by waiting about 2 minutes after the pop up, and the build would be in the gallery after that. But now not even that is working (I suspect another "helpful fix" from the sims team in the newest update but i figured I'd ask if anyone else had the same issue and found a work around)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for groundhopping advice strictly focused on fan culture and atmosphere, not club prestige, history, league position or “because it’s my team”. To be very clear about my perspective: What I AM looking for: • Continuous, loud, organized support from the stands • Singing/chanting for the entire match, regardless of the score • Ultras-style involvement (drums, capos, coordination, repetition) • A feeling of a “boiling cauldron”, not just occasional noise • Matches where the atmosphere itself is a reason to attend What I am NOT looking for: • “Best fans in the country” claims without comparison • One-off loud moments (goals only, ...

Last month I bought a mid-range air purifier from a big chain electronics store. Not a fancy one, just something quiet enough to run all night because my apartment gets dusty fast and my partner has mild asthma. It was $249 and I used a mix of my debit card and a store gift card I got from my mom for my birthday. Two days later the exact same model was on the front page of their site for $179 as part of a weekend promo, same color, same SKU, same store pickup. I figured, cool, I'll just get a price adjustment. I drove over on my lunch break and went to customer service. The rep pulled up my receipt, nodded, and then did that polite smile that means no. She told me they "do not do...

Sharing this Big Ben comment because I agree with all of it. Just focus on getting defense fixed and run game stout as a GM. Plug play your QB when you have the team, ala Denver, New England, Seattle who are all still playing right now. This idea of building around a QB is not the best way to do it. Sure it CAN work, but focusing on building a team ands then folding in QB is just smarter imo. Ask things relatively equal. Also addresses what to do on Dak extension … Build the team and by virtue of that the leverage moves back to club. Dak will prob WANT TO STAY and lead a complete team and a lot more likely to take a moderate pay deal…. Particularly if moderate pay is all you have l...

\[This is not a **** fiction, this is a part 1 and 2 type story with a good ending\] Sometimes people use tuff love to get their points across and someone it works, but what happened when someone can't tell the difference between love and ****? For someone like Minoru Mineta that point was always met with a beating at a young age, but one day Mineta had decided to go to the middle school counselor about what is going on at home. The School Counselor with a smile look on his face: Hello Minoru, what brings you here today? Mineta with a nervous expression on his face: I-I need to tell you something, my mom has been hurting me at home and I don't know what I did wrong? The School ...

My son (HS junior) spent the offseason bulking and lifting and put on over 40lbs. For context, he’s now 6’3.5” and 215-220lbs with a wide frame and very little body fat. He’s currently wrestling at 215lbs and gets bumped up to HWT for all of our duals. Looking for advice on: 1. Is bulking to 285 this coming offseason the right move based on his height and size, since it’s only 197 or 285 in college? He is hoping to have a successful senior year next year and would love to wrestle in college at some level. He will definitely be on the lighter side if he goes to HWT for his senior year, but he is wondering if that is the best move to prepare for college. He is still growing and Dr...

I see a lot of posts on here about whether or not burn "works" or not...so I wanted to share my success thus far. I joined burn in December 2024 at my heaviest non-pregnant weight of 190lb and was 33% body fat after having two children. Fast forward to January 2025, I found out I was pregnant with #3. Super excited of course but had mixed emotions because I was finally going to get in shape and then God was like nahh not yet, lol. I had worked out very inconsistently over the last few years but I decided to stay consistent during my pregnancy (as much as I physically could — 1st trimester nausea/exhaustion with 2 toddlers at home kept me home a lot). I gained the least amount o...

A lot of players still treat Void Grubs like they are a mandatory five man event, where if you do not show up you are trolling, but Patch 26.1 is clearly trying to break that habit. Riot literally says they want to reduce the pressure of whole teams roaming for Grubs and make it easier for laners to help take one and then leave back to lane, which should tell you what the correct playstyle is in most solo queue games.   The concept is simple. Grubs are now much closer to a jungler camp than a shared team payday, because the gold is concentrated on the killer of each monster instead of being a big global reward for everyone who shows up.  The why matters here, because when an objective...

The company I'm at used to previously hire paid internship for CS majors. As we're not set up to hire full-time entry graduates right now, we tracked our past interns and all of our past interns got full-time entry technical full-time jobs for good salaries. At the moment, we are working with unpaid interns and I want to help them get paid internships. I am looking for tips. My view is quite limited as I only talk to people with internships already (primarily paid). Here are my current data points based on my limited view of the hotshot interns we hired. I'm looking for something that can be replicated across a broader range of people. These are probably extraordinary s...

I’ve recently started bidding on Upwork but I’m still quite new. It’s been a bit of a struggle trying to figure out the entire thing, especially while managing the time difference from Pakistan. I’m really looking for some "real world" advice on a few things: 1. Best time to bid from Pakistan? Since most big contracts are in the US or Europe, what’s the sweet spot for us? For US Clients: Is it better to stay up late (2 AM – 5 AM PKT) to catch them when they start their day? Or is it okay to bid in our morning? For UK/Europe: Does bidding around 1 PM – 4 PM PKT work better since that’s their morning? 2. How many proposals per day? How many should I actually ...
