Hmmm this is a good idea. I'll see what I can rig up. If not a rolling pin does work pretty well I just end up with mildly oblong tortillas and while not traditional I guess, it doesn't end up being a bad thing most of the time.

Well I wanted to post about this yesterday but was in too much pain. Woke up at 4 an hurting in my stomach and back, thought I was just having some awful gas pain so did some exercises and got showers to try and relieve the pain. Also loaded up on my muscle relaxers to try and sleep to let my body work it out.

I only feel asleep twice and woke back up in 30 minutes with more pain. Finally about 1040 am I told my mom I needed to go to the emergency room. I was in a world of pain by the time noon rolled around when the ER did a ultrasound and found gallstones. I was then transferred to their main hospital in Louisville. Surgery didn't happen till midnight instead of the 8 pm it was originally scheduled for but I'm one gallbladder removed now.

I’m terrible about trying to tough out pain before seeking help.

I’ve done 5 months with an inch long splinter behind my knee, and 9 months with a hernia that I thought was a groin strain that wouldn’t go away.

Glad you got help fairly quickly.

quote:

Outgoing Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) revealed Friday he sold upward of $250,000 of the Let's Go Brandon meme cryptocurrency on Dec. 31, 2021, the day it saw its market value peak. Less than a month later, the meme coin had lost 100% of its value.

Multiple watchdogs told the Washington Examiner that the filing bolsters their suspicions that Cawthorn engaged in an insider trading scheme with the meme coin, whose leaders face a class-action lawsuit for allegedly scamming retail traders by orchestrating a "pump and dump" scheme with the coin.

.....

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown announced on Dec. 30 that the meme coin would be the primary sponsor of his 2022 season, causing LGB's value to spike by 75%. Koutoulas was directly involved in negotiating the deal between LGB and Brown, according to Brown's statement.

.....

"Did he have inside information? It sure appears that way," Libowitz told the Washington Examiner. "He's hanging out with the guy, announced it was going to spike the next day. The next day it spiked, and then he sells a portion of it. We don't know exactly how much he sold since he said it's partial, but he sells it the next day."

LGB's market value suffered a precipitous decline beginning just one day after Cawthorn offloaded upward of $250,000 of the coin onto the market. The coin's troubles compounded on Jan. 4 after NASCAR rejected the coin's sponsorship deal with Brown. By the end of January, the market cap of the meme coin dropped all the way to $0.

Taco meat and salsa was part of our March 2020 food prep, and I got pretty good at making flour tortillas from that. Pretty sure I've only done corn once, and it wasn't very well executed. We usually end up using the meat in quesadillas instead of actual tacos, and the homemade flour are A+ for that.

Tesla is a carbon credit offset company that happens to sell some lovely dangerous cars.

Like Donald Trump, Musk’s talent is marketing. He’s bought companies and somehow convinced everyone he built them from the ground up. SpaceX exists to privatize space travel and is propped up with government cash.

He’s a trash human and it sucks he will be around for a very long time—sucking up subsidies that could actually go to good clean energy causes.

It's 100% that. My company suggested that we return to office 2-3 days a week non-mandatory but my GM wanted to make it a mandatory 3 days a week. Except they're not allowing people who aren't vaccinated in the office, so those people can still work from home 100%. That caused a bit of an uproar because 'hey I don't get a choice on whether I'm in the office or not because I'm vaccinated?" which is entirely fair.

She backed off on it and it's still "suggested" with a TBD on when we'll be forced back into the office. Things have been great working from home up to now but we're behind on our Q2 goals so I'm guessing they're going to leverage that to try to push people back into the office. There have been several people threaten to quit if we were forced back to the office though. My industry is looking for talent and willing to pay for it so it wouldn't be hard to find another job.

One of the brightest guys I know came over to us at Nextera from SpaceX, running our entire server migration to some IBM Watson AI silo that we were making. Middle of explaining his history he said “…then I joined SlaveX” and caught himself, feeling embarrassed.

He apologized and explained that’s what he and his coworkers had called their employer for the two years he worked there. That says all I need to know.

From what I know inside Tesla, most of the higher ups publicly back Elon but privately wish he'd tweet less and be less involved. He's a sales pitch person not an operations person, so when he makes operational decisions unilaterally, it pisses off a lot of them.

The sales team usually is 70-80 percent Elon Fanboys though.

It's probably known about the culture for people working there, but the "(and I mean *minimum*)" bit would have me polishing my resume that day. The place I left a few months ago had zero work life balance despite lip service from management about it being important. I can't even imagine how bad it is somewhere that isn't even trying to hide behind that veneer.

Im sure you're up on calculators online for caloric intake and trackers like my fitness pal and that stuff but to make a long answer short "nah".
This is so true. Tracking calories and paying attention to what I eat has made a huge difference.

What I want is a big plate of hot wings and a big plate of loaded nachos. What I’m having is as much celery / broccoli cauliflower as I can stand and then a sensible protein.

My dad is like that. Earlier this year he had tooth pain that was bothering him for a while and thought it was just a cracked crown that needed constant adjustment. Eventually the pain was so bad he went to the hospital and they found infection in his jaw that had gotten to his bloodstream so he had sepsis and needed IV antibiotics for 3 weeks.
