Like three drinks and I’m hungover for half the day. NYD is a big food tradition day for me. Breakfast is waffles, dinner is Ciopino, and afternoon is snacks and bowl games.

I’m going to try and lose weight this year. I’ve said it for like three years running though. I need to lose like 10 lbs. so not talking a huge amount, but I just haven’t been able to do it.

I have a friend, her parents are both retired rocket scientists, and they are constantly sending her conspiracy theory websites about COVID-19. She sends actual legit things back and they just get brushed aside.

I took vicadin once and that was enough. I was also given some morphine in the ER and it was a pretty miserable couple of hours until it wore off. I hope I never end up in serious pain because I really hate opioids.

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't sleep great. Took me a lot longer to fall asleep than normal, then woke up twice from nightmares. My wife had to wake me up once because I was trying to scream in my dream and to her it sounded like I was struggling to breathe or something. Another goal for this year, not be in the top 10 posters, which I realize this isn't helping. I should probably be more productive with my time.

I think I need to give up woodworking as a hobby. Not because I don't like it, but because every time I make a mistake, I have to explain it to my wife, then I have to hear about it from her what I should have done. Then she goes online and looks at the same thing online and asks why I didn't make it like that. I'm just sick of having every little thing critiqued, especially when I already know I screwed it up.

wandler20 posted:No one but you needs to know you hosed up. You can almost always fix it. Do that and move on. Woodworking owns, don't quit. Well this particular issue is I was making an edge grain cutting board. Somewhere along the line gluing up each board, it got warped a litle. The only reason she knew about it is because I unclamped it and was testing it on the kitchen counter to see if it was flat, and it was obviously not. So now I'm trying to figure out the best way to straighten it. I can either plane it until it's flat, but that would take quite a bit of thickness of the board, or maybe I could heat it and clamp it down and see if it stays flat this time. I agree, I don't want to quit, but this happens to me a lot. I have an issue, and then I get 20 questions from my wife about it.

We’ve talked about similar things in the past. I’m overreacting a little bit too because she also did help me find ways to fix the issue I was having. So I know it’s coming from a good place, I think it’s just how she says things sometimes that grate me the wrong way. I also have a tendency to not take criticism all that well. We’ve been talking about this kind of stuff more because we were not doing great over the summer.

General Dog posted:Now, we don't know the whole story. For instance, Bird could be making hand-crafted wooden "marital aids," in which case a certain amount of negative feedback could be understandable. Look, this sandpaper grit only gets so fine. For real, it’s a cutting board for her to use, so I can understand her wanting something that works because otherwise I’m just making her a gift that will aggravate her more. I’ll get it fixed, I think I was just venting because I was mad at myself for the mistake, and at that moment was frustrated with her.

Timby posted:Yeah, seriously. I'm sure she's not doing it to be mean, but if her feedback is aggravating you to the point that you want to drop a hobby that you find fun and rewarding, then you owe it to yourself to say something about it. It sounds like a cliché, but something as simple as saying, "Look, I know you're trying to help, but could you maybe try a different approach" or something along those lines can go a very long way. Long story short is that your wife may have absolutely no idea that she's bothering you so much, and she can't fix something that's broken if you don't tell her that it's broken. Open, frequent and honest communication is the bedrock of any solid relationship, so keep those lines of communication open. Yes, thank you. Communicating better is something I am slowly improving on because I tend to just shut up and suck it up, but then it leads to anger and resentment later.

Who the hell knows this time. There should be less voters, which will make things go quicker, but since it’s expected to be a tight race, we probably won’t know for sure for a few days.

I would say Republicans will need to actively defend 6 seats (FL, PA, OH, WI, IA, and NC), while Dems will actively need to defend 2 seats (AZ and GA).

Joey Freshwater, since you seem to know the most about this, what's going on with that boat that lost like half its cargo? Is there a way to find out what was lost? I think my job may have been affected by it because I was waiting on some valves and all of a sudden the lead time jumped by months.

Joey Freshwater posted:I think last I read they've only discharged less than 100 containers since it arrived in Kobe, so it'll be a while before a full assessment is done. I don't have any tracking, I'm like three steps away from that, I know it comes out of China, but I don't know what part. I order from a distributor, who orders from a wholesaler, who gets it from the factory. They're steel valves from Crane. It's not something that would specifically be coming to me, it would be a large order the wholesaler places. Mostly I was just wondering if I could figure out if somehow a whole bunch of Crane valves ended up at the bottom of the ocean, but I figured it was a longshot.

C-Euro posted:I wonder if there's bipartisan support for shortening the lame duck period after all this. Part of it is our stupidly long election certification process. We give states like a month to certify. Then they need to have the electoral vote, then the poo poo that was supposed to happen today. There’s no reason it should take this long, but the constitution requires a million steps. If anything though, inauguration should be immediately after congress certifies the results. At least that would cut two weeks off.

I can’t believe you guys watched all that last night. Has anybody asked how none of these traitors have jobs? What they can all just head to DC during the middle of a work week? A bunch of lazy bums mooching off the government, I tell you what. Seriously though, I hope at some point someone faces real consequences for this poo poo. I am really sick and tired of watching fascists pull poo poo like this and walk away while the left gets beat and bloodied.
