I have no idea if you're a man or a woman, but I'm guessing based on your comment, you're a man? You're talking about those hooks/ indents like halfway between the hook and the end of the hanger? I think those are a lot more useful on women's clothes, which tend to have much wider necks which means they just slip right off hangers. The hooks help wide neck blouses and jackets stay on the hangers, and they're especially useful for tank top or spaghetti strap type tops and dresses.

I hear you but after my husband was laid off (along with thousands in his field in our area) he looked for months and months for a new job. Unfortunately so did the other thousands, so sometimes even with 6 or 8 interviews he wouldn't get the job. One place ghosted him after THEY made an offer.

He's an apprentice now in a trade. These two years are really tight with money, but we wish he had started up in the trade immediately instead of wasting all that time looking. We'd be surviving better on this low pay if we hadn't had so many months of zero pay for him.

Wow what a great response, thank you so much! I had no idea we had such a Small beam. I guess the downside of that is the rest of the world won't be as concerned with figuring out how to stop it as they would if it were more random.

How long before impact would we learn where the hit is going to be? A real lotto scenario, but my money is on the ocean. What happens if it hits the ocean?

I agree that the adults here are the most responsible, but I hope those kids understand the gravity of what they've done.

"It [the bullying] had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified."

What the literal fuck. The bullies said the bullying wouldn't ease up until her family got deported. She was meeting with the school counselor several times a week and the school didn't separate the bullies out? They didn't notify the parents? I hope people are held personally liable. Your beloved little girl taking her own life is an unimaginable tragedy.

The president is setting such a shameful example.

Obviously we need to support everyone and ableism is bad, but I wouldn't want to get drafted which is basically a death sentence and then a guy who gets bring from A to B mixed up with bring from B to A is beside me with a loaded gun. I definitely wouldn't want him behind me with that gun. To say that's elitist is intentionally naive.

That's like saying you're the authority on what an acid trip feels like because you watched someone take one. Also step parents and adoptive parents love their kids without "having" them

Separate from this conversation I'm guessing you're pretty young based on your response, and I want to just ask if you're doing ok.

Like bread and noodles for dinner and skipping breakfast, not getting 8 hours of sleep.. I hope you're doing well and remembering to take care of yourself. Veggies and protein are important! Even if you're just opening a can of beans and a can of carrots, you should give your body something more than grains. Seems like you don't like up put a lot of effort into dinner so I'd at least suggest those frozen bags of veggies that you microwave in the bag they come in to steam them. Aldi has them pretty cheap!

5 is incorrect. Most people have an unpaid lunch, not part of the 8 hour workday, so that's 4 hours left to do everything else.

Because you used your weekend researching,shopping and meal prepping, meals only take ten minutes to take out and get ready, but you skipped actually eating which is 30 minutes for dinner, and 10 for breakfast. If you have a family dinner is an hour, breakfast is 30 min. No family - 3hr20min With family -2hr30min

Housework- you say 20 minutes which for men is pretty accurate - they average 19 minutes a day, but women average 49 minutes a day. Single Men down to 3hr Women with families down to 1hr40min

The average time it takes to fall asleep is 10-20 minutes. That's not part of the 8 hours. 15min Add 15 minutes for using the toilet a day 6-7 times urinating (average) plus hand washing. Minus 1/3 happens at work. 10 min. Add 5 minutes to poop. 15min Additional grooming - the absolute minimum is to brush your teeth twice a day, dry and brush your hair, do a professional style, coordinate a professional outfit, iron, and dress. Nail clipping, sunscreen, whatever. This stuff takes time. 15 min absolute minimum a day if you have low standards for your appearance and don't have a very professional job. Up to an hour if you do. That's 45 minutes minimum (though realistically you're not doing all of that at Max efficiency every day. Single Men down to 2hr15min Women with families down to 55 min

any additional chores (maybe not daily, but at least once a week you have to do an unusual task like replacing work clothes, buying medicine, home repair/maintenance, oil change, need a coat. Maybe some weeks there's nothing, but other weeks, three things happen.

So if your boss calls you for a scheduling issue, or you want to bathe your child, or your pet throws up, you're easily down to no time at all for yourself after you've slaved away for maximum efficiency.

Forget volunteering. Forget religion. Forget getting to know your kids, or dating, or self improvement.

I cannot imagine a world where I think regular average people have enough leisure time.

I think this may be body dependent. Sometimes I get a nasty hangover headache from just two drinks. Lady weekend I pounded like 5 and a half drinks in an hour or two, I was drunk and queasy until deep into the next morning and no hangover. I think it's more about what you eat and drink besides the alcohol.

No no no, rolling takes forever and nothing stays rolled unless the drawer is full. The future is shelves. All my clothes are on a bookcase in my closet. Nicely and easily folded, but I can see everything always, and retrieval is easier when you can lift the stack from the side. Viva la shelves

 

Is anyone else having the issue where you're 30 comments deep into a post, you reply to a comment and when you submit it refreshes the whole post making you lose your spot in the comments?

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

I'm on a Google Pixel if that's relevant.
