This is the same shit that happened with braces when I was a kid. It makes me so angry. My parents, luckily, were too poor at the time for any of us to get braces. And then dentists inevitably told them we all need braces, my mom did some digging and decided it wasn't necessary. She originally did so to determine if they would need to come up with the money or not, but in doing so, found out it's unnecessary in most cases. Skip to today and my teeth are perfectly fine while my husband has all kinds of issues with his retainer leftover from when he has braces that I'm guessing he didn't need. While I'm not a doctor, my recommendation in regards to dentists will always be to get your regular cleanings done and fillings if necessary, but anything else, and you should get a second opinion.

Since nobody actually answered the question: Menards is a massive hardware store chain in the Midwest. When I say it's massive, it has everything you could ever need in a hardware store and more. Like there are usually multiple floors, a lumber yard, highly specialized sections, and even a small grocery section with food, pet supplies, clothing, etc. it's definitely the greatest hardware store ever conceived, but unfortunately the man who owns them is batshit crazy in classic Wisconsin fashion.

My husband has had a metal USB stick that is shaped like a key and is very thin specifically for this purpose. I don't know the brand as it's not printed on it, but it's lasted him a long time and I would assume it to win this contest by a landslide. Excellent analysis, very interesting!

For reference, it looks like this (not the same brand):

Don't forget that eggs also come out the hole!! If you've ever seen fresh farm eggs before, you have to wash them before you use them because they're covered in piss and shit. Yum!

There's an excellent episode of the Sopranos where they end up going to Italy. And even though their whole personality is "Italian" they find that they have nothing in common with actual Italians. That show is a masterpiece.

Have you watched the show Severance? Excellent dive into that question and more.

I don't know if these things are sent en masse by a bot or by a person, but it's like they don't even skim your profile before hitting send. Like I specifically said "Work from home only", what makes you think I want your "hybrid" opportunity in bumfuck Illinois that barely pays what it should for my experience?

I was tricked into working for him a second time by my former manager. See, my former manager was excellent but he left before crazy boss man was revealed to be as crazy as he was. So when former manager asked if I wanted to join him at his new job I didn't skip a beat. I literally found out on my first day when he welcomed me to the team and said "it's like we're getting the band back together!". But I'm glad I stayed because my company fired him literally the day before they announced wfh cuz COVID. And then everything was great... Minus the COVID stuff of course.

There used to be a website I would visit often that had random videos to watch. They were from all kinds of origins and it was fun to try out some videos to see what you would find that you otherwise wouldn't have seen. I don't think that website exists anymore unfortunately, but this is the closest thing I've seen since.
