Immediate family (spouses especially) are ALWAYS the primary suspect until they can be ruled out

Chicken chicken chicken. Grill up tons of it. You can add things like a red sauce (go easy on the tomatoes because of the natural sugars), pesto, Alfredo sauce, Italian dressing, etc…

Grilled/baked chicken will likely be a main protein.

I also really love pot roast (there are great keto recipes out there that taste phenomenal). Grilling a steak is always a delightful treat.

Make sure you eat plenty of greens with each meal and take a multivitamin to keep your body from being deficient.

Sugar-free Gatorade is really helpful for fighting the “low carb flu” in the early days of switching to ketosis (as it’s the low electrolytes that make you feel those flu symptoms).

Best of luck! Not everyone can do keto, so I hope it works for you (my SO ended up getting a rash on their back that scarred because of the acetone produced by their body from migrating over to ketosis; never happened to me, though).

Seems highly rescue-able to me! (You’re the only one who’ll know something went amiss.)

Regardless, really beautiful work.

I wish I had a bit more of your optimism.

Oh man, woodworking is pretty bad. Tools galore, scrap wood everywhere, and half-finished projects all over the garage.

Wendys. Whataburger is too expensive and the burgers are too messy.

Both are good tho

Found a funny one of an Eastern European kid in blue shorts spinning himself around to make himself dizzy. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid.

Then YouTube started blocking the videos because it thought I was a bot:/

Oh, you’re right about the wokeness thing. I really just look at a review for info about gameplay and plot quality.

Reviews have actually saved me money. Time is limited, so I’m thankful to be able toto watch a review and be able to use that to help me make a decision about a game I’m on the fence with.

I haven’t had luck generating original jokes out of thin air with GPT, but I can tell you that if you already have a concept for a joke, it’ll analyze the concept and give you great advice on how to enhance it.

Already do remote play through my phone with a backbone, so this would just give me a bigger screen, I guess

You’d be right… for about 5 seconds until she decides that it’s time to give you nightmare fuel. She’s actually sick right now, so the terror is at a minimum (but I’d take all the terror she has to give if she’d just feel better…)

Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?

This is a great commentary to me. I think it shows just how much of an appetite we currently have for a curated space. It’s almost like Mastodon is a service that’s about 15 years too late.

I remember going around to older forums and sites looking for specific content when I wanted it, and I wasn’t always guaranteed to find something I liked, but I would often see something interesting.

Now, though, I really want anywhere I go to knock me off my feet with good content because that’s what I’m conditioned to. Isn’t that what makes me an addict, though? I’m wondering if that chance of dissatisfaction isn’t a virtue to ensure no one platform takes control of all my attention.

My interactions on Mastodon are far fewer than on Lemmy, though.

IMO, Lemmy is like a CoOp video game where you’re supposed to interact together, and Mastodon is like watching someone else play a solo video game.

Both can be good, but they serve different purposes to me.

My sister once put some dog doo in a paper towel tube and wrapped it as a present.

But somehow I don’t think that the kind of prank you’re looking for.

A lot of practical steps, which is nice to see in an article like this.

Oh, me too. I hadn’t thought of that, but that would be terrible if it happened

I’m actually a bit surprised… my stock is pretty down from selling you so much over the past weeks.

It doesn’t matter, though; I have enough for the festival and I’m planning to rake in the big bucks like I usually do.

I think that’s a good sign tbh

You sound well adjusted.

I do one to probe one point, though… Coukd your motives for living this way be pride? A feeling that you being able to live up to your own (self-described as “high”) moral standards is something that makes you better than others?

The reason I ask: it’s not a bad thing to feel a sense of pride for having control over yourself, but it can be a weakness to obtaining true happiness because it also depends on the performance of other people. (If someone else exhibits more self-mastery than you, would that make you feel less happy about your own performance?)

If pride isn’t a factor, it sounds like you’re in a good spot.
