My dad died while I was in grad school (pancreatic cancer). He was the sole breadwinner for our household - it was a real wakeup call, but I also realize in hindsight that he probably negatively impacted my personal growth. I thought, while he was around, that supporting the family business would be a viable career path, but it was mismanaged and I disagreed with decisions he would make. Instead I have had a successful career in consulting and with large corporations. There was an interim period where I did manage the business, but ended up shuttering it/liquidating. It also resulted in my siblings getting full rides to compete their undergrad. I think in our case, experiencing the bottom fall out motivated us to not miss our shot.
I do miss him, but I can't help but think it was for the better.
"over the" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 /s
This is funny, I asked my wife this morning "have you ever thought of tasting the cat's canned wet food?"
We've never done a taste test, sad to say.
My brother works at a restaurant where the head chef mentioned that he has tried sea turtle soup. The chef said that it's a good thing that sea turtle is illegal to consume because the soup and texture of the meat was so perfect that sea turtles would be guaranteed to go extinct otherwise.

I'm GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.
Mad love for Qobuz.
Very good movie
I can snap the tendon over my knuckles kinda hard to where it makes a popping/snapping sound. If I do it close to someone's cheek, it stings like releasing a tiny rubber band.
I can also move my ears independent of one another.
Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it's not totally lawless current state ... They're legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don't want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that's just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.
Agree this dude is unhinged.

I love chips and salsa - issue being that I'll house a party sized bag of tortilla chips and a big ol container of salsa in like 2-3 sittings, which I guess is fine... But it feels like that many corn chips ain't healthy. Main concern is my salt intake.
