I love otamatones.

I have two baskets and saddlebags on my bike and this shit would easily fit.

The real question is, why do you want to tell jokes about harassment?

I dream of the day I can bike safely to my places. Right now I basically have the supermarket and two bars in distance, and then it’s a mess of double lane roads and highway ramps before I get to any bike friendly paths to go further afield. It really sucks.

36k karma on mine, haven’t logged in for months. Just did and I got the invite.

They’re desperate yo.

Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.

This but with eggs.

Damn. Do they state this in their TOS? That you’re contributing to their training?

The pay and the TASK, holy fuck, being exposed to images and content that most people can’t take in even small doses, and with NO therapy options. Horrible.

They, the scary women! Don’t worry, they can’t find you in your basement.

Christ, we cancelled it a month ago and I feel so fucking stupid. Stupid that we had it for so long for… what? I don’t need anything so quickly that a couple of days delivery makes a difference. Food, water, heat, somewhere to sleep are things I need on a strict schedule. Knock off earbuds and some silicone molds for frozen shot glasses can absolutely wait. AND IT’S STILL FREE SHIPPING, you just add to cart and buy once you hit $35.

And tomatoes!!! Might as well eat ice cubes at that point

I know a guy, I’ll hook you up

He’s going after the beryllium agitator, someone stop him.

I found my job on Reddit somehow, but there are plenty of overseas jobs on LinkedIn and the other major job exchanges. I work in a customer facing role so I look for jobs that need someone to handle customers in X timezones. For example, my company is based in Berlin but they wanted someone to manage the US customers.

NGL the timezone stuff is HARD at first. I am six hours behind almost all of my coworkers so I sometimes get completely excluded from discussions and meetings. I occasionally have to wake up early for things (4am product launch…) and there isn’t the technical help available after noon my time, so I have had to develop my own troubleshooting and coding skills. And of course it can get lonely when there’s no one else about.

But they fly me out to HQ every year and also offsites in Rome, Spain, and Portugal. So it’s an alright tradeoff.

Holy shit I’ve never considered this until now. Survival skills intensify…

I decided to only work at overseas startups so there’s no chance of a “oopsie we retracted WFH”. I’ll be selling my car this year, I already have the electric bike to replace it.

One thing I’ve learned from 25 years of work experience is to never get paid in promises. Sure, they maybe backed up the offer in writing, but six months is a long time for you to make good on a commitment for them to have a ‘restructure’ that somehow prevents them from making good on theirs.

I hope you found something else more awesome since then!

Yeah most pizzas run 300-400 cals a slice. If I really try to go easy on the cheese I can make a tortilla pizza for 500 cals.

I also make a wicked delicious lasagna without pasta sheets (sub for zucchini and kale layers). We designed it to fit our keto macros and I’ve kept it on rotation even though we’re only moderate low carb now.

Yes! We use mission low carb wraps (they seem to crisp up better) and spread tomato puree on top, then season it with garlic salt and Italian herbs, add clumps of grated cheese, and then toppings.

The trick is to preheat the oven to 400 with a cast iron in, and then spray with oil when you take it out ready to cook on (use gloves, it’ll be hot). Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot pan, return to oven, and cook for 10 mins. Depending on the toppings, and if you like it a little more top crispy, switch the oven to broil at the 8 min mark for the last two mins.

My new obsession is a little smidge of grated brussel sprouts (don’t knock it til you try it) with an oil spritz.
