+1 for Firefly!

“What do you mean lower myself, that’s the only thing I’ve ever been. Just a simple human that couldn’t save a little girl, even with alchemy.” 😭

“It’s a terrible day for rain.”

Any talk of “we” from the boss really means “you”. It’s exceptionally maddening when the boss is already a POS who has an A+ for delegation but F- for teamwork and care factor.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Thanks, I’m never going to look at these the same again.

I’ve just woken up so apologies if I haven’t understood and answered this correctly… But there are travel cards that people use to convert currency. I personally have used Wise and Revolut.

We are a rare breed for sure. Always happy to discuss any topics related to my job any time, but not argue or try to convince people they’re going to get someone sick. I do that enough during work hours.

I’m an environmental health officer, formerly a food technologist. I inspect food businesses (home businesses all the way up to big manufacturers), childcare facilities, hospitals, accommodation (hotels, motels, aged care, rooming houses), beauty businesses (nails, tattoo, waxing, etc), recreational water (pools, beaches, lakes, etc), wastewater systems.

I investigate complaints regarding any of the above, pests, environmental pollution (dust, noise, nuisance complaints), secondary impact assessments (after a major incident like fire, flood, earthquake), food borne illnesses, communicable diseases, food recalls.

Not an inclusive list. We are on the prevention side rather than the reactive side like nurses and doctors, so we tend to go unnoticed.

I don’t think there’s an active community anywhere for EHOs. Anyone know of any? I follow some food communities, but that’s it. I don’t get involved with people arguing about food safety on the internet because there are some people whose minds can’t be changed.

Edit: Sorry, this came out way longer than I expected. Still in bed, haven’t had coffee yet, still kind of groggy… But it’s the weekend.

My kitchen knives, definitely. Just came back from Japan with an expensive one, so it better last my whole life. Also, if I move countries, it isn’t something I have to buy again because of different outlet plugs and stuff, and it’s not heavy either.

I hear ya. I’m not a fan of the smell either, but for what I use it for, it works wonders. I also use Lucas Paw Paw when I can. It smells way nicer.

Why did your grandparents ruin Vaseline for you? Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Just wondering what kind of detriments I could be doing to myself by using Vaseline.

Oh boy. Please explain. 😬

Vaseline. Is that non-standard? It doubles as lip balm and for those really dry patches of skin that come around (currently in Japan and it’s been dry af). Or even for small cuts, or used as hand cream.

Also can be used as a fire starter (for camping, just to clarify!).

I’ve just boiled the room kettle a few times, and leave the shower and bathroom door open before bed (not during a shower). Helps a bit, anyway.

When someone I’ve gifted food to sends me a message later in the day telling me the food, bread, whatever was sensational. It tells me that I’ve nailed their food preferences and tastes. I’ve done a good job.

Food is my love language and it’s how I like to say thank you and show appreciation.

This shows how much I didn’t enjoy the second one - I couldn’t even remember if there was one or two sequels, but I do remember there was supposedly another instalment in the works.

I only liked the first one. The ones after weren’t so good.

“THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!” Willen Dafoe was brilliant.

Boondock Saints. It’s so bad, but I love it.

Lavos. :(
