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.
Every day. My boys get 1/3 cup of dry food and a can of wet food. They’re both ~11 lbs, trim and healthy. Cats shouldn’t be on a pure dry food diet if possible.

A good follow up to that is uncut gems
No, I have a subscription to Brandywine - they’re based out of Wilmington, Delaware.
It looks like what happened is that the roasters listed didn’t inform the FDA properly of their roasting processes, which led the FDA to assume that the coffee may be a vector that is conducive to botulism.
No cases were reported because of this, but the recall is out of an abundance of safety.
It’s a distraction from the fact that their candidate is a felon x34 (at minimum)
OC as in stolen from Reddit. Pretty sad.
Hell yeah - this is great news.
The perfect summer treat
Mad love for Qobuz.
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.
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

I enjoyed it, it’s an artsy Japanese film directed by Paul Schrader who wrote Taxi Driver. Unique and engaging film that touches on gender roles and fighting for “valiant causes.”
I liked the cinematography and how they wove the chapters together.
