That’s kinda just an extension of the reference thing
- Comment on Two weeks notice 8 hours ago:
Two weeks notice is a courtesy to keep things civil so you can use them as a reference. It’s not a legal requirement, the only consequence for not giving notice is that you won’t get a good reference, but if you don’t care about that then be free.

- Comment on Hmm which one I guess? 1 week ago:
Do they? I haven’t checked, but men and women do tend to focus on slightly different things: men tend to focus more on upper body and building mass, women tend to focus more on lower body and toning. There’s a lot of overlap for the basic compound exercises, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some differences.
- Comment on Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice. 1 week ago:
Exposure therapy. I worked as a server for years specifically to build the social skills I lacked. People want to chit-chat about mundane nonsense, that’s the norm. We’re the unusual ones for not being interested. It’s trite, pointless, and boring. But most people like it, and don’t like people who can’t at least fake it.
Being able to make small talk is socially as important as basic hygiene. No one wants to associate with someone who looks and smells like they crawled out of a storm drain, and no one wants to associate with someone who ignores or belittles their attempts at small talk.
Purely socially, I say let the boring people filter themselves out of your life. Professionally, you need to have rapport with your coworkers, you are part of a team. If you’re going to work in a field with an implicit social element, you are going to have to learn to navigate that social element. Otherwise you’re going to continue to have these conflicts.
That means finding at least a subset of typical conversational topics to engage with in a friendly way. That means masking with some degree of warmth and compassion. That means refreshing the issue from everyone else being banal, to you being unable to integrate with banal people. That’s most people.
It’ll be weird, and you’ll feel fake or inefficient, but unless you want to shift careers to one with minimal interaction with other people, it’s a skill you are going to need to cultivate if you want any kind of success or progression. That’s just the way it is. Adapt or perish.

- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been on a few cruises in my life, and my favorite part is always going out to the darkest party of the deck in the middle of the night when the ships out in open waters, to just lie there and look at the stars.
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
Mostly the hassle involved to extend the cabinet (color matching, retrofitting, etc), but also the super tight clearance. I already had to cut a notch out of the drawer to clear the range knobs, and even then I still have to open the oven to clear the handle.
I could do a blind cabinet, but I feel like it’s not the optimal use of the space, since those pullout solutions tend not to utilize the full space. That’s why I was leaning towards a short water heater or extending the lower portion of the linen closet on the other side of the wall.
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
That’s super cool, and we do need a dishwasher, but I’m not really keen on sacrificing that much countertop, both figuratively (the space thereon) and literally (the actual granite countertop).
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
It’s normally inaccessible. I had to pull the range out to take the picture.
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
I looked into those for a similar situation in a previous house, but like I said, the proximity to the oven would make that really awkward. It’s possible, but not really an ideal use of the space.
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
I was thinking about that. On the other side of the wall opposite the range is a little linen closet/alcove. It’s pretty narrow, so it would be a bit awkward to access, but it could work for extra pillows and comforters. It’s certainly an option to consider.

It’s almost certainly just cheese with a little sodium citrate. It’s what helps keep melted cheese from splitting.
