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.

The subscription fee will only apply to people who make an account after August 21. Those who downloaded the app and made an account before August 21 won’t have to pay. But everyone will have to make an account; some people have been using the app without one until now.

I went to the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris yesterday and one of the exhibits was focused on this. Neat to see a lemmy post with the same artwork used to advertise the gallery.

Does loss of access to Champaign or other wines with geographic restrictions carry enough weight to get folks to realize that we’re too far gone in terms of fighting climate change? It’s a material impact that will change the way people interact with wine. Will the winos rise up?

Who am I kidding… Nothing will change and my children will fight in the water wars of 2045…

Cool, do it

A good follow up to that is uncut gems

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.

And other major expansions for elden ring and FFXIV released recently. There’s potential overlap in the player base. 90% is a big dip though.

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)

Hell yeah - this is great news.

The perfect summer treat

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.

Comma at the wrong place in your title makes it confusing and hard to read

It looks like she stopped practicing last year in order to focus on her pro-life political stance. I personally know one physician (my partner worked with them previously) that works at this practice… And they’re not a right-wing nut. Ingrid on the other hand…
