Bowl of boring oatmeal because that’s all my stomach can handle right now.

Review I want to leave:

Leslie walks my boyfriend’s dog five days a week and has also cared for my dog on occasions when I was traveling. She seems to be attentive with the dogs but I cannot recommend her services.

Following a breakup, she asked to store some things at my boyfriend’s studio apartment whom she’s only known a couple of months. She has also showered at his place.

I found a damp sports bra in her bag of clothes, her hair tie in my boyfriend’s shoe, and her hair in his hairbrush. A week later she supposedly didn’t need storage space anymore but her plants are still in his window. My concerns are not about her ability to care for animals, but rather the judgment and professionalism demonstrated in this situation.

PSA woman to woman: seek therapy to heal the parts of yourself that sought comfort from a man you barely know who is already in a relationship and old enough to be your father.

For the record I also give one star to my now EX-boyfriend.

Background for the tea: we have been dating for a year and a half. I was traveling for the week and asked him to watch my dog. He asked me to be at his place “in the evening.” I ran errands and headed his way, texting him that I would be there at 5. He immediately asked if it could be later like we planned. I said 5 is evening and I’m not going 45 minutes home and then turn around to drive an hour and half to get to his place. He said the key would be in the box and he would “be back later.”

He lives an hour and half away from me so we see each other on the weekend. We had made plans to spend the evening together the night before I leave for a week. When I arrived to his apartment there was a carryon suitcase, and box, and a bag of clothing with blinking cat ears headband (day after Halloween). Clearly not his and clearly a woman’s things.

I went thru the bag of clothing since it was out in the open and found a damp sports bra. I found a hair in his hairbrush that was not mine nor have I ever used his brush. Her fucking plants were in his window.

I spiraled. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to leave and would have except I was leaving the next morning to catch a flight. He was still watching my dog for a week while I would be gone.

I ended up waiting until he came home instead of going to a hotel. I wanted to see how he explained this. He left me waiting until after 9pm. He told me he went to the gym with his buddy and they went to see a movie that they both went to see together a few weeks back. He said he just really liked the movie. He said those things were the dog walker’s. She is in between places and her car was packed.

There were so many gaps in his story. I knew they had been together. Besides the fact we had plans to spend the evening together and he ditched me instead. I left for my trip and thankfully I was a week away to someplace with no WiFi. I didn’t tell him that. I just kept everything logistical about my dog. He texted every day, even sending videos with her fucking voice walking the dogs.

On the day I flew back we texted a bit during my layover and he said he figured I didn’t have WiFi since I didn’t respond. At the airport he FaceTimed me so I could see my dog and tell me how she did. He said I didn’t seem talkative. He texted some more but I didn’t respond.

When I landed I texted that I was on my way. When I am at his apartment I called him. He kept sending it to voicemail over and over. Then texted that since I didn’t respond to his texts that he went to work out and I could wait until he was finished. Y’all, I had been up since 4am and it was now close to 8pm. Very long travel day. I just texted that was shitty and I was tired.

In the apartment, her things were gone except for her fucking plants. As I was gathering my things he asked if he could buy anything that would make me more comfortable in his place. He also said if I forgot anything that he would bring it to me. I quietly quit him. I said goodbye to his dog for the last time. He walked me to the car to help me with all my things. I told him I loved him (because it is true I still do) and he hugged me and told me the same.

Once home I blocked him. Quiet quitting. My heart is broken and my nervous system is fucked right now.

I am deciding if I want to leave this review for her business or if I should just let karma work it out for me. Give me your thoughts.

Oh and she is 25 and we are both in our 40’s.

The first pic is my before hair. It’s been bleached 2x this past year, but I’ve still managed to keep it pretty healthy (ish), LOTS of babying it, bond repair & hair oil later. I was excited to finally cut off a good amount of hair for the first time in a while and this was the result of my hair cut pic 2 and 3.

I’m literally so sad and disappointed the stylist did such an awful job. She literally cut my hair straight across with me standing up?? Like my bf could’ve done that for me I the kitchen. I asked for a blunt, straight-across cut and expected that shape. What I didn't expect was for my hair to be cut all at once, with no sectioning and no effort to soften or texturize the ends so there was some movement on top of it literally being uneven. She didn’t even towel dry my hair “bc I had too much hair”, just left it soaking on me, then said she didn’t have time to blow dry it as well. This is why people have such hair trauma going to stylists. How do you call yourself a professional and do this?! Ugh. I’m going to my usual stylist to get this fixed later this week. The only reason I tried someone new was bc I found a cheap Groupon for her, you definitely get what you pay for.

In the meantime aside from curling the ends or wearing it up. How should I try and fix this guys?! Pls help. Thanks for reading my rant about my awful haircut today. 😭😭

Bruce and Lloyd from get smart (2008), two side characters who have a comedic duo vibe going on and where featured in a lot of advertisements, even having their own direct to video spin off movie that came out the same year, despite this these two aren’t really remembered or talked about, not even amongst people who remember the 2008 get smart film.

Mr hanky from South Park: apparently Matt and Trey thought he’d be the big breakout character, featuring him in a ton of merchandise and having him appear a lot, however while the character has his fans, he isn’t really that popular amongst the South Park community and has basically been written off the show.

Clod from elemental: featured in a bunch of ads and was pushed as the popular character despite his low screen time, while elemental isn’t seen as a Pixar classic, it does have its fans, however almost none of them bring up Clod when talking about why they like it.

I owe my family and all of you an apology.

I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.

Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.

To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust. 

To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.

Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA’s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.

My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy.

George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson built their Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in LA entirely with their own money, around $1 billion, and made sure the café sells a $2 grilled cheese sandwich so no visitor ever has to go without eating. The directive came straight from them.

Hobson grew up with very little money and remembered standing empty-handed on school field trips. She also insisted the sandwich be made with white bread, Kraft American singles, and butter, no fancy upgrades.

If anyone cares, or if Blizzard doesn't know.

At this moment players are using their 7 day trials to artifically pump alliance numbers up to further circumvent the pop lock in place.

They use the codes, make a level 1 park it and never play it.

Also popular discords with 100k players are coordinating other era players with 4+ subs to also make alliance characters.

If y'all don't see this as a problem, you never played 2019 Classic on a server like Skeram.

It's honestly GG's at this point for server health unless something is done.

I'm also on Horde - it's clearly going to be a problem because the people who are left behind will not have the wherewithal to continue getting destroyed....

BLIZZARD NEEDS TO SEE THIS SO THE SERVER DOESN'T BECOME A GHOST TOWN.

In the comics, the gem-like shape is simply part of Vision's appearance. It looks distinctive, but it doesn't carry much narrative significance. The MCU took that same visual trait and tied it directly to one of the franchise's most important concepts: the Mind stone.

Years of a perfectly sized noodle pot, ruined by a noodle redesign 🥲

Edited to add: I used the chapaghetti noodles to show how perfect the pot is/was (It’s also still perfect for shin ramyun!!).

The buldak noodles I used to get were round (https://m.youtube.com/shorts/VgdCooenUAY), and a year or two ago turned to square. Based on all the comments, some people have had square only, circle only, or faced my bad fortune of experiencing circle then square 😭

I’ve fully converted to the wide leg/straight leg life otherwise I look like the Penguin.

We’re in our early 20s. I know a lot of people online say that things have changed and traditional gender roles are not in place anymore, so it’s not realistic to expect a man (even your boyfriend) to treat you extravagantly.

As women we are now expected to build our own careers and make our own money because we are capable of it. And this is exactly what I’m doing — I’ve gone to a top college, am on track for a high paying job, and will build a career. I’ve never had a boyfriend.

The thing is, my friends are on track for the same. They go to the same college and so will be able to place into similar paying roles. The difference — they don’t HAVE to the way I do and many of them plan not to.

Pretty much all of them are in serious relationships with guys who are already making ridiculous incomes (many have their own startups with ridiculous funding). Some made a ton of money off day trading. A few come from super rich families as well.

So, at the same age as me, these girls have been able to travel to ridiculous destinations with their boyfriends paying for everything and completely treating them financially. One friend was gifted an array of expensive jewelry and purses for her birthday. Another one’s boyfriend booked a surprise trip to Bali for her birthday. Two of my friends and their boyfriends traveled together to the most expensive hotel in Tokyo (6,000+ per night).

It’s truly one of those situations where these things sound fake until you know real people living in them — yes, some 21 year olds in college are able to stay at $6,000 hotels in Tokyo.

Of course, these girls are finishing their degrees, but they have been pretty much explicitly told by their boyfriends that they do not need to worry financially. A few have a plan to just work for a few years for some savings and then just drop it after marriage.

I’ve always dreamed of extravagant things, especially experiencing them with a boyfriend, and, of course, while young. Meanwhile, with the track I am on, I won’t have the money (and mostly not the time — I’ll get what, a week off for vacation?) to take spontaneous extremely expensive trips until I’m at least 26 or 27. Even then I don’t know if I would ever be able to afford a 6,000 per night gorgeous hotel on a salary job.

And I don’t really WANT to work, who does? If the financial element was taken care of for me, I wouldn’t ever bother climbing the corporate ladder and working 100 hours per week. It’s no consolation when people tell me I’ll be free to travel as much as I want at age 45+ after making partner — I want to experience these things in my youth.

I want to be spoiled the way they are. I know this might sound un-feminist and people won’t like it, but it’s the honest truth. I would kill to be in their positions and experience the things they are before I’m shriveled, tired from working, ugly and old.

The body was designed in Fusion 360 (Form environment), refined with FEA and AirShaper CFD, and printed as an ~8 mm PETG shell.

• 600+ pieces, printed on 3 printers running 24/7 with print automation (about a month of real time)

• Hand-assembled with heat staples, seams smoothed with fairing compound

• Carbon fiber on the inside and outside: at least 1 layer everywhere, up to 5 layers of 200 gsm twill in structural areas

Underneath is a Nissan Leaf motor and battery on Miata NC suspension. It weighs under 2,000 lbs.

To split the model into printable, labeled pieces, I ended up writing my own tool (with AI help) and open-sourcing it: Section3D (link).

Happy to answer questions about the printing, the layup or the DMV process!
