Nah that’s fine IMO. Even better is to make it oil-based instead of tomato-based. Use the oil the sardines came with and add some butter and garlic.

Oh this post just reminded me to take the bins back in. Thanks.

What’s behind her and why does it have a vein?

I’m attending a conference on Thursday and Friday, so today is technically my last work day of the week. So hell yeah, it’s Wednesday my dudes.

Pfft, I see them everytime I go to the grocery store. /s

I start wetting my hair so I don’t feel like I’m wasting water.

That’s why I don’t clean all the webs on my front porch, totally not because I’m lazy. Whenever I get unsolicited visits from pest control companies, I see their eyes roaming around my front porch as they do their sales pitch, excited to point out all the “pests” in my house.

I’ve been very happy with Mullvad. I hope they never enshittify.

Because back in my home country, government salaries are abysmal. Yes the pension is great, but you’ll basically be living on a low salary that is just enough to get you by, your entire life. A career in tech paid more than double (sometimes triple) and you can invest for your retirement in other ways to supplement your social security benefits.

It was basically advice from someone who lived in a time when government was your best option for a job, and tenure was more valued.

Yeah. When I was 2 years into my working life (in tech), I was still taking advice from my dad (who worked in two government agencies his entire life). When I told him I’m switching jobs (for the first time), he told me to consider working in government because the longer you work there, the better your pension at retirement. This was at a time when the tech boom was starting, IT jobs were becoming the highest paid in the market, and switching every couple of years gets you paid better than a promotion. As a 20 year old in tech, the low salaries in government wasn’t exactly enticing.
