I took Friday off to celebrate the release of Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 and played extensively all weekend. Now it's Monday and I'm sitting in the dark drinking my coffee and trying to ready my mind to go back to work and not play video games all day. While I like my job, I would like another weekend now please.

I wish I was better at conflict, especially with my partner. It gnaws at me constantly if unresolved, gives me horrible anxiety (I'm normally not an anxious person) to the point where I can't eat or sleep. So, I tend to hold back from conflicts altogether. Not a useful solution. I wish I had better advice to offer but in place of that, please accept my commiseration. Hopefully some time to reflect and cool down will prove useful and perhaps your partner will have fresh ideas for resolution when you readdress it.

Our vet told us that cats don't really chew their food, they just kind of horf it down and sometimes use their teeth if there's a big piece of something that they can't swallow whole. Kibble seems to horf down just fine!

Looks absolutely delicious! Did you make the pappardelle? If not, what brand did you use?

Echoing the others, this is totally fixable. I recommend buying a silicone gasket rather than the standard rubber ones they come with. My rubber gasket was obliterated within 9 months of daily use, but then I bought a pack of 3 silicone gaskets on Amazon maybe four years ago and the first one is still basically pristine.

Sorry, but my cat eats whole mice. I don't think our tastes have much overlap. I'll trust her decisions on the wet food varieties without personally experiencing them.

I was curious about her utter devotion to Temptations, though, and can safely say that whatever causes cats to go wild for them is not present in at least this human.

My partner and I had fun playing Cat Quest 2 and Spiritfarer as coop games, in addition to It Takes Two which you mentioned. CQ2 is a cute action RPG and Spiritfarer is very chill, lots of sim/management tasks but with really beautiful characters, art, and story. Definitely very unlike Cuphead or Portal 2 but sometimes it's nice to switch things up a bit.

Option A has a description but options B and C don't for me.

Yeah except oyster and other shellfish shells should be returned to the ocean to decompose and alkalize the waters from which they were harvested. Surely there are other means of creating white paint for roofs and then two benefits could be gained for the environment.

Look like they might be common mergansers. Sweethearts!

This is so exciting! I've been missing gyros and sometimes falafel just doesn't cut it when you want that salty meaty flavor. I am definitely trying this ASAP!

One of my personal favorites. I love how it seems so abstract at first but then on closer examination, you can see the distinctive landscape elements. I find the colors so evocative. So different from his other works (that I'm familiar with, anyway).
