For the doorway cover I’d go with a tarp and use some stick-on Velcro strips so it can be hung up and taken down easily

The oven will probably have to be set to its maximum temperature, and a small fan to help circulate the hot air will probably help

You should only use the oven as the heat source if it’s electric, though. Letting that much burned gas into a small space is really bad for you and possibly some kinda fire hazard. There are portable electric sauna heaters as an alternative

Keep in mind that if you have pantry items (rice, crackers, etc.) in the same room as all that heat and humidity, they’ll spoil faster

Otherwise, sounds like a fun project!

sugar is a preservative in that a high enough concentration draws enough water out of microbial cells to kill them or prevent their growth

that’s why honey doesn’t spoil

whatever you’re trying to preserve with sugar, you’ll have to use a very high concentration, to the point it’ll become a syrup- or jam-like consistency. so if that’s not a dealbreaker it’s worth a try

man i wish one of my colleges had had this tradition!

ooh these are good thanks! :)

😂

underemployment, having to move unexpectedly, government careening into fascism, new and exciting health problems, some other shit

ty for letting me vent

this has been an ongoing meme since the invention of the Olympics

somebody did a reverse NASA with the tampons here. the correct amount of condoms to order for the Olympics is probably something like (the number that somebody could use if they were fucking 24/7 the entire event) x (the number of attendees) x (quadruple it for good measure)

I’ll take calling over receiving 10+ texts in a row any day though

this reminded me to unmute my phone ty

that’s me, been trapped in that cycle since I had to pay several months’ rent with credit card during covid

aside from some dings due to high credit usage, my score is good. mainly because i have a shit load of cards i opened years ago, so my average account age is high.

I’m not a particularly responsible spender and have a shit ton of debt, but since I make the CC companies a bunch of money by paying balance transfer fees all the time, I’m profitable. So my score is high.

What a stupid world

fascinating read! surprisingly detailed for how long ago she lived.

also:

William Johnston suggests that it is this answer which captured the imagination of the nation: “She had killed not out of jealousy but out of love.”

what was he smoking? she definitely killed him out of jealousy lmao

No, you’re thinking of a cowboy beetle. A rhinoceros beetle is actually one of these

well i was, and then i turned 30 💀

that sounds more like problems with IRL than problems with the internet

it’ll either be Star Trek (“repair? just put it in the matter reclamator and replicate a new one!”)

or Mad Max (“of course you repair! wait, what’s a ‘new thing’?”)

it puts the wood paneling on its walls or else it gets the economic recession again

weed and microdosing to help open the mind and help it make connections

simulants to overclock that bitch

add a shot or two for Balmer Peak and you get the ideal amount of fucked up for coding and/or IT shit

it does not require a license!
