Also a xennial, And my appendix tried to kill me at age 9, on Mother's Day. My mom thought I was faking to get out of spending the day with her.

And not 9000 in attendance, that is about 1 soldier to every 1.5 attendees.

A filter does not improve the flavor, only changes it, and it removes TDS that help hydrate.

~~Lola Granola? Quiche's cousin, Steve's ex. She set the two of them up in yesterday's strip.~~

I have always confused Lola and Bobbi. Lola does not arrive for a while yet.

I grew up drinking well water that tastes amazing. When I moved from home I have found that every other water tastes horrid (with a few exceptions). I can drink bad water when it is really cold. I know drinking water is good for me, I do force myself to drink it, but no where near as much as that well water.

once that box fills up, give it to a non-profit charity for donation

Wrong, seal up that box and start on the next box. Stacking the new one on top of the previous box.

That looks promising! Still not as good as my Android app was, but it looks better than what we have.

Those look promising and I love Costco's return policy.

 

I registered new accounts (trying to future proof in the wake of lemm.ee closing), and wheel i try to log into them via Mlem I am unable. It simply says something went wrong. However I can log into the instances via web interface without issue.

I am using Bitwarden to fill my passwords, so it is not me getting a password incorrect. All passwords are multiple word/number pass phrases, so quite long.

  • Hyphenation(key): jär‧ki

Noun

järki

  1. reason (ability to think)
  2. sense (meaning, reason, or value of something)
    Siinä ei ole mitään järkeä.
    It doesn't make any sense.

I volunteer at a food bank, and the company that sends us our food decides what we get. Last Tuesday they sent so much produce we could not fit it all into fridges. We were trying to give away cases of the food on Wednesday, but people were turning it down because they had no place to store a case of tomatoes, or cauliflower. This was what we had left after last Wednesday's morning give away. Not pictured the 5000lbs of watermelons, the 2500lbs of onions (those will last a lot longer).

The company that supplies us wants to move from sending shipments every other week, to once a month. This would cause even more no produce loss.

It is so frustrating to have all this food for it to go bad. Even if we got the same volume of produce, but there was variation in what it is we could give it away easier.

Edit: I posted this in a comment.

Because of bureaucracy we have to request this. If it is found out we are giving away the food to unapproved recipients we can lose all of our funding. If we give to unapproved recipients and they in turn give us prepared food to give out, that is okay.

Word got out that we were loading up my pickup with food and taking it to the homeless camps. I did get a number of them to start coming to the bank to get food. But it was easier when I could take stuff to them.

We are not allowed to simply give it out to anyone. This is not like a church pantry where all of the food is donated by the community and's parishioners. There is government funding, as well as private businesses, which I am guessing get their money back from the government for funding this. If we could simply give it to anyone we would not be in this situation.
