My car has an aux input cable, so I use a bluetooth-to-aux dongle to play audio from my phone. I I rip CDs to mp3s, then dutifully delete the mp3s after I return the library book. Before I got the dongle, I just played from my phone at a high volume.

Oh! If your library has a Libby or Hoopla subscription, you might get audio books through there.

We learned about food safety ("don't leave stuff on the counter forever", "raw chicken is bad for you"), how to properly hand wash dishes, how to budget for a household, and a bit about the various non-nuclear family shapes. (Yes, I learned about divorce in 6th grade. It just hadn't come up in my life before. No mention of non-hetero couples or non-married couples because, you know, Kentucky in the 90s.) It was a broad life skills class with an emphasis on cooking. Not a clue what we cooked, but we got to use a flour sifter and that was fun.

That's exactly how it is. If the first 10 times you have baked macaroni and cheese it's awful, you're not going to want to try it again.

I also don't like baked apples because I was violently ill after eating apple crumble once. Same with grape Smirnoff Ice.

My first boyfriend in college taught me how to make a roux. It's such a useful building block for all sorts of foods. We'd make leek and potato stew, generally using the fat from bacon for the roux. Highly recommend as a filling meal for college students.

Same. I might be biased because my mom would get the frozen mac&cheese dinner and bake them, and the macaroni was always over done and grossly mushy. The cheese also tasted weirdly grainy.

But there's so much else to pirate: games, books, music, roms. There's a wide world of content out there! (Obligatory don't pirate stuff, visit your local library and ask a librarian to hook you up. Or do. Whatever, IAALIANYL[I Am A Librarian I Am Not Your Librarian.])

It's been a while since I read that classic of heat transfer Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks, but I'd worry about pockets of air getting stuck around important computer components. Like, sure there's a lot of air going past things on average, but not necessarily around the things that get the hottest.

Date balder men.

Look, I can't be autistic. I fit in perfectly with all my board game geek friends in engineering school.

I'm not sure there's enough space in the dice bubble for the die to roll well.

Article from 2014 says it was a factory accident to an 18 year old worker. CW: pictures of his hands post-repair but still bloody.

first link is my attempt to keep the preview from coming up, which didn't work on my app. :(

I'm a public (state) employee. My name, title, and salary are posted publicly. I don't see why ICE agents shouldn't enjoy that same level of transparency.

Underjoke: the girlfriend is also autistic, and doesn't make eye contact.

I love nano. I used to do tech support for a Linux-based content management system (before SAaS take took off).. The customer sysadmins were sometimes whichever engineer was volun-told to do it, so competency varied wildly.

I helped mostly with installs. This might be the poor newbie sysadmin's first time on the command line. Nano was my go-to suggestion for editing config files--all the commands are right there! Much less intimidating than vi or emacs for a newbie.

Borrowing accessories is fine, though.

My pup gets upset if I'm not home before dark. My partner works from home and gives me updates on how angry the pup is, as soon as the sun starts to set. This dog sits and stares at the front door, tiny ears quivering as he grumbles.

Anyways, I obey my curfew. (He's fine if I get home then leave.)

Yes, and then the good stuff is more likely to survive through the ages and be shown off. I think that's what parent poster meant.

I really just want to know where the bathrooms and sitting areas are.

Sure wasn't my industry. It's nearly obligatory to meme your slides and include pictures of your pet(s) on the "any questions" slide.

On the other hand, I'm in libraries. We may be professionals but we're not highly paid 😂
