They're pretty addictive, but solely because of the texture. Crispy yet melty. The taste is almost non-existent though.

You can buy bags of communion wafer scraps for cheap here. Well, they used to be actual scraps, but nowadays you get full uncut wafer rectangles in the bag so I think they just produce them on purpose.

My company is a horrible work environment. Anytime I go in person, I work half as fast and get tired faster.

Noise, distractions, bad ergonomics, meh hardware...

Canada, that actually has land really close to Greenland: haha let's play a silly war of flags and alcohol over an island no one cares about, it'll be fun.

The US, that has absolutely nothing to do there: all your base are belong to us

YSK that Bitwarden will require you to enter verification codes sent to your email before letting you log in, starting February 2025 (Edit: This is for those who aren't currently using 2FA) in c/[email protected]

[–] Eiri 17 points 2 months ago (10 children)

I hate this so much. My Bitwarden password is the one thing I know. I'm not confident I could ever learn another password, especially one I barely ever need.

And 2FA? What if my phone breaks? My 2FA recovery codes are in Bitwarden.

Ugh. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

I'm stuck at home for the next 9 days, what should I do? in c/[email protected]

[–] Eiri 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd try to use that time to study a language I've always wanted to speak.

I'd probably fail and do something utterly unproductive, but maybe you wouldn't.
