I work from home and don't have much of a social life. They're desperate for a break from me.

HAHAHAHA! I know, I know, I'm getting a lot of my food from the food bank lately, so I feel extra terrible about throwing food away. I hadn't really looked closely at them until taking those pictures today, and I already tossed the second one. Since they're fermented, white sediment is normal and expected, but I just don't know if that's what I'm seeing at the top of the first jar, or if it's something else.

Whole baby dills are my favorite. I think the brand I like best is also fermented?

Anyway, I went on a bit of a pickle bender quite some time ago, bought all sorts of pickles to find my favorite. I somehow wound up with 2 open jars and 1 unopened, all of my favorite. After some time had passed, the jars that had been open began developing some stuff on the sides of the jar above the water line. Since they're fermented to begin with, and the brine is supposed to be cloudy I imagine it's totally normal and still safe to eat, but it's weirded me out, and now they've been sitting in my fridge for over a year because I feel guilty throwing them away until I know for sure, and I can't open the third jar knowing I already have 2 open jars.

Edit: I took some pictures. I think one is likely safe, the other likely mold? ::: spoiler Safe? :::

Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. The fewer purchases you make through Amazon, the less power they have. If you have to shop there occasionally, that's much better than shopping there always. I cancelled my Prime a year or two ago, and I've adjusted to life without super fast shipping. And, if you can afford it, paying a few extra bucks to a less shitty company is worth it to support them.

Also switched over during the API drama, but I think only my first account (kbin.social) is lost. I did stop by lemmy.world for a bit, and think I also tried piefed.

Wow so I read your link, and I don't see anywhere that it explicitly says it was caused by the massage gun, just that it occurred after use of one, and that it may have be the cause or at least contributed to it. Strenuous exercise seems to be a common cause, and since the reported case was someone training with a coach, strenuous exercise doesn't seem that far fetched. But you are correct that the OP article explicitly claims the massage gun caused the rhabdomyolysis.

My wild ones pretty much just want to get away from me, but I'm starting to think domestic animals seem to know that they don't get the chance to escape us, and I think that takes away a lot of the "flight" and we get more "fight" as a result. I've been hurt way more by cats and dogs than anything wild.

My focus is specifically cats, mostly kittens. I've fostered both friendly and feral moms with young kittens and have only been bitten by the friendly ones. I need to check on the kittens daily to weigh them, and feral moms have been all "flight" when I reach in to borrow their babies, letting me do whatever as long as I leave her alone. In my experience, it's only been the friendlier moms that sometimes get defensive of their babies.

The first time I ever gambled, I put $20 into a slot machine, a few minutes later I was up to $60, and another few minutes down to $0. So, I don't know if you'd consider that losing $20 or $60, but that's the most I ever lost in a day.

I've come to the conclusion that speech to text has played a significant role in the disappearance of commas. When things are written via speech to text, it almost never had any commas unless they say "comma", and almost no one ever does. From there, I guess people just get used to not seeing commas, and even when they're typing, commas don't cross their mind.

It's a pretty big pet peeve of mine, and I find it super frustrating to text with people who frequently used speech to text.

I think it depends on the beach. If it's somewhere with lots of other people, somewhere super accessible, then I kinda expect it. But if it's a less populated beach, maybe one that's more difficult to get to, I probably chose it in hopes of listening to nature.
