we always make pancakes with just buttermilk, flour, egg, vanilla, etc not the boxes of batter.

They are quite yummy. I just prefer waffles.

I've never really been into french toast...I like the idea of them, especially fancy ones at brunch places look interesting. But then if I ever see those, I'm out at a nice place and I'm usually more interested in getting something like eggs benedict, smoked salmon something, savory crepes, a croque monsieur, etc.

I never order out waffles (but I'll steal a bite if my bf orders chicken and waffles), pancakes, or french toast and I never make french toast for myself. I usually prefer savory breakfasts so I rarely make pancakes or waffles even.

Yeah I grind them then use a reusable keurig cup if I'm lazy or french press if I'm not lazy

that's interesting i wanted to work at google. What qualifications were required for the job? you mind me asking how much it paid?

I'm a senior software developer, Bachelors of Computer Science and 6 years job experience out of college.

Here's the Google average for my position. TC (total compensation) ~$353k.

• $191k base salary
• $124k stock (which typically increases in value over time as stock goes up)
• $38k bonus

https://www.levels.fyi/company/Google/salaries/Software-Engineer/L5/ San-Francisco-Bay-Area/

My current position is TC ~$287k? or ???

• $187k base salary (so similar here)
• $10k bonus (smaller)
• stock is trickier since it is private. My offer was $60k/year, then valuation increased that to $90k/year, refreshers try to keep it around there. But depending on an IPO (which we don't know when/if that will happen), that could even double or triple or go down (I'm hopeful though). So this is the biggest variance with Google. Also I don't actually have this money until a liquidation event.

Guys plz maybe I'd ask about gochujang in a different topic (though the title explicitly says pantry, not fridge)

I didn't vote because I wasn't sure if that counted so I didn't mess up your poll =p

aka kriemhilde00

well yeah I turned down google which total compensation there is more than the startup I'm at. But I'm also playing dat unicorn startup gambling game so in the end it could be more here >_>

overall though I just didn't really get a good vibe from their on campus interview, wasn't interested in the teams I was being paired with, and I didn't want to do the commute from SF to Mountain View even with their buses. Was more interested in opportunities where I currently am.

(edit: lol I guess gamefaqs doesn't have the female emoji supported)

We moved our code over to use allowlist/exceptionlist, and primary/replica instead of some places we had master/replica.

Not a big deal.

I don't really think that makes much of an impact on anything, but we also did this when BLM was very prominent along with education seminars (with professional third parties trained to lead them), a bunch of donation and donation matching, and encouraging people to take time off to protest if they wanted to. So there was that too.

You should figure out an alternative form of income that lets you retire sooner. I've done things like stocks, crypto, adult entertainment, photography, resale of collectibles (like old toys) and landlording to boost my income

That and your dev salary and stock, let's be real

Looking back at my fitbit, weekdays look like 15k-18k, but weekends can be from next to nothing (didn't bother with wearing my fitbit on staying in days but I can't imagine it was much) to 25k+ from going out and doing things. Highly variable weekends.

aka kriemhilde00

Precovid I got 15k each work day (I would walk to work which is ~50 minutes one way on top of regular walking around), then I would do spin class on top of that 4-6 days a week. Weekends were more variable depending on if I went out or stayed in.

Barely anything now. Though I'll often go on walks that are ~4.5k, it's not super consistent.

Can't wait to get vaccinated and start going to spin classes again at least.

No plans to be buried with your family?

Probably not.

Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure my parents are listed as my beneficiaries on my 401k, brokerage, etc. Maybe I should get a will together.. I'd like money to be left to my nephews if I die. Just doesn't seem like an immediate concern :p but you never know.

My body feels fine. Aside from the normal muscle tension I've had for years because of anxiety stuff. I'm not worried about being addicted to alcohol at this point. Mentally I'm fine too save for again anxiety.

Alcohol addiction can extremely exacerbate or cause anxiety, just fyi.

Alcohol withdrawals can literally be killer too it's not a joke. So if/when he does decide to go clean, he will likely spend a few days in bed feeling like he's dying, with literal visual hallucinations.

It should be done with medical supervision. They'll prescribe benzos to wean you off without dying.

For people who can't get or refuse medical help, tapering is a thing to look into but requires a lot of discipline.

Except when such side effects show up during clinical trials for male BCP's (along with other side effects like bloating, weight gain, acne, and mood swings, which are definitely completely unique to male BCP's). Then the trials are scrubbed for being unacceptably risky.

lol exactly

This does seem to be a confirmation that the effects are happening above background levels.

yeah just saw they're saying more it's connected as a recent development though still rare

adjl posted...

For context, 30 incidents in 9 million patients (18 million doses, presuming for the sake of being generous that everyone involved got both doses) is a risk of 0.00033% (most of which were non-fatal).

Meanwhile the risk for blood clots on birth control is 0.3-1% but no one seems to care about that
(being pregnant is much riskier, likewise having COVID is riskier too, but guys expect women to be on birth control without giving a shit about blood clot risk like we see with all this vaxx concern here)

This is old news and the percentage isn't outside normal population expectations, and is very rare. Nothing came of it and the bans are being reversed.

red and green chile and sopapillas my favorites

waaaat that sounds amazing, I've only had the dessert kind with cinnamon sugar and honey

Sopapillas in New Mexican cuisine are pillow-shaped fried pastry dough, distinct from Latin American variations. Similar to Native American frybread, they are typically served as a bread, and used to mop up sauces, scoop up tidbits, or are shredded into stews. It's been called "the doughnut of the Southwest", while other authors have said "this non-yeasted, simply flavored bread is definitely not a donut, but it's not really a fritter either".

In northern New Mexico, they are often filled with savory ingredients such as ground beef or chicken, covered with chile and cheese, and served with lettuce and tomato as an entree, but such "stuffed sopaipillas" are a relatively new innovation and are still fairly unknown in the southern part of the state. They are sometimes eaten as a dessert, drizzled with honey or anise syrup. but are often eaten this same way during the meal itself as New Mexican cuisine tends to be very spicy and sweet syrups reduce the sensations of heat.

Sopapillas in Tex-Mex cuisine are a puffed pastry, but otherwise similar to New Mexican-style sopapillas, except that they are always served as a dessert item, coated with cinnamon sugar and served with honey. Many Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma will serve dessert sopapillas as part of the complimentary "set-up": chips and salsa served before the meal, along with sometimes queso sauce, pickled vegetables and flour tortillas and sopapillas served at the end of the meal.

Sopaipilla and strudel were together designated as Texas' state pastries from 2003 to 2005.

Interesting! I'll have to try those in New Mexico some time.

I've been meaning to ask you: have you read Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado?

There's a lot of cool stories.
