Unless you're calculating hourly rate of pay as a federal employee - they use 2087 working hours in a year. This is done because it represents the average hours worked per year (with 40hr work weeks) over the 28-year repeating calendar cycle due to leap years.

Man in the nicest way possible, how do you exist on a daily basis?

A lot of people get a lot out of 12 step programs like NA or AA. part of that is the forth step, making amends. This is a process of making a list of the people who you have harmed, and, where possible, and safe, doing what you can to make amends. That might be apologising, that might be returning money that you stole if you did. It might be helping others to make up for the harm you did.

You can't undo the harm you did. But you can make amends. And grieve the shame.

Also I believe that it is important to look at the source of that shame before you were using. A study of iv drug users in Holland many years ago found that 80 percent had been abused as children. So there is a reasonable probability that something happened to you that you were using drugs to mask the shame.

That doesn't excuse any harm that you caused, but that betrayal of trust, if it happened, can also be grieved, in a healthy and supportive way, and healed.

Good luck with your journey. It isn't easy. But I promise that if you keep working, it will get better.

... This kid is genX....

The idea here is to turn the phone off. Not just the sound, not the notifications, the actual device. It's different.

Keep your mouth closed while brushing and only use a pea size amount of toothpaste. I’ve done this my whole life for the same reason.

We bought a mini/compact washer and drying rack. They come with the hookups to attach it to a sink and a drain hose. Most people seem to put it in their bathroom, but I connect ours in our kitchen. The weight is manageable for us to move it out of the way once we’re done but some people put them on lockable wheels. More than paid for itself after a year considering the cost of laundry in our apartment building lol.

Easy. Just don’t be a slob. See? The real LPT is always in the comments.

You have all that but still can’t figure it out? LMAO

Or a different toothpaste.

Vocalizing depending upon muscle strength in the mouth and has nothing to do with you saying mama, dada to the infant. I don't know why more people don't know this.

The act of suckling strengthens lips, tongue which are what we use to vocalize. It turns out the easiest sound to make is 'ta', it only needs a little bit of tongue to do. The next sound is 'da' which requires a little more tongue work, but not much which is why statistically the first word out of a babies mouth is dada, it is easier to say. Making the sound 'ma' require lip strength. Lips muscles are hugely weaker than tongue muscles so 'ma' and 'ba' and 'pa' take longer to master for the baby.

Babies speak as per their physically development not so much what you train them to do.

This isn’t a pro tip

Old enough to type, but having a hard time keeping liquids in mouth. That's a f'n new one.

the correct answer is use less toothpaste

sorry for the question but why can't you just buy a washer/dryer for the beach abode? That you were living in a lux apartment and now have a beach place sorta implies to me you make pretty good $$?

That is 52 weeks / 12 months and it’d be most useful for extrapolating weekly pay or expenses. However, it’s not necessarily gonna help you with monthly expenses and months are different lengths and pay days do fall on the same days (not do months have the same amount of them.)

I just threw up in my mouth. Lol

Brush your teeth in the shower you messy man peach

Close your mouth while brushing and lean back and look at the ceiling

I only use Pam in casserole dishes. There are better oils for frying pans.

Is not a thing. There's isolation membrane and sound absorption boards that go between the studs and drywall. Both require demoing the room to the studs. Then you are still left with sound coming through the door.

Recording studio wall foam that goes on the outside of the walls is probably more practical for op.

You kids have a weird attachment to your phones. I just leave mine on but don't look at it when it isn't appropriate. Say at a sit down dinner, when I'm working, when I'm chatting with someone, or when I drive the god damned car down the highway!
