I deal with humans on a daily basis too. It's basically the same conversation every day. "A bowl to go. White rice. Black beans. Chicken. Veggies, extra veggies. Queso. A little pico. Corn. Extra Corn. That's it."

Is that promo code good for anyone? I'm pretty fat too, so I kinda feel like it should apply

Its free range flavored pasteurized egg whites. Just started using em and they are tastey as fook. U can cook with them or just drink them. The pastuerization process makes them the consistency of milk (in no way slimy etc). The mint brownie literally taste like girl scout thin mints. Price works out to be just under 2.50 per dozen. They are currently having a sale BOGO bringing the price down to under 1.25. If u eat lots o eggs or are trying to lean up I highly advise gettin em
How does this cook? Does it turn out like normal egg whites?

For me I took a week around Thanksgiving, a week around Christmas/NY, 2 wks Chinese new year, 2 weeks in the summer and then a random Friday here or there.
About the same here, senior level and up get unlimited PTO at my company.

I took a week for Thanksgiving, a week in May, 8 workdays for December holidays, and then 1-2 days a month randomly during the year.

I'm about average for the finance side. The technology group we support probably averages ~15-20% more than that.

What is "free-range flavored"? What does free range taste like?

idk I just buy the hard boiled eggs from costco and pop 2 in the morning. I like the yolks.
12-15-2018 , 11:13 PM
I thought the current thinking was that egg yolks are good and that the egg white thing was kind of a pointless fad.

Though all of these things bounce around. Another guy was saying brown rice is bad and white rice is good now.

Anyway, I want to be the first to sign up in Squid's stream. Then all you guys can sign up under me.

Egg yolks are good.

I think the egg white thing is more for people who just want the protein without the additional calories of the yolk.

But in that case I would just go with a good whey protein.

Damn, waited too long so now today's human interaction will be: "I'll take a Monterey Melt, sandwich only and a large fries. That's it." Subsequently followed by "Spicy Ketchup Please" and an occassional "She can't bite you from there."

I mean 18 days is a long time tho
12-16-2018 , 12:54 AM
Depressing would be having to play 1/3 everyday with a $4k roll.

Thinking that there are millions of people in the world who will live completely miserable lives that are undeserved and there's pretty much nothing I can do about it is pretty depressing.

PSA for doggo owners. I think I mentioned we switched to blue buffalo...man, there is a noticeable change in my dog. She is 8 now but has reverted to 2 or 3...very playful, energetic, engaged. The difference is night and day. Only regret is that I didnt do it sooner.
12-16-2018 , 11:15 AM
What's your pup's name, Ava? Give her some ear skritches from me.
12-16-2018 , 11:40 AM
Sydney. I thought I was soooo clever bc she's an Aussie mutt, mostly mixed with Blue Heeler (another awesome breed).

She loves herself some ear skritches and says thank you.
12-16-2018 , 11:42 AM
What dog food did you feed her before?
12-16-2018 , 11:44 AM
Purina Dog Chow. I'm a terrible person, I know.

I was honestly pretty ignorant of the whole grain thing...now that I see her energy change I'm more confident than ever that I will be going little to no grain as well in 2019.
12-16-2018 , 11:50 AM
Aussie's are awesome dogs. So smart and friendly, if a bit likely to destroy things when bored. Never known a Blue Heeler, but they have a rep for being very laid-back, so maybe that cuts down on the Ausie nervous energy thing.

My sister finally got my mom to switch to high-end dog food. Mom: "he loves Purina, why should I switch?" Sister: "Of course he does. You're basically feeding him nothing but nachos. Delicious, but not healthy."
12-16-2018 , 11:55 AM
I would definitely stick with no grain. I've switched up my dogs' food multiple times over the years to correct various ailments/allergies and each time I've discovered that the food was not the source of the problem. That being said, all the foods I've given them are grain free. My 16 year old Chihuahua eats Blue Buffalo.
12-16-2018 , 12:07 PM
Garick, check out this awesome video about a blue heeler named Skidboot. They are crazy smart.



I've had several doggos and always took a lot of time to train them, but Sydney seemingly understands the English language.

Example: She'll come out into the living room all proud and happy with a sock in her mouth. I'll say "what are you doing?" in a low tone. She'll calmly put the sock down and look at me. "You better go put that back". She calmly picks it up and goes and puts in back in the hamper.

It is weird and sometimes creepy.
