@Author2024 @ask_aubry Also, her new, higher appetite? Takes her to eating twice a day

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@Author2024 @ask_aubry She previously struggled with binge eating, so essentially he's just switched her eating disorder back on, within a day of finding out that she has new insecurities

@jgharris7 @laurenlself So when the value crashed, banks were stuck. Their funding plans depended on selling these things, and they could no longer do so. It's what did in Northern Rock

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@jgharris7 @laurenlself Yep, that's my memory too. Essentially, you could buy AAA, and have the max protection, or get a better coupon and less protection. But also, the bank itself was only on the hook for a small % of the total risk, so they felt ok loosening their underwriting standards

@HowardLawrenson @welshdragon1979 @CrimeGirI We had a similar issue with the older leccy meters

3 engineers later, we eventually got one of the newer, smaller ones

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@ask_aubry So, 2 days after they first exist? Because we count days of pregnancy from the previous period, which is, on average, 14 days before ovulation

Although my cycles are way long, so at 16 days I probably hadn't ovulated yet

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@Octalthorpe @ask_aubry Also, you literally do get something that feels like contractions in late pregnancy. Bad Braxton Hicks could definitely have a first time mum thinking she was in labour

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@uppittynegress @ask_aubry Sounds like initially the mom broke contact with the abuser but allowed contact with the grandparents. She then blocked them from unsupervised contact, and after grandma enabled contact with the abuser, broke contact entirely. But dad didn't, and I would not trust him

@MikeRoyce @john_chu The deal they signed gives creators more money after the first season IIRC, so they can a lot of shows after one season

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@Author_NancieN @ask_aubry I saw a story from someone who rescued a feral cat who hadn't learnt to miaow for human attention. When she had kittens and saw the human response, she started miaowing

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@BtwnThesePages @jennygadget Given how much power is needed by data centers, if we shut down a few LLMs and killed off crypto, a much higher proportion of our electricity needs could be covered by renewables

Not that this changes the underlying point that public transit is needed more than new cars

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@Karnythia It's not even going on pack colour. Coke Zero is black text on red.

This is red on black with a clear, high-contrast booze logo in white

That said, I did check, and Coke has used black in the branding for a change in the coke zero recipe. Not helping

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@bigfartinchurch @YaBoiDatBoi2 @HannahPosted @JuniperFolly The coloured tips are because cops are stupid

[Word Geek @word_geek]

Hmmm

@ask_aubry The baby is 10 months old so she got pregnant 6-7 months after baby was born. Was his boner was sad?

Also, you don't start menstruating again right after giving birth. If she's BFing, she could have become pregnant on her first cycle

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@ask_aubry Bloody hope she made sure to throw up directly over his clothes and into his shoes

And then fucking run like the wind, girl. It ain't gonna get better

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@vyctorya @ask_aubry Sort of. When I had a small baby, I was being touched all the time. Babies need cuddles, even when they are Big Mad with you. I was desperate for time when nobody was touching me

My advice would be: do housework, and a lot of the comfort work with their kid

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@ask_aubry They have been married 10 years, since the girls were 4 and 6. Ann did step mom-ing for 5 years.Can't help but wonder how much dad did to step up in mom's absence during that time.

They are teens. She respected what they asked for. Including him

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@lizzie_albin @ask_aubry It's not a symbol of love and respect, and a willingness to put the work in to them, and so nobody else can see it that way

I read it as a lamentation for what he lost, and an acceptance that he failed to hear what was said to him

But he would make the same mistake again

[Word Geek @word_geek]

@lizzie_albin @ask_aubry Yes. He repeatedly says that she's still wrong, and that men are never going to hear their wives telling them that whatever the proxy problem is in their marriage is important
