Started keto (low-carb diet) last weekend. It's a bit more work to prep food if you can't eat grains, but I'm playing it smart and bulk prepping food on the weekend. This not only means I can be lazy during the week and just reheat food, but also that I'm eating a yummy non-bread lunch which is eyed with envy by my colleagues. And if all goes well, I'll lose weight. If you want to succeed at something, it sure helps to figure out the pitfalls and turn them into wins.

Bulk-prepping food is -amazing- if you have the time to do it. It is especially good for me because I lack the ability to gauge quantities for fewer than four people, so I always end up with leftovers!
The only sad thing here is that our freezer is really quite small, so I can't do it as much as I used to.
I only have a little freezer shelf in my fridge, but I got smaller containers that I can stack nicely in there. Plus not keeping a bread in there has cleared some room I've considered a standalone freezer but it would need to be in the kitchen and would probably be in the way. If I weren't renting I'd probably have it built into one of the shelves. And get a dishwasher while at it :P I am however glad that the kitchen has a really good oven. Roasted chicken breast for a whole week in there. Nicely crisp on the outside, and the inside is still juicy but perfectly done. Am a fan of oven cooking anyhow, means you don't have to stand there and watch it. Same with microwave steaming veggies.

Earlier today my laptop gasped out her last breath, a wheezing cough of stray processes and overworked RAM.
I salvaged what I could - a little drive containing 240GB of all my memories, logs, and (of course) files.
So I got to work. Tore out the hard drive...
Reseated
it in preparation to install into my desktop (which prior to today had
no WLAN connection because I'm a doof and forgot to include one in my
schematics when I built it last year; I've just been using my laptop for everything online instead) And now here we are!
It's
a pretty ghetto setup at the moment, but I'm quite pleased that I was
able to cannibalize the parts from my laptop and keep them working in
the desktop. Not a single lost byte of data!
Note: The WLAN card (and, much more harrowingly, its driver) was also reassigned to the desktop, but that's less exciting.
Much less so than the optical drive, at any rate.
The Necromentate's mind opens to you, and a grotesque, demonic figure appears in your mind's eye, screaming in torment: "THE DEMON LORDS CAN NEVER TRULY BE KILLED - GREAT IS THEIR POWER."
You shock a platinum-coloured geomycus with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora. A platinum-coloured geomycus slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, Ptoma Hive should follow the Grand Empire of Magnagora after all! Shouts rise up from Ptoma Hive, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Grand Empire of Magnagora.

Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
You have to understand, I've never seen other people leave the portal. They're all me.

"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
My job interview went well, and I have a follow-up interview (before a panel, no less) next week. Wish me luck!

Woohoo! I finally managed to secure a stall area at one of the local markets this weekend, now I can REALLY get my business out there and people aware of my products ^____^
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

Very nice! I remember the first time I got a booth at one of our local Renfaires.... Exciting stuff!
Out of curiosity what kind of products do you make?
Mainly bodycare products such as soaps, lipbalms, etc - though I have recently started making handmade scented candles as well (which have been surprisingly popular)
