I've done things along this line too many times since having kids lol

Worst lately was trying to get a juice box for the kid and intending to throw away the straw wrapper but instead throwing away the straw and being left with a kid pissed at having no straw to drink her juice box

Our house has all gold colored fixtures and normal knobs.

I got really fed up with having to drop everything to open the garage door that I purchased a black lever type knob so now can open the door with my elbow/foot/bags

Doesn’t match anything else in the house right now but it’s my single favorite change I’ve made to our house

Not quite the same, but my wife bought me one of those silicon rings for $35 because I was finding the metal one from our actual wedding to be too uncomfortable.

Love it and only thing I’m annoyed about now is how much I spent on the original ring vs this awesome cheap ring.

Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.

Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.

He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).

He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately

I still wear a mask but its the fact that others don't think logically about this stuff still that has me most up in arms. Dad has been sick since weekend, mom says I'm going to come over to your house to see her grandkids. Mom comes over and 4 hours later they call me to tell me they both have covid and tested positive. Mom tells me that dad had been sick since weekend....in my head im fuming.

fingers crossed. Just hoping since she wasn't sick, that our 1 hour visit will spare my fam somehow.

Most these guys get paid in stock options.

They likely request it to be timed this way to get more shares of the company off the back of the bad news dump.

It’s like insider trading but on the buy side soo not as likely to be investigated.

Hire a permanent live-in nanny so wife and I could sleep soundly and stress less.

That’s first, the rest I would take time and decide and tell no one except the wife
