  • The dangers of raw eggs are generally the dangers of getting eggs covered in feces from sick chickens. I only buy pasture raised eggs from small farms, which minimizes the risk of illness (although as a kid I ate plenty of raw cookie dough from regular eggs without incident soo…) This specific chicken egg is from a chicken raised on a natural pasture with at least 108 square feet of space per bird and as much time outdoors as they would like all year.

    Some people just can’t stand the texture though - the egg cooks some in the rice, but there is still some of that runniness for sure.







  • Well the important thing is that you’re here to tell me I’m wrong about what I do and don’t want.

    You may not have any nuance when it comes to whether or not you want to do things, I get it, kind of. A lot of people here seem to be very black and white about either you want to or you don’t and really can’t wrap their head around the idea that others have shades of gray and conditions that can effect whether or not they want to go.






  • I actually love this. So often I have a plan where I’m like “if you actually want to do this thing, then I’m here and happy to be there with you. But if you’re not really interested but just sticking to the commitment because you’re afraid my feelings will be hurt if you cancel…I promise they won’t let’s just cancel.” But if I say this to someone, they could interpret it as “I don’t want to go”, which isn’t true! If you want to go, I want to go. I just want to gauge your level of wanting-to-go.



  • Yeah I’m afraid that if I started selling it I’d have to do business stuff, make things when I don’t feel like it, measure the time it takes me and the cost of materials to set a fair price, worry about if the patterns I’m using are commercial friendly, worry about the actual quality/sturdiness of the plushies because people have expectations when they’re not getting things for free…when I’m not in a position to really need the extra money.

    Hospitals are a great idea but it looks like the local ones here only accept brand-new stuff with the exception of hats. :/ I guess my friends will just have to deal with an excess of plushies lol







  • The truth, in a way that isn’t overly critical of my current employer and emphasizes what I hope to get from a new opportunity. I take it less as “what’s wrong with the company you’re leaving” and more “what are you looking for from a company you’re interested in jumping to”, which has very similar answers but focuses on the positive and also gives them actually relevant information that they can use to help you. They can connect the dots that the reason you’re looking for that is because you’re not finding it there, without you having to trash a company yourself.
