Soak your hands in Maalox or milk of magnesia?
I didn't know this was a thing or I would have tried it.
I ended up soaking my guts in bourbon, instead. That also worked.

Yeah, that's a tip my friend's Mexican born-mom gave me. Saved my ass a few times when I cut up habaneros.
Owning a cottage with a small orchard in the Czech countryside sounds awfully appealing. And also like part of the plot from a movie.
We hated gardening growing up, too. My parents always put in a garden and we had to help. It's strange what time and space and not being obligated will do.
I'd honestly rather buy in Slovakia because it's my ancestral home and the countryside out there is insanely pretty, but the travel time and lack of rural infrastructure (public trans, hospitals, electricity) out there make it a bit daunting if you don't own a car and aren't like a survivalist.
Honestly where I live now isn't TOO much different hahaha
I've heard Slovakia is like... one of prettiest parts of the entire world.
Yes, as long as you don't go to the cities.
Oh I generally make it a point not to, these days.
I've started looking at apartments in San Diego, and dear lord everything is so expensive
I'm paying $1350 for my apartment in Squirrel Hill right now, but that's with a garage. I can only find like 4 apartment complexes within a 30 mile radius in a decent area of San Diego for that price. There are a couple of decent ones, some caught my eye in Lakeside, Santee and Mira Mesa, but man everything is so expensive.
I was also confused for why mobile/manufactured homes looked like such a good deal and figured there was a catch. I found it after doing more research: lot rent.
Moving across the country in the middle of a pandemic? Bold move cotton
I would be trying to move in mid-2021. I thought a lot of the positions I was looking at required a DoD clearance, which has taken about a 6-12 months in my experience with a DoE clearance. I have a lease here until next August and I'm going to be absolutely slaughtered with tuition reimbursement penalties (as in like $32k) if I leave before then, so I was hoping to get the offer in like December or January and be able to start in August of next year. We'll see if that timeframe actually works, though.
Nice, good luck man. San Diego seems incredible. I’ve looked at some jobs in Cali, but that’s just too far away for me and the housing prices are insane.
I've never heard anything bad about San Diego, provided one was making enough to live there.
It's my fault my parents didn't leave me Apple stock when they died, I know.
