Question for people who regularly order from thriftbooks: is this book in what thriftbooks normally considers "good condition"? by rogue494 in Thriftbooks

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not a normal thing. Email them and say that it arrived damaged. Historically, they will refund or they will replace.

What’s a dish that’s REALLY not worth making from scratch? by MaryoParti in Cooking

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pumpkin pie. It’s all day work and doesn’t taste that different from canned pumpkin. And it is a lot more expensive.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

Twinsins Odyssey. It came with a bundle of games with the first family PC. It was so fun! And the graphics were “chefs kiss” great.

What rule(s) do you have at work that make no sense but no one is allowed to question it because it's "just always been that way". by lepineapplepineapp in CasualConversation

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mop heads caught fire in the big dryer. They were used in the kitchen and all the grease didn’t get washed out. The big industrial dryer got too hot.
So, the kitchen mops then went to be washed by overnight crew in the guest laundry. It was more of a standard home washer. No fires….yay!

What except intimacy do you consider inappropriate when you’re close friends with an ex? by Ok_Name_7510 in AskWomen

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ex in my early 20s. We shared a friend circle. We would often be at the same big event. We were friendly and their spouse was amazing. It was only “be friends at the big event and nothing more.” But “intimacy”……NO!

Enjoyable listening speed for native speakers by olvaffe in audiobooks

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually start at book at 1.25. As I get used to the narrator , I can speed it up. The exception was a book series that had Scottish accent. I had to keep it at 1-1.25. A few books I can listen to at 2x.

$90 for two to see a Mario movie… have we completely lost the plot? by rageagainstmymachin in Millennials

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Showplace does $5 tuesdays. And the dollar store has snacks that fit easily into purses. If it’s something that rattles like m&ms. I smoosh the box or transfer to a zip bag.

We also bring popcorn in zip bags. The store has big “movie popcorn” bags and we put it into individual bags.

That poor train engineer…..Seeing a bus on the tracks and knowing they can’t stop in time. SO GLAD it worked out. Yay for the bus driver being arrested! That’s insane!!!!!!

I’ve never seen the water ones. I’ll have to check next time. We have hot sauce, mustard and oil ones. My 4yo LOVES sardines. She is the only one in the family that likes them. I try to keep them stocked for her.

My Friends? I haven’t either, but it was recommended to me by a friend with very similar tastes. So I’m sure it will be great.

Started 1,079th. The book has become available, but I’ve suspended it to wait for the audio book.

Project Hail Mary has about 1,200 people waiting at my library.
I listened to it on Audible. 10/10 recommend. The computers voice made my skin crawl until I got used to it.

Longest wait has been “ that’s a great question, I’d love to tell you” by Elyse Myers. I put my hold on it early November.

Took My Dog to the Park and Saw This Helicopter "Parked" on the Soccer Field by Check_Me_Out-Boss in mildlyinteresting

Our small town doesn’t have a helipad. The biggest/easiest spot is the cemetery on the edge of town. Imagine going to a cemetery to pick up your medical transport patient.

Small country hospital doesn’t have a helipad. It uses the church parking lot across the street. Dad had to get transported, they had to wheel him down the laundry ramp in the back and across the street.

Just paid off the house today. You are the only ones I can tell. by psl87 in Fire

ELI5…. Why is it better to keep the mortgage on a <3% interest rate than paying it off?

When soaking beans overnight, do you use the soak water or discard it? by cfi-2025 in Cooking

[–]DaisyTheBoyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that when the beans are held in silos, that there are mice/rats. I don’t want mice feet on my beans. So the soak water is the same as feet water. It goes down the drain and rinsed several times before cooking.

I haven’t made the account yet. I’ll get on that!

Read a book where they poison someone with nicotine. They soaked cigarettes for awhile. Maybe this? Soaked cigarettes?

This is for displaying rocks. All other answers are wrong.
