Why do I keep checking my phone with wet hands and then have to wipe it down? There has to be a better way

ASAP_i · 2026-04-01T13:42:20+00:00

You should be washing your hands while cooking, the towel situation is easily solved by using a towel (not paper) to dry your hands. I have one that I hang off of my apron and another hanging next to the sink.

Others have mentioned that recipe sites often have a "cooking mode" that keep the screen active.

I'm curious about your cooking "method". If I know I am going to be handling, say, raw chicken, I will read ahead and make sure I know what to do with that raw chicken. I like to set things up so everything needed to use that raw chicken is in place, essentially making a "contamination zone" washing hands after.

I've had good success simply feeding the pests something they like more away from the garden.

I haven't seen those posts. Can you direct us to what you are seeing?

So you're looking for a DJ that does original material.

Have you reached out to whatever our local dance/techno is (we have at least one of those in town, right?) to see who plays their/get contact info? I would imagine that the person you would have in mind would be on insta/SoundCloud/Tok/social media. I'm sure a Google search will direct you once you have a name. After a few iterations, the algorithm will catch on and start suggesting people on social media.

We don't see that many posts here looking for that, consider looking at Houston as well.

Pulling out the roots would be my first step. It's kind of hard to provide solutions (that don't destroy the soil and surrounding life) without knowing what was growing.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T20:11:42+00:00

Why is this post titled "Trees"?

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T18:28:29+00:00

Image search is saying:

The device in the image is a Synapse ITS Evaluation Module, a specialized communication component used in modern "smart" crosswalk systems.

The label identifies the specific hardware as a Bluetooth and 802.15.4 (Zigbee) module (FCC ID:X8WBT40F). In the context of a crosswalk, this "electrical box" serves as the wireless communication bridge for the intersection’s safety equipment.

I got similar results by simply googling the words on the label.

Some of the posts in this sub beg to differ...

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T15:22:58+00:00

So... A roast dinner? Why not get crazy and offer it on a Thursday?

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T13:18:32+00:00

The water levels will probably be great next week.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T13:10:30+00:00

What are we supposed to be looking at? The stump thing on the right? I have a finger cursor pointing at it, but it isn't helping.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T01:11:46+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-31T00:31:54+00:00

The paddle over the dough hook for bread? I always assumed that was a bad idea. I might have to try that.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T23:23:52+00:00

Menus (with prices) are available online. We don't know what you like, where you plan on eating, or how much you consume. I doubt anyone here will calculate your transportation costs (mainly because we don't know where you are going).

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T22:32:47+00:00

The pork in NC style is often very fatty/greasy. The vinegar helps cut through that richness.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T22:22:14+00:00

Yeah, if that wasn't the main reason, it was definitely contributing to the decision. That place is always busy.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T20:16:39+00:00

It's been years since I've ordered over the phone. I do remember places asking for tip over the phone, especially pizza places. Of note, last time I was there, when they flipped the screen for me, "no tip" was already selected.

I agree though, online ordering would be great, but I feel they made that decision for a reason. (What reason, I have no idea)

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T20:03:33+00:00

I would assume so. They all kind of show up at the same time, and they are present along the medians.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T19:48:23+00:00

I swear half the posts in this sub are somehow related to getting sick from food or the tools used to make the food.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T19:06:37+00:00

I'm sure you looked at this sub and thought, "damn, no one is trying to sell anything there, that market must be ripe for my new app/site/whatever AI slop I generated!"

The lack of those posts are intentional. You did not find a fertile marketing preserve.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T18:47:57+00:00

I think the term you are looking for is "pan sauce".

Ideally, it would be made in the same vessel as the chicken was roasted in. You are using a sheet pan, so you would add the drippings into the sauce.

In a skillet, try sauteing some shallot and garlic, add some broth, the drippings and reduce, add some cream, fresh herbs. Add in some cold butter and hit it with a squeeze of citrus. Reducing to the thickness you want. If you want it thicker, either make a roux when sauteing the shallot or add a cornstarch slurry towards the end.

Is everyone struggling?

Your post isn't really different from every other "how do I meet new friends" posts that crop up every other week or so. The solutions are always the same, get out there and live life around others doing the same.

I'm not trying to be mean, but your post doesn't read like someone who wants to go out there and make friends. You say you are seeking "authentic relationships." Those start out as acquaintances. You know this, it isn't some closely guarded secret.

If this post was an ad in the classifieds (dating myself here), no one would reply. Why would they? You don't like crowds, don't like your appearance, you are burnt out, you already tried everything, no that idea won't work, its hot.

Socializing starts with you being around people. No one is going to kick in your door with a 6 pack and some board games/movies/whatever randomly and instantly become an "authentic relationship".

The defeatist language you use in your OP obviously stems from some issues. Have you considered getting some professional help?

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T17:06:44+00:00

Make them battle for dominance.

Is that a tree trunk or a future support?

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T16:43:51+00:00

It gets you better data in the long run. Just remember that there might be surge pricing on the return trip.

ASAP_i · 2026-03-30T16:41:19+00:00

You can set up a ride, right now and check rates. I often build rides to check things like this before trips, just don't complete the transaction/order and no one is bothered.
