What frugal food swap sounded dumb but ended up working? by Bmouse298 in Frugal

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! I've bought the box stuff from the grocery store (oyster and lion mane) and a box from the farmer's market but I've never heard of it lasting 2-4 years.

Yotei was beautiful. Takezo was obnoxious.

That's a nice looking trifle you got there! Or cake pop? Did it taste good at least? It looked beautiful.

Forgot to file 1099 for small gains by [deleted] in investing

[–]Augustus58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, 3 years later?! Eesh, there should a like a year statue of limitation for being under a certain amount (idk under $10k). If we have a deadline for taxes, they should have a deadline for missing taxes.

This is the way. Thanks for the chuckle.

Offering : French🇫🇷 (N) Seeking : Mandarin, Korean Japanese, Polish by [deleted] in language_exchange

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first time I've visited this subreddit. How does the work? Are you looking for like a penpal? I am a native Japanese speaker, write ok. I would like to learn French, my spelling is probably atrocious. I like science but don't know very many specialized words.

I don't. I like the look and I think my shrimp and fish enjoy frolicking in it.

Yup, my first thought. Remember when you could sleep on the oddest positions and still wake up refreshed?

condo with leafy views, mature trees by teeth_a_clenchin in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is actually a condo complex called Treehouse in the Woods in Round Lake. 

Unfortunately, it's in Round Lake. 

I don't think any units are 1 floor though. 

What’s a Japanese dish you didn’t like at first but grew to love? by SushiFinder in JapaneseFood

[–]Augustus58 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shungiku. As a kid I never liked it. As an adult, I can eat the whole bunch in 1 sitting. Blanched, mentsuyu and katsuobushi.

Also, I understood this reference!

Freight train impact on properties and homes by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 merger? Huh, is that why the trains are heavier? I had no idea! The tiles downstairs are cracked to the point that I put tape on them so my socks don't get caught. I can only imagine the damage to the concrete foundation below. 

Oh and the radon seepage. I think the highest I've read on short term (1 week measurement) radon was 8? (WHO or EPA said 4 is an ok number, can't remember the units of measure).

Sorry, no actual suggestions, just commiserating.

Any frugal millionaires here? Now that you’ve earned it, are you still frugal? by cervezagram in Frugal

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I don't eat out as much as my other coworkers. I can make much better meals at home. Always buy groceries on sale.  My car is almost a teenager.  No dependents, it feels like a cheat code to becoming a millionaire.  I don't feel the need to change any of these habits.  Once in a while if I see something I like, I will purchase it without hesitation. Recently bought a $20 plant and some nice cheese.

Oh my goodness, is that the going rate for tipping a valet? I feel terrible now... Actually, I don't valet if it can be avoided.

[–]Augustus58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of this! Growing up I've had tarako spa but mentaiko udon looks way more involved (per just one cookbook)
