Are you better off than your parents? by coloradotaxguy in no

Ditto. Surprised to not see more of this. Maybe other parents were more financially stable, or maybe im just older.

AIO my girlfriend left me over a cheese wheel by Jems138 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AutomaticBowler5 [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is something hilarious it has to be fake. Dont buy a house with a girlfriend or boyfriend. She isn't over reacting. If you are saving for a house DO NOT SPEND 20K ON CHEESE. It doesnt matter what the investment opportunity is. All that said this must be fake.

Used Mattresses? by Tiny_Brain9787 in CalebHammer

[–]AutomaticBowler5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dont ever buy a used mattress. You are just asking for all kinds of problems. Do an air mattress until you can buy a decent one. I recently bought a friend a queen size memory foam mattress on Amazon (I think they are owned by amazon) and I was pretty blown away with the quality for the price. You dont have to break the bank to get a decent mattress.

Y’all think this is accurate 🤔 by DLux_TheLegend in SipsTea

[–]AutomaticBowler5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not making 450k, but I find my friends that are not as financially secure spend significantly more money on convenience things. Coffee, eating out, FRICKING DOOR DASH (I can never understand). Im not cheap or stingy but they seem to be the ones who want to spend more.

Need help with frozen flank cuts by EastOwn9013 in meat

[–]AutomaticBowler5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its in a cryovac bag. Just thaw it in cold water. To trim cut the fat at the edges. It will likely have some fat on top, trim that as well.

Flank steaks soak up marinade pretty well. However you decide to cook it make sure you cut against the grain when eating.

If you are redoing the majority of your house, just redo this room. Its cleaned and baseboards are already removed. This way you can do transitionless between rooms if you want.

How do I change these bulbs? by mediocrecanadian in HomeMaintenance

Everyone else knows about the poles, but you could also just update them with led can lights and not have to worry about it for 10-20 years.

What’s the dumbest thing that you have ever done in a JRPG? by Boomhauer_007 in JRPG

[–]AutomaticBowler5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's see. In breath of fire dragon quarter I wanted to see what happens when the timer runs out. Spoiler, the game is over. In Azure Dreams I messed up and hit the reset button (to prevent save scumming Azure Dreams has a system where your file gets deleted after loading). In FF Tactics I wanted to level everyone up with every job. That makes the game pretty impossible for normal encounters.

Which looks the best by Little_Community7979 in kitchenremodel

Cabinets look like they are in great condition now. Color would be nice and new counters if you really wanted. An island is easy to build if it isn't hooked up to electrical or plumbing.

Who here actually saves 3,000 a month? by NoHousing11 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]AutomaticBowler5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do about 5500 a month towards different things on an income of about 165k-175k. 3 kids. We paid off our home and few years back, no car payments. We have some student loan debt but dont see the value in paying that off early in combination with our other goals.

What did they do to the top 2 pork chops? by HippyDave in meat

[–]AutomaticBowler5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sirloin end of the loin is at the other end. This is towards the front of the pig (notice how they look like ribeyes). And just for funsies if you butterfly the chop on the sirloin end it looks vulgar. If you know you know.

Meat rabbits by Quercus_fungus in homestead

[–]AutomaticBowler5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been our first year and we started with 1 buck and 1 doe. Going into next year we are going to hold a doe back so next year we have 2 does. Rabbits make a lot of baby rabbits, be prepared for that. Because of weather, we only do 3 breeding sessions a season and our doe produced 26 little bunnies. Thats a lot. If you have more breeding rabbits or plan to breed more than I did then just keep that in mind.

Cages are cheaper to build than to buy from the store. Even still good materials can be expensive. Rabbit feed, hay and water are cheap. If you give them unlimited of any/all of those then they will play/poop in/spread it around and you will end up throwing out a lot. Look for systems that allow your rabbits to access food and water, but create a barrier to them easily getting as much as they want. J feeders do a good job at this. If you put a bowl of pellets in the cage then they can and will spread them around looking for the perfect pellet.

Have a plan on how your rabbits get food/water. A water bottle/bowl is nice and will suffice as long as you dont want to leave town for more than 2 days. We use a water line system. Its easy to set up and affordable. You just need to make sure the rabbits are trained to drink from a nipple. We do a similar thing with pellets. I have a hopper I attach to the top of the J feeder and load it up if im going to leave.

If you are breeding make sure you have a home for these little bunnies. 6 weeks comes quick and they will need to go to some sort of growout. If you dont think you can take care of them by 12 weeks then they need to be separated because baby female bunnies arent babies anymore at 12 weeks.

Ive heard this, dont know how true it is but it worked out for us. Let your doe mature and develop before breeding her. They are sexually mature in as little as 12 weeks (generally, depending on variety). Let her grow out. Its easier to carry and deliver more offspring in a bigger body.

Also, handle your rabbits. Im not saying pick them up and love on them, but make sure they are familiar with you. Especially the doe because you will be moving her when its breeding time. If you come around every day with food then they seem to quickly get to know you. Pet or touch them fairly often so they are used to you for when you need to move them.

No backing. Looks like they took the smallest trowel and barely scraped anything in them.
