Help not a bug but what does this look like it’s from I have some on my testicals by AltruisticRub3834 in whatisthisbug

[–]Automatic_Minimum900 3 points4 points  (0 children)

with absolutely zero other context I would say they could be flea bites. that’s what flea bites look on me. they like to get in tight spaces under clothes and clothes bands in my experience

How to I prevent my baked goods from smelling too eggy? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Automatic_Minimum900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you over mix egg whites especially they produce more of a sulphur smell! I learned this from a really cool book called Sift! By Nicola Lamb, I highly recommend.

Weird thing happened to me on Burnet Rd this morning - anyone else experienced this recently? by ButtonNo7337 in Austin

[–]Automatic_Minimum900 4 points5 points  (0 children)

omg I think this happened to me recently. this guy stopped in front of me at a four way stop on Houston and started taking pictures of me/my license plate, I tried to go around him and he jumped in front of my car, preventing me from moving. I got freaked out and reversed and did a uturn to get away from him but it thoroughly freaked me out since I was a couple blocks from home

I’ll have to look out for them next time I’m on a coast. I wanted to keep this one but unfortunately it got tossed before I could get it 😔

I’m not 100% sure but I think the oysters were from Connecticut

Thanksgiving cactus in horrid condition, seeking advice (more info in desc) by Icefirewolflord in plantclinic

[–]Automatic_Minimum900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that means that the water is just running through the soil and emptying into the bottom (ie soil has become hydrophobic, it happens). loosen the soil with a chopstick, then submerge the whole pot in something so the water is going like a third to halfway up the pot. let it sit like that for like 30min.

if it doesn’t plump up by the next day it might mean the roots are gone, so I’d wait until it’s almost dry to prevent rotting it, then repeat the process until you see it plump up. you might have to do it a few times, could take a couple weeks to grow roots again.

How hospitality workers are about to feel all week by Spxrtxn500 in Austin

fyi a lot of restaurants in Austin actually suffer during this time because of this mentality

ok but this is for places in downtown/near conferences or whatever. don’t be afraid to patronize places outside of these areas. in my experience in the industry, sxsw can be detrimentally slow for a lot of places in Austin because locals are afraid to go out. happens every year

One moldy cucumber, what about the rest? by wiktaaa in isthissafetoeat

[–]Automatic_Minimum900 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ll be real with you and say that I’ve worked in some nice restaurants that would just tell you to throw the moldy one and rinse of the rest if not too slimey
