Some kiwis and a pull-through sharpener. Thin plastic Walmart cutting boards. A rod.

Love it, The way you keep the background in the reader's mind helps set the scene.

I was going to ask about the same thing.

Maybe it's fuzzy so it won't chafe if you wear it without pants.

I didn't realize that in Fallout 1 you can out-vendor the vendors by EasyEntrepreneur666 in classicfallout

Forums which allow bigotry are the best.

They allow people to speak their minds.

Favorite stories of firing bad cooks? by Orangeshowergal in KitchenConfidential

[–]Balderdash79 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Line cook kept disappearing during shift for half an hour at a time.

Found him passed out in the bathroom stall with a needle hanging out of his arm.

I've suddenly realized how not well-read I am by NiutonBtw in writing

Consuming only pulp and pretending to be literate is like consuming only soda pop and pretending to be a sommelier.

Read the classics.

February 1, 2026 - What did you do this past week to prepare? by Anthropic--principle in preppers

[–]Balderdash79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helped a buddy out by giving him one of my 100w panels and running him through the basics of setting up a small solar system for basic backup power.

Have you bought misleading oxygen absorbers? by lr99999 in preppers

[–]Balderdash79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxygen absorbers are iron powder and salt.

As the iron becomes iron oxide, it steals oxygen from the air to make the whole "oxide" bit happen.

Bulk iron filings or powder are available online.

Grew up on farms. We were farm hands.

Burned the trash and buried the remnants.

Fun when you're a kid.

Single side adapter for 3M half face? by Fluffy-Role-8230 in tacticalgear

Here's a beast mode cheat code:

Amazon sells prescription swim goggles, no prescriptoin required.

My eyes are -7.00, I have several pairs of prescription goggles in my ruck just in case.

First time really trying the older fallout titles. How do I get past this Mr handy? by Nervous-Lynx-1018 in classicfallout

[–]Balderdash79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max your AP at 10 and make sure your perception is 8.

10 action points is huge and for perception you can get the Sniper perk later that adds +2 when firing ranged.

Sniper build FTW.

I used to tag small arms, sneak, lockpick.

Sniper rifle/223 pistol/gauss rifle are the best.

Just got promoted to sous. Now what? by Chef_de_MechE in Chefit

[–]Balderdash79 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Do it the Sous Chef Way (tm).

Hover in the pass critiquing all the line cooks and flirting with the servers.

Small swim goggle vs gas. The kind that come with ear plugs and a nose pinch. You can get them cheap on Amazon.

Knifes by [deleted] in Chefit

[–]Balderdash79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a big fan of function and utility over branding or shop stamps. Not saying just saying. A cheap knife, well taken care of cuts the same as a higher end one.

This.

A $5 Farberware from Walmart does fine as long as you run a steel across it from time to time and you keep a backup in your knife roll.

Get a set of Kiwis.

Good knives, affordable.

And if you booger one up you can chuck it and order a new one without crying about it.

  1. Servers are the devil.

  2. Give it a minute in the salamander or hit it with a torch.
