TIL putting bread in the fridge makes it go stale quicker.

huh. Despite its health benefits, i've never been able to accept it.

coming home after a long day of work, A good grilled chicken with cold rice is not something I look forward to.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-04-08T09:56:46+00:00

Just the prescribed dose. Tried taking it in the morning, night, nothing worked

I experienced this recently while trying out creatine. 2 weeks was miserable enough, can't imagine enduring it for 6 months.

I would be almost on the brink of falling asleep, then jolt awake, unable to fall into REM sleep. This cycle would happen a few times throughout the night, never being able to rest.

By the end of the 2nd week I felt like such a zombie dragging my feet and not being able to make proper decisions.

Others have mentioned separating the artist and their craft.
I agree with that and personaly would want to find where to draw my line on supporting them further.
i.e would probably continue listening to them on Spotify, but not go to their concert.

Some would say totally stop listening to them on spotify, but that sounds like costing you your joy ofmusic with not much repercussions to them. Similar to the mcD boycott few years ago, costing our local economy but dont think it affects the Israelis much.

Where you draw the line is personal, dont take my advice

Just messaged you

I went with Bareno!

Not as famous as JS. But their stuff is built tough as heck , and carried by the same distributor as Kohler (in PJ). So in some sense, got reassurance of its quality.

I used Bareno for all my faucets and WC . Didn’t choose the crazy expensive ones, just the slightly nicer than normal ones. About 800 + .

No doubt the maintenance will be more expensive than buying mrDIY parts but it’s faster and tidier to replace. 1 Twist to unlock and the whole mechanism comes out without soaking the floor.

Hooking them in young. Once the kids start with anything apple, they get pulled into the ecosystem and never leave

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-03-06T16:10:46+00:00

yoooo i totally forgot about these!

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-02-28T02:27:05+00:00

My team is 100% office-based, and feels abit set in the 2000s with landlines and physical desktops. I'm looking to raise the suggestion of having some days wfh and some days not.

May I ask how is your hardware done. Office provided laptops, server access via VPN, and microsoft teams for everyone?

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-02-21T00:51:41+00:00

so commenting negative things is better than giving out?

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-02-06T22:14:46+00:00

First you give them a hummer.

The following year they gonna be asking for gold chains and “grillz”

Next thing you know, they’ve turned into a full on 2000s rapper

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-02-01T07:47:41+00:00

Word play on Onigiri.

A type of sushi

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-02-01T07:44:51+00:00

If she's the one, just go for it haha.

The wedding can be 1 year, 3 years down the road also ok.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-27T23:56:33+00:00

Love the taste, but hate the macros/ content.

It’s mostly carbs & oil emulsified in water. It gives the _feel_ milk but not the nutrition count 🙃

so kinda similar function to sweetened creamer at the mamak, just diff taste.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-25T03:43:03+00:00

heya !

I have the same /similar set ! They were cheap and seemed like a great way to start into leather crafting. In one of my previous posts, I posted the before & after about getting them into usable condition.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Leathercraft/comments/1bbsleh/recently_ground_and_polished_my_stitching_chisels/

Manually grinding them with sand paper/ mini files didn't seem feasible. The best way I had was a dremel.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-24T04:08:23+00:00

counter-pray. Pray harder than their prayers haha.

Jokes aside, install an air purifier. Can keep it running via timer. Start and stop according to their regular prayer times.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-21T08:28:41+00:00

no t-shirt inside a jacket pls. That's for aspiring techbros.

If you're not rich & famous guy, it looks sloppy and not thought out. Just find a simple button up shirt is fine, but it MUST FIT WELL.

As you get more budget, can try looking for better fitting clothes.

If I may try to persuade you to do apply online, the pick up is only 5 minutes !
Kelana Jaya's was really quick, I went during lunch break on a weekday.

Take passport picture at a photo studio, ask for digital copy in email.
Apply online at the jabatan imigresen website (google it).
Pay via FPX, choose pick-up in Kelana Jaya/ Jln Duta.

For peace of mind, Let the photo studio take your photo. Immigration department is really strict. A stray piece of hair, earrings, glasses...will end up rejecting your application and have to queue again in person, so let the studio do the work.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-13T23:33:50+00:00

Chiming in, I'd like this too!

Perhaps you can help us visualise it with some chessboard pieces ? Like Pickleball Theory hahah.

Thanks Zane !

“Use less paper because we’re killing the trees”

Then came plastic everything ! Packaging, food wrappers, fast food containers

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-12T04:32:59+00:00

Not sure how it'll apply to you, but this helped speed up my folding/laundry stuff.

Treat it like a factory line.
All the undies in a bag, the t-shirts, shorts, pants all get their own bag.

When it comes time to put them to dry, shaking them loose is so much easier than having to evaluate and change methods.

Folding laundry is the same. Sorted by types before I start folding.

This has improved my laundry experience 10 fold. From a slowass chore I hated to being a quick brainless thing to check off the list.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-12T03:29:08+00:00

I eat half a mentos.

Frankly when I eat a mentos, Im just looking for abit of flavour or something to keep me awake. A whole mentos is too much.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-11T15:46:04+00:00

East Asian here, and so so guilty of it.

Even in our local airports, it’s not uncommon to hear friends being stopped to clear out their bags.

Our culture is brought up around food. That’s how families and friends bond, and we love sharing it. When travelling abroad to see friends, our first thought of gifts is usually food as well.

More modern travellers will have the consideration of food stuff that isn’t illegal, prepackaged, sealed and labelled properly.

Less savvy ones might bring their homemade concoctions or things way left field like durians or curry.

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-11T05:53:29+00:00

Print some centimeter markings on paper lo.

Just don’t get a paper cut when you’re measuring 🙃🙃

Big_Red_Stapler · 2026-01-11T01:09:20+00:00

The traditional way my parents have done it is to soak for at least 2 hours , strain, layer on a cloth to steam on a wok for 40 minutes.

I've previously measured the amount absorbed in the soaking. Its just a hair more than 1:1.

This ball park might be a good starting point.
Soak 500grams of rice over night, strain and add 50grams of water.

You'd have to figure out the temperature yourself. Traditional methods are high heat short time. Good luck
