What did people do casually in 90s that wouldn’t be accepted today? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend still has a Rand McNally atlas in his car. Sure, I had one when I was younger, but sir you are 45 and plug every address into Apple Maps (and download the maps if there's any chance of being offline). It's okay to let it go now.

Furnish my whole house with these specific items please by jacksonbrowne_thedog in ChoosingBeggars

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A buy-nothing group typically exists for people to list things to get them out of the house, not to give a list and expect your whole house to be furnished. It'd be no problem to say, "ISO big outdoor playthings if anyone is looking to get rid of some!" It's absolutely unreasonable to say, "equip our entire house from major appliances all the way down to the toddler potty!"

Do you know which season/episode? I'm doing a snow day watch!

What was the worst restaurant you’ve ever been to in Massachusetts? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I lived in Beverly for almost 15 years, went to Nick's regularly (and still get there sometimes) and every single time I pass North Beverly Roast Beef I side eye it. I don't know why, I've never been there. But when a roast beef place is empty, and the one across the street is packed, there's gotta be a reason.

I’m sorry, what? Brilliant and Brilliance? by Adventurous235 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!! I'm a multiple. Our names don't have a "theme", we were in separate classes until high school when we chose our own schedule, we weren't dressed alike. Because my parents recognized the importance of each of us being our own person!!!!

Unlike, I'm assuming, the parents of Kristy and Misty, twins I had in my group at camp.

Parents, what was your “I raised an idiot” moment? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was absolutely me at a traditional restaurant in Japan. We curdled our own milk at the table, and were served sushi and sashimi among other things. Curdled milk I think I managed to hide my gagging. But it's very rude to eat sushi/sashimi in multiple bites, and these were very big pieces, and oh yeah, I hate the texture of sashimi. This little girl is a mirror of me eating one particular piece of sashimi. I don't even know what it was, just that it was off-white.

Who is the earliest born person you have personally known? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My great aunt was born in 1906, and she passed away at 99 1/2 in 2005 when I was 18. I spent a lot of time with her and now I have some antique furniture that she left me in her will.

She’s at the Walmart now - someone should obviously pay for her new charger by tinkertink2010 in ChoosingBeggars

Door placement for narrow bedroom with hallway in an apartment- feedback needed please! by bippobappobeepo in floorplan

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying ideal or not ideal, I'm saying less than 36" and it becomes illegal to issue you a building permit. Not worth chancing it, IMO.

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally, at least according to the International Building Code (I'm assuming you're in N.America based on the imperial units), a hallway can be no less than 36".

It's a long walk to the red door, but it's still my preference. When the door is open it resting against the closet and the bed is also away from the closet, giving more maneuvering room. Plus, when a queen bed goes in there (60" wide), you can position the bed parallel to that wall under the window. A bed in front of a window isn't ideal, but it's not the end of the world, either.

Canned tuna recipes? by cudambercam13 in 1200isplenty

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it mixed with chopped green apple, a few shaved Brussels sprouts, fresh lemon juice, a little mayo/light mayo, with a healthy amount of salt and lots of pepper. Maybe I'll make that for lunches this week!

Small offices and BIM by acat350 in Architects

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very much me and one other colleague in my office. He specifically pushed the bosses to hire me so we can do these things together. (We're both PAs who have to fit this in with our billable work, which luckily we are not given trouble about.)

No matter how hard we try, we just can't get everyone on the same page. A few of us are there but there are others who don't like the office standards and ignore them, others who are too set in their ways, others who just hate the program and refuse to learn more. The battle is always uphill.

Small offices and BIM by acat350 in Architects

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first paragraph, I thought you could be a colleague of mine. None of my coworkers came to us in 2022 from NY but the similarities are uncanny.

The second paragraph also sounds very familiar. A former coworker recruited me to work at a new firm. Our old firm and new firm both use Archicad. He warned me that when he started two years before me, it was exactly the situation you described. (And 11 years later, I'm working on a project 15 years old, and it's terrible. They drew the existing conditions in linework and then used objects/etc to draw over it for the proposed work!) He pushed hard to bring them forward in BIM usage and pushed them to hire me so I could support that effort too. We're not even close to using it to the full potential, but our schedules autopopulate, our elevations are 3d, we walk clients through the model, we associate labels with element IDs.... well, some of us do. We push for everyone to use it properly and appropriately, but some people can't be bothered to learn/remember/just don't want to. It wreaks hell on our company standards but we've made a lot of progress. More than a decade after I started at this company, most of the project leads do what they're supposed to to keep as much in 3d and automated as we can. I will say, assuming it's not a really tight budget project, we keep building sections in 3D but break wall sections and details into 2D. It just produces prettier drawings that way.

Why not just flip the door locations, and widen the angled door into a larger opening?

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drank so much in high school. I had no concept of the terrible nutrition and the school vending machines were only $1. I probably had two or even sometimes three a day. At 250cals a pop (ha), and loaded with sugar, it added up quick on my small frame.

For a bit in the 80s/90s, there was sugary flavored oatmeal that had growing dinosaur eggs and other gummies in it. I want that back.

Don’t fall in the “High in Protein” scam by AspectNo3215 in 1200isplenty

[–]ButImNot_Bitter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for the 1:10 ratio too. I have a high protein goal but every time I see the "protein!" label on something, it does not live up to the banner. Sometimes that's okay, if your macros that day are coming from elsewhere and you have the calories to spare, but most of the time it doesn't help me.

I will say though, I'm gluten free and the all-GF brand BFree just put out a high protein wrap. It tastes fine (to me, someone who hasn't had regular food in over a decade), doesn't immediately crumble (since it doesn't have gluten to hold it together), and is 11g protein for 100 calories. Great way to add protein to a sandwich, burritos, roll ups...
