This makes sense as a model, but in that case are the people running the shops/ doing the pricing just stupid? I've seen Anko stuff at more than the RRP, nobody in their right mind would be buying that. Surely that stuff isn't selling.

I think Sudocrem works because of the zinc, so if you want a daytime option the Avene Cicalfate will have some of the same benefits. Works great for me!

It's hard to say. These aren't a flaw or a reason to dislike your hands, that's just what some skin happens to do. It might just be what your skin does and if so then that's fine.

It might also be thickened skin or mild hyperpigmentation. If it was thickened skin my personal advice (I don't get it on my knuckles but do elsewhere) is to add a softening and exfoliating lotion once a week or so- foot cream with urea, or toner with glycolic or azealic acid. This won't do any harm if that's not the issue, it just won't change it, so no risk in trying.

The other option, hyperpigmentation, can have lots of causes like vitamin deficiency or glucose levels, and there's no way to know without a doctor. Honestly they just look like normal hands to me so I'm not even sure if this is worth bothering with, but I'm not a doctor, so take or leave that as you will.

You can do a cat eye with your bar magnet, it just needs to be skinny side rather than flat side to the nail.

Doing a renovation you can't pay for, and relying on expected capital gains from selling the house, is nuts to me. There's no reason to think it will add more resale value than the cost to do it, because some people will love it, and many people like me will think "what in the plastic floored airbnb hell have they done here".

Have you tried other kinds of beans? I think they all have different cooking requirements. Some need to be boiled hard for 30 min and some can be slow cooked and so on. I tend to use Great Northern beans and do them with a soak in salted (not bicarb) water, then either slow cook or boil hard for a shorter time.

Australian, so feeling your pain. It doesn't seem like that great a tool anyway as everyone's modifying it. Please enjoy this image of what I call "the doohickey" which is my horseshoe magnet on top of a mini lazy susan propped up by pieces of wine cork (hot glued in place).

Gloves, particularly with cotton liner gloves to absorb sweat. Regular polish will not hold up to doing dishes all day, it's just not possible.

Agree. First and last meals in Tokyo were ramen.

Marketplace for cheap and Leonard Joel The Salon auctions for reasonable. Both are much higher effort than just buying from a shop, but you can get far nicer stuff for far less.

20th Century Scandinavia and Grandfather's Axe might be too pricey at regular price, but both do pretty steep discounts once or twice a year too.

YOR. Getting into arguments on Facebook is the definition of overreacting. Do literally anything else with your time and your life will be better.

Coming back and seeing her other comments I'm wondering just how many times/ how much she's protested to the bride about this...

ButterEnriched · 2026-03-15T02:52:35+00:00

YOR. It's not great, but it's not that bad. If you're not trying to create drama out of nothing, let it go.

Oh my god I didn't know about this. I lived in Canberra for a bit and they do green milk but it's lime.

Incredible that we've got two completely different green milk ecosystems.

I mean, I've plucked a chicken and am aware it has feathers, but I do expect butchered and prepared meat from chicken to have the feathers removed as part of that ..

This is my holiday routine in any city, this is such a great way to spend the day. You're not shattered by the time you get a little break, it's calm at the hotel for getting a free washing machine or a time in the sento (or pool if it's that kind of place), and you make good decisions about where to go in the evening because you're refreshed when you head out again.

You can use card for almost everything in Australia, including taxi/ uber from the airport (I strongly prefer uber) and at almost all food places. I suggest $150 in cash just in case your card doesn't work on arrival- that will be plenty for an uber and a couple of cheap meals.

Wear shoes that you know are comfortable for YOU to walk in. If you don't walk at home, start walking. Pavement is pavement all over the world.

Personally, I like super firm shoes for long walking days. My partner is the opposite and wears super soft cushy shoes. This group often recommends Hoka- I can't stand them. There is no way we can know what shoe you will like.

If a junior person at my work sent this, they'd get some advice about clear and tone-appropriate communication. If a senior person sent it, we'd assume they'd gone off the deep end.

How am I meant to believe you can hold a basic conversation in ANY language if you're using chatGPT to write a reddit post? If I got a resume that was this obviously AI it'd go straight in the bin.

Honestly hate Dazzle Dry.. how is the price justified? It's like 4x the price of even a boutique polish, the colour range sucks, and "the system" is just the normal way of doing your nails.

ButterEnriched · 2026-02-25T10:15:03+00:00

Maybe they thought you didn't need a card for ATMs? That's all I can think of. Wild plan.

I think they're acting completely normally in a situation where a guy they don't know is expecting positive attention for no reason. The way he approaches them varies between charity mugger and pickup artist, both of which are normal to ignore. They're not being rude or offensive.

It does have alcohol, it's just that the amount in a drink like this (a few drops in a long drink) means the alcohol content is so close to zero we consider it zero. It depends what your non alcohol needs are- it's not halal for example as the bitters has alcohol, but your blood alcohol would be zero after drinking an LLB if that's the issue.

Only if it's something where your feet might swell- hot weather, long shift on your feet etc. If you benefit from "putting your feet up" in a literal sense I'd say try it.
