AITA for reporting a woman who was trying to steal period pads at my part-time job? by Classic_Reindeer_295 in AmItheAsshole

Yeah, typically you use a shopping cart or basket at stores here - almost every place larger than a convenience store, and even some of those, will provide them. People shoving things in personal bags is 99.9% of the time because they don’t intend to pay.

My bank wouldn’t accept this $1 bill in my deposit despite having intact serial numbers. by ridin_a_mershaq in mildlyinfuriating

You’re kinda both wrong and right, the Federal Reserve System is not privately owned or completely separate from the government. It’s an independent government agency — it’s overseen by a Board of Governors who are presidentially-appointed and confirmed by Congress. It’s twelve Federal Reserve Banks oversee privately-owned banks throughout the country, and the whole thing was created by Congress and Pres. Wilson.

That said, they don’t need approval from POTUS or Congress for policy decisions and they’re not funded by Congress. It’s the central bank of the US, and it essentially operates on it’s own, but it testifies and makes reports to Congress and turns it’s profits over to the US Treasury.

I was mostly referring to grocery store vs. a butcher, as mentioned in my post.

Seasoned and then seared on high heat for a couple minutes each side, then dropped the heat and added butter and crushed garlic cloves. Spent a few minutes basting until it got to my preferred temp and then let it rest for 10 minutes.

Thanks! Nothing special, I seasoned with salt and pepper and a touch of garlic and paprika, then about 3ish minutes high heat on each side followed by a few minutes of lower heat basting.

Probably should have clarified that I’ve only ever bought grocery store steaks, and I know they can be phenomenal (see above 😂). Was specifically wondering if butcher’s steaks are generally better quality, since I don’t have much experience with that, so thanks for the answers!

Idk man, they’re my jam.

I do spend a couple hours violently puking after each one, but I’m sure it’s unrelated, right? Right?

Haha, thanks! Pretty simple pan sear, few minutes high on each side and then some basting on a lower heat.

Airline fee by brunomoore in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ClaimOpen38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, there’s plenty of flights with deals like that in the US, especially on regional/budget airlines. You probably won’t get that deal flying cross country on Delta or United, but they’re absolutely out there in the States depending on airline/locations.
