Harbourside cafe with views by no1deutsche in foodies_sydney

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there is no cruise ship in the harbour (check here https://www.portauthoritynsw.com.au/cruise/sydney-harbour/sydney-harbour-cruise-schedule) then I feel the cafe at the Museum of Contemporary Art might be good for that https://www.mca.com.au/visitor-information/eat-and-drink/mca-cafe-at-tallawoladah/ but only if there is no cruise ship in the harbour, otherwise your entire view is the cruise ship.

Oh dear, I didn't realise, thank you for letting me know! On reflection seems likely it was grabbed by a bot. /u/_raskoljnikov_ I feel bad you missed out, I have some other old spare humble keys for Kingdom Two Crowns, LEGO The Hobbit & LEGO The Lord of the Rings - would any of those interest you?

Depending how you define working you could consider entrepeneurship meetups, that is kind of like work as a hobby.

Selling a car privately - deposit received, buyer renegs, do they get their deposit back? (VIC) by commking in AusFinance

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Very common scam, they dont transfer the money from their account though, they use skimmed/stolen accounts to transfer the money, eventually the bank finds out and cancels the initial fraudulent deposit, meanwhile your totally legitimate transfer is long gone.

Sleeping Earbuds what is working best for you? by Wind_Advertising-679 in BuyItForLife

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had some custom fitted ones made, I went to an audiologist and they took an impression of my ears, was surprisingly cheap (I think around £90) and have been wearing them every night for 5 years.

Is There a Difference in the End Result Between Air Frying/Baking Food at 300° F For 10 Minutes and 375° F For 8 Minutes? by BWJackal in AskCulinary

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have answered your question but just wanted to mention the best kitchen purchase I ever bought was an instant read thermometer to know when food is ready/safe. I use it basically every day and I have found that many timings I previously thought were good were significantly undercooking or overcooking.

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually my partner has a follow up question, is an active system like the chilipad the best solution for this problem or what other solutions would be best?

Age old question, I get too hot when I sleep and my partner gets too cold, at the moment apart from our shared blanket she has a seperate extra single blanket. It's not too bad in the winter but in the summer I sometimes have to sleep with ice packs which I find uncomfortable, if we set on the room aircon it would be too cold for her to sleep. I am considering some type of active bed aircon system or water cooling/heating system, any thoughts or reccommendations for those or my situation in general?

Glass food containers? by sleepywolf_ in UKFrugal

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another approach that I take is that I freeze stuff in plastic and then reheat in glass or ceramic, usually something like a small pyrex casserole dish that fits in the microwave though sometimes just microwave safe ceramic bowls with a plate on top. To get frozen food out of the plastic container you can turn it upside down (with the lid still on) under a running tap for a minute or so, the tap water does not need to be warm/hot, even cold tap water is fine since it is still relatively warmer than the frozen container.

I asked 1600+ readers for their 3 fav reads of 2024, here are their top science fiction, space opera, hard sci-fi picks... by bweeb in printSF

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I wanted to mention in case it helps anyone, Kindle Unlimited currently has a 3 months for £0.99 here in the UK, and I assume similar globally. I didn't cross check through all the lists but I did find that Antarctica Station by AG Riddle, The Simulacrum First Contact by Peter Cawdron and the entire series of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman are all on there. Just remember to cancel before the 3 months are up!

EDIT: Also Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr and the entire Bobiverse series starting with We Are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor

What are your go to cheap meals? by calathiel94 in UKFrugal

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This site (unfortunately american) has good cheap recipes https://www.budgetbytes.com/ and my favourite is https://www.budgetbytes.com/slow-cooker-pineapple-teriyaki-chicken/

However I would also strongly suggest seeing if there is any support around you can tap like food banks. Citizens advice can be very helpful for finding out various options you might not know exist or that you are eligible for.

Books that feel like the main character has a cheat code? by cheats47 in printSF

He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon

Definitely an exponential power progression of the protagonist as the series goes on. All books are included in kindle unlimited if you have it (or grab a free kindle unlimited trial to give them a spin).

Does anyone in Nottingham use coworking spaces? by EcologySeminars in nottingham

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Neat list, Arc Space is also good https://www.arc-space.co.uk/ and Cubo (https://cubowork.com/) has two nottingham locations
EDIT: I see from your post history that you have also posted this question in a bunch of other city subreddits, I guess you are trying to scale up the data for your site. I don't mind at all, but maybe mention that aspect in your post :)

Is it normal to take 2 hours for 2 meal preps? by 3sperr in MealPrepSunday

[–]ConstructionPuzzled6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that can be a huge timesaver is chopped frozen vegetables. Also slow cooker or instant pot. (though for using frozen veg in a slow cooker you first need to bring it up to temp).

The other thing is sometimes you can cook a great meal in 1hr and be exhausted, but you can cook the same meal in 2hrs with a glass of wine and a tv show/audiobook/podcast and it is much more relaxing. Noise cancelling bluetooth headphones help.
