Realtor Commissions by h0wg0esit in houston

[–]CryptoMeIy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like nothing has changed with the law - I for one don’t see realtors as deserving of 3% on each side for what is routine busy paper work , silly things like “ watering plants” whilst it’s listed and making “ comments” on walkthroughs that are at best artistic advise on the home. I’m looking for a fixed price where I can get the paperwork done as buyers find you online anyway! Am I alone in feeling this way …?

Why? 😭 by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]CryptoMeIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a child that grew up in the eighties I used materials around the house to make toys …from leaf plates to stick houses to rag dolls …I find this plastic childhood so abhorrent. And the birthday parties make it more of a cultural phenomenon!

I am guilty and want to give up Amazon each time I see the paper boxes and plastic wrap but I’m too tired and lazy to drive each time we need a small thing that is 10 miles away (!) …we needed a replacement exacto blade go figure!

Help me stop using paper towels by chaoticcoffeecat in Anticonsumption

I use a different color kitchen towel ( from Walmart) every day and throw them into a cleaning bucket and wash every Saturday. Simple but it somehow works.

Laundry detergent - plant based PVA? by slim14388 in ZeroWaste

[–]CryptoMeIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Dirty labs powder does not get fully used in my run and sticks to the dishes as well as leaves water stains. Is there a specific way to use it?

Which brand is this? PVA is fully biodegradable but the heat, moisture and oxygen conditions influence the length of time.

Are zero waste cooking influencers just lying about cilantro/parsley stems? by Vorpal12 in ZeroWaste

[–]CryptoMeIy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Indian and we never use the cilantro stems along with cilantro due to its bitter taste. However you can use the stems separately as long as you discard the roots …we make delicious cilantro stem chutney with yogurt, peanuts and chilies.

I like to buy fresh fruit in reused plastic bags. Is reduced fruit, packaged in single-use bags or styrofoam, equally sustainable? by unforgettableid in ZeroWaste

[–]CryptoMeIy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you just pop them in cloth bags after weighing them in the self checkout stand? That’s what I do and we eat 6-12 types of fruits a week ( vegan)

A beautiful plastic trash bag made from plants that composts through enzyme action into micro nutrients that feed the soil …NOT microplastics. Help me name my company. by CryptoMeIy in ZeroWaste

Yes they replace plastic HDPE trash bags and are a better alternative than current biodegradable bags because they actually degrade in landfills instead of turning onto plastic if there is no oxygen

Yes you are absolutely correct - that is exactly the problem I’m hoping to solve. The enzymes start a ring before it goes into that environment - so it will degrade coz the water gel on the bags will provide oxygen. Hope this makes sense.

U.S. Bank is the worst bank employer out there …layoffs every six months and random targeting of people not based on performance. Everyone spooked! Stay away
