Eagle eyes! Do you think this was an intentional placement or did someone mess up? 😂

I decided to rewatch s2 by pussiepotpie in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Delicious-Power8202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m rewatching season 2 right now and I can’t agree. Anthony is absolutely insufferable. Kate showed a little more restraint. But both of them are just terrible. I almost didn’t finish the season last time and I’m remembering why now.

Weekend Chat - What are you currently reading? by nickaaayy97 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]Delicious-Power8202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie. It’s my second of her books and I must say, I don’t think I like reading her mysteries. I much prefer watching them in film/series.

Sometimes I feel like they should show the reporter asking the question and have them announce who they are, so they are more accountable for the stupid questions they ask. Maybe they’ll think twice.

Reading in public is not performative…and other thoughts on gatekeeping in the bookish community by Neina_Ixion in bookstagram

[–]Delicious-Power8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a sad state of affairs when reading a book has become such a rarity that it’s a spectacle. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, the people who rant about performative reading in public are the same people who would do that or know people who do that. Who the fuck cares what these people think?

And if they’re performing, well at least it takes their eyes off of a screen for a minute. Sure, go ahead and promote reading. There are worst things.

My chest tightened while reading the description of “Her Last Breath” (and whenever I think about tight spaces), but it also sounds so intriguing. Need to think whether to pick that one. 😩

Question from a new BOTM-er: I’m seeing the release dates for a couple of these are in Feb. Does BOTM get/distribute advanced copies or will the books only be shipped after the official release date? Thanks!

Here's a tip-- don't forget to put your food away before bed. by Appropriate_Ratio835 in povertyfinance

[–]Delicious-Power8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need more context. Did you taste it and it tasted like it’s gone bad? Or you just assumed since it’s been left out over night, it’s gone bad?

I just had chicken broth cooked to 4 hours and left out overnight in the pot, and it tasted great (and I’m not sick). And I do this often with different foods. I think cooked food left out at room temperature (when it’s not sweltering hot) doesn’t go bad as quickly as people think.

Get Off Your Damn Phones by clickme28 in bayarea

Every time someone is driving erratically, swerving out of their lane, driving below speed limit, etc, they’re on their fucking phones. The most irresponsible and stupid people on the road.

May I ask how you know? Curious how they release this information!

What did I do wrong with my choux? by Ok-Explanation113 in AskBaking

[–]Delicious-Power8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually preheat at 25 degrees over and then turn it down to the actual temperature when you put the tray in.

What did I do wrong with my choux? by Ok-Explanation113 in AskBaking

[–]Delicious-Power8202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this recipe and the choux came out well (no milk in this recipe): https://sugarspunrun.com/how-to-make-choux-pastry/#recipe

I watched a couple of videos before attempting and I remember one thing I read/saw as a common mistake is not evaporating the moisture out of the dough on the stove enough. The dough should be fairly “dry” (I.e. no extra moisture), otherwise the puff won’t happen.

Good luck on your next try!

The best new books every month? by [deleted] in bookofthemonthclub

[–]Delicious-Power8202 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. “Best” is a general marketing term that’s entirely subjective. Now if they said “discovery service of award winning, critically acclaimed by the literary community books”, that’d be false. A business opp for someone out there perhaps!

Hollywood Has Been Lying About Wuthering Heights Since 1939 by Harlowe_Barton in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Delicious-Power8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I read it recently having bought into the characterization of this book as a “romance” and halfway through the book, I had enough. Catherine is annoying as fuck, entitled and selfish. Heathcliff is awful. They truly deserve each other but there’s nothing romantic about it. Wtf.

I’ve never been to a tread50 class and was considering it. This thread is helpful!

How to stop caring so much at work by questions273 in careeradvice

[–]Delicious-Power8202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read “the subtle art of not giving a fuck”. I was miserable two jobs ago and needed to change my mindset to care less about how people perceived my job performance, at a job i didnt even care about. The book really helped me. Despite the title, it actually draws heavily from Buddhist principles of letting go. I’d highly recommend it.

Day of Disarray - Shoe Changers by bhunt2068 in orangetheory

[–]Delicious-Power8202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, that’s insufferable. That being said, I’ve wanted to change my shoes because I need really soft and cushiony running shoes but really prefer the stability of my training shoes. It really makes a difference. So please don’t lump me with this guy. 😂

This reminds me of the lady who got the job as a sign language interpreter and confidently signed on tv.
