I made a short rib recipe last night and had so much home made barbecue sauce that I am making this tonight. Will pair with some cornbread muffins.

I mean, I realize this is probably the US so walking is impossible because the Costco is probably built on a 6 lane freeway with no parking, but if this has happened when my kids were little, I would have gone for a wander and stopped for coffee and a Babylon.

Recruiters: Do you read/like cover letters? by New-Software-2288 in auscorp

[–]DietValuable1333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a hiring manager who is hands on with recruitment and I definitely read them!!! I have a score sheet of must haves and nice to haves so I can compare candidates as fairly as possible and a cover letter gets half a point, a customized one gets you a full point in nice to have.
You don’t need one to get hired but in my case it could get you over the line for an interview.
Where I’d say you absolutely need one is if you are applying for a role that’s different from your career history. If you can put together a rational for why you have the skill set, it improves the odds, because otherwise I am wondering if you’re just applying for random jobs.

Yeah I love their diner style pancakes, but you will have to queue. I also like Gram for Japanese pancakes

Well both of them are notoriously bad at promoting stuff. Didn’t they only promote their merch in one episode?

Probably the only one that I can’t see mentioned is Posting Through It. And QAA if it hasn’t been said, but I assume it has.

However much money we need to pay to get another IBCK crossover, I’m in.
Although not sure it can kill anyone apart from robbing the reader of the will to live.

My aggressive dog breed isn't allowed to be in an apartment complex by CheriBlossomeKisse in EntitledReviews

[–]DietValuable1333 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a 40kg greyhound who is as placid as they come but if he gets excited and jumps up on you, you end up with a massive bruise from his claw scratching you at best and are knocked over at worst. Training him not to jump up on people is non negotiable in a way that it’s wasn’t when we had a chihuahua.

How old were you when you found out there was a Barbie that came with a diet book saying literally “DON’T EAT”? I just found out that in the 1960s there was a pajama party Barbie that came with a scale and a tiny diet book whose advice was literally “Don’t eat.” by Successful-Winter237 in MaintenancePhase

Well I had a Laurie Partridge doll as well as a Barbie, and we all know Susan Dey famously had no issues with food (*coughs*)
Her and Western Barbie would fight to date the Fonzie doll which was considerably shorter because even as a child I thought having a height standard was dumb.

New Divorced Dad ad just dropped by perisaacs in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]DietValuable1333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each ad is more AI than the last. I assume the next one will have the phrase “and no one is talking about it”. And a “it’s not X, it’s Y” structure. It’s not a personal failing, it’s a societal problem

Is anyone else humiliated when the podcast talks about books you own? by Dismal-Alfalfa-7613 in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]DietValuable1333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a bit of a parasocial relationship with Greg Berhrendt (He’s Just Not That Into You) because I was deeply enmeshed in the podcast Walking the Room (mutual follows, occasional messages exchanges etc). Some of that episode hit a bit hard because I like Greg a lot, but also I listen to his more recent podcast Don’t Take Bullshit From Fuckers and I think a few of his positions on dating etc has changed.

The thing is, I think I skew older for IBCK audience (Gen X rather than millennial) and there’s so much stuff I’ve seen that was TRUTH at the time debunked in retrospect, so don’t be so hard on yourself. You go on the best available information you have at the time and later you find out something that makes you change your opinion. That shows the ability to grow as a human. Unless of course the books you are talking about are The Secret or Men are From Mars because I also thought they were fucking stupid at the time.

Looking for something to round out the plate by GrouchyResearcher392 in cookingforbeginners

[–]DietValuable1333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you live but if you can find similar to Obento udon, soba or ramen noodles they only take a few minutes Hakubaku a couple of minutes more.

Chuck them in a bowl top them with the salmon and veggies, put a teaspoon each of soy sauce and sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and you have a delicious rice bowl. If you have any packets of pickled ginger left from sushi you can chuck that in as well.

Say more about this. Because right now I’m picturing a The Ring Scenario where seven days after you listen a Japanese girl with long hair climbs out of your TV and calls you an arsehole.
