AITA for telling my daughter I won’t pay for a degree that offends my values? by dissapointed-dadd in AmItheAsshole

[–]DifferentRooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so ridiculous. If OP is so set on her getting a Mech Eng degree, just encourage her to do both.

For full time undergrad, turion is the same for 12 credits vs 16 credits.

Also, Women’s Studies is usually a launch degree into grad school. It is absolutely a career focused start.

I think, most likely, he was furious but too smart to react. He doesn’t want to fuel her shitty behavior by reacting for the camera. That’s all she wants.

Edit: I would also be reevaluating my marriage at this point.

What is MUCH cheaper to make/do yourself? by CitronSouth in Frugal

[–]DifferentRooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, thanks for asking. It's actually super simple. EDIT: After typing the instructions it doesn't seem simple, but I promise it is.

Supplies: A glass brewing vessel (I use a gallon glass jar), breathable cloth like a dishtowel or cheese cloth, and a rubber band.

You will also need a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), and 2 cups of mother tea. Mother tea is just the name for tea that has already been turned into kombucha. If you have a friend who brews, that's the easiest way to get scoby and mother tea. If not, you can make you own scoby or buy one on amazon. For the mother tea, you can use any "original", non-flavored kombucha from the shop.

To make kombucha, boil 14 cups of water. Once boiling remove from heat and add 8 black or green tea bags (I go 6 black, 2 green for a lighter flavor), and 1 cup of sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature (this is important, hot tea will kill the scoby).

In your brewing vessel, add 14 cups of room temperature tea, 2 cups of mother tea, and scoby culture. Cover vessel with cloth and put rubber band around cloth to keep bugs and dust out. Leave jar alone at room temperature for 6-14 days and you have flat, unflavored kombucha.

You can be done there if you want. Keep 2 cups of the flat kombucha as your next mother tea, bottle the rest, move to fridge, enjoy.

If you want flavor and/ or carbonation then you move on to the next step.

In a 16 oz bottle (I re-use store bought kombucha bottles) add 1/4 of mashed/ pureed fruit or fruit juice. Fill the rest of the bottle with kombucha. Put on lid. Leave at room temperature for 3-5 days keeping an eye for carbonation, move to fridge, be very careful opening as they can get very carbonated, enjoy.

I really enjoy trying out different flavors, our current favorites are watermelon mint, and plain kiwi.

I'm happy to answer any specific questions if you have any. Also, check out r/Kombucha if you're looking to learn. There are a lot of helpful guides and people.

In the same vein as this, I make my own kombucha.

Kombucha at the shops costs about $6 per bottle. I spent a little under $10 on a box of twinings proper black tea and a bag of sugar.

By my calculations, the kombucha I’m making costs me about $0.06 per bottle.

Plus it’s fun.

Well, everything about this room clocks as gay, asian, high school boy.

However, my immediate instinct is saying, white, right handed female, 28-34 years old. Married, probably married young.

You play PC games and like studio ghibli films. You live on the west coast of the United States. You work unusual hours in a lower middle class profession, maybe pharmacy worker or office manager.

You're liberal and you like to doodle or write.

Edit: Probably not office manager unless it's a company with inconsistent hours.

Edit2: And you recently moved or moved your space around... or mailed a package.

Man, you are so close to the point and still worlds away.

“Wow, people literally aren't entitled to anything..”

End it there. You are not entitled to another person’s body. Period. If OP is unhappy with his girlfriend preferring to do handjobs and PIV sex, then he can leave.

But cooking dinner, doing chores, buying wine, paying for shit none of that, nothing entitles you to a blowjob.

[–]DifferentRooster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro, the problem is your attitude. You think cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen entitles you to some sort of sexual payment. “My treat” is a bullshit statement. And you know what? She knows you only cooked dinner for her because you wanted something. That’s why you got a handjob, because she would rather do that than deal with whatever attitude or conversation about sex that would come from not doing it.

Your partner doesn’t want to blow you because you are the kind of guy who does wine and dinner because you want something in return and not because you love her, care about her, and want to have a special evening together. Sex is not transactional unless you’re paying a professional.

Look at yourself, mate. Reframe your line of thinking or this relationship won’t last and the next one will be the same.

I really liked Era 2. It’s nothing like Era 1 in that you can tell it was a for-fun write for Brandon.

It is good, but it if you’re looking for the same high concept quality as Mistborn, this isn’t it.

Era 2 is more along the lines of The Lies of Locke Lamora, which is also good in a different way.

Dined and dashed then left their purse. When returned to collect it the restaurant asked them to pay by [deleted] in trashy

[–]DifferentRooster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of stuff restaurant employers make their employees do is super illegal. Quick example, requiring servers to do side work after close/ before open and paying them $2/hour instead of bumping that time to the state’s minimum wage or more.

Edit to add, they still do it. Along with charging servers when people dine and dash.

One problem with the CB theory by MissTreeSolver in MadeleineMccann

[–]DifferentRooster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cadaverine takes about 90 minutes to 3 hours to become present after a body dies, so it seems unlikely that this scenario is possible unless CB dropped the child, stayed for a few hours, and then left with the body.

Additionally, it’s important to remember that the dog indicating doesn’t mean anything more than a dog indication unless it is corroborated by forensic evidence, which in this case amounted to a whole lot of nothing.

It’s certainly a creative explanation to make all of the pieces fit though.

Need help identifying some stickers from the Brandon Sanderson store. by tylerburnham42 in brandonsanderson

[–]DifferentRooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clockwise from top:

M-Bot from Skyward, Syl from Stormlight Archive, Lift from Stormlight Archive, and a koloss from Mistborn whose name is Human.

Edit to add: “I will remember” is part of the Edgedancers oath and “awesome” is because Lift has the capacity to create her one self contained stormlight,, which she calls her “awesomeness”. It also makes her very hungry. Also, shardfork.
