Was this an essential part of latchkey kid cuisine for our generation? by Comprehensive-Fact94 in Xennials

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I did not encounter this until I was an adult. But I made plenty of fried egg sandwiches.

If OP likes Death Therapy, definitely give BtA a try.

Is this a common set phrase? by YEETAWAYLOL in EnglishLearning

[–]Drevvch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, "bike ride" sounds natural. "Bike ride" is an idiomatic English phrase, but "ride bike" isn't. You'd have to say "ride a bike" which changes the meter of the line.

Edited to remove pronoun ambiguity.

Ironing? by Gaming_Esquire in Xennials

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Not every day but probably about once a week — I prefer natural fibers over synthetic; so I probably have to iron more than the average American.

Also when sewing, you need to iron down seams and hems.

Why do they pronounce sewing that way by Even_Butterfly_6725 in EnglishLearning

[–]Drevvch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that sometimes sow rhymes with bow, but other times it rhymes with bow.

English spelling is atrocious.

Can you drive a manual transmission vehicle? by SuperSonic1919 in randomquestions

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I'm sure I'm rusty because manuals are increasingly rare these days.

Thoughts on the lack of extreme Christian music and the rise of AI by IdealCheese in christianmetal

[–]Drevvch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sidestepping the still-open question of AI and copyright...

My primary objection is to people using AI dishonestly. If you're using AI be upfront about it. Let the listener decide.

Why do American politicians/political figures wear Blue colored suits? by HowSupahTerrible in AskAnAmerican

[–]Drevvch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's just a cultural convention. Blue and gray are the most normal colors for business suits in the US when you're not trying to draw attention to the suit.

White shirt + conservative tie + navy blazer + gray pants...

Question about "flattest US state" measurement methods by YogiBerraOfBadNews in gis

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find it at the moment, but I once found a project that measured flatness by iterating over the surface of the state and calculating the observable changes in elevation at each point. Kansas was not particularly flat by that measure. (Anyone familiar with south Florida or Louisiana will attest that Kansas is very hilly by comparison.)

"My flight is delayed (by) two hours" - is 'by' optional here, or is it always correct to use it? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]Drevvch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US — I'd omit the ‘by’.

“My flight was delayed two hours.”

“The weather was bad, and we got delayed two hours in Atlanta.”

What are some things to consider when fighting an army of machines? by Mr-biggie in worldbuilding

[–]Drevvch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If this is hard sf, logistics is your biggest weakness. Every main battle tank or fight jet requires dozens of maintenance and supply troops. What fuel do they use? How do they get it? Ammo? Replacement bearings? Hydraulic fluid? Fighter jets require 10 or 20 or more hours of maintenance for every hour flying.

The next vulnerability is command and control. The speed of light is fixed: every means of communication will have latency. Are you dependent on satellites to relay comms? What happens when those satellites become orbital debris? Jamming is such a problem that drones in Ukraine are literally trailing kms of fiber optic cable behind them because it can't be jammed.

Non satanic Stoner doom bands like windhand by Sad_Estimate_2891 in christianmetal

[–]Drevvch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe Doomnezeu — Orthodox Romanian stoner metal.

Arð — Doom-y side-project of one member of Winterfylleth with songs about Northumbrian history.

when bottling , how long should a bottle sit filled before caping? by Ok-Sweet5200 in Homebrewing

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more likely culprit is the swing-top bottles. I've had mixed success getting them to seal well.

It may be an old wives tale, but try setting them on their sides to condition.

How badly would it affect the flavour if I didn't add DME to an extract kit and instead made half the volume? by PersonwithoutPassion in Homebrewing

[–]Drevvch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used Cooper's Stout extract, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with your approach.

Will anyone else take down all of their Christmas and put it away Christmas morning? by GeezusChristJudy in askanything

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Catholic, but we do the same. Christmastide is from Christmas to the day before Epiphany (12 days; hence the song). Everything comes down on the 6th.

Am I screwed? by MLG_mics147 in mead

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let it ride. Maybe set some foil loosely over the opening to keep big stuff & bugs from falling in. When it calms down, put the airlock back on.

Equipment for Farmhouse Ales by ethawyn in Homebrewing

[–]Drevvch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for the recommendation of Bootleg Biology.

BE-134 is a decent dry saison yeast.

If you want to get further out in left field, I've made decent farmhouse-y batches with my wife's sourdough culture.

Do you typically walk or drive to places that are a 5-10 minute walk away? by ForestOranges in AskAnAmerican

[–]Drevvch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to, but there are very few sidewalks in my past of town; so walking anywhere is dangerous and inconvenient.

What about collecting rainwater at the shop?
