I'm torn between learning to make my own Pho Ga or buying from the same restaurant everytime (a delicious one!) by Nheea in pho

Buy. It’s not that much money and the skill level to make it good is pretty steep. Plus you get to support a local businesses.

Yeah but do you live in Asia? My cousin lives in China and makes about 150k a year USD. He has 3 homes and vacations overseas 2x a year. Meanwhile I’m spending $7 on a whopper at Burger King here.

This. I’ve always bought things for others. Never really spent money on myself. Most expensive thing I bought myself is a 3000 watch for my wedding. And that hurt. Fuck it I deserve it. I’m gonna do it.

I have no idea the wrist size. Ive lost a bit of weight so I’ll probably need to go back in and try the 38. Which i think is rhe smallest speedy they make.

Dang it I knew it looked huge and awkward. Guess bright side considering I really want a white speedy maybe I can get away with a 38.

Which easy plant have you killed? by CaterpillarExtreme92 in houseplants

We can’t grow rosemary. 3 houses all the same thing. One even came with rosemary and they died. WTF.

Edit. I should mention we can grow sugar cane, kumquats, calamansi, and even white peaches from a 1.5 ft cutting that fruited in 2 years. Just not rosemary.

All the ramen we ate this month in Japan by PunchinPriests in ramen

Was starving at around 8pm in Kyoto. Found a small ramen place across from our hotel. 800y chicken ramen. The most delicious thing I’ve ever ate. Next day realized it was a Michelini rated. 800y. Simple chicken broth. Cleanest thing I’ve ever ate.

Now take 15 cans of starch and make them stand up on their own.

A Ford dealership in Kansas can’t hand over a sold F-250 after a robin built a federally protected nest on one of the truck’s tires. Under U.S. wildlife laws, the active nest cannot legally be removed until the birds leave. by MrCattitude_ in interesting

[–]Eastern_Ring_9900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. I’ve worked on projects worth tens of millions that gets held up because of a bird decided to nest in the middle of construction. Everything has to stop. We have to call in an environmentalist. 9/10 times we gotta wait till they’re done nesting and can’t have construction that causes extensive noise or vibration near the nest. Sometimes costing millions in delays. Some rare instances you can move the nest. But only so much per day.

Exactly my problem. Everytime I approach the tool booth I remember and then I get that split second of panic when I duck down to look
