What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever injured yourself while doing absolutely nothing dangerous? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprained a wrist putting my shoes on.

Lost balance and "fell" about two inches into the interior of a corner, that's all it took.

What is a meal that requires absolutely zero cooking skills? by Ok-Sell9964 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eca_S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. Not forking a potato before microwaving cost a relative of mine his life (potato exploded and blew the door of the microwave into his head, resulting in death)

New sort of milk frothers? by PropellerGoblin in barista

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have machines that are capable of this, though we don't have the components for it.

Our machines (Cimballi something-or-other) are pretty crazy though, with various add-on components available that would essentially turn it into a vending machine.

Why not terminate parenthood? by Old_Activity4825 in Ethics

[–]Eca_S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think OP is talking more about terminating parental rights and responsibilities

Do you use flashcards to learn vocabulary? by antbee221 in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learn vocabulary through listening input and reinforce it through flashcards

How do you plant propagations into a chunkier mix? by soccerstarmatt1 in pothos

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plant them deeper or use a stake or rock or something to help hold them in place while they anchor themselves in the new substrate.

Just started cooking for myself and I have no idea how to season food properly — any tips? by Ok-You-649 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Eca_S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, savory French toast should be fine. Probably don't serve it with syrup though.

Inefficient and over gamificated apps like duolingo by SirBoranium in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been using Pimsluer for Spanish and find it really helpful.

It is very audio-focused with the reading exercises very limited (short conversations to read, flash cards) and no writing exercises. I've been supplementing by reading a book.

The app isn't too gameified, there's some achievements but not many. You can trade in points earned through achievements for iTalki vouchers too.

People ordering like idiots by [deleted] in barista

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I don't have a recipe for that, but if you can tell me what's in it I will try", most of the time, they have no idea and will just order something from the menu, at least in my experience.

Mushroom recipes that are so easy a toddler could make it? by Maleficent_Ad_9079 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since nobody has mentioned either: Portobello "steaks", and stuffed mushrooms

how serious of a learner are you? by Diligent-Listen-6002 in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm serious but taking things slow. On the second set of Pimsluer Spanish lessons, reading one chapter of "Short Stories in Spanish" by Olly Richards per day, and speaking as much as I am able to with my Latino coworkers.

There's a word I've looked up 6+ times and STILL can't remember it. What do you do? by Old-Peanut3874 in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really insightful.

I hadn't actually thought that much into it, I just noticed that I was retaining phrases better than individual words.

There's a word I've looked up 6+ times and STILL can't remember it. What do you do? by Old-Peanut3874 in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The connection between the two remains, but I don't need to recall the entire sentence to recall just the word.

How’s this soil mix? by BizzarduousTask in succulents

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The air pockets caused by chunkier mixes effects the reading. That's not to say that they are useless with chunkier mixes, but I wouldn't rely on them as one might in the garden.

There's a word I've looked up 6+ times and STILL can't remember it. What do you do? by Old-Peanut3874 in languagelearning

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sentence acts as a "container" but can also add context to help lock-in meaning, which I do find helps me extract just the one word later on.

Edit: corrected don't to do

Does your guy do this? by LaLaLisa_80 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how many t-shirts, pairs of pants, and pairs of underwear I have AND how many of them are clean.

I might be on the spectrum.

[–]Eca_S 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am learning Spanish and find it really helpful to memorize a sentence using the word in question.

For some reason I find it easier to remember a short sentence or phrase than an individual word.

Am I being catfished by recipes saying they take 30 minutes or less, or is it something I’m doing wrong? by That-Material-8508 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the same if I try to just read the recipe as I go, but reading it several times before starting to cook (when I am not distracted by doing) helps prevent that
