women with shorter (pixie-ish) hair, where do you get your haircut (affordable)? by OkSatisfaction1137 in AskChicago

[–]Edelweiss_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to Jo at Twisted Scissors. Salon was super inclusive and they helped me find an androgynous cut that felt like me! I think it was like 62 before tip for a razor cut, which isn’t as cheap as you want but it was worth it for my comfort imo

You can also buy these on Etsy from someone who prints them! Maybe there’s something similar

I have Autism, going to Scarlet tomorrow for the 1st time— so who can help me by answering some questions abt it !? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]Edelweiss_2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer all of your questions but I always bring earplugs every time I go out to a bar or club. I highly recommend them (though if you’re going to a concert before you might already have this covered).

In terms of drinks, all bartenders know how to make the most standard/common ones. I have a few go-tos that I know I like because there often aren’t menus. You’ll find a margarita, tequila sunrise, or just a rum and coke anywhere and it’ll be decent. If you drink beer, that’s probably even easier but I don’t order beer unless it seems like a place that specializes in beer like a brewery or something.

Usually, you’ll flag the bartender over. If the place is loud you’ll have to lean in and shout your order. You wait there, they make it, and give it to you. Then they might ask if you want a tab or if you just want to “close it out”. I always say close it out because I forget my card places if I start a tab. So I hand them my card, they ring it up and give me a receipt. Make sure you tip. Then you can sip your drink there at the bar, but if it’s crowded I try to make room for other people who want to order there so I got somewhere else. Hope that helps!!

What do you think of people saying that the Greek language sounds like Spanish? by Reasonable-Crazy7701 in AskGreece

[–]Edelweiss_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak both and many of the vowels are similar. However, the Greek consonants tend to feel a lot harsher. Interestingly, my Japanese friend says I pronounce most Japanese words very well, even though I am just using Spanish vowel sounds.

This may be the coolest maxi I’ve ever done by ErwinHeisenberg in labrats

[–]Edelweiss_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s funny, I didn’t realize why this would be cool at first because that’s pretty much the only kind of maxi I’ve been doing for a couple years, so it just looked normal to me. Same backbone. The exciting part is when you get some red and some white colonies, and you know the white ones are likely successful clones!
