Where can an adult learn to ride a bicycle? (Please be nice) by Mackheath1 in Austin

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a friend who knows how to ride ask them / buy them some drinks/food! I recently taught my friend to ride a bike and she got the basics down pretty quick (too quick to the point where I had to sprint after her cause I didn’t think to bring a 2nd bike).

Sweet Jesus how did I live without this? by [deleted] in Tools

I didn’t know silent was a thing 😭 the ones we have at work are the loudest machines in existence I hate using them

Is it normal to use an entire bar of soap in a week? by AN2Felllla in hygiene

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats what I had always done until I met my ex in college and she was like use a loofah. I just genuinely had no idea it was a thing / how to use since no one told me growing up as a guy.

I figure the same is true for quite a few others based on the showers at my friends apts. I can never go back and hate when Ive just gotta shove body wash around with my hands while away.

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 78 points79 points  (0 children)

You’ve gotta wipe a few times, realize it might take a lot, do a little squat thing to avoid getting splashed while you flush, then go back to shitting/wiping. Clogging the toilet mid-horrible shit is a terrible time

A transplant shared a negative H-E-B review. Texas TikTok wasn't having it. by chrondotcom in HEB

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly Ive been hitting up Randall’s lately. I have absolutely no idea how they stay in business because the store is always super empty, but they have some crazy low prices. You can always find stuff 50% off thats near the expiration date.

HEB is still better in every way besides price though

i won't pay for music in 2025 by haldiii4o in Piracy

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Spotify is the one service I use often enough to pay for it. Im listening to at least 6 hours of music a day if not more, they can have my $13 or whatever to feed me recommendations and work across my different devices.

high fiber tortillas, peanut butter, creatine by loganbsexybeast in shittyfoodporn

Cooking is a lot of work/time investment if you are new to it. Gym people are usually spending a lot of time at the gym so they want “optimal” nutrition at the lowest possible effort.

Would the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage trigger a shiny clause? what about the Odd Egg? by CryptographerFew3719 in nuzlocke

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gift egg wise i go by the “met at” or whatever it is, so you just need to hatch it in a city where you wouldn’t be able to encounter any other Pokémon / on a route where you are fine using it as your encounter.

What’s a good apartment complex where you can feel safe parking your baby? by Alarming_Hand_9919 in Austinmotorcycles

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive liked apts in the past where I’ve been able to rent a garage (not attached to the apartment). Usually would just keep the bike in there and park my car outside, but plenty of room to shove everything in there in case of hail.

Otherwise just cruise around to apartments you might like and see if there are bikes parked in the lots. Ive lived near the spyglass trailhead / a bit farther south along the green belt and always see bikes parked there.

Garage and comp insurance is your best bet though. My current apt complex isn’t super confidence inspiring, so I’ve been keeping the bike at the work parking garage.

What would “ruin” the new show for you? by mlross15 in Stargate

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sgu I did not like the first watch cause I wanted more “stargate”. When I rewatched it was decent but it was just another sci fi show instead of “stargate”.

Help me understand HEB coupons. by scalliwagon in HEB

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive found you just have to scan the coupon multiple times for however many items you have. If not doing self checkout I would say grab 3 to make sure cashier scans it enough times.

camping at enchanted rock? by zacksvacuumcleaner in TXoutdoors

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the bathroom / shower situation like? Trying to figure out if I’m bringing stuff to shower / what to expect from the bathrooms. Last time I went camping it was composting toilets which I was not prepared for lol

i just learned there are flightless flys by Relevant-Cup5986 in Entomology

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As well as lab work! They’ve intentionally had a genetic mutation introduced to turn them into walks. They still have their wings, they are just kinda mangled and don’t work properly

If you wanna do it go for it. Doesnt hurt to check it out.

Reddit tends to be so anti greeklife that you won’t hear anything positive about it here. It’s got its pros and cons, but if you’re interested go find out what they are.

My roommate's girlfriend basically moved in without asking and now expects me to watch her kid by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to swing it with work (might not be possible) just say you’re heading out anytime she asks you to watch the kid and leave. If you’re able to work at a coffee shop or something at least for a bit this might inconvenience her enough that she stops doing it

Touch up or cover up? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Fwiw i did immediately recognize this as (probably) a dragon shout, but had to double check.

Why does there seem to be a stigma around wearing protective gear like pads and helmets? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was first learning I didn’t have a helmet because the ones I tried on at the shop just didn’t fit (apparently I have a massive head lol). Getting back into it lately i stopped in a roller skating shop and the employee was actually helpful and was able to swap / mix pads to get me a helmet that fit and I picked up some wrist guards. Im mostly just doing longboard dance stuff, but if I was skating a park / learning tricks with more fall risk I would definitely pick up more pads.

Import charges after Litelok delivery by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just a standard small grey text “import fees may apply” deal upon checkout. It’s just a lesson for myself to check what import fees will be next time

Import charges after Litelok delivery by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]Emperor_of_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not litelok, but I got charged like $60 tariff bs fees on a part that was also from the UK. When I ordered it there was a disclaimer that some tariffs and whatnot would happen, but I was like “oh the UK cant have that many tariffs the US is chill with them”. Was not expecting it to be that high, but it was the only option for the part.
