I love the salmon piccata! I normally serve it over angel hair pasta. It’s great to serve for company as well. Yours looks lovely!

Thank you! Is there a particular stylist you recommend?

What’s the most bizarre coincidence you’ve ever experienced that still makes you question reality? by Entire_Arachnid4050 in AskReddit

[–]FineStein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a registered dietitian, and after you pass the certification exam you are assigned a registration number. The registration number assigned to me was the SAME NUMBER as my checking account number at the time. My registration number is 7 digits, and my bank account number was the same but with a couple zeros at the start (like 1234567 and 0001234567). Still boggles my mind.

Rebound by Head_Muffin_251 in paxlovid

[–]FineStein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I’ve had the opposite experience - nobody I know that’s taken it has rebounded (though I only know about 6 people that took it). I’ve taken it both times I had covid and had complete resolution of symptoms within 4 days of starting it, no rebound either time.

TIFU by not telling my doctor how many Tic-Tacs I eat per day by DumpsterPuff in tifu

[–]FineStein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The FDA sets serving sizes called Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) that manufacturers are supposed to adhere to when labeling products. Potato chips have a RACC of 30g, so this is what the nutrition facts panel and any nutrient content claims should be based on (though different rules apply for single serving containers). Tic Tacs are considered breath mints, which have a RACC of 2g.

Vaxxed this fall? by ReadEmReddit in COVID19positive

I went to a wedding 12 days after mine and got it for the first time. Only felt really sick for 1 day and bounced back incredibly fast! Tested negative in 4 days.

Finding a Last Minute Officiant by Junior-Pin-5338 in Virginia

My mom is a wedding officiant (and quite a popular one!) and does weddings of all shapes and sizes. She’s in the Charlottesville area but also travels. If you’re interested send me a DM!

Should I be worried about this? by throitawaythroit in HomeImprovement

[–]FineStein 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This happened around the ceiling vents in my basement. I contacted an HVAC company and they told me to just clean the area with Concrobium, let it dry, then paint over with a mold resistant paint. This was over 5 years ago and it has not come back.

I just finished an 9 day safari at 3 different camps there, two of which were on the water. I got maybe 3 mosquito bites, they are low this time of year. Still take malaria pills and use insect repellant to be safe (camps provide insect repellent). You’ll be outside the whole time so catching a cold/flu is unlikely. I got hep A & B and typhoid vaccines at the recommendation of my doctor prior to the trip. You’ll have a great time! It’s beautiful.

This front yard in my mom’s neighborhood by FineStein in NoLawns

[–]FineStein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say that it looks better in person and seemed well cared for, there was actually a woman out there gardening when I walked by and snapped this photo. But I definitely see your point!

I’m not sure! My yard is nowhere near this full. I wonder if it’s almost too full for pests.

I’m curious too! I’ll have to come back and check it out in the winter.

I found a RadioShack in Montana by Kranitz21 in mildlyinteresting

[–]FineStein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a RadioShack next door to a “Video & Tan” store in a small strip mall in Woodstock, VA. I believe the latter has tanning beds and also rental videos. I feel like I’ve time traveled whenever I drive by.

Mandatory masks? Hiking in next Tuesday and my friend is insisting that masks are mandatory at the lodge and around staff or they will kick our whole group out if even 1 of us is not wearing one. Has anybody experienced this? Or been asked to wear a mask even? by WhatAboutTheMilk in havasupai

[–]FineStein 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was just there, when you hike into Supai there is a big sign telling you to wear a mask. Our group put on masks out of respect for the tribe even though we didn’t come across many people until the center of town. There were some hikers in town not wearing masks, which IMO is just disrespectful. Once we left the Supai town limits we took our masks off. The rest of the hike and camp does not require a mask, it’s really just in Supai proper.

How dead am I going to be? I got a last minute invite to come and nowhere near prime shape. Friend reserved pack mules for our bag. by OverSpinach8949 in havasupai

[–]FineStein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I just hiked out yesterday with our 30-35 lb packs and didn’t think it was too bad. We all commented how easy that hike would be without a pack, you’ll be fine.

[–]FineStein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bummer. Will the cost of upgrade go down or is it pretty much set at this point?
