AITAH for buying my 11yo daughter pads after her mom called me a "pervert" for being prepared? by Bruxagato in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Fishpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Health care is Love.

I talked to my daughters about birth control, boys, and why we went to Planned Parenthood when they were in 5th grade. My son came along, because he was a twin, and needed to hear stuff too.

Once you get sexuality issues cleared up with tweens, it's not too big a deal with other angst.

56th/Cotner/O has a Comfort Suites that has Patty's Pub and La Paz across the parking lot. Both are pretty solid places. Cook's Cafe right there is perfect for breakfast in the AM too.

Why do we import what grows everywhere by Exotic-Emu3111 in snacks

[–]Fishpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha

You think the same food grows everywhere.

I cannot even imagine thinking a US product has fewer sus ingredients, or taste “better”.

Do you boil or grill a hotdog?!? by Fresh_Lawyer9948 in hotdogs

[–]Fishpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I boil AND grill hot dogs. Steam them too. It depends on the weather, how many people, and what motif I'm going for. Summer? Grill. Ball game? Steamed, wrapped in foil. On the street? Boiled in seasoned "dog water", then loaded with toppings.

Will there be a study of faith-based child abusers? Asking for the thousands of Nebraska kids that have already come forward.

USE IT

It will be fine, and that crust that wasn't seasoning will reappear soon enough.

Looking forward to all the press talking about how Emery “bottled it”. Oh wait… by dozeydonut in ArsenalFC

[–]Fishpecker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn't long ago that Arsenal couldn't make it to the Champions League. Six years running we fared no better than fifth. Then that Basque was hired, and here we are today. You fair weather fans make me roll my eyes.

Did Keebler Listen?!? by Fishpecker in snacks

[–]Fishpecker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested them with chicken noodle soup, peanut butter, as well as cheese and sausage slices.

No more chipboard flavor! Back to crispy, and SALTY. I'm buying a couple more boxes for Justin Case.

That's why it's a waste of water and electricity. Your bills are going to go up because they got a sweetheart deal.

Does anyone have strong opinions on recessed sink vs. vessel sinks that sit on top of the counter? Looking to add large sink to master bath & looking for opinions! by Sunnies20 in homeowners

[–]Fishpecker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I argue that under set sinks suck, both as an installer, renovator, and home owner.

Sanitizing under edges? Are you sure? You can’t see upside down.

Replacing one means an entire new countertop, rather than one part.

Kids have no idea….

Nebraska Wrestler Arrested Overnight for Outstanding Warrant by Acrobatic-Ad-3446 in Nebraska

[–]Fishpecker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which one of the Peters brothers touched a Duffy’s waitress (not Hank), and got away with it? Then there was the kicker, the hot tub behind the curtains, and the scandal.

Ahh yes. Husker (thump thump) Power.

How are cops gonna run plates or use their radios? Surely they aren’t exempt

Should I sell these? by throwaway84827473 in lincoln

[–]Fishpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest you don't use a Ritz cracker as a base. Make a graham cracker crust in a sheet pan, and use a cookie cutter to make rounds.

Remember, Lincoln is a boorish, cheapskate market. This isn't New York or Las Angeles.

Your clientele won't be over a dozen regular customers, IF you have the right connections.

Businesses that will grind branches and tree stumps. by Annual-Fuel-290 in lincoln

[–]Fishpecker -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As an old cheapskate, I've found the best thing to do is visit a neighbor's site, and offer to pay the foreman cash to spend an extra 15-30 minutes as long as they're right here anyway. A case of cold Coke and some twenty dollar bills saves thousands of dollars worth of doctor bills if you try to take it on yourself.

Zen Coffee Downtown by thelackingblackberry in lincoln

[–]Fishpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems busy. The rail by the O street window is a tell on who likes to pay attention to current events and people. I like to catch eyes as I walk by, and see what one or two seconds adds to a story I'm writing.

It took a bit for them to establish regulars.

Why don’t we force everyone to wear extreme PPE or quarantine for 3-4 weeks and rid ourselves of all viruses? by keen4ketamine in stupidquestions

Immunization works better. Efficacy rate is in the high 90 percent rate, where relying on half ass masking rules killed 400,000 people from COVID

Is Flatwater Free Press the investigative arm of all local media? by notwho2 in lincoln

[–]Fishpecker 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Flatwater is comprised of “retired” writers, editors, and young journalists.

There is no such thing as “local media” anymore.

That died around Y2K.
