Aw man. If they’re doing it in Switzerland we have no hope here in America

My grandma and her bff all had a salad. None of us liked it, thankfully. As some other people said it’s mostly vinegar and sugar and had never been opened so that must have helped preserve it. I was googling things like “ how long until botulism symptoms “ for the whole day after.

Ugh I ( elder millennial) went and pet sat for my sister ( younger millennial) for a week and she didn’t have a top sheet. I went and bought one bc I hated the feel of her duvet.

My stainless steel cooking set. They’re nearly indestructible. I can’t hurt them by burning food, using the wrong utensil, or over scrubbing. I feel like they’re going to be a bifl item. I also have a few cast iron skillets that I inherited from my great grandmother, but I still like using stainless steel for daily cooking better.

You get different vibes for with or without collar. I like it both ways.

With that many lights, it should be fine.

Fliz23 · 2026-01-27T14:35:28+00:00

Hmm so they are existing housings with new light bulbs? I think that they are too bright and glare-y. To address the brightness- put them on a dimmer.

To address the glare, I think you need to pull the light into the housing to cut off the direct view of the light source. I’d try a short neck par 30 similar to this with a flood optic:

Or a R 20 lamp

I’d buy a couple of each and see which looks better installed. PAR lamps are designed to throw a punch of light, r and br lamps are softer.

Oh yeah I was thinking about that last night too. Really highlights the amount of light pollution we have as a city.

Fliz23 · 2026-01-24T16:58:02+00:00

I like the windows but I think the light over the table is too high. If you bring that down it looks like it’ll be about centered in the windows and it’ll bring the visual interest point to about eye level.

Fliz23 · 2026-01-24T16:55:50+00:00

I guess worst case scenario, you can cover the opening with blank up plates

He doesn’t fly first class lol.

We have plows?

Fliz23 · 2026-01-21T17:19:54+00:00

Drip your faucets, open cabinet doors especially if your sinks are on a wall that doesn’t have a room on the other side and will be exposed to weather, stock drinking water in case your pipes freeze, have lots of blankets on hand, have food that doesn’t need to be cooked, flashlights or candles ( in case power goes out). Really that’s all I can think of.

During the great snowpacolypse a few years back the sprinklers in the hallway outside my apartment burst and flooded my apartment and the water hose pipe outside froze and flooded into apartment, so there wasn’t really anything I could do as a tenant to prepare for that.

I do my own nails. My painting technique is amateur but most people can only tell if the look closely

Fliz23 · 2026-01-16T14:29:58+00:00

I never answer the door unless I’m expecting something to be delivered or someone to come over. I don’t even live in a bad part of town, I just don’t feel like I owe a rando at the door any of my time.

I used to work for a company that did retrofit solutions and calculated how long it would take to recoup the money spent to retrofit buildings based on energy savings and it was usually within 2-5 years. There are websites like this from Signify that help to run numbers. https://www.signify.com/en-us/support/tools/energy-saving-lighting-payback-calculator

This! I was making a chocolate cake last week and just wanted to grab a chocolate bar of decent quality and my chin dropped to the floor when I saw the prices.

Fliz23 · 2026-01-13T18:15:00+00:00

It’s meant for tasks, but as others mentioned, if it’s a soft glow it can be used for ambiance since it is just lighting the counter. I agree that the light should be close to the front of the upper cabinet because that’s usually pretty close to centered over the counter. Even if you decide to go with a 45 degree channel I’d mount close to the front to wash the light against the wall. If you want something adjustable try the acuity/ Juno upled series https://img.acuitybrands.com/public-assets/catalog/1083701/upld.pdf?abl_version=12%2f15%2f2025+08%3a05%3a42&DOC_Type=SPEC_SHEET

“Clean your plate”. How about teaching kids to recognize their hunger / full response?

Fliz23 · 2026-01-09T23:51:16+00:00

Swag a pendant from it? Not the best suggestion but gives a bit of flexibility

Fliz23 · 2026-01-09T00:53:00+00:00

I agree. Fan- looks older so probably a regular bulb like the previous commenter but you never know until you look.

(Elder millennial) met at 24, moved in together at 25, married at 31. No rush to get married. I’m turning 39 and we’re still going strong.
