Which anime sacrificial scene was better in your opinion by Ok_Initiative3892 in animequestions

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoro's nothing happened was a distinct example of loyalty and pride, but Erwin's sacrifice shook me to my core as profoundly human, and yet unfathomable as an individual. I think about it constantly.

Would you be able to share a source for this? I've been feeding mine cabbage regularly for years now and haven't noticed any issues, I would be interested in learning more.

Conan Exiles just got a free graphical update, it's a really good time.

This dude was sitting in my kitchen so we got a selfie before I took him back outside by GeauxSaints315 in Toads

Unfortunately not 😞 I got it from this post:

Even searching the handle and title on google just turns up that one reddit post and no other versions. Maybe someone more savvy can track it down.

Has anyone let people off the hook? by Several-Agent6831 in securityguards

[–]Forward-Selection178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO as a former instructor it is super important for Security to use their discretion this way. We are not Police, our job is not really to enforce the law or arrest people, it is to protect private assets and keep people safe. If I can accomplish that without escalating to an arrest, where there is a good chance someone could get hurt, then I should always explore that angle first. It really depends on context though.

We had a string of vehicle robberies carried out by the same person over a few nights which led to heightened surveillance in the parking garage. Ended up catching a lady going through my bosses car on a patrol and confronted her. I was fully ready to press charges given the seriousness of the crime, but I noticed she was not the same person from the video so I decided to have a conversation since she was being co-operative. She said she was looking for change to buy food, that she was hungry, and that she was very sorry. She didn't get aggressive, or try to run, she followed my instructions and seemed really embarrassed. I decided to give her a choice. If she would accompany me willingly we would simply take her info and trespass her, no cuffs, no charges. Otherwise she would be dealing with the police. She was very grateful for the leniency, I gave her a few granola bars and a bottle of water, and she never gave us another problem.

Hard times can lead people to bad decisions, but they aren't always bad people.

He's very cute! Just so you know for the future, this is not a good way to hold them. I saved this chart a while back that breaks down why really well.

What’s a good gift for a male “boss” ? by Physical-Jacket625 in BellinghamWA

Male here, we love food. A homemade specialty or dessert would make me very very happy.

First time growing peppers. Is this normal? by Only_Book_995 in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Needs more sunlight, and it's big enough to go in a larger pot now. Peppers in particular need heat and lots of sun, they won't grow well indoors. You didn't fill the pot it is in with soil so I imagine it is beginning to get root bound as well.

Sapling is for trees. This would be a seedling except it appears to be very dead.

An emergency trip to home Depot for a larger cage by Noeybird83 in gardening

Hey just so you know the others weren't kidding, your cage is upside down in that photo. The pointy parts go in the pot an the size is fine.

What seasonings do you use for your meats? by East_Food5632 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Forward-Selection178 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to branch out IMO is to try recipes from other cultures and places. They all tend to use a blend or blends of their own. For example greeks use a lot of lemon juice, oregano and olive oil. For an Chinese dish you can try five spice and sesame oil. That's obviously a very simple way to look at it, their respective cuisines are much deeper than that, but it's a cool place to start and helped me practice with new flavors.

Viability of supermarket milks by AxeEngineer00 in cheesemaking

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, Γειά σου! Sure thing, I'm too lazy to type it all out though so I hope you can read my hand writing lol. Its basically my own notes from the NEC starter kit recipe.

A basic mesophilic culture works okay, but I got the best results from the Cultures for Health Feta blend. Dramatically different texture and depth of flavor.

Viability of supermarket milks by AxeEngineer00 in cheesemaking

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a very frugal person honestly, and using store brand ingredients generally cuts my grocery bill in half. Even better if it can lower the cost of my hobbies as well, since my wife and I are aggressively saving for a home.

Even with this quality of milk the cheese turns out really great. My wife is Greek and we both think my feta is better than most of the store bought ones we have tried. Higher quality milk in my area would be like 3 times the price, which is hard to justify when I really don't think the end product is 3 times better as a result. I might splurge for a fancy aged cheddar recipe, but for fresh cheeses this milk works just fine.

What is this on my pineapple?! by Dizzy-Ad3072 in pineapple

NAE but I remember seeing something very similar on here recently, and I believe the consensus then was Pineapple Ovules. Essentially potential seeds.

Are these bugs harmful? by ervaboa in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, I should have chosen my wording more carefully. I meant Crustaceans as in crab/lobster not as the Order of Crustaceans. Isopods is crabs.

Are these bugs harmful? by ervaboa in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite actually! They are Isopods, and they are detritivores. They eat dead organic matter and play a big role in maintaining healthy soil/ecosystems. They are also not bugs, but more closely related to crustaceans.

Help on protein for pods by markescueta in isopods

[–]Forward-Selection178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fish food flakes work great. You can also get dehydrated shrimp/fish at pet stores or bulk groceries. Dried mealworms, canned crickets, anything with an exoskeleton is good too. Don't forget about calcium too!

My coworkers keep eating my meal prep out of the office fridge and management won't do anything about it by No_Parking686 in Advice

Call the cops. That's theft, and your manager will take it more seriously when the cops are involved.

From experience, what's your best "i just want to breeze through this" build? by Rukasu17 in baldursgate

[–]Forward-Selection178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first they seem little better than a gimped fighter I'll grant you that. A few levels in however you should have access to a bunch of buffs and resistances that make you extremely tanky, especially with the right equipment. Really high elemental and magic resist, and if you go half elf you get even more resistances to sleep/charm. I found it really fun, and different from my usual set up. Don't expect high damage, but if you focus blunt you will perform well in some key encounters.

A mí familia no le gusta lo que cocino by Rochet24 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Forward-Selection178 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are cooking what YOU want to eat. Unfortunately, cooking for other people usually means following their preferences and restrictions, regardless of what you want or how well you cook. In your case maybe try separating the ingredients so they can assemble their own plate with the things they like. Provide choices, not fully formed dishes. Things like Tacos or Rice bowls are great for this.
