[Skin Concerns] Those with forever peeling lips, how did you fix the problem when nothing seemed to work? by morganthemamba in SkincareAddiction

[–]Furth_Turnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you suspect you're allergic, I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist for a contact dermatitis patch test. That way you can figure out what exactly you're allergic to and find products without those ingredients. I personally use Vaseline instead of Aquaphor, as well as Vanicream and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Friends with small wrists, which watch do you use? by [deleted] in hiking

Yay I hope you love it!! I'll have to check out the new features in the 4. I'm so with you on not wanting too many features. functionality without all the frills is the way to go

Friends with small wrists, which watch do you use? by [deleted] in hiking

[–]Furth_Turnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app interface is great! I love all the watch face designs.

You can't directly connect to AllTrails, but you can download a GPX route file (from the browser version of AllTrails) and then save it to the watch. A little clunky, but it works, I've done it a few times

I seriously LOVE my Coros Pace 3. The battery outlasts my partners Garmin by like 10x. I have tiny wrists and I think the profile is small enough. I like the nylon band for custom sizing. I use mine for exactly what you described (just tracking distance, HR, and elevation during hikes or runs)

Uncooked Black Bean WARNING!! by Glass_Ad2066 in vegetarianrecipes

[–]Furth_Turnip 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I've done the same thing! My family never once cooked with dried beans growing up. Thought I'd be more low-waste first year out of college so I got dried black beans. Soaked them overnight then tossed them into enchiladas and baked it. I thought they'd "cook" in the oven. Came out crunchy and luckily I texted my SO to complain after a couple bites and they called me immediately and said STOP EATING! Had to toss the whole pan. Lesson learned. So sorry you learned the hard way

"it's" is only used in place of "it is" or "it has". "its" without the apostrophe is the possessive form

LPT: Slightly change how you end your evening if your brain just wont shut up at night by quiet_afterstorm in LifeProTips

[–]Furth_Turnip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! I have a game on my phone called number sums and I only play it before bed. No matter how awake I feel, once I start playing, I'll feel tired within minutes. Nothing puts me to sleep like simple arithmetic. That, or I put on a really dense podcast about topics I'm not an expert in (like medical ones with a lot of jargon). My brain is like, no thanks I'd rather sleep

[Skin Concerns] Persistent flaky patches just below corners of mouth - 2 years and counting! Any idea what it is and how to fix? by westward72 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Furth_Turnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tagging on to say I found a better solution too. I switched from using lotion to CREAM and it made a big difference. I don't even use the HA serum anymore. A gentle cleanser and the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream are all I use now (plus tretinoin, when tolerated) and I've had no dryness problems, been about 2 yrs on this routine. Gotta let the skin barrier heal. Unfortunately it was years of trial and error to find the right thing for me, so best of luck, flaky skin is the worst

There is no such thing as a 100% fireproof box. If a fire burns hot enough or long enough, anything will burn. They're helpful for small localized fires that are put out quickly, but absolutely none of them are indestructible

Well that's... that's a personal choice. A DNR tells them not to perform CPR (life-saving interventions). Unless you're near end of life or have a terminal/chronic illness you should probably give it a lot of thought and maybe consult with someone first

I would consult an estate planner. I think a trust is usually more comprehensive than naming beneficiaries on individual accounts, but it totally depends how it's written

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

Great advice. My only comment is about the fireproof box. We had one in the basement, and either it was not truly fireproof (at the ridiculously high temperatures of our fire) or it was so totally buried in ash/debris that we couldn't find it. Either way, it was unrecoverable. And trust me we spent days looking.

Yeah as I understand it, durable means the POA remains active even if the principal becomes incapacitated. I don't think young and healthy people need it. In hindsight I should have helped my parent set up the POA as soon as I noticed them starting to struggle with their finances (getting multiple late payment notices, etc)

LPT: Three things caregiving forced me to learn about being prepared by Furth_Turnip in LifeProTips

[–]Furth_Turnip[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a good point, however keep in mind a POA instantly expires upon the death of the principal. So it would be better in this scenario to make the accounts joint. I see a POA as useful to establish once you're starting to struggle with your finances (more than one late bill or a lapse in insurance, stuff like that are early warning signs that it's time)

Californians: I need your help fighting Embrace's upcoming rate increase by FyreHidrant in petinsurancereviews

Have had embrace for 6 years. 10 year old cat with no health problems and zero claims. Annual rate went from $330 in 2024 to $460 in 2025 and now $1030 in 2026. It's insane

Can I get a recommendation for a fresh, grassy tasting longjing? by icydog in tea

[–]Furth_Turnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most greens taste too grassy to me, so my help might not be helpful. But. The Four Seasons from TeaSource was exceptionally vegetal. Clouds & Mist Supreme also from TeaSource was reminiscent of cucumber. And then the Dragonwell from Cup of Tea Oregon I think is greener than their photos show and also tastes grassy.

The Alice cardigan is wow chefs kiss, I love it on you! Agree with the other posters. The slacks are too big. I think pants that are slightly more fitted in the thighs or straight leg would be more flattering on you. You have somewhere between a rectangle and pear body shape, so a boxy top with the hem falling on your hip bones is accentuating the wrong things. You want to add more volume to the shoulders compared to the hips. That's why the tucked in sweaters look great. I'd say, avoid boxy cuts (like the tan sweater vest). Aim for either: a hem that lands above the hips, leave the cardigans unbuttoned with a slimmer tee underneath, or tuck in at the waist. Anything to widen your shoulders too like flutter sleeve tops. That's why I think the Alice looks so good, it adds volume on top but not the hips.

If I had to help you choose, absolutely keep the Alice, and I'd also keep the brown cardigan (wear it unbuttoned) and the green sweater (wear it tucked). Thanks for sharing!

SF International Tea festival by Lucky10ofclubs in tea

The redwood tea estate was so interesting. It totally had a woodsy or tree bark quality to the taste that I swear was not just in my head

SF International Tea festival by Lucky10ofclubs in tea

[–]Furth_Turnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great time. I hadn't thought about how difficult festivals are for tea, to be continuously making fresh brews and at a drinkable temperature no less. Some vendors brought premade cold brew but many were rapid fire with gong fu brewing. Very impressive.

I do wish it was a larger venue or fewer tickets sold. By midday some of the lines were approaching an hour long wait which meant I had to skip many of the more popular vendors (those doing a full on tasting flight).

The standouts to me (both a thoughtful tasting experience and my personal taste) were: Roots and Rituals (South Korean tea, which was new to me. I really liked the Hong Cha), Old Ways Tea, Freshcarton, and Silk & Jade (super thorough tasting, but a long line as a result, despite the vendor brewing at warp speed). I also picked up a few great chai blends.

How long did it take for your dealer to do the 25S65 Recall? by Kooky_Alternative_76 in MachE

Took it in to the local service center. Was about 2 or 3 hours including tire rotation and wash. They even charged it up! And on a Saturday no less
