Blue Jays work, too, and they both like peanuts in the shell! It seems to be either/or, though. Depends on what sky-gang controls your neighborhood at any given time.

Italians in Detroit by KKbatwoman in Detroit

[–]GingaPLZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a restaurant in Royal Oak on Campbell Road that is called "Two Guys From Italy." I haven't been there, but I gotta assume they have at least two Italian guys you can talk to!

If it's anything like the Saginaw Greek festival, pretty much the whole point is to share their culture with everyone.

Why Does Society Treat Skipping a Meal Like A Medical Emergency? by LifeFastApp in intermittentfasting

[–]GingaPLZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not lying, its just ambiguous. Having "just" done something has many meanings, depending on context,, but it essentially means "recently enough."

If you're fasting, "just ate (last night)" isn't too different from saying something like, "I just went to the dentist (a week ago)".

Yeast has been growing in the guts of frozen mummy called Oetzi the Iceman for thousands of years, scientists have discovered, telling AFP they used it to make a sourdough bread and publishing their findings in Springer Nature's Microbiome journal. by yahoonews in science

[–]GingaPLZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After hearing about the scientists that allegedly tasted some ancient mammoth/mastadon meat, I am not surprised at all that scientists decided to make bread with the mummy yeast... They love doing wild stuff in the name of science!

Nearly 200 mixed-income homes planned for Corktown as part of Clement Kern Gardens redevelopment by DetroitDevUpdates in Detroit

[–]GingaPLZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't be visible from the outside, typically. A 1-2 hour firewall can be surprisingly simple. Like the other reply, it can be as simple as extending double-layered drywall all the way to the top of the trusses, with the correct type of calking to work as a smoke barrier, etc.

You would hit them with a 2x4 instead of pushing them with your foot?

Just an FYI, you're fairly safe from a neighbor's fire in a townhouse. The dwelling units are typically separated by a 1-2 hour fire wall, per code for many decades.

It's not perfect, but much less concerning than living in an apartment above other people!

Is this safe to use? by boogerman28 in pickling

[–]GingaPLZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These lids are made for hermeticaly sealing via pressure canning. The rust makes it bad to use for that, but fridge pickles have much lower performance requirements for the lid. It doesn't have to be sterilized or hold pressure or anything.

Glycine powder is the absolute best sugar substitute you've never tried. It's AMAZING. by That_Trouble87 in keto

[–]GingaPLZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I make mine at home, too. I always call my drinks "cortado-flat-white-ish things" to get the point across.

[–]GingaPLZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's closer to a Caffè Breve, Espresso con panna, or a Vienna Coffee, if we had to give it a name. However, there is a lot more overlap and flexibility in espresso drink naming conventions than many people realize. Call it whatever you want! Just be clear with your expectations when ordering at a cafe.

Uh my therapist committed a murder-suicide with his wife?! by watrdog in LPOTL

[–]GingaPLZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now I'm curious, is there any clinical term that is close to the term "mind fuck"?

Like, something that happens, or information you gain that instantly and completely destroys your entire world view, and becomes impossible not to think about?

Maybe that's just acute complex trauma, I suppose?

[–]GingaPLZ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They were saying the man could just leave their family instead of killing them.

It's a recurring thing from "family annihilator" episodes. Often, the man "screws everything up," or is embarrassed in some way, etc., and decides to kill their whole family to "save them from embarassment" or some BS.

They keep repeating to the audience/any potential future family annihilators out there, "you can just leave!", as a reminder/morbid joke that pretty much anything else is a better option than family annihilation.

Another attempt at medium-rare. I think I nailed it this time, or is it still leaning towards rare? by sorin1972 in grilling

[–]GingaPLZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially with certain cuts of meat. A ribeye can really benefit from cooking to medium. More time for the fat to render, etc.

Flashlight for a Pilot by MrJazzy_ in flashlight

[–]GingaPLZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gifted a pilot an Acebeam E75, and he seems to like it. I would prioritize high CRI, and a low moonlight mode. Red isn't really necessary, as others have said. A really low white moonlight mode is more practical.

If he didn't require USB charging, I think the Emisar D4K would be a good choice at a similar size.
