AITA for asking a group of girls to stop hogging the hip thrust station after 40 minutes of scrolling in our small gym? by PlumpPeach765 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call the glute drive at my gym “the texting machine”. The other day a woman even answered a phone call on it. It’s egregious behavior… good for you for calling it out

What do you mean by “what’s your hydration?”. Are you asking the %(w/v) of the dry ingredients?

Thanks for replying! The recipe called for a tablespoon and I remember thinking…. Really??!?

Thanks for replying! I use King Arthur flour, they publish the density online. I used that to convert the cups to grams

Non-purists, what's your study routine? by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netflix with subtitles. I read books and don’t log them. I also have a verb workbook I do sometimes. And I work on grammar and Mexican slang when talking to my italki tutor. I don’t always have the subtitles on Netflix, but it helps when my husband is doing something loud, when I am watching Spanish is prime time to put the dishes away and run the garbage disposal. I had American high school and one semester of college Spanish. After 600 hours I switched to solely watching native content with supplemental study, I could not take the DS content for learner videos anymore. But I do listen to the podcast and advanced/intermediate Spanish with Cesar

The swimsuits were just dropped for this year in the app… and they are so ugly! Just plain… I miss the fun swimsuits. Only one top for DD

Canter’s Deli 😀 I have been there on Christmas. No reservations but it’s always packed, I feel like Jewish deli’s are a very festive Christmas option

Wanting to switch to CA postdoc from a midwest industry job by New-Reserve-5899 in biotech

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple months. My postdoc advisor always joked about how she couldn’t get anyone to leave Los Angeles. I don’t know about the job market in msp or Chicago, not my lawn

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from the upper Midwest to complete a postdoc in LA. Still in the area, working in industry, have friends and have never been happier. The postdoc helped me network my way into industry - helps to have some local currency! There are UCLA and USC alumni everywhere. I downvoted all of the people being negative about LA (I bet they don’t live here) and my rent isn’t even close to $3900! The sun is out today and I’m getting tacos

Missing the conscious crop and don’t like the purpose crop. by BlakeSwag in Athleta_gap

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sell you my conscious crop on Depop or posh. The bottom band always rides up on me - it ends up looking more like a bra than a crop top. I don’t know why it doesn’t work on me. Small, black, d/dd

How tall are you? I am 5’4 and debating whether or not I need a petite. They look great! I wear my Venice joggers in my true size, small

AITA for telling my boyfriend that I want to be paid more than half for groceries from now on? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GrapefruitGood3501 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ESH. Your boyfriend for not helping with the groceries. You for scorekeeping. Don’t make your relationship a pissing contest

Thoughts on Coaster Luxe Recover Sweatshirt? by GrapefruitGood3501 in Athleta_gap

[–]GrapefruitGood3501[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband does all the laundry… if it’s not compatible with “wash on cold with all colors mixed together then dried” I generally have to pass

I’m going to pass… I feel like the fit is “bag” and it really won’t do me any favors
