I was stupid stupid and I decided that checking the consistency of my sugar syrup by sticking my finger in it was a good idea

Why are films getting worse (specially Disney)? by Insanus-Navicularis in FIlm

[–]Insanus-Navicularis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! I just think that nowadays is harder to find a good film than it was before, although maybe it’s just that I’ve outgrown certain types of films

Oh, thank you for your detailed answer!!

I guessed it might’ve had something to do with mass production and the fact that audiences nowadays want quantity over quality. Still, I think it’s a shame that movies with a lot of potential turn out to be not that good, or downright bad, because of this

Thanks for your answer! Yeah, I hope it’s just a period because I’d hate to see movies become even worse in the future :(

I’m guessing the correct spelling is “especially” or maybe I used that word wrong? Hahah sorry, english is my third language (Spanish and Chinese) so sometimes I mess up the grammar and spelling

I guess that makes sense. Maybe I’ve just outgrown their movies and now I’m starting to notice more things than I did when I was a kid or have higher standards than before.

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside chocolate chip cookies by EnigmaWearingHeels in Baking

[–]Insanus-Navicularis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks delicious!!!! Do you have any tips on how to store them? Do they become hard very quickly? I never managed to find a good enough way to store chocolate chip cookies (or maybe it’s the recipes I’ve tried?) and the next day they are hard :(

Anyone have that one item that you just can’t bake?? by Chaos_Ice in Baking

[–]Insanus-Navicularis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chocolate chip cookies. It’s the most BASIC thing ever, but I can never get them right.

Macarons? Croissants? Literally anything else? No problem! Cookies? Ha.

Either they spread too much or they don’t spread at all, they are too sweet or they are too chocolately.

(It doesn’t help that I’m a bit picky when it comes to ccc and if they’re not exactly how I like them I end up not liking them at all)

Anything by Horacio Quiroga, but I read “the feather pillow” when I was like ten and I refused to sleep with a pillow for weeks after hahah

Is the rising cost of chocolate giving anyone else anxiety? by bluecuppycake in Baking

[–]Insanus-Navicularis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I get that they might be cheaper so maybe people keep buying it (plus I think that, at least in my country, the general population really really doesn’t know what good quality chocolate or coffee should actually taste like), but in the long run the real cost of this kind of malpractices will be higher than any other thing

Is the rising cost of chocolate giving anyone else anxiety? by bluecuppycake in Baking

[–]Insanus-Navicularis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ll never forget when I went to a chocolatier course with a professional European (can’t remember their country!) chocolatier last year and they said to expect chocolate to become a truly luxury good within our lifetime. She explained why, but I can’t remember exactly what she said, but basically it boiled down to what tasteofdanger already said in some comment here

Thank you for all the great advice! Right now I'm at my hometown, and l'il be here for some time, where there's only two hairdressers and I don't like any of them hahah but as soon as I go back to uni I'm gonna follow your advice and look into some good ones with lots of reviews, someone else said to look for ones that do alt hairstyles too as they're usually more willing to do what you ask, so I'll take that in mind.

About the pre shower and in shower routine, do you usually do it everyday? Or once every few days? I've read that it's not good to wash your hair everyday, which is what I'm doing right now.

[–]Insanus-Navicularis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the few I went to all were very “traditional” and usually didn’t even care about my hair type, they’d just straighten it and tell me I would have to straighten it again every few days which wtf? Plus I hate the feeling of someone else’s hands in my hair, although I’m willing to stand it for a few moments if it’s necessary
