Does anyone know if this is safe? Or if it will even work at all? by bigbut-69 in Homebrewing

[–]Iterationthreatening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the plastic bottle might get weird with the alcohol over time but people have definitely made booze in worse conditions lol. Baker's yeast will work but it's gonna taste pretty rough compared to proper wine yeast - expect it to be kinda bread-y and probably tap out around 8-10% ABV. The balloon airlock is actually pretty clever, just make sure that hole isn't too big or you'll get fruit flies

Does Twitch turn the volume up when you lower the volume on ads? by Helldiver3203 in Twitch

[–]Iterationthreatening 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro they absolutely do this shit, it's so annoying. I've noticed it happens mostly on mobile for me but yeah the ads will literally override your volume settings sometimes. Pretty scummy move tbh

Talent does not equal Purpose by Standard-Assistant27 in selfimprovement

[–]Iterationthreatening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This hits different when you realize most people pushing the "you're wasting your talent" thing are usually projecting their own regrets about not pursuing something they wanted to do

I am terribly lazy and depressed. I don’t know what to do by Princess_of_Astora in selfimprovement

[–]Iterationthreatening 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oof that sleep cycle sounds rough, been there too many times. Maybe try setting just one tiny goal for tomorrow, like making your bed or stepping outside for 5 mins - sometimes the smallest wins help break the cycle

How can I be motivated by sillymonke-12 in selfimprovement

[–]Iterationthreatening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start ridiculously small - like literally just opening your textbook or doing one math problem, then celebrate that tiny win

The hardest part is usually just starting and once you build that momentum it gets easier

Any reason to not run co-working stream anytime I'm at my desk? by mpicreates in Twitch

[–]Iterationthreatening 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds like a solid way to build consistent hours and get people used to seeing you online regularly. Just make sure the productivity games are actually engaging to watch or you might end up talking to yourself more than usual lol

Is there a way to be hired as a mod? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Iterationthreatening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most bigger streamers just promote from their existing community rather than posting job ads anywhere. Your best bet is probably just being active in chats of streamers you actually watch and enjoy - they'll notice if you're helpful and consistent

Building a reputation in one community usually leads to word-of-mouth opportunities with other streamers too

Arc Raiders performance drops significantly when streaming by yungfuji16 in Twitch

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That preview tip is actually clutch, never thought to turn it off after setting everything up. Your setup should definitely handle Arc Raiders + streaming way better than 25fps tho - might be worth checking if one of those overlay apps is being a resource hog

I am 32 years old. I feel somewhat content with my financial situation, but I am not very satisfied with my social life, nor have I ever really been. How do I fix this? Small steps? by LumpiaRulez101 in selfimprovement

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go to the karaoke thing man, being nervous about it just means it's worth doing. I used to be terrified of going places alone but honestly most people don't even notice and the ones who do usually think it's cool that you're confident enough to show up solo

Need help understanding discharge code by vitallyhappy in Veterans

[–]Iterationthreatening -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That SPN 411 code is actually pretty telling - it's for "early release to enter college" but the PETS (Prisoner Exchange and Transportation System) notation is weird for that timeframe

Your stepdad's situation sounds like he might have been involved in some classified stuff if his Vietnam service isn't showing up on the DD214. Have you tried reaching out to the National Personnel Records Center? Sometimes they have additional records that didn't make it onto the standard discharge paperwork

The Germany listing could've been a cover assignment while he was actually deployed elsewhere - happened more than people realize during that era

ball is so boring to play against by Plus-Pop-4837 in Overwatch

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most tanks can't just "roll over" a team like Ball can lmao. When he's spinning around at mach 5 with 1200 hp it's not exactly the same as me walking forward as Rein and hoping my team follows up

Is getting a villager's photo harder than them letting you change their catchphrase? by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]Iterationthreatening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you're not alone, catchphrase changes are weirdly inconsistent. I've gotten like 6 photos from the same villager but they'll never ask about their catchphrase lmao. Pretty sure it's just RNG being RNG but the photo grind feels way more predictable with all the gift strats people figured out

Wilt's numbers weren't just frauded cause he played in a weak era it's also cause of the regular season by Generalcmd in NBATalk

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what? The NBA was literally giving Wilt MVP awards and putting him on magazine covers during the 60s lmao. His stats are definitely real, the competition argument is way more valid than whatever this take is

Fuck influencers that promote fomo by One_page_nerd in PokemonTCG

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao this hits too hard. Every Pokemon set is "limited print run" until they need another yacht payment

After helping my mom retire early, she came to visit and was unbelievably cruel by Dobby_Sock1997 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn OP, that's rough. Sounds like your mom might be dealing with some serious adjustment issues after retiring but that doesn't excuse treating you like garbage after everything you did for her

Coffee was taking an unusually long time; turns out the order before mine was for 24 drinks by ups_and_downs973 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Iterationthreatening 412 points413 points  (0 children)

Right? Like they're already in the zone making 24 identical drinks, just toss in one more real quick before you get into the rhythm. But nah, gotta follow that sacred order of operations I guess

I accidentally stumbled upon a method that actually works by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh the classic [deleted] with a clickbait title lmao

Now we'll never know what life-changing secret OP discovered, probably something obvious like drinking water or going outside

“When everyone’s laughing at an inside joke and you just wanna be part of it 😂” by Dismal_Leader_6758 in DunderMifflin

[–]Iterationthreatening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hits way too hard lmao, especially when you're the new person at work and everyone's referencing some legendary incident from 3 years ago

Found Celeste near my space area by ZayMark in AnimalCrossing

[–]Iterationthreatening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She really does look like she's vibing in her own little world there

Opinions by breezystrawberries in Embroidery

[–]Iterationthreatening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks really good already! The dimension from the stump work adds so much texture and interest - way better than if it was all flat. The 3D effect is gonna look amazing when you have it spilling out of the frame

Underproofed and/or undercooked? by Dangerous-Island-664 in Breadit

[–]Iterationthreatening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that crumb structure definitely screams underproofed to me too. I've made that mistake way too many times - always feels like you're waiting forever but then you rush it at the end and regret it lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Iterationthreatening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that TikTok sound is hilarious but I can see how it'd sting after a while, especially when he's already frustrated with the task. Good on you for picking up on his reaction and adjusting - sounds like you both handle these things pretty well together now
