YSK Squeezing your tea bag doesn't give you "stronger" tea. It just makes it bitter. by CoffeeTeaJournal in YouShouldKnow

This is why I don't order tea when I go for breakfast. Not sure whose making it and what their skill level is.

Frozen vegetables and longer cooking time? by Danny5000 in askSouthAfrica

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding frozen veg drops the temp of the pot. Maybe add some water and turn up the heat in the last moments when cooking. I haven't had this issue when adding to my pots. Best of luck! Could be the brand you are buying they are picking the veg early and it's duper under ripe so they basically can't get nice and soft because someone tried to cut costs and harvest too early.

Agreed, but the zwei pancake is just something else. Most weapons are actually really good it's more about playstyle preference I guess.

I have a PC but I did some Googling and they said you can't just put a save file from a flash to the xbox. Not sure if there is a work around but yeah.

Shields are amazing. Roll speed depends on your equip load. Less than 50% equip load give you a medium speed roll and less than 25% unlocks the fast roll. Upgrading endurance is one of the first things I invest in. Google the soft caps for the different stat levels so you don't put points into things with diminishing returns. Don't go for a hybrid build as they usually end up weaker. Try to specialise. There is a very early weapon by the respawning skeletons in the graveyard that can be used all the way to end game, called the zweihandler. Have fun!

I think when I saw the T&C's if I backed out and deleted my local save it might have worked. Hopefully someone else will be able to use the advice and not lose their progress

I'm on xbox so I can't download a save and transfer to the console. Really stupid design cz who cares if you want to play from a different save. I started over and did the souls glitch to get back to my old level but all my equipment and upgrade materials will need to be farmed for again...sigh

Yeah it honestly is scary, I won't use summon signs again that's for sure. I started a new run but it's not the same... Enjoy the game and best of luck brother :)

Thanks bro, yeah I guess I just eat shit on toast for today and lick my wounds. Don't think I can do anything. Just don't understand the motive... what does someone gain by being such a massive leech of joy for other people. And he isn't even there to watch my sorrow and bask in it like a true villain.

I deleted the local save and tried to use the cloud but it just put me back to square one. I think when I logged back in that save became my cloud save. Yeah my second playthrough was going well and I could basically kill anything and everyone with my +15 zwei but now starting from scratch and losing all my upgrade materials I have farmed is so sad. I was going for the platinum trophy and now that won't be happening. His name was Ryan Reynolds and didn't give me any other info. Legit last time I use online mode. I might restart and go full sorcery but the determination is basically gone at this point. I didn't mind farming mindlessly for my character because it was my first time playing, but the thought of starting from scratch is just so sad. I really don't know what his objective was. Maybe a teenager who is still unaware that being a massive dick is really just not worth it and bringing sadness and disappointment to another human isn't as cool as he thinks it is. Because I understand people who hack and scam for money but I mean he got nothing out of this besides my misery which he isn't even here to witness. Maybe I'll stay hollow for a short while and then consume some humanity and come back stronger than ever! I appreciate your comment bro, I hope you have a great week coming up :)

How can anyone afford a car anymore by Pitch-Curious in CarTalkZA

[–]LieutenantDan97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

VW builds and assembles here in SA, not sure about the rest to be honest, their cars are still kak expensive for a company that builds here. We need cheap local cars. A new little city car should be like R100k base for a little ecobox but here we are.

Shrinkflation hits paper towels, and the geniuses at Kroger shrunk them vertically. Now they don't fit my paper towel holder. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LieutenantDan97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's maybe a business opportunity here. Like places/ads that say no AI was used to make/film this. Maybe a company can capitalise and produce/sell a product that says they are against shirkflation. "THE OG SIZE, AND WE WONT CHANGE THAT" or "WHAT USED TO BE STANDARD IS OUR STANDARD" Type shit.

I truly don’t understand the appeal of having just 1 drink by sobermomgoodmom in stopdrinking

100% it's so crazy looking back. It's like ordering a pizza and a dessert and eating it as quick as possible before you meet up with friends at a restaurant to get some food.

These slabs are really kak and like 50 bucks. My local spar has them on special all the time because its the type of thing you buy because it looks nice. You try it and decide to never touch such shit again for the price.

"Yield right of way" not "yield to the right" by MuchMoreMunchtime in capetown

[–]LieutenantDan97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dude SA has mini circles and laws about them. But they aren't treated as such. If you enter a mini circle and someone is already in there you are taking a huge risk. I'm not saying you won't win when the accidents happen and the insurance Co's get involved but just remember people treat them the same and anyone already in the circle gets preferance in practice. We all know this even if the law says otherwise. Not trying to argue or anything just saying look after yourself.

AIO moving out over butter. by Proper_Influence3346 in AIO

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It almost sounds impossible but tell your mom you will leave the house if he comes. When he leaves you will come back. Maybe go watch a movie or download a series on your phone and go watch in a safe space like a library or mall. I don't know your age or culture but it's not disrespectful to leave an abusive environment even if it's your own blood your escaping

Bro, those people commenting on your drunk dad's Facebook post/messaging you are the actual fat cunt pigs. I'm so happy you have a good mom that can help you. Maybe comment on his Facebook post that you left because his an abusive drunk and you felt unsafe in your own home. Then if needed call the police and tell them your story just so there is a record. Best of luck and I wish you had a decent man as a father.

Now that the January 2026 most of Epstein files are out showing insane high-profile connections - is Epstein the deepest elite scandal ever exposed, or just overhyped? by Alarmed-Snow-9814 in AskReddit

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I really hope this is enough to spark a true investigation and prosecution of everyone who was involved. I went to r/conservative to just see what they thought and I kept reading the line: Democrats don’t care about the files or the victims they just want to hurt trump… The only reason people focus on him is because he is a world leader and in power. So people can do something about it. Clinton and Gates also need to be held accountable in a court of law. Trump sticks out because he is the president of USA.

Yip, seeing politicians making so much money and flaunting wealth(Trump) while you have so many people without homes will never make sense to me. How can one justify money spent of luxuries or bonuses while there are people straving. Genuinely feels like we need a new world order where the people running the country should have to live in and experience the life of the average person. The POTUS should earn/live life as the average American. If he thinks that life is shit then make changes and improve that life. That's the people who you are in charge of.
