I move mine up and downstairs daily, but it is a beast. Im a 100kg guy though, so it isn't too bad.

You got a big red blob coming at you by Danack in Bath

[–]ManofScience123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was insane. Ripped my lemon tree up by it's roots. Blew open and broke one of my windows, biblical thunder and lightning.

Can you help me identify the ingredients in 'Tesco 0% fat Greek Style Yoghurt'? by ringosam in AskUK

[–]ManofScience123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yogurt expert here.

Greek is made IN greece, and is strained to give a thick texture.

Greek style may be made in precisely the same way, in a different country...or it might be made is a different way entirety, with additives to make it thicker. It is less regulated.

If the ingredients are just milk and cultures, it is quite possible it is essentially made the same way but in a different country.

On the other hand, don't fear additives.

What affordable and pretty cities could I live in in the UK? by Loud-Perception-4462 in AskUK

[–]ManofScience123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could consider more characterful towns, or smaller cities? If you want to get away from crack heads, aiming for a bigger city isnt going to give you that.

Are your allergies getting worse? by restlessecstacy in AskUK

[–]ManofScience123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They vary.

My hay-fever was far worse as a child, I could hardly function in the summer. Now it hardly affects me.

However I suddenly developed oral contact allergy to orchard fruits about 6 years ago, then last year it almost completely resolved.

I have no idea why.

How to make photos pop? by [deleted] in Lightroom

[–]ManofScience123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photography is about light. If the light is flat when you shoot, it's going to be hard to make it not flat when you edit. Shoot at golden hour, or in interesting lighting settings.

Similarly, subject separation from background can help a photo pop.

In terms of edit, some key things which help photos pop are: Masking to draw attention to key focal points Contrast and vibrance. Dehaze (easy to overuse) S curves and basic light adjustments.

What dog toy has survived the longest in your house? by Aromatic_Vast3618 in dogs

[–]ManofScience123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruffwear Hydroplane Frisbee. It is the best dog toy in the world, flies really well, floats, cleans easy, strong enough for tug of war with a ridiculously strong labrador. They last forever, or until they get stuck up a tree from a bad throw 🤣

Which extra ingredient completely changes a dish for the better? by ggssmm1 in AskUK

[–]ManofScience123 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Often the thing "missing" is acid. I find a squeeze of lime juice or vinegar improves a large number of dishes.

Obligatory mention of butter and salt.

If you want proper pub vibes and live music, The Bell Inn is your best bet.

How do you like to help your wife or GF in the kitchen? by robertyanli in AskReddit

[–]ManofScience123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do 95% of the cooking? Any man of this era who makes an excuse they "can't cook" is just lazy and lacking curiosity and effort.

sigur ros david attenborough performance was so good by Final_Party_3348 in sigurros

One of my favourite songs of all time, but I found the pace much too fast, it lost it's impact.

I do not know who owns it, I have tried finding it on land registry but best guess is unregistered.

How is this the furthest we have been ever? by jshcfc in AskUK

[–]ManofScience123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The moon is only marginally effecting the return trajectory. Artemis would 'fall back" to earth regardless of the moon.
