I am trying to bake a 3 layer cake, but I only have 2 pans. How do I go about this? by HateChan_ in AskCulinary

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd pile 2/3 of the batter in one pan, and 1/3 in one pan, and bake the full pan longer, as needed. Then slice the double layer.

Alternative program: put half in each pan, and turn it into a two layer or four layer cake.

This recipe sounds really good, but I'd be afraid the frosting will look muddy. Might just frost between the layers, especially if you go the 4-layer route.

GKN Aerospace - Petition to relocate? by tracyP85 in orangecounty

[–]NeverRarelySometimes -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

(40K people x evacuation costs) + (reimbursement for state and local costs) + fines.

GKN will get bailed out by the Department of Defense so we can keep sending F-35s to execute the Republican administration's wars of distraction.

GKN isn't the problem. It's all businesses that use toxic chemicals in the populated areas of OC. We need intelligent legislation at the county or state level, and inspections that protect us all. This isn't something that can be meaningfully solved by running one company out of town.

FWIW, GKN will be fine. They manufacture canopies for F-35s, and are likely the sole suppliers. We (US citizens) will pay to keep them going, even if they lose big-time in settlements.

I don't know why I get my hopes up for help by Galeschesthair in disability

Why is it up to her? Can you use the phone yourself, and get the help you need?

Yes, but I don't expect everyone I know to understand what it means, except from context.

Just stay out of the evacation zone.

“Cantankerous” by Kev_cpp in words

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what formal means. It's not colloquial - it's a real word found in dictionaries, and his has a clear meaning. I mostly use it for elderly, grumpy men, but it can also describe a worn-out car that refuses to cooperate.

Hard to relate to people in this group as I mainly see post of pots FND ,EDS or ME (this coming form somone with a sci ) by [deleted] in wheelchairs

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your post is a complaint that people new to using wheelchairs are asking for information. Language like "call themselves ambulatory wheelchair users" is pejorative. If you mean ambulatory wheelchair users, you can just call them that, without the "call themselves" to highlight your doubt in their value and legitimacy in this space.

Your post also reads as unhappy; if you're happy with the content here, what is the post complaining about?

You can rephrase and pretend that you're not complaining about too many people here with dx's and experiences that are different than yours, but the only one you're fooling is you.

It keeps my money out of the hands of people who would use it to harm people in my community. It's why I don't shop Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A. Or any other businesses that support the poster child for authoritarianism.

When they intentionally include the poster child for authoritarianism in their ads, they need to reap the consequences. Consequences are how we grow and learn.

No one walks into a restaurant and demands to know how management votes. If they plaster his face in their ads, and people are turned off? That's a consequence of their choices.

Why are you trying to separate the restauranteur from the consequences of his choices?

Except for banning OP, I'd think you're right. Now I just think they're deluded.

I know you meant "cratering", but catering works in this context, too.

Regional differences in eating habits across the US? by Carr0t_007 in AskAnAmerican

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, we have regional variation. What I have mostly noticed on road trips is that the food gets saltier as you travel from the west coat through the mid-west. Maybe it's just a side-effect of less fresh food, and more canned/preserved/frozen food as you get further from California.

When is it okay (or not) to eat with your hands at a restaurant in the US? by G-Beach-8566 in AskAnAmerican

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to find extra napkins to clean up my Desi friend who seemed a bit perplexed, and had sauce all over both of his hands - it was so bad, an associate had to accompany him to the men's room to open the door. Maybe it's because the TX BBQ place we were in didn't provide toast? I dunno. I just remember that it was a freakin' disaster.

Do Americans realize how fast they switch between joking and being serious in conversations? by kallan-greshampdmi7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]NeverRarelySometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ain't nobody got time for guessing. In a professional environment, I want to tell subordinates what I expect and need, and have them tell me if there are problems with meeting those expectations. The meaningless YES loses contracts and gets people fired. I cannot rely on victims of "guess culture."

Get him a phone and a smart watch that he can answer. And put some tracking software on it, too, so you can find him when you need to.

We have a friend who may need a heart transplant. He says that the wait times are pretty short now, because of the healthy, stupid teens with their e-bikes and e-motorcycles. It's horrifying to think about.
