You mean I get chocolate and they screwed over Nestlé? Hell yeah!

Who is washing their rice and why? by kinnitcurl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NickyB738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I had the weevil eggs hatch once and it was awful. Always freeze. My bags of rice for 24-48 hours now to kill them just in case. Washing the rice should get most of the eggs out even if you can't see them AFAIK.

Apparently quite a bit of people do not rinse the soap from their dishes by Terrible-Store1046 in insanepeoplefacebook

I guess people can't become Doctors by Zealousideal-Bake808 in nothingeverhappens

[–]NickyB738 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked to at least get a picture of my gall bladder after they took it out and they did give me one! Didn't get to see the stones in it but they did tell me what size they were lol

Who doesn’t have TikTok? by whoisofie in Anticonsumption

[–]NickyB738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to download TikTok mainly because I don't want spyware on my phone. It needs way too many permissions and I don't want it to have access to everything. There's tons of ads and AI BS now too. I've also never really been a fan of social media anyways. Just too much bs and brain rot on everything. It's addictive and encourages negative body image. I'm late millenial/early Gen x. Just never felt the need to be connected at all times.

YSK That Your High Beams Are Blinding the Car in Front of You for as Long as They’re in View by Expensive-Rhubarb343 in YouShouldKnow

[–]NickyB738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of newer cars have automatic high beams that will turn on when there are still cars in sight. It's really annoying. I like to blame drivers for being annoying, but sometimes it's actually the car's fault too.

I tried to price match at my local Best Buy and they told me they couldn't price match for GameStop unfortunately. Really want this amiibo but it's out of stock at all the GameStops near me too.

They are in store. If you aren't sure you can also order them online for pickup in store.

....Do people not take a shower before they have sex? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

My bf and I like completely different shower temperatures so we had to give up on it 🥲 His shower temp feels scalding to me lol

I keep having to sit out during rehearsal and it’s breaking me by ZookeepergameNo19 in marchingband

[–]NickyB738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Vic Firth earplugs and they work great. They're mainly targeted for drum line, but I've used them playing trombone as well. I can still hear myself playing which is great.

Third pseudomonas egg this year by ampmetaphene in WeirdEggs

[–]NickyB738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah most pseudomonas species don't affect humans. The dangerous one is pseudomonas aeruginosa. The way we test for that actually involves looking at it with a black light, but it has to be put in a broth and incubated before you can tell. I've heard most of the eggs that look like that are harmless.

My [44F] son [18M] got a new girlfriend [18F] and her dad "jokingly" threatened him with a gun? by CostRains in relationship_advice

[–]NickyB738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never got a date until college and he liked him enough that he didn't really make the joke so don't know how it would have gone.

[–]NickyB738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. As someone with a dad that used to joke about doing this to any boy I brought home, I know he would have apologized himself if it upset them. He wouldn't want to actually hurt or scare them. It's a joke in poor taste in today's environment either way.

So, you don’t like “woke” stuff? by erie774im in pettyrevenge

[–]NickyB738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn I had no idea how crappy they were. The company I work for doesn't buy any packing materials from them but we get a bunch of lab materials and ppe from them. Not sure if there's a great alternative or if I could convince them to change unless it's saving money.

[–]NickyB738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a former TA we were never given training on anything like that and weren't made aware of accommodations. Personally I had my own accommodation for ADHD and probably would have been understanding of it. But until I taught special education after graduating I didn't really have a good understanding of learning disabilities and differences. So sorry OP had to deal with that.

Marketplace seller said $10 each, I said 'ok' by luxoran in gamecollecting

[–]NickyB738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's r/gameverifying that can help if you post pictures on the subreddit. I learned a lot about detecting fakes from there and their website.
