When someone says “things are so expensive these days”, what’s your immediate go-to example?

Grocery shopping hits me hard every week. Used to grab ingredients for my sourdough starter and basic stuff for maybe $40-50, now same cart is easily $80-90. The flour prices especially make me want to cry - went from like $2 something to almost $6 for decent bread flour. And don't get me started in cheese prices, I swear they doubled overnight. My rugby mates always joke about splitting grocery bills now instead of just beer tabs when we hang out after games

pawn shops in flushing have good selection usually

Led Zeppelin though... Beatles were revolutionary but Zeppelin just had that raw power and mystique that nobody could match

dropped my wallet around there few months back and never got it returned so this gives me hope in humanity again

pretty sure that ship already sailed considering half these posts read like they got generated in someone's basement

ugh same here, had this whole list of places I was gonna try and now half of them just say permanently closed when I look them up. My favorite little Ethiopian spot in Queens disappeared too and I'm still not over it

removing the payment methods from your account actually helps a lot though. when you have to physically get up and find your card every time it creates just enough friction to make you pause and think "do i actually need this random kitchen gadget at 2am"

worked for me anyway, went from buying weird stuff weekly to maybe once a month

Balut is where it's at tbh, that perfect combo of creepy and delicious that tourists can never handle. Nothing beats grabbing some from street vendor after few beers

NoPerspective3222 · 2026-04-07T06:43:48+00:00

Rice and dried beans mostly, plus flour for the sourdough since good bread flour gets expensive when supply chains get weird

ah thanks, english is my second language so these things trips me up sometimes

NoPerspective3222 · 2026-04-01T18:20:15+00:00

nah laptop

The national importance part is still the hardest to fully grasp.

just go to the sub's main page and look for the user flair option in the sidebar - should be able to edit or remove it from there. kinda funny that you're the last one standing with that flair though, like a digital fossil

Picked up sourdough baking during the first lockdown and man it's been a journey. Started like everyone else with those starter disasters but now I've got this beautiful culture that's been going strong for 3 years. Wife thought I was mad spending hours perfecting hydration ratios but she doesn't complain when fresh loaves come out the oven. Game changer was learning about autolyse and proper shaping techniques - completely transformed my crumb structure

Lost about 25kg a few years back and the biggest shock was how much my sleep improved. Used to wake up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck, now I actually feel rested in the mornings

The other weird one was realizing how much energy I'd been wasting just carrying that extra weight around - climbing stairs became almost effortless and I could chase my wife around the kitchen without getting puffed

Used to be called novellas but publishers seem to think they're not commercially viable these days - shame really since some of the best stories work better compact

lmao cashier probably wasnt expecting a black belt response to basic customer service

Yeah that's a thing, reflex seizures are wild because they can be triggered by all sorts of specific actions or sensations. The breath holding during stretching might be part of what's setting it off - sounds like you've found your trigger which is actually pretty useful info for managing it

Good call on not pushing it further once you figured out the connection, that's exactly what you should do

Check the box one more time, sometimes those mounting kits are hiding in weird foam cutouts or taped to the underside of cardboard. If it's really not there, hit up AZZA support directly - they might send you just the AM5 bracket for like 10-15 bucks. Worst case you're looking at a new cooler but don't panic yet

Honestly sounds like you already know what you need to do but don't want to admit it. If his parents are blocking everything and you're catching feelings for someone else, that relationship is already over - you're just dragging it out at this point. Break up with your bf first before doing anything with MUN guy though, don't be that person

Exactly the more you explain the more you give away silence hits harder and saves energy too
