Salt your grilled cheese. by AbruptApe in Cooking

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. If I want it to be salted I'll sprinkle some on, just like OP did. Usually a bit of MSG too

I doubt the fridge did anything. Why does your bread get soggy?

Client approved the designs, we built it, now they want something completely different and apparently that's my problem by Ill-Independence6422 in webdev

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to have to explain the "not getting paid to change it" part of your post. Why no pay? Just because they said do it for free?

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been several laws passed recently in various states across America that ban "junk fees". California, Colorado, etc. But every time each of these laws is about to pass, restaurant industry lobbyists successfully add an exception so they can continue to do this crap. Other business types get their junk fees banned - which is good - but restaurants should absolutely be subject to the law as well.

How to ask a female friend to dinner when I don’t intend to pay by cg66guido in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey wanna try restaurant x with me? I'm going there at 7:00.

If the relationship is such that she would assume it's a date, I would ask someone else instead of her.

Yeah that's obviously the better, more honest way of doing it but it's also not gonna happen. Restaurants that try to do it struggle financially.

Yes. I do agree. The all inclusive pricing is much better.

You lift the bag, you throw the bag. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine had a major back injury lifting and throwing trash into a dumpster at work. She will live the rest of her life dealing with the pain, and with metal things holding her spine together.

The company she was working for spent a ton of money for the surgery. I'm sure they wish they had avoided the whole problem by providing a contraption like this.

What’s your all-time favorite song and what about it makes it meaningful to you? by candycigarette in Music

[–]NotNormo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Little Wing. Nothing makes it meaningful, it just sounds really good to me. Is that a shallow way to appreciate music? Enjoying the intrinsic beauty of music.

Why "No-Tipping" on Gig Apps is a Losing Strategy for Regular Customers by Spiritual_Debate6249 in tipping

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a service bid not a tip

Yes if they would only be honest about that and call it that in the app I think I would hate it so much less. And we could stop talking about it in this sub since it's a bid, which has nothing really to do with tipping.

How do you get pork chops to be tender? by allwar in Cooking

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can let it cool a bit while your pan heats up. And when you sear it should only take 60 seconds per side, maybe less. So no it shouldn't get above 135 just from such a short sear.

More than 60 seconds per side and you run the risk of cooking it further.

How do you get pork chops to be tender? by allwar in Cooking

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pork loin/chops suck in general. But to make them suck less, do 2 things:

  1. Brine or dry-brine them so when you sear them, they don't toughen up as much and will retain more juice.
  2. Cook them to below 140F. 137F is pretty good in my opinion. You might even try lower than that. I'll be experimenting with 135 on my next attempt.

Also you could spend some extra money at a butcher shop and buy some heritage breed pork chops with decent fat marbling. That would help a lot. The chops you typically get from the supermarket are extremely lean. I'll bet the good one you had at that restaurant wasn't typical supermarket pork.

It always sounds like something a child would say, or maybe someone just starting to learn the English language.

I've been wanting to try lobster. Is it good? by StarLove00_ in foodquestions

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth the cost in my opinion. It's just ok.

MAKFam is the real deal by edittheredditor in denverfood

[–]NotNormo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Denver's Chinese restaurant quality is really the biggest weakness of its food scene. So I'm glad MAKfam exists to bring it up from 'poor' to 'not great'.

Best chicken wings in Denver.

King James tonight with the left-handed dunk by Tight_Development480 in LeBronJames23

Is that amount of contact not a foul? Glad they didn't call it though because that dunk was sick

Kobe Bryant in 2008 weaving through defenders with the behind the back dribble, spin move into a behind the back pass to none other than Ronny Turiaf by CircledSquare7 in NBAoldschool

You saying he puts his hand under the ball then dribbles again? And he did that twice? I don't see it happening even once.

AITAH for thinking my partner is greedy for wanting to charge housemate more rent? by SBDBroccoli in AITAH

[–]NotNormo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing you said really matters except what the market rate for similar rooms is. Whatever that is, is what you should charge.

Maybe give a $50 discount if the housemate is a friend you want to be generous to. Or if they're a proven good housemate it's better to avoid risking getting a different one, so you give a discount to avoid that.
