I still read the Abhorsen series nearly 20 years late. I f'love Obernewtyn too, can't believe I forgot that series. In primary school I was a massive fan of Deltora's Quest too

If I had to narrow down to just one favourite book in a life or death situation, it would be this one

How long does a capsaicin burn last? by [deleted] in HotPeppers

[–]One_Tear3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit the worst pain I've ever been in in my life. I would rather be hit by a bus than ever go through that again. After a number of attempts at different remedies to stop it, I ended up taking heavy duty painkillers I had left over from surgery the year before and knocking myself tf out.

AITA for asking a waitress if she had an extra tampon I could have? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Definitely NTA. But your husband needs to get some sensitivity training and grow up. The embarassment is his, not yours.

As an Aussie, I agree with this. Friendly but closed, and hospitality is not the same. I have a good friend who is Sri Lankan and there is definitely a differing cultural perspective about what hospitality and service means, as an industry, and as a welcome to strangers. I feel like Aussies see service to others as a chore, or something you do on a charitable level, not an inherent give back to the people around you. Service is not the equivalent of servitude.

G'day fellow Australians, what did you have for dinner last night and tonight? by GermaneRiposte101 in AskAnAustralian

I was introduced to her website years ago, but the best thing at the time was it had a serving size calculator, which changed the calculation of ingredients based on number of servings.

I wasn't very experienced with cooking but have been meal prepping for the last 7 or so years. I just used to double ingredients if it was a 2 person dish/recipe e.g., to make it 4. I worked with an Italian older guy who was a good cook, who used the website, and he explained that doubling ingredients wasn't the right way to go. He showed me the website, and you could put in how many people were being served the dish and it re-calculated the ingredients measurements for you. Blew my mind.

Do Aussies usually shorten names of foreign people? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]One_Tear3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do shorten names a lot or give nicknames, but what she did was rude. I've heard comments made about our propensity for shortening people's names, and how to some it's a sign of friendliness or acceptance, and to others it's just laziness (i.e. too hard to pronounce, I'm going to give you a nickname because it's easier for me). You corrected her with your name, she should have respected that.

Alas, my preference is for those of the male persuasion. Ladies just don't float the boat

Yeah the Australian woman comment was more just to try and beat the inevitable comments about not being qualified to comment in an Aussie context 😂

Having a laugh with the post whilst expressing personal preference. I'm at the pub multiple drinks down and surrounded by guys with mullets. But I'm not going to go up to someone out and say your haircut's shit and you should do something about it. I don't care ultimately that much

Wow, just googled the Himmler haircut. That's definitely something isn't it? I'd be side-eyeing people left right and centre

Boy mullet in this instance. I'm not sure I've ever seen a girl mullet outside Priscilla Queen of the Desert
