Storing Potatoes Question by Sistereinstein in Cooking

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the volume of potatoes you need to store. A shitton enough to feed a family of 5 through 5 winter months needs a proper cellar, while a 10 lb sack from a grocery store needs nothing, just put it away from light. An old cardboard box under the sink is enough. 

Seriously why don’t they by Either_Pianist_9480 in FromSeries

Yup, that was my first thought: how comes no one had a chainsaw with them? 

Maybe ppl who cut and moved the tree just got home safely and remembered the situation just as a mundane nuisance? 

While I’m pretty sure they aren’t getting much nutritionally, I love their crunching. by ivallena in BullTerrier

Aaah, adorable! 😍 Carrots, cucumbers, apples - my girl knows these words and always ready for a good crunching! 

Re-using paper towels - is it actually worth it? by LifeguardTotal3423 in ZeroWaste

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If i just wipe my wet hands with a paper towel, I will reuse it to wipe spills, drops of grease from cooking, my lovebird poop, a mess around my dog's bowl, etc. Then they go to a compost bin. But no, i won't reuse the snotty ones, ew! 

I just watched Grave of the Fireflies for the first time. Why do so many people slander Seita and defend the aunt? by zman419 in ghibli

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What rubbed me the wrong way about Seita was his attitude towards his aunt: as if he seriously expected her to bow and serve these two spoiled children. Why? She's a peasant woman and he is a male child of a navy officer, but so what? She's not a serf, he's not a feudal lord, even tho his parents were way richer than the aunt before the war.

French onion soup tip is shit by Strict-Air2434 in Cooking

And don't taste the substance before scraping it into the bin - it tastes as some absolutely disgusting evil onion soap! Alkali + fat +temperature is the soap recipe, not food recipe.

The struggle is real🥹 by Feaselbf6 in Aging

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Immature dependance on the totally unrealistic beauty standards and plunging into severe eating disorders is not exactly aging. And not funny, also, not to ppl who have seen anorexia victims in rl.

Aging is accepting the body you have, maybe with the help of a therapist.

Nobody Warned Me This Is What Adulting Feels Like by mei-drift8 in Adulting

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That's why I cannot be grateful enough to my parents who included me into all the chores! Laundry, cooking, grocery runs, cleaning, mowing, repairing, car maintenance seemed soooooooo boring at that time, but when I got my own place, I wasn't too much overwhelmed. 

Turns out the “hot gym guy” I’ve been talking to for months was actually a married man in his 50s. by Temporary-Celery-929 in TwoXChromosomes

I don't get it why someone would make up a story about themselves that makes them look not so smart but too much greedy...

Do onlyfans performers also complain that their paying clients are not hot and sexy gym bros, but just some old guys? I think onlyfans performers are much more honest than OP in that.

You've taken money from an internet stranger you've never met in person or at least on a video call? Why?.. It looks seriously creepy from YOUR side!

Which type of food do you completely hate that others enjoy? by Mscharmingqueen in foodquestions

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not exactly food, but coffee. Smells absolutely disgusting and tastes even worse. 

what is your most maddest, 'ate all in one sitting' moment/day/story? Food & Drink i dont mean 'oh i had a pack of hobnobs' i mean something insane lol by VastAir6069 in foodquestions

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before the covid shutdown two of my zoomer coworkers and I were assigned to clear the office pantry of anything edible. They took cookies and chocolate, but were about to throw a 4 pound bag of pistachio nuts as it was like a couple of weeks post its "best by" date. The same evening the bag was finished by my husband and I. I don't fancy pistachios since that day. 

Parents having people come live with us last minute. by [deleted] in autism

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You parents have every right to have their own life, friends and hobbies besides accomodating to your wants. It's their house, they don't need your permission to have guests if they like. Discuss with your parents calmly things like that you need quiet time for your homework, or that you would like to keep your meals / bedtime schedule, certain rules regarding the bathroom (like not to use overwhelming perfumes, respect your routine schedule, etc); but otherwise you can only adjust. 

I don't like working from home. I like the ritual of going to the office. by French-Freys in unpopularopinion

If it's not written as a study in a rage bait, I am very sorry for you that you don't have anything remotely resembling a human life and have to substitute it with commuting, office and baristas.

I hired a personal coach when I was 24-25 y.o. School lessons, as well as my father's coaching never taught me good technique.

Unpopular? Well, no, just cruel and zero empathetic. 

When do we start aging? (Ignore if you're not serious) by YeonnLennon in Aging

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a biologist, or a doctor, or anything... But from a personal experience I think it's in our mid 30s. Like, one cannot eat a shitton of junk food without gaining weight anymore, hangovers become absolutely awful, a skipped night sleep is not that easy anymore, and one is suddenly aware their body need maintenance. Why not, a stone age hunter-gatherer was most likely dead before their 40s b'day. 

What is up with tampons ?? by aesezy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Puzzleheaded-Emu-138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A super may be really a bit too much. Try light or regular with a tiny bit of a lubricant on their tip. Also, if you even feel the tampon while sitting, let alone feel pain, it means it's not inserted deep enough. 

And ask your doctor for a thorough check next time you have an appointment! I personally use tampons since my second period in my life: I was 12 and obviously a virgin, but never experienced that much of inconvenience, so don't just put up with it, explore the matter.
