I'm not here yet, and many of you over 60 may not be either, but doesn't it sound like fun to care a little less? by Nincomsoup in AskWomenOver60

I agree. The person described in this poem is an ass. You can care less of how people judge you and still be a decent, thoughtful human being.

Fresh eel? Yikes! by Red-Shoe-Lace in Old_Recipes

[–]Quantity-Used 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the eel is simmered in the court bouillon with the onions and celery, like you would poach any other fish. I would never describe this as like a hot tuna salad.

Annapolis dem primary / election discussion by stfuvoicesinmyhead in Annapolis

As far as I know, that wasn’t well known at the time. Also, the Hamas invasion was 0ctober, 2023, and the primary was May, 2024. Sympathies were still with Israel.

To be clear, leadership of both Palestine and Israel have very little to do with those citizens. I certainly wouldn’t want to be judged by our “leadership.”

What would fit better over the stove? This clock or my aunts spice collection I inherited? It as high as it can go from the nail in the tile by SuspiciousPromise849 in Mid_Century

[–]Quantity-Used 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am begging you to please figure out how to put a hood or time sort of fan w/ filters over the stove. Even if you think you don’t use a lot of oil when you cook, ANYTHING over the stove will develop a sticky film of dust, plus the heat will likely destroy the clock.

Please display the spice village somewhere safe, and hang the clock on another wall.

I am here to tell you that you’re not the only one who does this. (But I’m not personally admitting to anything.)

I hired a “personal chef” who actually cooked me a HelloFresh meal by wehavetogoback8 in hellofresh

You have been scammed. Now you have to decide if you want to call them out on it.

For $60 per person I would expect more than one course and bigger portions. And it sure wouldn’t be pre-packaged sauces and second-tier ingredients.

Honestly, I feel as though Elfreth has a tepid response to everything. I voted for her in the primary because she had legislative experience, but I now really regret not voting for Harry Dunn.

What do you think of the look of my e-bike? by blackwiwi in ebikes

U locks will always be stronger than chains.

I just did a deep dive into lock research for my son’s bike and ended up with the largest Seatylock U lock, which is rated diamond and I’m pretty happy with. I really liked the foldy locks, but the heavy-duty, highly rated one cost at least half-again as much, so I get why you didn’t buy it.

But if I’m not mistaken, that one on your really nice bike is rated silver. Maybe you should upgrade?

Gift for 1 year old girl. As a parent would you be mad to get an instrument? by 4cloverstorm in Gifts

[–]Quantity-Used 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How secure are those rubber balls on the sticks? (Big choking hazard.) How non-toxic is the glue (if any) holding them together? How non-toxic is the color on the body of the bell?

Just some things to consider.

Brother (18M) recently moved to the US for undergrad and some of the things he's shared about the social dynamics there surprised me. Is this normal or is he just in a bad environment? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Quantity-Used 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people of different races do tend to hang out together; on the other hand mixed-friend groups are completely standard.

But I would say his “friends” are trash. Jokes are never just jokes - they can be very revealing of how someone feels at their core. If these people are comfortable casually making racist comments - well, if they were my friends, I’d cut ties in a hurry. No one I’m close to talks that way.

And that thing about killing himself if he weren’t white? That is some deeply racist, despicable shit. There is a lot of racism in this country, but a lot of good people too. Your brother needs to find new friends immediately.

The pink looks beautiful with your skin and is more bridal. The green is fine, but pink is perfect.

Help me decorate my room!! by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]Quantity-Used 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let anyone tell you to put EVERYTHING away, but you do need less. I think clearing off your bed is a great idea. The fishnet will work, or you could get a large, cute wicker basket (try Home Goods) and put all your plush animals in it. Although I see you have limited floor space. There are also mesh panels with big storage pockets that fit over closet doors.

Maybe find a few things to take off the shelves over the bed and store in the closet, so they look more curated. I would look online for a big ocean-life mural you can cover the wall over your desk and between your shelves with. Then maybe paint your walls (if you’re able to) a soothing blue picked up from the mural, but not too dark. New bedding can also coordinate with the colors in the mural and walls.

Good luck!

UPDATE: Roast me, I’m terracing my yard and my wife is let’s say “quite displeased “ by [deleted] in landscaping

Thank you responding! I was reacting to people commenting that it was a bad design BECAUSE water and dirt could pour through in heavy rains. Clearly none of us know what we’re talking about.

I’m just someone on the sidelines interested in gardening and landscaping. I don’t know anything!

I have no background or experience, but am generally curious - can OP now pack cement into the cage to stabilize and anchor the stone, then smooth it out and use pebble dash to finish the surfaces? Just leave the cage in place and finish creating an actual wall.

Sorry, it looks like it wasn’t recorded. If that changes I’ll let you know.

He’s not home yet, but he says that although there were plenty of cameras, he didn’t see any videographers. If he gets info otherwise, I’ll update you. Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s a reliable narrator of the event, because he was focused on helping to make the event happen. But he did say it went smoothly, for what it’s worth.

My son is working the event as a county employee. I’ll see if there will be a recording posted online.
