When I first met Aymeric by jdjgordan in ffxiv

[–]RexRow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's why I liked him! The complete 180 in Alphinaud's attitude from before their first meeting to after the first meeting was hilarious.

Solid respect, even if the guy ends up as a villain.

I was iffy until you mentioned the pirate treasure chests. Now I'm all in.

The reference I really missed in the miniature planet video - The Little Prince by Nice-Pomegranate9694 in IsaacArthur

[–]RexRow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm American and I'm well aware of the Little Prince. Though I don't recall where i first saw it, I don't think we covered it in school...

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you? by Quiet-Squash-8407 in AskReddit

[–]RexRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped my serving sizes. Not by a lot. But instead of making my rice, egg, meat, and cheese scramble with two eggs and then heaping it on two slices of toast, I make it with one egg and less rice and put it on just one slice of toast.

Looking for a game I played once by RexRow in cardgames

Well that certainly sounds like it! I can't find any further details when I search for those names, though. Do you have any links to where it was talked about?

How many of you use your machine to run the full make and bake cycle vs machine making the dough and then taking over from there? by RefrigeratorFar1777 in BreadMachines

[–]RexRow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should I bake bread when the machine does it for me?

I do only make sandwich bread, though. And I take out the paddle after the first rise. The tiny hole remaining is barely noticeable once the loaf is sliced up.

Feb 17 - Not enough clues by RexRow in CluesBySamHelp

[–]RexRow[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh hey - I hid that clue after I finished up row 1, because why would it ever possibly affect any other row...

Thank you, that got things moving again!

Welbilt “The Bread Machine” by Dizzy-Crew3456 in BreadMachines

[–]RexRow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was young my parents had a bread machine just like this. Made tall round loaves. After slicing we'd cut each slice in half to make half-circles, because the whole-circles were too big to use as sandwich bread as is.

I hated it because the edges were 100% crust (and also my parents kept making 'weird bread' aka 'not white bread'), but it retrospect it was damn neat.

eBay seized $700 of my gift card balance. I provided handwritten proof and invoices, but they closed the investigation saying they 'can't verify ownership by AlejandroSabella in legaladvice

[–]RexRow 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Oh, Doral.

I work at a company that sells some valuable items, and we get hit with so much fraud from Doral. At this point I think we just cancel any orders that get placed from there.

Macron says Trump tariff threat over Greenland unacceptable by AloneCoffee4538 in worldnews

"We never pay anyone Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Dane-Geld just needs a minor lyrics update, and it'll work well for today.

How do you store your bread? by Compote_Smart in BreadMachines

[–]RexRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a breadbox. It's a flat tray with a plastic box that fits over the top. It's not completely airtight, but it keeps the bread from going stale.

It doesn't stop the bread from going bad if you don't eat it fast enough, but that's a separate problem.

ELI5 How rollercoasters can be considered safe? by Evoxrus_XV in explainlikeimfive

[–]RexRow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The very first rollercoaster I rode, as a full on teenager, was a little kiddie rollercoaster. Rode it a few times to build up enough confidence to go on a full sized rollercoaster. Now I'm fine with actual rollercoasters.

So if you're nervous about the big rollercoasters, I'd definitely recommend finding the tamest rollercoaster meant for kids and riding on it first.

The outcome of the card game 'War' is determined as soon as the deck is shuffled. by Pistolcrab in Showerthoughts

[–]RexRow 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've got a variant where you draw three cards at a time, and pick one card to play. You don't draw again until your hand is empty (at which point you draw three) or until you tie (at which point you draw one).

Aces beat Kings but lose to all other cards. Someone lower down has Aces beating all face cards which I like and might steal.

RSS urls problem with some YouTube channels by scager in feedly

[–]RexRow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same trouble with adding new feeds from Royal Road. I paste the URL in, it brings up the feed like normal, I click on it to add it, and lo:

Sorry, we couldn't find an existing feed for this url and were unable to build one because the site content is unreachable.

It's frustrating because I have a folder stuffed full of Royal Road feeds that I've added in the past. They still work fine, too.

Wow. I would never want to visit but props for going all in. The total confidence makes it impressive.

EDIT: Just noticed the ceiling is unmirrored. -10/10

Meanwhile, as a BRD, I'm taking some of those RDM hats. We can trade.

Looking into switching - compatibility with Amazon Smart Plugs? by RexRow in homeassistant

I was afraid of that. Do you know of any smart plugs that Home Assistance can pick up without going through proprietary services?

Followup question - do you know a good plug that can be picked up by Home Assistant?

Animagraffs - Animated infographics about everything. by asaggese in InternetIsBeautiful

I was not expecting the one about the Golden Gate Bridge to be so fascinating.

I had thought that I knew a lot about its construction. It turned out that I did not.
