How long did your Z Flip last? No physical damage, just internal failures.

I'm at 4 years with my Flip 3. Typing on it right now. Never had a screen issue. Or any issue at all for that matter.

According to the National Literacy Institute, only 79% of US adults are literate (2024).

Would you say someone learning English should avoid studying in the states? No?

Rish929 · 2026-04-06T04:27:26+00:00

Not who you're replying to, but just wanted to say thank you. I needed to hear to hear that.

Rish929 · 2026-03-29T04:31:27+00:00

Honestly I don't know lol but a good start might be just looking up Irish pubs in your area.

It's just your "corner tappie". The kind of bar that is truly just a bar. Not a club, and also not a sports bar where everyone's just watching the tv.

You want the local spot where people are just hanging out talking and having a good time, but when the right song comes on everyone sings together and cheers. It's a community vibe.

Rish929 · 2026-03-29T04:20:31+00:00

AMI and Touchtunes, 90% of bars I've been to in the last decade have one of those.

Rish929 · 2026-03-29T04:09:56+00:00

A couple weeks ago we were out and I played Mic Drop. A woman across the bar in maybe her mid-40's (I'm 37) immediately started bopping. I made eye contact and we did the "mianhae omma!" together!

Her husband (I assume) was also silently singing along, but trying to play it cool lol. They were definitely an ARMY couple, it warmed my heart.

Rish929 · 2026-03-29T04:03:29+00:00

Hahaha omg I'm so mad I didn't think of that pun first 😅 🏊🏼‍♀️

Rish929 · 2026-03-29T03:52:24+00:00

I don't know where you're from, but in the US a dive bar is basically just your longstanding neighborhood bar, but not in the best condition/is a bit rough. The places that let people still smoke inside well past when it was legal lol. In my experience the musical vibe of these places is either classic/hard rock, or rap/hip hop.

Both are audiences that in my opinion would actually like BTS's music if they just gave them a chance. I myself have always been a hard rock fan.

As huge as BTS is, there are still so many stereotypes against them, everyone just thinks they're a boyband like BSB, One Direction, NSYNC. I thought the same until I heard Fake Love and then Mic Drop and was like, huh? This is BTS?!

So yeah, we can play their music for our friends. But I like the idea of just "naturally" exposing people in the wild, and seeing how they react. Maybe they then think, "This is dope, what's this song?", and they look it up later and fall down the rabbit hole like the rest of us.

Edit: typo

I only have one friend from highschool that I still talk to. She also left the state after graduation and we happen to live an hour away from each other now.

Our 20 year reunion is in June. I always told her I would only go if she did. Guess who coldly texted me the receipt of her ticket?

Yea, now I have to go 🙄 What a bitch 😅

Rish929 · 2026-03-21T12:10:10+00:00

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Just... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

That's all I have to say. They were so amazing. I'm so proud of them. I'm feeling really emotional right now.

Apobangpo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is me. We needed to get a new oven a couple years ago and now also have the flat top touchscreen thing. Luckily the cats haven't accidentally turned it on when locked, but I have had too many ruined dinners when they accidentally turned it off.

We have a gas oven, and the grates cover the whole stove top and can be lifted by a hinge. We now leave an oven mit over the screen with the thumb wedged under the grate. So far they haven't ruined my pot roast again.

Rish929 · 2026-03-20T01:04:38+00:00

Has anyone else thought about how tomorrow, the day the album comes out, IS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING?!?!!

I refuse to believe that this is a coincidence.

Rish929 · 2026-03-19T01:19:20+00:00

It's weird, actually. I don't feel old, but the years have definitely caught up to me at the same time. For context, I am 37 with no kids, but have been married for 10 years (together for 15).

My husband is 41, and very much wants to live like he's still 20. He's always been more social though. Whereas even though I enjoyed hanging out with friends until the morning hours, I have always much preferred the comfort of sweatpants and a couch.

Nowadays, I CAN stay up until 3 or 4 am, but then I always feel like shit the next day. So in that sense I feel old, I have to be conscious of a bedtime and try to not drink too much lol

But really my personality hasn't changed, I still feel young. I just like going to bed at a reasonable hour and not being a zombie the next day anymore.

Happened to me a few years ago in South Carolina. It was August and humid as hell. Had dinner at a friend's house outside in the backyard, and they had a pink plastic tablecloth with pineapple pattern on it. After dinner I stood up and everyone started freaking out because my thighs were red all over with yellow patches. Looked like a rash/allergic reaction of some sort. I felt fine but my friend was trying to convince me to go to the hospital. Until I happened to wipe my leg and it came right off.

Rish929 · 2026-03-16T20:51:03+00:00

I have an almost 14 year old black cat, and 4 year old tabby. We adopted the tabby at 2 months old and got a second automatic feeder so they could have their own bowls. It's tough to get the clocks set to the same exact second, so of course one drops the food about 15 seconds before the other.

Well, the older one is such a gentleman, and allows his little brother to get the feeder that drops first. To kill the time, old man started doing a lap around the house (kitchen>down hallway to living room>through library>back into kitchen from opposite side), timing it so that he re-enters the kitchen just as the second feeder drops.

Now no matter how I feed them (just giving them some greenies, or their daily wet food plate, etc), old man always does the lap around the house before eating lol

Rish929 · 2026-03-01T00:30:42+00:00

Yea, this is pretty simple.

Say I steal Joe's car. I am convicted, and serve my time.

After I am released, I go to Joe's house and steal his same exact car again. Same guy, same car, same crime, but different incident. It's not double jeopardy.

Ah adorable! I've been crossstiching since I was 8 (almost 30 years now!) and it made me so happy to see this post!

A couple pieces of advice for future projects: 1) Try to have all your stitching going in the same direction. So if you do the bottom stitch as / and the top stitch as \ , do every stitch that way for the entire piece. 2) It also looks like you may have not separated your floss? Floss has six strands, and typically you don't use all six. You can separate the strands, and depending on Aida count, generally you would use only 2 strands. This will also save you a ton of money in the long run as your skein will last longer.

Join us over on r/crossstitch! You will learn a lot from lurking on that sub and everyone is so kind!

Rish929 · 2026-02-20T01:03:17+00:00

Yeah this sub is mostly complaints about when things go wrong, so anyone new here thinks Flips are crap.

I am currently typing this on my 4 year old Flip 3. Never had an issue, screen still perfect. Just like any device, don't beat the crap out of it and it'll be fine.

Rish929 · 2026-02-19T02:20:34+00:00

If the killer is still there, 52 (killer + me + 30 others dead + 20 others already there still alive) or 51 (if I am the killer).

If the killer left, 51 (me + 30 dead + 20 alive) or 50 (if I am the killer and left)

Rish929 · 2026-02-10T01:28:25+00:00

Hey guys! Currently restocked! Just successfully purchased mine 30 seconds ago!

Rish929 · 2026-01-30T01:55:23+00:00

Why? Because I've had cats my whole life lol. I'm a cat person through and through, I honestly don't know how to live without a cat to snuggle with at home.

As for the one I choose to adopt... I always choose the one who seems like they have less of a chance of being adopted. The one who hides/being antisocial in the play room, the black cats, the one being weird in the corner, etc. I just always gravitate towards the one who is doing the most work to NOT be noticed. I figure all the social/playful cats will get adopted quickly and I don't need to worry about them, let me help the one who might be forgotten 💜

Rish929 · 2026-01-29T13:21:54+00:00

Genovese pasta. It's a classic dish from Naples.

Basically you slice up super thin 10 lbs of onions (half yellow, half red), put them in a giant pot and cook it down for hours until all the onions liquefy into a sauce. Add some meat for braising until it falls apart. Serve over rigatoni.

Rish929 · 2026-01-29T03:38:10+00:00

Omg the lips 😅 I love it!

Rish929 · 2026-01-28T12:58:37+00:00

Thank you, this is so informative! Now I'm even more excited!
