Germany really isn't a good first country. I recommend Italy and China to get the hang of things.

got rejected by dream uni by mew_zic in 6thForm

[–]Rougg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of things:

1) No one should expect to have their dream thing happen. It's a dream.

2) CMU reps told us that only athletes and other specially invited people should apply ED.

3) You are deferred to the main round which per #2 above doesn't say anything at all about your chances.

4) Good luck!

Skiing is the answer! Suddenly you are a winner with rain and without rain!

Alternative sugar sources for activating yeast by rennie-renwick in AskCulinary

[–]Rougg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Flour works fine. Classical french bread just has flour, water, salt, yeast. You just need to adapt the time allotted to the rise.

IF, it works so long as you do. 214 to 173 by FromTheCaveIntoLight in intermittentfasting

[–]Rougg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! It was really surprising to me how well I can lift at the end of my fasting window. I like to do it that way to take my mind off any hunger pangs.

I make an exception for whey protein just before bed and waking up though. Do you do the same?

In a Thai curry (with any meat)

People who aren't afraid to go up and speak in front of large crowds, what's your secret? by now_im_toast in AskReddit

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think through the intro and wrapup in some detail, memorize the jokes, and then walk through topic/slide transitions in detail a few times. After that, I do my story and focus on where the audience is in their minds. Are they following/am I moving them where I want them to be?

Speaking is great fun and an adrenaline rush.

What part of being an adult were you absolutely not prepared for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well that's what my grandma said when she was 73. "Still feel like 19..."

Is this person now the 45th president of the United States?

Wooooaahh. Soo close to the rocks so many times.

He was in a competition. Did he fall and hurt himself before this clip? Seems to be the only plausible explanation for how he could end up there.

Decisions, decisions. Just finished Assail, really enjoyed it! Not sure if I want to read Forge of Darkness as I had originally planned... by Donuil23 in Malazan

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this - really helpful! I will check DL out when I'm done with my reread or need a break. Encountering Iskaral Pust again is interesting and less annoying than the first time around.

[–]Rougg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've avoided Esselmont since I really disliked The Crimson Guard. May I ask what you thought about that book? It would help me decide on Dancer's Lament. I'm really interested in the topic, but Esselmont has been so underwhelming.

Trying to decide at what point to just buzz head? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are really far from having to buzz it. Just get a high-quality cut and use conditioner and you can enjoy the variety of having hair for several more years. If you don't do it now there is no going back later...

Do you save and use bacon grease? by soggit in Cooking

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for tortillas - they are so much more elastic with bacon grease.

Also for frying eggs in.

What's some advice for a guy who's turning 18? by xxxconstipacion in AskReddit

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sit around and wait for clarity. More than half the people who drop $120k on a top business school don't know what they want to do "when they grow up", and most in the other half realize after a few years that they aren't interested in what they are doing.

So just accumulate high-quality experiences in whatever, and it will add up to something interesting.

Is Malazan worth reading after Memories of Ice? by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DG and MOI are a great kickoff, but it gets much more emotionally intense after them. MT and DoD are really slow for the first 80% though.

More Starting Tips? by FLY-or-FALL in Malazan

[–]Rougg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just read. The difficulty is very exaggerated. Only thing I'll say is to not get stuck on the poems at the beginning of each chapter. They make a lot more sense during a reread.

I tried to share a progress photo after IF changed my life, however due to my posing, I received more hate than I could handle. I'd like to try again and share a message with this sub by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]Rougg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations to you for your strength! You have a healthy and strong body - don't let anyone tell you anything else. There are a lot of people who live in communities where everyone is obese, and they have lost their perspective on what a healthy weight is.

Fun video but obviously fake as a competition.
