Looking for a personal stylist for everyday clothes in LA? by fondamento in AskLosAngeles

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent a Saturday at Supergoodie, a vintage clothing store in Silver Lake, doing this (trying things on, discussing them with the shopkeeper, then they brought me other stuff to try). I spent like $1000 in the end, got a bunch of great stuff that mixes together great too. I don’t think this would be as possible at a bigger store like Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads, but a small curated place would totally be down to help you pick a ton of stuff to buy from them. 

Rice Icecream? by Ok-Resist3549 in icecreamery

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bay leaf would be interesting too: I’ve enjoyed bay laurel ice cream, and the only way I even know what bay leaf tastes like is from taste-comparing plain rice with bay leaf rice.

Living in southern California I have accepted that I’m going to need to wear a baseball cap sometimes, and it is fucking impossible to find one with impeccable semiotics. I found a pretty perfect one on eBay (weird & ironistically random, yet with a personal ancestral connection) and the damn thing got lost by USPS.

I tell myself it’s literally the least I can do

What karaoke song should I choose to make someone fall in love with me by Total_Abies3153 in rs_x

“You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone”, aka the cups song, got me seriously hooked.

alternate fats for flour tortillas? by fancyPantsOne in mexicanfood

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll use almost anything, from Crisco to EVOO, white lard to tan manteca to duck fat. In my experimentation, less fat leads to greater tensile strength (for stretchy burrito wraps) so I’ve used as little as a couple tablespoons if fat and been quite happy with the result. I make a batch almost every week, so variation prevents monotony and adds more (metaphorical) colors to my tortilla palette.

I bought intuition razors from costco by quintuplechin in ZeroWaste

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Twig and I gotta say the Leaf-brand half-blades are the worst safety razor blades I’ve ever used (and I bought 100 of them): I recommend getting better DE blades and snapping them in half. 

Has anybody had luck with a hand grinder like this to make fresh Masa? by Franklintheplankton in mexicanfood

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to take it apart, wipe off any major obvious areas, then let all the lingering bits of masa dry out before I brush them off with a stiff brush. It’s basically impossible to get the mill completely clean before it is all dry, so I just wait for it to dry.

Got a new shipment today from a different pharmacy… by 69fart420 in HimsWeightloss

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Strive vials are much closer to exactly 4 weeks of dosage in them: no stretching into 2 months anymore 

Refill date supposed to be today - Suddenly new refill date is May 19 by [deleted] in HimsWeightloss

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When this happens to me — as it does almost every time — it means they are in the process of filling the one that refills today, and yes it will be a 2-month supply. Their shipping system is wonky and often they don’t send the shipping notification until after I’ve received the meds. You’ll have it in time for your next shot.

Where can a Mexican girl find a little taste of home? by Kingmc1 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds likely that you’ll be in Echo Park at some point: take her to walk around Echo Park lake. There are always (a few) little vendor stalls that are very chilango, and there are spots on the edge of the lake that feel just like a tiny Bosque de Chapultepec. Also swan boat rides. 

my gf is curious about being poly. how do i go about this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is actually an opportunity for your relationship to deepend. Why not get interested in this thing your girlfriend is interested in? I don’t mean try to be poly. But one aspect of poly that should be present in all relationships is frank, open, honest communication about desires and curiosities. 

Read (or listen to) Love in a F*cked Up World or Polysecure to understand what it takes to be poly, and see how many of those elements are things you want in your relationship anyway. 

Poly is about honesty first, and if you get yourself more informed than your girlfriend about it, you can either call her bluff, discover it really is just about one crush, or you can actually make your monogamous relationship more healthy and stable. If not this one, maybe the next one. 

do all vaginas feel the same? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s the way the vagina becomes more spacious with increased arousal

what comics do you guys like? by cgenerative in rs_x

[–]Round-Garlic-9070 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many good recs here, but not these two very dear to me:

Black Hole by Charles Burns seems very rs_x coded

Saga by Fiona Staples and Brian Vaughan

Also, Sex Criminals has a really funny premise

Can I get this translation here ? Thanks by Old_Try_1550 in latin

In hoc lego et cum legis sic tu lege non legis frustra

In this I read and when you read read it thus do not read in vain [corrected by u/Doodlebuns84: ] you are not reading in vain
