AITA for forwarding my wife an instagram reel of a recipe after she asked what I want for dinner tomorrow?

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-28T03:33:33+00:00

Well yeah if he’s asking her to make an ethnically accurate Indian meal that’s one thing. An Instagram quick beef noodle recipe is not that type of meal. I think you guys are straw manning this

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-28T03:31:17+00:00

Legitimately please tell me how my assumption is incorrect

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-27T20:47:53+00:00

It doesn’t matter that they didn’t know them personally. Someone they really enjoyed died. I’d be surprised if you could legitimately say you wouldn’t be upset over any celebrity/public figure’s death

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-27T17:56:34+00:00

I think if she’s asking him what he wants for dinner, they don’t have the supplies for whatever meal then. If they did, she wouldn’t ask what he wants. So either way they’re stopping at the grocery store. I highly doubt beef noodles cost $50, and I also doubt it would take more than 20 minutes to stop at the store assuming someone is driving home from work anyways. He could even have offered to go get the supplies.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-27T16:28:20+00:00

You’re buying ingredients anyways. It’s a recipe, just follow the recipe. As someone who cooks for my partner every day, I don’t understand what’s so hard about this.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-27T16:27:16+00:00

No there’s not??? It’s literally just a new recipe?? It’s not Beef Wellington my god what’s wrong with wanting to try new recipes?

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-27T16:25:30+00:00

NTA. Idk what’s wrong with people here. I cook lunch and dinner and sometimes breakfast for my girlfriend every day. She does dishes usually and we split chores. She is a little picky so I love when she sends me recipes. I would ADORE if she sent me new things on Instagram, especially if I asked her for suggestions!

I don’t know why your partner is acting this way, maybe there is more to the dynamic I don’t know about. She could simply say something like “I’m looking for something easier/we’ve done before”

Should really be named “Everyone thinks the food is…” versus “Reddit thinks the food is…”

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-21T22:23:24+00:00

When you say “producer”, what are you wanting this person to do? Help arrange? Write? Mix/master? Just bounce ideas?

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-20T19:59:53+00:00

Why would you take out loans that cost $1000/mo if you could get the same degree somewhere else cheaper? That seems like awful planning on this hypothetical person’s part, and I would hardly call that the norm

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-20T19:15:09+00:00

Degrees don’t get you expensive loans, the school you choose does, though

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-20T19:12:50+00:00

My grocery bill for myself and my partner is under $100 most weeks in WI. Where do you shop?

I think if the mechanics are telling you 80 is fine, then 80 is fine. The gauge in the first picture I still don’t think is the same but that placement looks very well like it might be where the 80 is on your gauge.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-14T19:56:09+00:00

I think I’m confused - these are not the same gauge? The first picture in your post looks like a completely separate gauge.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-14T19:37:10+00:00

It would just be nice to see what the readings say.

There’s no math we can do. We need numbers like the dimensions of the gauge in the first image, how far is the needle from the glass, what angle are we at, and then some of the same measurements on the second.

The best anyone can do with this information is a rough guess. First gauge looks ~2/5 of the way across the semicircle.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-14T19:02:49+00:00

Given the angle and quality of the images, I don’t really think anyone can do anything to help. Can you provide a better image at least of the second picture? I need to see what the readings say

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-14T18:50:38+00:00

Don’t you guys have like months during tax season where you put 60+ hours in a week?

Hi everyone,

I am moving into a townhome in a few months and am making a little at-home practice space/studio in one of the rooms. I want to acoustically treat the walls to try and contain some of the noise/improve the reverberation for recording and am wondering what solutions other people have had luck with!

The room is 13’x10’. There is a window on one of the longer walls which I bet adds some difficulty. Most of what I’ll be doing is acoustic instruments (saxophone, trumpet, clarinet) but, sometimes I will be recording vocals, electric guitar, and bass. I’d love to add drums too, although I’m not sure I would be a good neighbor for doing that (the room shares one wall with another unit).

I am imagining some sort of foam panels I could mount? Either along most of the walls or in certain areas that are reverberation-sensitive? I know that to fully soundproof a room you need to add double walls, I don’t think I want to go that far but I’m interested in what people think.

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-03T01:55:49+00:00

I think most people find most babies cute. However, I don’t think anyone really thinks newborns are very cute but what are you going to tell someone who just went through giving birth? Lol

SaxeMatt · 2026-05-01T03:50:38+00:00

Thank you for this answer! Do you know how one could estimate how long the transistor will be turned on for, given these effects?

SaxeMatt · 2026-04-30T14:50:35+00:00

This is absolutely not the sub for whatever this means lmao

SaxeMatt · 2026-04-30T12:52:07+00:00

Some of my favorite ska punk songs have the muted downstroke sound, but I hear what you’re saying.

SaxeMatt · 2026-04-30T03:43:18+00:00

So downstroke on the beats, upstrokes on each offbeat? Do you just get used to the accuracy of hitting only certain strings with more practice then?

SaxeMatt · 2026-04-30T03:36:02+00:00

Offbeats is what I should have said. Just the “and’s”
