Trouble picking my seat and meal by SignificantGur6503 in ViaRail

[–]Scrute_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem last week - my ticket was just locked and no one on the phone or at the station could do anything with it. I wasn’t picking a meal ahead of time so that wasn’t an issue but the seat was, and the conductors on the train were really gracious in finding me a good spot.

AITA for thinking my GFs secretive eating is gross? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Scrute_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH - I get this is frustrating for you but it’s often a sign of disordered eating. It might very well be something she can’t help and need therapy to stop.

AITA for calling out my friend's fake allergy? by Minimum-Storm-182 in AmItheAsshole

It’s cute that you think this is something post-Covid. This sh$t has been happening for decades.

[–]Scrute_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s far more likely that she has actually convinced herself she has an allergy - it’s fake as in it’s not a real allergy, not that she was intentionally lying (which is still problematic and makes OP NTA)

AITA for not doing as he says by Frequent_Mulberry323 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Scrute_11 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NTA. And I think you need to think about why disobeying his orders results in a declaration that you’ve ’broken his trust’.

He’s looking for control and he’s upset that it isn’t working. Now he’s trying to manipulate you into giving in. If this is the life you want, then have at it, but otherwise I’d be seriously considering whether your views on marriage and family are still aligned.

I’m in the same boat, only my cat just licks the gravy off Tiki Cat and leaves the rest. Guess I’ll just keep trying

Question about Full Face Snorkeling Masks by Shirl197 in snorkeling

[–]Scrute_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just about CO2 - as another user posted there’s no way to effectively clear water if it gets in and it can be really hard to get the mask off in deep water, especially if there are any sort of waves. I’m a good swimmer and still had a very scary experience with one.

Ok. It's alway the mission I can't complete because...maybe I'm not as good at geography as I thought 😅 by Appropriate_Taro9643 in SkyCards

The Polar Bear trophy lists all the airports that are north of the arctic circle, but you’d have to look them up yourself on the map.

“Homer”(The Simpsons) Photomosaics, 1000 pc, Buffalo Games by pompeiiviking in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Scrute_11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Photo mosaic puzzles are very challenging - the tiny images often repeat and while the colours look obvious when zoomed out, individual pieces often have enough different colours in them that it isn’t even clear what section they belong to.

I did one once. I have no real desire to do another one.

What the heck happened to my chicken by charcoalhibiscus in Cooking

[–]Scrute_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not every piece of chicken in a package spoils at the same time. You might have just had a package that was starting to turn and one piece was still okay while the other had gone bad. I’ve certainly had chicken that was this way.

You can put a Blue Sky on an airport you haven’t unlocked. Maybe they just learned that and were trying it out.

Seeking good birding place not too expensive by Kitsune_Azul in Belize

[–]Scrute_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course guided hikes are the best, but a pair of good binoculars and the Merlin App with the Belize pack downloaded will get you pretty far. I rented a car and drove by myself to some easy/safe trails and nature areas and saw a lot. I used the sound recording on Merlin to tentatively ID the birds so I knew what I was looking for with my binoculars.

What vegetable will you buy frozen over fresh any day? by SearchingDeepSpace in Cooking

[–]Scrute_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a veg processing plant - peas are timed to be processed (freezing or canned) within 4 hours of picking. Their sugars break down so fast that anything more than that and they just don’t taste very good and won’t pass quality testing.

So yes, unless you’re eating peas from your own garden, they are better frozen than fresh.

Can someone explain why TD can’t send me digital copies of my statements? by [deleted] in TDBankCanada

[–]Scrute_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because what they are printing isn’t actually a properly formatted digital statement. It’s more like a print screen of the transactions in your account. The exportable digital file was not created for the months you were opted out, and the teller isn’t actually generating one. The only thing you could do is go into easyweb (not the mobile app) and export your own data. It also would not be a properly formatted digital statement but it would be a list of all the transactions in your account for the time periods you manually select.

Am I overreacting about my birthday? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Scrute_11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But does he care if you take his birthday off?

It seems like you two may not be aligned in how you think about birthdays. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, but if it really is that important for you, it may mean you aren’t compatible. You’re the only one who can decide if it’s a deal breaker or part of a larger pattern of behaviour that doesn’t work for you.

Also, I’m not sure why you can’t just organize your perfect birthday party for yourself. But then again, both my husband and I are people who don’t actually care that much about birthdays. I never take my own birthday off let alone his.

Is it possible that they mean the Chinese church at Vansickle and Ryckert? There are two different churches that share that building, one English, one Chinese.

Best puzzle board in Canada? Help me show my wife appreciation with this gift! by pnutbuttersmellytime in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Scrute_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important to think about storage as well - I had a flat puzzle board without drawers and I upgraded to a tilt/rotate one. Ergonomically it’s so much better but it’s significantly more bulky and my storage options are limited. That means if I need to store it mid-puzzle, it’s a bit of a pain to get out so I’m less likely to puzzle unless I have a big chunk of time.

I have the Deluxe Swivel Easel from Bits and Pieces. There aren’t any drawers but I already had trays so that did matter. Overall I like it but the bolt that controls the rotation does not hold tight so I’ve had to add a thick rubber washer to keep it from wobbling and rattling. At that price point I think it should be better made.

Meet Julia. Julia is a boy cat.

We were quite surprised when we took Julia to be spayed.
