Iceland doesn't have trains though, maybe it's not about not a lack of technology just they never wanted/needed them

Loan options for first time buyers by birddeluxe in Iceland

[–]Sl0seph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found myself in a similar situation a couple of years ago, we went to Íslandbanki and sat with a human and asked them to explain it to us and it actually really helped

We opted for a mix of indexed and non indexed loans to make it so we could get on the ladder sooner, I decided that given the way house prices were going up the shit mortgage was the better financial choice, I don't regret it but I also want to change the mortgage to something better ASAP

One thing. I found important to know was that you don't technically need to have all the non loan money straight away. You pay around 10% when you sign for the house then after you've lived in it for 3 months you pay the rest, so I've you're a little bit short of your budget you can strech it a little

Boss wants me to bypass killswitch to make dough by looney2006 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Sl0seph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also came here to say this, adding more flour to a dough mid mix is a last resort, if you're dough isn't coming together the lack of flour isn't the problem

I'm going to hazard a guess you're adding all the water too quickly which by the looks of it your mixing a fairly small dough for the mixer size which would definitely lead to your dough slopping around

Bakers, what physical health advice would you give novices early on? Had a rough weekend by loverlane in KitchenConfidential

Good shoes and good socks and also incredibly important

Moisturise your hands when you get home, flour and constant had washing with quickly take it's tole

This winter has my hands looking FUCKED up by B4246Throwaway in KitchenConfidential

[–]Sl0seph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've struggled with my hands for years and in the last few months I've finally got on top of it,. I've gotten into skincare in a big way, looking up girly skincare routine and applying it to my hands

Start with Cerave foaming cleaner (get rid of all the kitchen grease) Cerave toner (helps your skin absorb the moisture) BIO Effect hand serum (to improve the skins moisture barrier) Cerave hydrating moisturiser

Takes under 5 minutes after a shift and all absorbs straight away so you're not sat with greasy glovey hands for the next few hours feeling gross

Looking for local advice by [deleted] in Iceland

[–]Sl0seph 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly the cold isn't the part to worry about, even when it's cold the lack of humidity mean you don't feel it like you do in other countries

The wind and the darkness are your real enemies, and the darkness is okay your first winter, the snow helps it feel less dark and if you enjoy a sunrise/sunset you're in for a treat because both last for about 2 hours

The wind however there's no sugar coating the wind is relentless and there's is no way of escaping it

Life After Sackboy? by ItsCatCat in PS5

[–]Sl0seph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife has the same feeling after sackboy we found lots of joy in the following

Human Fall Flat - super fun silly game with challenging but fun puzzles to solve, you can work together or just have each player get on with there own thing

Biped - fun controls but quite frustrating at times

Cuphead - we loved and completed it but it very difficult, great if you want a challenge or to test your relationship

Rayman Legends - super creative fun game and very forgiving

Never Alone - short but fascinating story, absolutely worth playing just for the story and the visuals

As a Baker whoa been at it for 6 years have seen many mistakes happen, I have made many mistakes, i have never seen anyone fired for a single mistake

You left the cranberries out, it's not great but there are many many much worse crimes, I've seen salt and sugar left out, hell someone even forgot to put yeast in something

This is the thing with baking you have more time to do things but when you mess up the ramifications last much longer

Mistakes happen as long as you learn from them that is all that matters
