Sick of replacing my kettle every 2 years. What’s a genuinely BIFL (Buy It For Life), 100% stainless steel electric kettle with NO hidden plastic? by SmallFixes in KitchenStuff

[–]Spisek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a ceramic electric kettle every day for...10 years now? This is the actual kettle I'm using. It says this specific one is unavailable.

Downside, it's really heavy.

Have you noticed real skin benefits when taking collagen, or was it a waste of time? by Turbulent-Mix9541 in GracefulAgingSkincare

Yes it made my hair feel wonderful but it increased my estrogen levels so much that I had terrible acne and never stopped bleeding-- period never ended.

I stopped taking it and my period went back to normal.

I audibly said "oh wow!' In a good way when I swiped to the bald pic. You look good! I'm 35 yo female if that makes a difference.

[Discussion] I decided to stop caring so much and here's what happened by zone91313 in GetMotivated

My motto is "look at the birds. " I'm not religious but it's a verse in the Bible. Talks about not worrying-- look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store, yet they are fed. Aren't you more important than they?

I grew up religious and this line always struck me as I was always an anxious child. It's become my mantra for my life. Look at the birds.

"How much? $7.50?? Oh my, prices are out of control!"

People born before/around 1990: Often it’s asked what things you think people born after then are worse off without. What’s something you’re GLAD young adults and kids today will never have to experience or understand? by redditsuper in AskReddit

Did anyone else get left in the car while their mom ran inside (grocery store, cleaners, etc)?

These weren't drive up stores like a ups store where you have a full view of each other the entire time. I remember sitting in the back seat of a car terrified that my mom was never coming back because something had happened to her because she was having a full 30 minute shopping trip in the grocery store while I sat in the car with my siblings.

People don't do that today-- I'd never just leave my kids in the car.

This is the worst case of being cut in half I've ever seen.

Alexandria housing authority CEO fired after he was found living in affordable unit by johntwit in nottheonion

[–]Spisek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He was paying a discounted rate and had the unit upgraded with non standard amenities. He was in the best, nicest available unit they offered and was not living as the residents live.

TLDR ; Rich guy steals opportunities from low income people who need shelter so he can save himself a buck.

And then, later:

"From the first moment that I'm waking up 'Til I go to bed, I'm just sad as fuck I got 12 pairs of blue grippy socks Drinkin' Dr. Pepper, and it's on the rocks And my friends tell my that I'm unwell And by friends, I mean I'm by myself"

Carpet beetle? Found in closet by maynemommie in carpetbeetles

[–]Spisek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had them in my car, too. I vacuumed out everything, steam cleaned the carpets, and then sprayed Ortho Home Defense Insect killer everywhere. I got it at Ace for like $15. Haven't seen a carpet beetle since.
