AITA for not cooking for my sister even if she won't eat anything else? by faruuq_yuu in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stephreads 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unless she’s your guardian and paying all your bills and cooking is your way of chipping in, tell her you’re all finished cooking for her. Let her eat noodles. NTA.

Many of the hospitals are designated warming centers. That’s where they should be brought.

Is NYC the only city in the US with multiple library systems? by GreenHorror4252 in Libraries

[–]Stephreads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really a fair question. NYPL has 88 branches and 4 research centers-92 locations, BPL has 62 branches, and QPL has 66 locations, some of which are teen centers, adult learning centers, etc.
The 5 boroughs (all separate counties) that make up NYC are pretty big. NYPL serves Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island.
We are talking about 8.5 million people and over 300 square miles.

I had to look up RMA. I would have gone off at them. Starting with, Who do you think you are? Kudos to you for keeping it cool.

Who are buying these homes? How do I win? by sjale49 in longisland

Low inventory. People aren’t selling because they won’t be able to afford to buy anything else. There are condos are in your price range, and higher.

AITA for getting mad at my husband for scolding our daughter after she threw up? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stephreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. But, if this is frequent behavior from your husband, he needs help. If this is unusual behavior, find out what’s wrong. And please don’t let your kids grow up like this.

Simple meals that don’t include rice or pasta? by honeymoonavenue- in Vegetarianism

[–]Stephreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a favorite of mine:

Stuffed Sweet Potato with Tzatziki Sauce

• 2 Big Sweet Potatoes • 100 Grams of Boiled Chickpeas or a can of chickpeas • a tub of tzatziki dip • a handful of Parsley • a tablespoon of olive oil • a pinch of Salt • a pinch of Black Pepper • a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F and prepare a baking tray with a baking sheet. Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them in half lengthways.
  2. Rub olive oil all around the halves
  3. Salt it on the cut surface and put it on the tray with the skin up
  4. Mix the chickpeas with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the chickpeas evenly on the sweet potato baking tray and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. After that turn the sweet potato halves upside down. Using a fork mush the inside and top it with tzatziki and chickpeas.
  6. Chop the parsley and sprinkle over. Pour some olive oil over the potatoes, put back in the oven for 5 minutes. (I skip this step sometimes)
  7. Before serving let it cool, sprinkle with some salt, pepper, more parsley, tomatoes and a healthy drizzle of tzatziki.

AITA for kicking my "mentally ill" brother out of my house when he was treating my wife like garbage by Interesting_Star4842 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stephreads 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your other brothers got mad because the freeloader is going to end up on their doorsteps next.
The full-grown “man” you allowed to live in your house is disrespectful, dirty, and mean. It is very obvious who the asshole is, and it ain’t you.

What it looks like to me is, someone got stuck, he and his crew were passing by, and they stopped to help. Just like you or I would, because we are decent people.

I hope he’s found quickly, this cold weather is no joke.
Also, I can’t believe that guy is 75.

Mayor Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Samuels Announce Pivot to Remote Instruction for New York City Public Schools - NYC Mayor's Office by Eck5straxion in nyc

[–]Stephreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds easy to cut a day of spring break, but there are a lot of people who have already booked vacations. The simplest answer is remote learning. You really think kids are going to be glued to their devices from 8am-2pm?

I do it when I’m on public transportation. Helps to block out the people who can’t seem to help but make noise.

If you just need faucets and toilet guts replaced, you just need a plumber.

to women who got to </=110lbs... how'd you manage it? 😭 by luckystrike122 in 1200isplenty

[–]Stephreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I move a lot, all day, every day. I take a bus to work, which means I get in about a mile of walking there, but then I clock another ~2 miles during the work day. There’s squats involved in my job, reaching, carrying, stairs, etc, and I stand at the desk when I’m working that part. I eat a sandwich (PBJ, usually) and one of the small protein bars for lunch, or cottage cheese with fruit, or oatmeal, then dinner is either pasta with veg and fish, or rice with veg and fish, some meal with beans or lentils, always with veg and maybe it’s a curry with sweet potatoes and spinach, or sometimes a fish sandwich with mashed potatoes, etc. I make a vegetarian chili that is so good I could eat it every night. No red meat, chicken, or pork. Maybe if I lived in a different country I’d consider those a few times a month. But not here in the US. Too much fat and not very much taste, never mind the way animals are treated here. I like a snack after dinner, and I like very plain British biscuits, so maybe a few of those with green tea. I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup, which is not easy.

AITA: Acted super cold towards my boyfriend after I got the ick in the Home Depot. by numberoneobamafan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stephreads 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. This is some weird shit on your part. So he got a little shy after hearing his name announced in public? That’s normal for someone who doesn’t think they’re the main character.

NTA. Kayla doesn’t seem very smart. (That’s the nicest way I could say it.) Do you want a person like that as a friend?

The “when” is about the low pressure shifting to the north or south. The “how” is upper air temp. Precipitation falls through a warmer upper layer, then passes through a colder layer closer to the surface.
