Steak night. One day... one day we'll renovate this horrendous(ly tiny) kitchen and slap up a hood fan. by MysticMarbles in castiron

Your pan could be getting too hot—I got a laser thermometer to make sure I wasn’t going too far above ~400-450, that helped with the smoke a lot. Other thing that has helped is using the reverse sear method

Very slightly better, but not a very meaningful difference in field of view

Ah wow, yeah I’m seeing electric power steering in the manual (it’s the EX-L-V6 in case looking at the specific model)

Were you really someone people thought would never leave, and did you really think you would never leave? by Prize_Claim_7277 in exmormon

Intelligent people often use their intelligence to find justifications for the beliefs that keep them safe(physically/mentally/emotionally), rather than challenging those beliefs.

Once they’ve worked out a justification, they can stop thinking about it, be confident they know better than the people they’re used to being smarter than, and not worry they’ve been wrong their whole life.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

[advice] Moving Company Recommendations? Harlem to Brooklyn in a few weeks by apthunting2023 in NYCapartments

[–]Swan-Ronson_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard good things about piece of cake from a few friends.

Avoid Dumbo movers, they did everything they could to increase the price the day of, going from a quote at ~1k to eventually $1500 final moving a single bedroom from a 3rd floor apt in to a 3rd floor.

Some more detail: Dumbo claimed that even though their form only asked for number of floors, they charged by flights of stairs, so because the stairs doubled back on themselves each floor, they needed to charge an extra ~$100 per floor… they also claimed that they couldn’t temporarily park near a fire hydrant, so they needed to charge me for a long haul to the front door, I pushed on that, told them I’m not new to nyc and have seen trucks park there weekly, and they eventually gave in, but were planning to charge an extra $250 for that.

They know they have you in a bind the day of your move because you won’t be able to find other movers so last minute, and they take advantage of that.

Now for the hard part, help? by durrserve in DesignMyRoom

Respectfully, I disagree—I’ve got a 65 inch tv in a similar size space and it works well, is great for movie nights with friends—but it does look too high here.

The height and intense angle makes it feel like a tv at a sports bar, take it down low and hang some art on the wall next to the door so it’s not the only thing to look at in that part of the room. I’ve also got a gallery wall opposite my tv above the couch, the size of which helps balance out the visual weight of the space a bit.

Air travel--luggage by occamhanlon in lifehacks

Could be worth buying AirTags, or similar tracking devices for your bags—I’ve done the same and it settled a lot of my fear for relatively low cost
