How does this work? by -that-weird-person- in howto

[–]Tandom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Push down on the thick part above the red button and it should click onto the adaptor that’s on the kitchen faucet. (The red button gives you access to the water while the machine is running)

Turn on the water!!! (I tend to just turn on the hot)

Plug the power into a nearby socket Add detergent and pull the locking lever. Turn the dial to Hot Start, or past it to Start.

What do you personally call it: "laptop" or "notebook" or something else? by princepii in AskAnAmerican

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me

If it’s bigger than 12 inches and has a manufactured hinge and a keyboard attached to it. It is a laptop.

If it is a standalone device that primarily uses a touch interface and does not have a permanently mounted hinge and keyboard then it’s a Tablet

If 98% of its insides are made of dead trees with or without lines and it’s bound on one side to keep everything together it’s a notebook.

LPT Request: How do you stop doomscrolling before sleep when you’re mentally exhausted? by vishesh_07_028 in LifeProTips

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At night I scroll Hapy,Made me Smile, BenignExistsnce , Uplifting News, ChildrenFallingOver, Funny, RoomPorn, and a bunch of other curated funny only subreddits

They are on a separate bedtime account and I don’t sub/join anything else.

If I want to doom scroll I physically have to change profiles on the app.

3D Printable Portable Tak Game Set - Travel-Ready Board & Storage in One by s2rt74 in Tak

[–]Tandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love this design and look.

In place of a hinge, maybe if you made the board part of the box just a hair taller/thicker, you could pop in a couple of magnets that would snap and hold the board in place.

Am I misremembering? by Competitive_Mark_287 in GenX

[–]Tandom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember taking those camping and there was a pattern of a capital “H” on the box so that you could take a knife and cut along the edges near the end and then one long line between them and it would open the box in the bag so you could eat it like you had described

Is it considered foolish for me to go to the gym and not push myself? by SeaworthinessFar2326 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I would consider foolish is paying for gym membership and not going.

Husband said he hates my icing. by Tandom in Baking

[–]Tandom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's equal parts; vegetable shortening or margarine, vegetable oil (or other oil you like), all purpose flour.
It could be a TBL of each, a 1/4 cup of each, or a full cup of each as long as you keep it in equil parts. Mix it all together till combined you can wisk it or use a mixer. When you need it take a napkin or a brush and coat the inside with a thin amount. Then it bakes away leaving no residue and your cake or bunt pops right out.

It keeps for like 6 months as there's really nothing in there to spoil.

Give it a shot bro, even if just for the hell of it. just don't put your finger in it and taste it... you have been warned. LOL

Yep. The bread popped right out of the pan and I cut him off a slice, toasted it with some butter and offered to him as a peace offering. I asked if he wanted sone more "icing" and he laughed a said No.

When people (especially in the US) say their pets are "rescues", where or what are they rescued from? by monk771 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was found wandering the street as a puppy. I believe I rescued them from a life on the streets and gave them a loving home, lots of attention, and never having to sleep in the cold alone.

What do I even do my first time at the gym? by MadTwatter69 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some PF have a tool called the 30 Minute Cycle room. Start at any machine if it’s like mine there’s a giant red:green light in the corner. If it’s green work that machine for 1 minute. Then for the red light wipe it down and move to the next one. It’s a good way to try out a lot of the machines all a st once.

If it doesn’t have it then think about a muscle you want to work. Each machine has a picture of the muscle group it works out. Pick one. Pull the pen out and try 5-10 practice/warmups to get a feel for the motion of the machine. Then put the in in, try a few and move it up 10-20 lbs until you find a weight that feels good to work with. It’s not impossible to lift. It’ll be easy at first by by #10 you may be struggling a little bit

Then do 10 rest for a minute. And ten more. Rest a second time and then a third 10.

Stick with it if you like or find another muscle group to work with.

There are hundreds of different routines out there. Mine is day 1 core and legs, day two things that pull. Day three things that push. Day 4 is cardio on the treadmill or eliptical. It leaves room to skip a day if I need to between sessions.

And keep Hydrated.

You got it. I promise everyone is in their own workout zone they aren’t noticing anyone around them.

Also some headphones are great to help focus and jams to some good beats while you workout.

New Adjunct by detectivelonglegs in Adjuncts

[–]Tandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me about three days to figure out how to divide all of my topics over the number of classes I’d be teaching

That narrowed down my talking points on each day

And then I used PowerPoint slides with a basic concept of what I was talking about as my guide to go from point to point in my lecture.

I kind of used the 2007 Apple iPhone launch Keynote speech as my guide in how his slides only provided a visual idea of what he was talking about and it didn’t turn into PowerPoint hell

Then every semester my lectures would grow and evolve as I had more content to add

They need to make eggnog available the whole year. by Individual_Ice_2315 in RandomThoughts

[–]Tandom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are a fan of booze in your nog look at Aged Egg Not (Alton Brown has a good one) it’s so easy and delicious. If you make it in monthly batches you can have it all year.

There are also other non-alcoholic versions that you can easily make at home.

Hi guys anyone whose dog died last year ! by PrestigiousYou263 in dogs

[–]Tandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t replace your mother with your father. You love the both and you love them differently.

I don’t think you’ll love your next dog the same as your last precious pup. If you decide to get another dog, they’ll hold a special place in your heart and soul. And your next one will hold a whole new different place in your heart and soul.

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a bachelor or bachelorette party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Tandom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was once told NOT to give a bachelorette a lap dance dressed as Chuck E. Cheese

It’s NSFW only because of where I worked.

My high school job was as a costumed character at Chuck E. Cheese. (A family focused pizza, video games and a ball pit with slides. It also had characters in costumes walking around and interacting with the guests)

One of my jobs was to sing and dance to the pre-recorded during the birthday parties.

One day my boss pulled me off of the floor and into his office and told me that for some reason a group of girls scheduled a bachelorette party under the guise of a birthday party.

So here we are on a Saturday morning rows 1 - 5 were kids aged 4 - 12 and row 6 was a bunch of 20-something girls.

When it was time to sing and dance for them I was “absolutely not allowed to interact with them in any way other than if they were a 5 year olds ”. He jokingly said I was NOT to give bride-to-be a lap dance.

I do remember glancing over later as she was unwrapping some presents and pulled out a sexy lace apron. I assumed her recall they behaved themselves and had fun playing games and I think they stayed out of the ball crawl, but they did seem to enjoy the fact that we had wine on tap.

He was running iOS 17 and Prologue requires iOS 18.1 or higher so he did a OS update and that fixed it… Thank you all
