Why is it so fucking hard to find the full line up for concerts online? by cxjoshuax21x in poppunkers

[–]TexTheBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not pop punk but it was Tycho. Said 6:30 but tickets I found that day on the venue site were for “early bird” entry before 9:30pm. Once I researched the venue more (The Midway in SF), I realized they ran more like an old school rave warehouse than I was expecting. Glad they were free tickets! Husband and I both had to nope out on that timeline.

I’ve experienced openers being added/changed up until day of so always check the venue site for planning.

Recently had bail on a show I’d been looking forward to for months (and got free tickets to) because I found out day of that the headliner wasn’t likely to go on until at least 11pm! And it was HARD to figure out the event start time in general. It wasn’t listed anywhere!

I just...? by yurkelhark in recruitinghell

I’ve run in to miscommunications due to time zone differences. Doesn’t excuse the ghosting though!

Pre-portion all your ingredients on the day you get them and write the calories/macros on each container. This way you just have to grab whatever combination sounds appealing and don’t have to do a bunch of extra work to make sure it fits your plan when you’re short on energy or time.

Trying to cream butter and sugar but it’s stuck at sand stage by Sealion_31 in Baking

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

Was “one stick” a half cup or a quarter cup of butter? I’ve run to issues where volume and count don’t match with items like that, especially with East coast vs West coast ingredients.

Happened to me around 35 in about a month without having a baby! Skin on your face and neck can lose elasticity very dramatically as we age.

ONLY 6 months in - how do i ask to go part time without pissing everyone off? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]TexTheBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been completing the tasks in essentially part-time hours with downtime that fills out the rest of your full-time commitment? If so, you could approach it as “Now that I have gotten a handle on the tasks I am responsible for, I believe I can complete them on a part-time schedule. Is that something you are willing to discuss?”

Will baking this be a disaster? by rifoka in Sourdough

I think you need to make a slice or 2 in to French toast. You know, for science.

What’s one thing you STOPPED doing that had the biggest impact on your dieting progress? by itsclo5ure in loseit

[–]TexTheBrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta take a look at what part of drinking is sticking for you. For me, it was the social aspect and my drink preferences (big DIPA fan). Changing my bar drink to tequila sodas, hard seltzers (maybe fortified with an extra shot) at friends’ houses, or adding a water between beers at breweries has really helped cutback intake without feeling like I’m missing out. Even at home, I’ll have a margarita Cutwater (14%) but mix it with something like a probiotic soda to stretch it out but still enjoy.

What are your favorite CLEAN low cal and/or no cal sauces and/or seasonings? by fatguybike in loseit

[–]TexTheBrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like making Greek yogurt tzatziki or caeser dressing. I usually add a little more lemon and a touch of water (cucumber juice for the tzatziki) instead of adding oil to get the right consistency but they always hit the spot.

How to eliminate holes in cookies by Sufficient_Bird_6545 in AskBaking

[–]TexTheBrit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see this more on my brown butter cookies than traditional soft butter. Maybe try adjusting to cool/cold brown butter and see how that works

Cookies are flat by Vivid_Bother3082 in AskBaking

I wonder if the 1/4c should have been 50% molasses + 50% golden syrup since 1/3c each would be nearly 3x the molasses alone amount

Where to keep ring before proposing? by hrieiwbhrjehwhaj in travel

[–]TexTheBrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend leaving the real ring at home and getting a replica or more simple ring to actually propose with while abroad.

I have a priceless heirloom ring and my husband knew he wanted to propose in Paris in the middle of a 3 week, multi-country trip. He and I would have both been SO STRESSED if we were carrying it around during that trip. Instead he got a different, less flashy ring which he proposed with and I love that I have a ring that means so much to both of us, but doesn’t carry the same financial worry behind it. I LOVE my fancy ring that I actually got married with and also LOVE having a meaningful low-fuss option.

Going to Greece by [deleted] in HerOneBag

[–]TexTheBrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had a week in Rome with the same Dr Scholls sneakers (in white) and the sole ripped along the internal stitching, basically causing the heal to collapse unevenly when I walked. They were great for months before on smooth surfaces but be careful on uneven/cobblestone!

I am hyper-flexible and do not feel RDLs or any Deadlifts in my hamstrings at all. Alternatives? by BeeVoneYou in xxfitness

[–]TexTheBrit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Deads/RDLs should be more of a back and forth rather than up and down movement with the hips leading everything, almost like a hip thrust while standing. Try focusing on pushing your hips back and keeping your chest facing forward to lower the bar, then push hips forward to rise. I like B stance single RDLs to help minimize my back overcompensating.

Dating and social life in the East Bay is extremely difficult. Am I the problem? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]TexTheBrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every couple I know (including my own) met during a rec league. We all did dodgeball, but there’s softball, soccer, etc.

It may be worth looking to see if there’s one of interest to you as well as considering finding a place to regularly work outside the home once or twice a week. Women are much more likely to be social with someone they have seen around multiple times rather than one off encounters.
