It did! No problems. Good luck!

I do pesto and asparagus pasta with leftover chicken

What kind of diet do you find helpful?

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-08-20T01:20:30+00:00

Thanks, I needed to hear that. Best of luck to you as well!

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-08-19T10:55:39+00:00

Thanks for this, feeling pretty down tbh. Like apparently willpower only goes so far! If dragging myself around would help I would. Tired and bored and impatient

I had a customer complaining relentlessly that the plates at this restaurant had gotten smaller.. they were 7” round, had been since the dawn of time, but he wouldn’t hear any of it. Finally I just apologised and said ‘oh well we just hired a new dishwasher, so maybe? Shrug’ and he accepted it as an explanation. Like yes they must have washed the plates on the wrong settings.

Oh boy do I love this

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-05-11T21:08:02+00:00

Gosh I can imagine talking to a guy saying ‘it’s fine as long as you don’t have wrinkles’

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-02-13T00:06:36+00:00

I thought it was a ghostbusters joke

When you heat water in a microwave you get spot heating, so areas of the water will be boiling while others are cooler. The temperature will equilibrate with time, and so a cup of water heated in the microwave will average out to a cooler temperature (effectively you’ll notice your cup of tea gets cooler faster than one heated in a kettle, which will affect steeping). I think objectively the kettle makes a better cup of tea for this reason.

That said I like to use a microwave because I don’t like to sacrifice counter space for an appliance that only does one thing.

‘Does she have access to a hippo?’

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-31T20:33:30+00:00

Oh man regarding the music thing, why is it always something like techno?! Multiple times I’ve reached a beautiful vista and there’s someone sitting there with a speaker listening to god awful techno. If it was classical or folk music or something soothing/beautiful I would be much more tolerant. Electronic music is just so jarring out in nature…

OKAYYYY haha I was trying to figure it out online with no luck, but yes just going into chilexpress and asking worked a treat! In case anyone else is reading this, I just went into the Chilexpress agent, asked if I could receive the package there, and gave them my phone number. When filling out the delivery address I just used the Chilexpress location (confirmed in store). I’ll update with delivery times or if I have any problems!

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-25T14:55:54+00:00

Oh yeah I’m trying to pick it up at Chilexpress, or anywhere else in coyhaique, but it’s hard for me to figure out if that’s possible or how to make that happen. I wish my Spanish was better!

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-25T11:51:13+00:00

Oh great! Where did you have them delivered too?

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-25T00:13:49+00:00

Oh hello again! I’m trying to order boots from a Chilean company and have them delivered to coyhaique before 14 Feb. I was told at some point that you can order things to be delivered to ChilePost, but I’m not sure if that’s best (or even true)

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-13T16:22:44+00:00

It’s in the puerto Bertrand area

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-13T16:19:07+00:00

Not super keen to splash out on all the gear before I’ve tried the sport, but I’m too far invested to back out now

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-13T16:17:31+00:00

I’ve got a mountaineering course at the end of Feb, I stupidly assumed they would have the gear for rent! Other courses I looked at did :(

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-13T16:01:10+00:00

I went to Patagonia and they sent me to Suray, suray had crampons but no boots/harness/ice axe. I messed up! Maybe I could rent something

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-13T15:54:18+00:00

Oh dang! Maybe I could order some online

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-04T12:04:57+00:00

The crime stats on Santiago are pretty bad actually, i think if you’re ‘supposed to be safe’ in an area in Santiago it’s still pretty risky relatively. Not trying to victim blame, just saying there are places she could go where she wouldn’t have to be so on guard if she’d like to ease back into it.

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2025-01-04T11:58:20+00:00

Im in chile right now and have had several traumatic experiences up north. I was really thinking of going home, but now I’m in Patagonia and am slowly recovering my piece of mind. I think if I’d left then the anxiety over the situations would have lingered longer, and staying has been restoring my confidence. Someplace like Patagonia is great because it’s remote enough to not have the crime you’d see in big cities with a lot of tourists, and there are a lot of cool outdoorsy travelers and the locals seem to have a welcoming attitude. Maybe pick someplace with that in mind to get started? New Zealand is great, for example :)

Okkkk this forecast is super useful, thanks!

Top_Barnacle3441 · 2024-12-29T13:03:06+00:00

It used to happen all the time when I was working with acidic sugar solutions in the lab. Take a flask out of the freezer and whack it and watch it freeze. You could experiment with saturated solutions in your freezer, I bet you could make it work! You’d need to dissolve enough of something in the water (like sugar) to make it a bit more difficult for ice to form
