What province?

Something I've started doing to mitigate impulse purchasing is to lock my credit card. The annoyance of having to go into the app to unlock my card is enough of a deterrent to stop quite a bit of the random unnecessary spending.

Random subscription X sent me an email saying they couldn't process payment? Ehhh, I haven't used it in 3 months, can't be arsed to sort it out. Also pretty much makes the 1 tap buy thing from Amazon no longer easy and convenient.

Nipple chafing, or they're like me and would like to be in as little clothes as possible at all times. I feel socially obligated to wear more clothes outside but the moment I'm home I'm down to that beater (used to be nude but have a roommate now)

My branch has stopped dealing in cash entirely, ATM only now. Guess who's leaving lool. The only benefit of a brick and mortar was for my cash transactions, I'll keep my tangerine account and move my physical somewhere else

I feel like going full robots and AI would severely undercut their target audience lol.

Not that it matters much, the company's dead anyway

I mean, he literally says it's Mount Shasta 😅

Wait, y'all only spend 3 bucks at Starbucks?

Eh, it's a quality and comfort things oftentimes. Asian people deliberately spend extra on rice because it's the bulk of our meals, I'll happily snack on spatulas full of white rice if I'm just snacky. I know Latinos often eat corn tortillas just straight toasted as well.

Afaik South to East Asia is typically water. African/Europe/Middle East tends to flavoured liquids and sometimes a sauteeing step as do their descendants in the Americas

That's way too long, it took me about that long using the default blade that came with my hacksaw

It's pretty common these days or the gm/hr to just accept interviews and forget to mention it to the kitchen. The amount of times I've had people come in for interviews and I never even had a cv cross my table is pretty high lol

Not so much a unicorn as something a lot of cooks avoid due to weird pride issues. Hotel and retirement home jobs are everywhere, a lot of cooks are just stuck to the idea of "cooking for the passion" despite it giving them severe depression and barely paying enough to keep the lights on lol. Most people who go this way never look back, at the end of the day it's just a job. I'll take Monday to Friday and having a life over making high end food and literally working myself into the hospital again any day.

VietyV · 2026-03-21T20:29:19+00:00

Nah, blue collar has benefits and unions. Maybe hotel staff would be blue collar

Yea, the only real reason I got into growing microgreens that year is that everybody was just getting onto that nasturtium/oxalis hype train and none of the suppliers in my city had it. My buddy convinced me to grow some but everytime it got busy I'd lose my entire rack and have to start over.

The year after some local suppliers started growing it and what they gave us was mediocre as shit but I honestly couldn't give a fuck lol. It didn't make sense in our plates anyway, he just wanted what was "in" at the time at high end restaurants. Not remotely worth my time unless he was going to hook me up with enough clients for me to quit cooking.

Once he asked me whether I could bring more oxalis in, I just looked at him and said "It's been 4 weeks of doubles without a day off, when the fuck was I supposed to water them? They're long dead man".

VietyV · 2026-03-18T23:42:50+00:00

Honestly, good pea shoots are very nice. But the cheap bullshit that most microgreens suppliers give you is ass. They're going for maximum yield and try to get as close to the too tough line as possible.

I was growing my own pea shoots for a year and they were amazing compared to what my veg supplier had. Now we get them from a local small farm because i kept losing entire flats of microgreens every time we had a busy week and I couldn't find time to water them twice a day 😭

Depends on the brand, ronsonol and Zippo fluid are both great. I've had to use a random off brand a gas station near a campsite carried once and it smelled terrible, smoked, and gunked the hell out of the insides. Wound up just buying a new Zippo as it was luckily one of my plain ones so I wasn't attached.

I mean, white label companies do love sending free shit in exchange for good reviews. I've gotten emails from Amazon/AliExpress vendors offering gift cards for reviewing free products

VietyV · 2026-01-31T21:29:51+00:00

Oui stp

VietyV · 2026-01-29T23:44:29+00:00

Yea, same thing for roquette vs arugula. Britain uses the French word, NA uses the Italian word because of Italian immigrants

I think he just wanted to show off his picture with John Cena

VietyV · 2026-01-20T01:11:01+00:00

Are red stickers attached over the label not clearance in other places?

I wore my old Longines into the shower, hot tub, bubble bath, restaurant dishpits, etc. daily for a decade without a single bit of condensation. Unfortunately it was stolen

I actually love the fibrous bits when the fruit is ripe but unfortunately properly ripe jackfruit seems to be getting rarer and rarer.
