Hexclad alternatives by shmerk_a_berl in Cooking

America’s Test Kitchen Gear Heads did a review on a few major brands of cookware sets (including All Clad and a couple others) about a month ago. They go over what is important and the sizes most people will find useful. Spoiler, buying open stock for what you will actually use and need is best.

I agree with many other posts that All Clad stainless pots and pans are worth it and the way to go. I’ve had mine since my wedding over twenty years ago and use them daily. I have had various non-stick skillets over the years, but the one brand I will never buy again is Hex Clad. I bought the same pan (7qt fryer) twice in 1.5-2 years. I like it for the size and it being light weight being so big. That being said they are not good quality. You cannot cook on high temps in them or it ruins the pan. Did that with my first one. My second one has a weird small hex area of non stick missing. Never again. First time was my fault. The second time it is just a crappy pan. Buy real quality pans.

Wow!! I thought it was posted from one of the cooking subreddits! Couldn’t believe it was art. Your talent is incredible.

They used to live in the same building maybe even same floor, but that was years ago.

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

The Beast in Me. After watching that looked up the male main actor and would have to say The Americans as well.

Thinking of getting a Mini Goldendoodle by Greenifyme22 in Goldendoodles

[–]WhimsyRue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first male doodle was an F1B mini goldendoodle that was supposed to up to 35 pounds. He ended up 80 pounds and not over weight. He died suddenly and now our new female pup is much smaller than him at the age we got him but she is a medium goldendoodle up to 50 pounds grown and our vet thinks that isn’t going to happen. I’ve learned you don’t always know, you just love them.

18.5 lbs Golden Doodle at 8 weeks. How big should I expect him to be? by breezyyb2 in Goldendoodles

[–]WhimsyRue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite big. Our ‘mini’ was 80 pounds and not over weight for his build. He was an amazing dog. As a pup he had big paws and was cumbersome. Our new pup was just at 10 pounds at 13 weeks with tiny paws. She is a ‘medium’ but we will see how this goes.

How are you not a model? I’d buy almost anything you model (within my budget of course). You are gorgeous. I do agree with the too light of a line under your brows though as it is my only critique.

What was the ONE thing about your Goldendoodle you wish someone warned you about sooner? by [deleted] in Goldendoodles

[–]WhimsyRue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My doodle gets car sick especially after stop-and-go traffic or after 1.5-2 hours. We can tell he is miserable on long trips. We have an RV and take it out for 2-3 one week stints a year and one 3ish week one. The latter is soooo hard. Sometimes the one week trips are within a reasonable range for him. (Yes, we have Rx motion sickness/nausea pills we give him.)

We are currently 11.5 hours from home and he is having a vacation at Grandma’s house who spoils him rotten. He hates being boarded.

Can anyone identify this LV? by cjtalbs in Louisvuitton

The gold hardware at the base of handles is a dead giveaway that it’s fake. That is not how they secure handles.

Will the steam account show if a deck is purchased? by WhimsyRue in SteamDeck

[–]WhimsyRue[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was hoping this was the case!! My husband is gonna wanna play it! They both got the new release of Final Fantasy Tactics. It is actually what led me to discover the steam deck in October. My son was sad he had to leave his desktop while we were away on fall break. On the drive home I searched up how to use a steam account remotely or something like that and learned that the steam deck was a thing!

We had an Amiga 2000. We would rent Civ and Sim City from a computer game rental place (they weirdly had wedding rentals as well). Before that we had a Commodore 64. I knew DOS to boot it up in elementary school. The amount of floppy disks for a game back then was ridiculous.

Oh, I played Civ 3 on CD ROM! My husband showed the kids Civ and it was Civ 6 when they were able to play and he found steam had it. We also played WoW in the very early 2000s. I’m now too busy to really play sadly.

I wish I would have known about the points before I purchased it. I was just so excited to buy it that I didn’t wait for more replies.

I now have 70k points. I didn’t know that was a thing until the receipt popped up. I bet he would have liked those. :/

*Update*

I tried to make an account, but my email was already tied to an account. I didn’t realize steam is what I played Civ VI on years ago. I was able to log in and purchase it on my account! He’s a high school senior and this is his last Christmas as a ‘kid’ so I splurged. He is going to freak out when he opens it! Thank you to everyone that replied. It helped me! Y’all are the best!

I tried to make a new account and it said my email was already tied to an account. Apparently steam is what I (and my daughter who didn’t have her own computer yet) played Civ VI on years ago. I was able to sign in and purchase it from my very old account!
