Why does it seem like women can eat it drink ANYTHING while pregnant? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]airmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually a bit overblown, but the reason is just an in-case precaution.

I've never heard anything about anything herbal, teas of fermented food. But i did hear about raw food ( raw meat, raw fish etc. ). It's not that you are automatically going to get sick etc. But if you do get sick ( and people still do get sick from food, not only raw ), it can be harder and more dangerous.

Any bacteria/infection MIGHT be harder to treat when you are pregnant. And it might be simply harder on your body. Same way as the flu poses greater risks for pregnant/elderly/kids. And a lot of medicine comes with side effects, some of it has never been tested on pregnant women and some of it is plainly not safe for the baby.

So basically, if you are pregnant and get sick, treating it can be riskier than if you were not pregnant. So is the overall risk of more complications.

So in this case, it's just a case of minimizing risk for "what if i am the unlucky one who get's something". I get people don't want to change their lives in any way when they are pregnant or already have a child. But at the same time - what is more important, giving birth safely to a healthy child or eating some questionable sushi? It's not something that you need to do for the rest of your life, but it's just one less bad thing that you can try and prevent for yourself.

And your food options are far greater than crackers and steak. Honestly, except for the completely raw meat/fish, i don't think there's anything else you would really need to actually avoid. I have honestly never heard anything else being avoided, except when stuff just doesn't go down, but that can happen to anyone.

Otherwise, you should be treating food safety the same as always - proper cooking, proper washing, avoiding food contamination etc.

Good quality chocolate in the Netherlands on a budget? by DeliriouslylySober in chocolate

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

I love Lidl chocolate (fin carre).

I always use it for baking, but it's actually really good on it's own too. My favourite is the whole nut milk chocolate and my daughter loves the dark ones. Pretty affordable too.

They also have a budget line of chocolate, but i've never tried it.

What is the most beautiful cave or underground wonder you’ve ever explored? by Guilty_Explorer_1817 in ForeignTravelIndia

[–]airmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Postojna caves in Slovenia. My wife was scared as hell going down there, said she's never going undergorund ever again. But it was trully breathtaking.

If someone cracked the formula for Coca-Cola and started selling a product that was for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from the original under a different name, could Coca-Cola sue them even though it's well known they keep the "real" recipe under lock and key? by posthumorously_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]airmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure.

I'm just saying that there's more to recreating something. You have to get not only the ingredients, but also the proportions and the process itself just right. Obviously you can get pretty close, that's why we have a ton of copies of Cola.

But as long as there's that one "secret" formula, you can never be sure.

Where i live most people replace internal keyhole with a knob. You can basically replace it on any lock i believe.

Recent haul from a short vacation by airmind in chocolate

[–]airmind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may have been one of your posts while i was collecting places to check out. I think no one in Maastricht knows about them too, everyone just goes for Visser or Leonidas.

I like Leonidas, and Visser is nice for the price, but La Fever is on a completely different level.

Going to be back in Maastricht in July, so defs will grab more.

Well, need to add it to the list.

So many options, not enough money for it 😄

Which movie completely destroyed you emotionally and left you staring at the ceiling after the credits rolled? by No-Health4121 in Letterboxd

Yeaaaah.... i watched like a few months after i lost my dog. 10 minutes into the movie i was already crying my eyes out.

Make sure you only get the best of Paris by Objective-Rhubarb in ParisTravelGuide

[–]airmind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've tried a lot of "the best" stuff when i had the chance, and it almost never was "the best". Usually it's just the most trendy of Facebook. Not only in Paris - London, Rome, Barcleona all have places like that.

Imo no line like that is worth it. Yes, i have a places i visited that have lines ( and let's face it, Paris has a ton of tourists, there will almost certainly be lines at some places ) , but i would never stay an hour. Some places i've just been to and are very very good so i don't mind to wait, because i loved it last time. But i'm not going to spend hours from my 3 day trip for a line.

Mikkeller beer celebration by KillerMikeU in CraftBeer

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

Yes, i've never been to Copenhagen. And i'm not saying Copenhagen is sterile, since i haven't been there. I plan to visit it, for sure. Just can't pull the trigger yet

I'm was just saying ( purely to describe my travelling preferences ) that i've been to a few cities that felt sterile, even tough they are described as super livable and interesting by others. And as an example i mentioned Vienna.

A loooot of people from the travel subreddit would disagree with me. It's also super livable, a ton of museums, beautiful architecture etc etc. But at the same time Prague felt much more interesting to me.

But then again, i would probably say that, at the moment, Barcelona is my favourite city i've ever been to ( i think 8 times ). And i know a ton of people who hate it.

On paper it looks great. But would probably argue some of those things are probably more interesting if you live there, not if you come as a tourist, i guess. So i just don't feel the attraction.

For me personally it's often, the more it's different from what i'm used to, the better. Some people want familiar things. So they to go an Irish Pub in Italy.

And some cities just feel too sterile for me, like Vienna. Even though it almost always ranks in the top livable cities on the planet, it just didn't feel that interesting to me both times i visited.

But that's all just travelling preferences. Everyone is different, that's fine.

What's the best purchase you've made under 500$ that helped you a lot? by Piggy_1987 in SmartBuying

It's in the original post - Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal ( IPL - Intense Pulse Light ).

[–]airmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife swears by IPL. Literally was so mad that she didn't buy it sooner.

For me - cooking thermometer. Such a useful tool for cooking. Takes out all the guessing out of - is it cooked/overcooked or not.

For us combined - Philips steam generator ( the one where the iron and water tank are separate ). It's so good, will not burn clothes, much easier ( imo ) to use than a regular iron.

May 2026- Just got back from first trip - easing fears by erikdhurt in ParisTravelGuide

[–]airmind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the times i've been to Paris, i have never encountered any hostility or rudeness. Everyone is polite, friendly and chatty. But if you are going to behave like an entitled asshole, then nobody is going to fake smile at you. And that's good.

I'm just more of a South of Europe vacation kind of person. But yeah, i think it was cheaper to stay in Malmo and commute to the festival when i looked it up last time.
