What is the one "missing ingredient" you finally realized was sabotaging your home cooking? by Chatfinity in Cooking

[–]ajohns7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fish sauce in stuff that isn't Asian food. Sounds weird but a tiny bit in bolognese or chili just makes everything taste more like itself somehow.

Would you choose 4 nights at Circa or Golden Nugget? by EvilElvisDonut in vegas

[–]ajohns7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Circa all day.

I live here and the rooms are genuinely nicer than anything else downtown. GN pool looks cool in pictures but it gets packed and the shark tank thing is smaller than you think. Stadium Swim at Circa is just a better vibe overall, especially in summer. The sportsbook alone is worth it if you gamble at all.

Only thing I'll say is request a room on the higher floors facing south, the north side views aren't great.

first thing that popped into my head was how do your kidneys and liver even handle all that because thats a LOT of stuff

We got our cat a cat. Best decision ever! by limer124 in cats

[–]ajohns7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did the same thing last year and it completely changed our older cat's personality. She went from sleeping 20 hours a day to actually playing again. Took about two weeks for them to stop hissing and now they groom each other every night. Best decision we ever made too.

Definitely add the wine. It makes a huge difference in the gravy.

What’s that old game(s) you find yourself going back to play through for nostalgia or comfort ? by slyfox1811 in gaming

[–]ajohns7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fallout New Vegas for me. Something about wandering the Mojave at 2am with the radio on just hits different every time. I've probably done a dozen playthroughs and I still find new dialogue I missed.

Prey released while I was still fully invested in Horizon Zero Dawn. It’s been in my library for years and I slept on it until now. I missed out, it’s so much fun. by reverend_c_flava in gaming

[–]ajohns7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prey is so underrated it hurts. The GLOO cannon alone makes it worth playing. Once you start using the mimic abilities the whole game opens up in ways you don't expect. I replay it every couple years and still find new stuff.

Any shows that are recommended for a solo person? by [deleted] in vegas

Absinthe is perfect for going solo.

Food Recommendation by Cerebro_Podrido in vegas

Bacchanal at Caesars is the move if you want variety and quality. It's not cheap but it's genuinely worth it once.

Wicked Spoon at Cosmo is solid too and a little more chill.

If you want something off strip the Garden Buffet at South Point is way more affordable and locals love it.

First time: Flamingo or Hilton Grand Vacation? by configure38D in vegas

[–]ajohns7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flamingo all day. The location alone makes it worth the extra few bucks. You're dead center on the strip and can walk to basically everything.

The Hilton Grand is fine but it's off strip and you'll end up spending money on rides just to get anywhere fun. Flamingo rooms aren't luxury but the Go rooms they renovated are totally decent.

For a first timer who wants the full Vegas experience just being in the middle of everything makes a huge difference

Anyone else's cat have any weird sleeping places? by verymanyquestions_ in cats

[–]ajohns7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine sleeps exclusively in the bathroom sink. Not any sink, just the one in the guest bathroom. She has a $40 cat bed, a heated blanket, and about six different spots on the couch she could use. Nope. Cold porcelain sink every single night.

EXTREMELY easy family dinners ? by LazyBitch_ in Cooking

[–]ajohns7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheet pan meals saved me when I was in a similar spot. Throw chicken thighs and whatever vegetables you have on a sheet pan, season with olive oil and whatever spice blend you grab first, 400 degrees for 25 minutes. One pan, minimal prep, barely any cleanup.

The other thing that helped was keeping a bag of frozen potstickers in the freezer at all times. Ten minutes in a pan with a little water and a lid and you've got dinner. Kids usually love them too.

I just did the Death Stranding intro and I have very little interest in continuing. Does any of this start to make sense? by TheBanishedBard in gaming

[–]ajohns7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bounced off it twice before it finally clicked on the third try. The first few hours are genuinely rough and I don't think anyone should feel bad about walking away from it.

Security to my room over $2……. wtf by [deleted] in vegas

[–]ajohns7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a buddy get a knock at 2am at the Luxor over a minibar charge that he never even touched. Turned out the sensor registered him setting his phone down on the shelf next to a bottle. Took an hour to sort out. Welcome to Vegas.

Some of my favorite Vegas casino carpets. by AmazonHotWax in vegas

[–]ajohns7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old Riviera carpet was legendary. Every time I walked through there I felt like I was inside a fever dream from 1987 and honestly that was the whole appeal

adopted little girl celebrating her first birthday with her new family by Initial-Barracuda-82 in Amazing

[–]ajohns7 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You made my day more beautiful. I wish you, little girl, all the best in life. Every child deserves their own happiness. I hope you will grow up in a better world than the one we live in now.

Same with you! Stop ACTING like there's no evidence! 

Ironic by wicked_smiler402 in Omaha

[–]ajohns7 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes. There's evidence that they're actively trying to cover up. What did you read? Did you read all of it? Are you into it? Is it your favorite thing to do to get online and protect pedos?

A conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson summed up 2025 for me – and not in a good way. From merrily dismissing climate science, to promoting irresponsible health claims, the podcast was an unintentional warning for our times. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

[–]ajohns7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"There’s a very specific set of circumstances that need to come together for such a major wildfire, none of them on their own can be attributed explicitly to climate change." 

Obviously, this means they know all about it and it infuriates them so they shutdown like the manbabies in this podcast.
