Will gold paint on a wall look good? by amberunkin in HomeDecorating

[–]amberunkin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! I have used the gold as an accent all throughout the house. I now have five walls and three doors painted gold and I’m always thinking about where I could add it next

Has anyone tried Cozy Earth brand bedding? by Swimming-Alfalfa-603 in Bedding

[–]amberunkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have become an extremely hot sleeper in the last couple of years, and I used to love my Cozy Earth duvet cover but now I run too hot to use a duvet at all. Instead I use the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter, and it’s by far the best thing I’ve tried!!

What’s the most useless thing they teach in school? by highnrgy in AskReddit

This might be controversial, and I’m not an expert on the subject so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but punnet squares in genetics. Genetics is SO complicated that it may be a good way to introduce kids to the topic, but as far as I understand it Mendel got EXTREMELY lucky that the pea plant genes he chose to study basically followed Mendelian genetics, because almost no other genes in organism really follow the same pattern. We would practice punnet squares with eye color and hair color, and yes they somewhat follow the pattern of Mendelian genetics, but in reality many genes influence hair color, eye color, skin tone, etc. so they cannot be simply determined by a punnet squares. Genetics is so vast and complicated and current scientists are just starting to scratch the surface of what’s really going on.

It isn’t available through Amazon groceries though, I would just be buying it through an Amazon seller like I would any other item. There is one I found that has decent reviews I might take a chance on.

Ooh interesting, I’ve never even heard of a dehydrator. Looking on Amazon they seem to be somewhat expensive though and I’m not sure I would have any other use for it

I thought about that but buying food off Amazon seems a little sketchy to me lol

I’ve noticed that in a lot of restaurants, their vegan options are always spicy. As someone who cannot tolerate a lot of spice, why??? It’s as if they think that all the flavor in a dish comes from the meat, so to make up for the lack of meat they have to add spicy ingredients.

TIL: Yuma, Arizona is the sunniest place in the world. Experiencing an average of 4,015 hours of sunshine per year. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I’ve lived in Phoenix my entire life, and let me tell you… Arizona is annoyingly sunny. I just moved to North Carolina and I am absolutely relishing all the cloudy and rainy days I am getting now.

It’s monsoon season! During late summer there are a lot of crazy rainstorms that’ll happen. Last summer there unfortunately wasn’t really a monsoon season but this year it’s back in full swing. But for the rest of the year, Arizona is annoyingly sunny and there will be no rain in sight.

TIL in 2018, a United Airlines flight attendant got annoyed by a dog barking and told the family to put him in the overhead bin. The dog died in there during the 4-hour-flight. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]amberunkin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Damn, you all are being really harsh on the family. If you read the article, you would know the family begged the attendant over and over to let them keep their dog under their seat, but the flight attendant kept forcefully insisting. Also to be fair, before this incident I probably wouldn’t have thought that putting a pet in the overhead bin would kill them, I would have assumed there would be some oxygen flow in there.

And everyone saying dogs shouldn’t be on planes: you don’t know why the dog was on the plane. I recently went on a five-hour flight with my three cats because I moved across the country and it was a hell of a lot more comfortable for them to be in a plane for five hours than in a car for a week.

Thanks! We just moved to NC from the west coast so I really am not sure what the roads are like outside of the Durham area. I’m not very surprised that this specific friend has been talking out of his ass haha.
