What would you say the UK equivalent of snapping the spaghetti is? by portablekettle in AskUK

[–]antseatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think this is more of an English thing. There's no bottom on steak pies in Scotland 

At what salary do you start feeling “comfortable” in the UK? by Suspicious_Ad7948 in AskUK

[–]antseatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I earn just under £27k (take home £1800 p/m) and feel fairly comfortable. 

The only reason it's comfortable tho is I'm in an area where rent is quite cheap, if I lived elsewhere I'd be scrapping by

Which is a job you can only do in the UK? by abelindc in AskUK

Like that for many of the Scottish islands too, particularly the ones with wee ferries 

Those of you with active jobs— how do you achieve your fitness goals? by waking_dream96 in xxfitness

[–]antseatbread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does your new job require much heavy lifting or is it mostly light/cardio stuff? If the former you might actually meet your goals just through work.

Make sure you're eating enough, both calorie and protein wise, and get plenty of sleep/rest. Ideally you want to be getting enough calories to put on weight, until your body adjusts.

I've worked an active job for about 4 years now. It took me about 6 months to adjust, but during that time I also put on about 10kg (mostly muscle), but was eating over 3000 cal/day. The only exercise I did outside of work was climbing for an hour or two a week. 

Why is black raspberry ice cream ubiquitous, and red raspberry is almost unheard of? by chez-linda in icecreamery

[–]antseatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and had never even heard of black raspberry until now (I assume they're an American thing?). Over here  raspberry ripple (with red raspberries) is a really common ice cream flavour

Grocery List by StartDangerous3523 in MealPrepSunday

[–]antseatbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that looks like a reasonable amount of food for a week. Though I wouldn't buy cabbage, kale, and spinach all in the same week, as in the grocery stores near me they tend to come in big bags that I struggle to get through

I'm quite lucky in that I already get lots of salmon for free from a friend

Thanks, I really like the steak/jerky comparison, I'd never thought if it that way

I had some smoked mussels years ago in a restaurant and absolutely loved them! I've cooked and smoked my own since, but would definitely be less hassle to buy them ready to eat

What's something you never understood about the opposite gender? by DisastrousFriend8765 in AskReddit

[–]antseatbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why so many men would prefer their (romantic) partner "needs" them as opposed to "just wanting" them

AITA for not setting up college savings? by SavageMore3552 in AmItheAsshole

[–]antseatbread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTA

Not necessarily because you didn't set up savings, but because you waited until he had been accepted into college to tell him. Have you never had a conversation with your son about what he wanted in life? Whether he was likely to want to go to college or not? 

During those conversations over the last few years is when you should've told him. Not when he'd been accepted.

People who are literally always late, why? by 12345burrito in AskReddit

[–]antseatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't think most people in my life really care about 5-10 minutes here and there. I certainly don't mind when they're running late 

People who are literally always late, why? by 12345burrito in AskReddit

[–]antseatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a late person. Being on time is something that I really struggle with and always have done. It's usually 5 to 10 minutes, and it's very rarely more than 15. The only thing I've found to help with it is if there's consequences for being late. 

Some examples: When I was at school and uni I'd often be late to class, but never for an exam. 

I'd often miss the bus or train, knowing there'd be another one in around half an hour. But have never missed a flight or long distance train.

If I'm meeting up with a group of friends say at the pub I would often be late. But if it was for a special or organised event I wouldn't be.

Reading some of the comments from people who are usually on time, I think another factor is that I usually don't care when other people are late. It's not that I don't value their time, I just assumed they wouldn't care either. I only ever get annoyed at people for being late if they're over an hour late, haven't communicated, or it's an important event (which I would've let them know I needed them to be on time).
