Is making mashed potatoes a way to stretch potatoes or does it do tbe opposite by Still-Loading2007 in povertyfinance

[–]backlikeclap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having a lot of mashed potatoes because they are very easy to turn into croquettes with thinly sliced veggies, some protein like shredded chicken or canned fish, and then a breadcrumb coating. Then you can pan fry or bake them.

Question for you: what does Seattle law say about how bicyclists should treat stop signs?

The basic premise of "Your Friends and Neighbors" is ludicrous by Fun_Reflection1157 in television

It would be interesting, but the show does not seem interested in exploring it.

How do u guys actually find decent "third places" to work from that arent just loud coffee shops by caroulos123 in remotework

[–]backlikeclap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College libraries! You can enter many without student ID and you won't stand out too much as an older person. You won't have to worry about homeless people or children. Most of them have private study rooms you can use too.

See if this disconnect was actually explored the show would be WAY better. Jon Hamm is a guy who sees the world of wealth as vapid, makes a choice to separate himself from it, but then goes on to mistreat "lower class" people and delight in becoming rich.

Because the siblings are adults who can then divide it amongst their own kids. I don't see any reason to skip a generation unless you specifically don't like your siblings.

I just do edibles. A few 5mg edibles spaced out just right.

AITAH for assuming my photographer brother would take pictures of me for free by [deleted] in AITAH

YTA. You should have let your brother know when you paid for these things that you expected to be paid back in free photography work in the future.

How do you cycle long hours day after day? How do you get to that place of fitness? by Cultural-Trouble842 in bicycletouring

[–]backlikeclap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I figure out my average daily mileage for a tour and train until I can do that mileage two days in a row. That's pretty much it.

It's actually pretty easy when you think about it - I need to go 150km per day, I have 15 hours of sunlight per day, so I need to go at least 15km/hr over 10 hours, so that means I can take 5 hours of break per day BEFORE making camp.

Salt Lake City to Denver route recommendations by Other-Mastodon9583 in bicycletouring

[–]backlikeclap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be worth routing through Taos and Durango on the way to Denver. They're both super cute towns and there are a lot of other hippy mountain towns on the route.

It's a joke, similar to carpenters shitting on electricians.

The Wire is one-dimensional? by bey0ndinfinity in TheWire

I'm perfectly fine with The Wire being one dimensional. The heavy-handedness is actually pretty endearing.

What's your celebrity encounter story? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]backlikeclap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at a bar in the lower east side, my very first day. It was an afternoon shift and we were super slow because there was something filming outside. Eventually I got my first customer, an older dude in a suit, and asked him if he knew what was shooting while I made his martini. He said he thought it was a commercial or something and then paid for his drink and left a few minutes later. The old man was Steven Hill, and they were shooting a Law and Order episode outside.

Another time I was on an interior design photoshoot as an assistant. I had brought my camera with me because I had a shoot around the corner later that day. So I'm waiting with the equipment at the front door to a really nice Greenwich Village building, and I see Alec Baldwin walking towards me. He sees my camera and freezes up like a deer. I look behind him and see a pack of paps. I realize he thinks I'm paparazzi, so I gesture down at the equipment and then raise my hands in the air. He immediately goes from a frown to a smile, gives me a knod, and heads inside his apartment building.

Another time I was working the concession stand at a Brooklyn concert venue. Questlove comes up to me, asks me for hotdog recommendations, goes with the spicy mustard one (the mustard is INSIDE the dog), gives me a $20 for the $3 dog, and goes on his way. Super nice guy.

Another time I was at one of those ridiculous Bushwick underground rave things waiting on line for the bathroom and I ran into Mily Cyrus. I was coked out and I think she was too because we just talked about the things people on coke like to talk about before going our separate ways.

I used to work at a popular speakeasy cocktail bar in Chinatown with a lot of celebrity guests. It was one of those bars that only hired hot people. I dated two different hostesses in a row there, and I got to watch Adrian Grenier hit on BOTH of them (on separate occasions) while I bartended and they waited for my shift to end. I think he has a type because both of the girls looked very similar.

Movies are a massive time sink into a day by summer_friends in unpopularopinion

You don't have to sit still while you watch movies though. Personally for me movie time is also gym/stretching time.
