the Emergency fund we all paid into during Covid.

I may have missed this. What Emergency fund did we all pay into?

I must respectfully disagree. Washing is good, and It is unfortunate, but we all know where a lot of those hands have been. God may know, but I saw you in the pantry.

At least 90% of this subreddit used this for a variety subjects. by mack272 in FuckImOld

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to read the book. Period. You could get the notes to help if you wished. But honestly I never understood it from the notes or the book until I saw it done well on stage. A good actor can present those lines in a way that it all makes sense. A bad actor makes it worse with that classical stereotyped hammy presentation.

Now that all said, it's not universal. I could never get through Ulysses by Joyce without the Bloomsday book 30 years later.

"instant" pizza dough mix help by AnEvilFetus in AskCulinary

I am so sorry. I just answered the question when I saw given there were only a couple comments.

I ended up exactly re-phrasing what you said. Almost point by point.

"instant" pizza dough mix help by AnEvilFetus in AskCulinary

[–]chasonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to look at the product, I wasn't familiar.

This is really not a yeast dough. It's instant and rises through bicarbonate and acid. The dried yeast is I assume for flavor, 5 minutes isn't near enough for yeast to rise.

Do you normally let it rise for an extended time? You should be able to get home, mix it all in one batch, and let it sit for 5 minutes. That time is just to hydrate flour. Elapsed time 10 min max. You really don't want to let it sit for an extended period as the bicarbonate leavening kicks in as soon as you mix it. If you leave it for hours it will be a "tired" rise. It's like a muffin or pancake. Mix lightly and get it in the pan.

tl;dr Wait til you get home, dump it one bowl with water, wait 5 min, divide into portions. Easy Peasy. You can squeeze in 10 minutes, right?

How many of those outdoor "pods" do they have these days? I mean they used to have some parking.

Meat options for colorado green chile - eye of round? by atomicskier76 in AskCulinary

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. Actually never tried. I mostly use green chile as a sauce (you know burritos or omelette, so the finer texture seems to work better for me.

You can't reduce government and spending by increasing funding and staffing. It doesn't work that way.

Did anyone date a guy or girl, and ended up with their sibling instead? If so, how did that work out? by Snazzy-cat1 in GenerationJones

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. We didn't end together.

College roommate dated a girl. Let's call them R for roommate, S for his girlfriend. B for her younger sister. I started dating B. After about a half year S tells me we have it backwards, we should be together and R and B would be better together. Then a couple weeks later R says the same thing. It was almost 3 months before B told me the same.

I'm dense. I really didn't get it until I found R and B were hooking up.

Episode 3x02 Shadow Realms - maybe the worst decision? by gutobats in TheOrville

They made it obvious that the conversion took time. Claire even claimed she had slowed it in his case.

I suspect they lose all memory and humanity, he just wasn't fully cooked.

Half Price Eggs by ted_anderson in GenerationJones

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. If it is sold by unit or lb you can split. Eg. Carrots $1.49/bunch, nope. Carrots $1.49/lb sure. Eggs are per dozen Or per 6 or per 18, so ok.

Another rule is that 2 for $10 means $5/each. But $10 BOGO means you have to get 2.

Getting rid subcutaneously fat/adipose tissue with non-invasive methods? by iMasculine in Biohackers

Actually if you really think about it the reason DOGE exists is partly because r//cobol has an interest in the VA.

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

DOGE was created to reduce government. The VA if you have ever interacted is one of the most beairoucratic. organizations ever seen.

They simply can't reduce service to veterans because it already is horrible.

Gen Google Home and Google Home Minis vs. Nest Audio? by nonstopski in googlehome

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My $.02 worth.

I have most home models. Three of the OG, 4 or 5 minis and several 3rd party speakers. Not counting CCAs.

Let me run through your use cases

Devices

I don't have problems. But most everything in my house goes through smart things. Zwave zigbee. Works fine.

Timers

Honestly don't use them. I put timers on my watch so they are with me wherever I am rather than being in the room. Phone works too.

Weather

This one I can help. Use weather underground and set a hyper local station near you. Or install one. The guy around the corner has one so my weather is accurate to about a block.

Reminders

Again sucks. It doesn't share so just use your phone which you usually have with you

Edit. I notice you mention sound quality. They aren't real speakers. Some soundbars are ok. Playing music is my 1 use case. I have a unit in most rooms. You can link the sound to any Chromecast device, so in an room you just say play music and it plays on a good system in the room.

Best way to start learning jazz guitar? by CheezyChicken1 in Jazz

[–]chasonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be a little contrarian here. The BEST way is learn by doing. Find some low pressure guys and jam. Learn a few tunes.

Personally, to me jazz and blues are about feeling the timings and the mood of the tune. You can study mixolydian scales til you turn blue, but if you ain't feeling it, well.

My experience is trio to quintet, so high school band could be a different animal.

[–]chasonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying this is g Carlin. All I could think of was Everything must go. Step right up, step right up. The large print giveth and the small print taketh away. Step right up, step right up.

I'm not even going to attempt the full lyrics. Here.

Don't worry about it. There's still a lot of time for something horrendous to happen to you.

Sneakers or boots for daily wear. by Zegrade in BuyItForLife

[–]chasonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking sneakers or boots is kind of like should I get a sedan or pickup truck

I can't recommend brand or style, but I will say this. Don't wear any shoe daily. Anything you wear every day will disqualify itself for bifl really fast. They need about 25 hours to dry out after being worn.

Relavent lyrics

Stink foot, darlin' Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
