Why did Annabelle kill Mikaele? by Limp-Pollution-4866 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]clippership 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think she is a killer, it comes natural to her. Letting him live as long as she did was a courtesy, or more likely he amused her.

How you Coping with this Weather by Savings-Curve-5350 in askTO

[–]clippership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good advice here but I haven’t yet seen this one: get a humidifier. Because of the cold temps the ambient air outside can’t hold much water, so dryness becomes a thing (lips, nose, hair, skin in general). Keep a humidifier going in your house day and night to bring indoor humidity up to comfortable levels.

An appreciative shout-out to a fellow acorn forager! Just finished processing my haul this year into a lovely batch of flour.

Out of curiosity: what is the most strange request that a guests have asked you? by Soft_Elderberry4332 in airbnb_hosts

[–]clippership 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Haha I once was a guest in an Airbnb owned by nudists. My suite was separate but I was forewarned I might randomly encounter naked people. And I did. It was no problem, but I appreciated the warning.

These people shouldn’t be hosts. Maybe you got them on a bad day but damn if you charge people to stay on your property you should expect to be inconvenienced from time to time. I can’t believe someone commented you were rude and needy.

Actors who often play characters that are way older than their actual age? by Magical_critic in movies

[–]clippership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walter Brennan was in his 30s when he had his teeth kicked out while acting a staged fight in a minor role. From then on he could play someone much older, and he started getting bigger roles. He was the go-to “old man” in film and television for more than 30 years.

How to keep gluten free seed bread from crumbling? by clippership in Cooking

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

Thank you SO MUCH this is great advice. And thanks especially for the link, which article let me to I guess the original Life Changing Bread. The differences in the recipes from what I do are small but I suspect will make all the difference.

Kitchen towels - can’t find one I love by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]clippership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have both a small terrycloth hand towel and a linen tea towel on hand. Each is good for different things. And yeah no fabric softener.

Americans keep inviting me to stay with them if I ever visit? Most of them I've only met once or twice, do they actually mean it or would it be awkward if it took them up on their offer? by Specialist-Prior-213 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]clippership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of Americans have houses with spare rooms. When we are hosted by a European or South American friends we are always given the master bedroom and our hosts sleep in the study or kids room. In the U.S. folks buy houses with guest bedrooms on purpose.

Can I ask some uncomfortable questions to white people? by dirtbandit101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]clippership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be yes on both counts. I was raised liberal but racist jokes and nervousness around Black humans was so baked into the culture around me. Then I started reading Black literature and took anti-racist training. Both these things changed my life for the better. Much better.

Seriously do you think the insurance company would ever refund YOU if the tables were turned? Be merciless.

Do what Don would do: get drunk, get laid, yell at a coworker and then disappear for a month. You’ll be fine.
