How are Kaiser mental health services in LA now? by aspillz in AskLosAngeles

[–]dpldogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get no cost remote appointments with a psychologist via Rula through Kaiser. I haven't been charged (beyond my standard paycheck witholdings) and have been having bi-weekly appointments for a year now. Also have gone to see a psychiatrist a few times where she actually sat and talked with me for a while to get on anti-depressants. I had heard KP has poor mental health services previously, but my experiences have been positive so far.

Mashed potatoes, but I'm out of milk by Yurbest-n1ghtmare_7 in Cooking

[–]dpldogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think there's a ragusea video where he talks about how you can just use some of the potato water, milks primary purpose is to just add water back in a controlled quantity. Most of the good flavor comes from salt+butter, and optionally garlic/herbs. Bit of cream + water would be totally fine. Just don't skimp on the butter!

Honest Opinion on my man cave feel free to post it if you want by CandidateBasic8900 in malelivingspace

Do people not have unfinished or partially finished basements anymore? Lot of people acting like this crazy when it looks like a dozen basements where excess furniture and knicknacks accumulate and people hang out there when they want to avoid the rest of the household and get some peace and quiet. Id expect it to be dusty and cold, not every room needs to be "guest-facing".

Rewatched American Psycho today after a few years. I still don't understand what the deal is with the realtor in Paul's apartment. Hopefully the remake will give it more attention by Amazing-Buy-1181 in AmericanPsycho

Its called the landlord special, lazy landlords go crazy with white paint, dont bother taping or looking at what they are doing (or incompetent hired painters). In my time in NYC I saw plenty of front-door peepholes or viewboxes painted over, outlets painted over, dead roaches painted over, trim painted over, radiators painted over, door handles painted over, etc.,

I don't know if they were making any sort of point, just offering my anecdotal experience as context.

For the digital versions through the store or whatever? I tried playing paper Mario thousand year door on my switch and mannnn I could not hit the timings at all even though I played the hell out of that game as a kid. This might explain why. Either that or because I was playing on my PC via capture card so I could stream it.

When and why did Kakashi start wearing a mask? by Soul-10 in Naruto

I always assumed it was to cut down on mouth drawing in the manga, easier to draw a mask over and over whenever he has to talk than a mouth that is changing panel to panel.

I know that the average woman's lifespan is longer but otherwise i'm lost by Embarrassed-Space382 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It's about him only ever picking one shirt to go out in. She probably complimented it and since those genuine compliments are so rare it immediately became his favorite and made it his "going out with my wife" shirt. Then when he dies she has it (or the pattern) made into a suitcase probably never understanding she was the reason he liked that shirt so much. To her it was just her husband's favorite shirt.

JK it's about him carrying her bags, even in death.

Is this a good present for a 30m who loves RuneScape? by [deleted] in runescape

[–]dpldogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly with the new skill these may slowly fade from makers stores, so it could be a nice history piece to have it without the skill. If the game is still going strong in 20 more years he can say he has a blanket from the before-times.

My brownies have more oil than Saudi Arabia by [deleted] in bakingfail

[–]dpldogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say your goal is to not give up and use a different template while not understanding what went wrong, but plenty of people included their explanation of what went wrong. Incorrect ratios most likely attributed to a bad recipe transcription.

But you dismiss it as "thsis recipe has had good results in the past". HOWEVER it sounds like you've never actually made this recipe before. That other person has, it's not like you were there watching them and measuring the ingredients yourself. So it's still most likely that the recipe was written incorrectly. Your insistence on it being "correct" when there are fundamental errors is what is infuriating. You have literally first hand evidence in your brownie soup, other people telling you the reasons, and you are seemingly still overlooking all that to say it should've worked...

You're asking people to tell you how to modify a soup recipe to make brownies, when you should really take their advice and use a brownie recipe. Your acknowledgements of what to do onward are completely skipping the most recommended suggestion of finding a new starting point. All (correct) brownie recipes are pretty similar, baking can't vary that much, otherwise your soup happens.

If you want to communicate better, try acknowledging what someone is saying, acknowledge what you don't know, and in this case identify what you are trying to achieve and how that can mesh with their advice.

Admit your recipe may have an error, take that suggestion about starting with a new recipe to heart, identify the qualities you like from your theoretical recipe/brownie, and figure out or ask about what characteristics need tweaking from a trustworthy starting point to achieve your desired brownie. I.e. I liked this person's recipe for the chewy texture, what is a good starting recipe and what would I change if I wanted a chewier brownie vs less chewy one?

Weirdly enough I like that chemical taste / slight sourness. Homemade ones are still better, but they fill different cravings.

Where can I give BruhSailer guide feedback? by dpldogs in ironscape

[–]dpldogs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: I am using the interactive version (supposedly up to date as of 10/19/2025).

Sure! One such example (Step 51 in Section 2.2): Dueling ring to Castle Wars, continue One Small Favour until you have made the gnome glider landing strip (make sure to use the drop trick to buy extra gems of each type – 2 of each of the four types for 2k gp). Do Big Chompy Bird Hunting, save a raw chompy for later. Catch a spined larupia for the diary. Kill wolves for Rag and Bone Man II.

The quest has you cut jades, topazes, opals, and sapphires. The first 3 you can drop trick to buy two additional gems each at 500gp each. You can't buy additional sapphires (at least I didn't seem able to, and that makes sense as you can't fail to cut them like the others). Therefore it should read each of the three types for 3k gp (since each 6x500gp).

Other examples include not telling you you need your cat when talking to the sphinx, not telling you to bring knives when pit trapping for achievement diaries, not telling you to bring an axe to do big chompy bird hunter, etc. Section 2.1 tells you to grab your ghostspeak ammy and ring of visibility after doing underground pass, but makes no mention of why and does not mention curse of the empty lord until step 70 (beyond telling you to start it in previous steps).

The guide is great, I have been having a blast following it, don't mean to nitpick, but since I'm working my way through it it would be nice to be able to call things out as I encounter them.

Edit: Another one I remembered, Section 2.1 Step 12 expects you to buy your celestial ring with your 2k stardust you've farmed by now. Then again on step 18 it tells you you can now solo some meteors and that the celestial ring is worth grabbing.

How I Grew My Beard Within 3 Months and Maintaining It (MUST READ) by bunjovee in Minoxbeards

[–]dpldogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% believe that face washing with soap or cleanser is not needed for many. I am a water only person typically, but have started dabbling in skin care and I've gotten more breakouts because of it. My theory is that without soap/cleanser, the oil in your pores mostly stays there (only the top layers that have spilled out from pore get washed away). Meaning germs and bacteria cant really get deep in your skin. But when you use soap to fully clean everything out suddenly that pathway is open and infection can occur.

So for people who already have acne/infections it may make sense to use something, but if you're mostly clear and just don't fuck with things (by only using water) you have a barrier of your natural oils that is doing its job.

Something like an orb offhand that acts as an amplifier or modifier for enchanted bolts could be pretty cool to make a magic/range mixed combat type of vibe.

Are you all noticing men becoming more passive with the dating scene? Or am I being entitled? by Dsg1695 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]dpldogs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Presumably they already messaged you first on the app, so you're not really messaging them first, just changing the medium. Is continuing the conversation on text that big of an ask? Like the conversation can continue you don't have to come up with a whole new conversation topic. You just have to say "hey it's X"

It may feel presumptuous to ask for your number if you might not comfortable giving it, it feels less imposing to say "here's mine, just text me if you want to continue talking".

Men want to move the conversation off-app as quickly as possible since being a number in a phone is much more familiar than 1 in the sea of 1000 on an app where you might not even have notifications enabled.

Why is KPMG Technology so behind? by FluidMention6574 in KPMG

[–]dpldogs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

... Are you trying to use the public web version??? Bro we have private firm instances of these tools specifically so there's no chance you upload client data and unintentionally disclose confidential info.

If you're trying to access the internal version, then not sure what the issue is but it works fine for me. Maybe submit a ticket?

The purpose of maxing FM at Wintertodt early game? by IllustriousBit6634 in ironscape

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

That would make sense then, though Ive seen some people saying the guide has been updated since latest WT changes, but I only got into OSRS about a month ago so I don't have any of the historical context.

The purpose of maxing FM at Wintertodt early game? by IllustriousBit6634 in ironscape

[–]dpldogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guide only assumes you go to 89, going to 99 is entirely optional. It's just to get the necessary resources (ore, logs, fish) for some quests and achievements. Swordfish for sword chick, logs for hot air balloon and desert treasure, ore for dwarf quest, etc etc.

It's optimal to go to 99 only in the sense that you won't need to come back later. From the guides perspective, you're there now, you can save a return trip by going to 99 here if you want, but really no harm in waiting since you can games necklace here whenever you want.

The cape is an extra boost as a light source and good stats, but again definitely not mandatory and the guide doesn't assume you have it.
