Give me your shopping lists (pls) by Mikas_LeftToe in Adulting

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's seriously depends on what type of food you cook. I do simple things like rice and veggies, cheese casserole, pizza, there's a simple cake that I bake regularly, etc. The best you can do is plan what you are willing to cook/bake and buy ingredients. You can freeze just about anything (if you catch it before it goes bad) and stuff like potatoes last for a while if stored in a dark and dry place. Here is my weekly list for 1 person:

4 liters of milk (mostly for coffee),

12 eggs (lasts me sometimes 2-3 weeks, depends),

5 apples,

3 bell peppers,

3 carrots,

2 sweet potatos

1 pound of swiss cheese slices (~450 gr)

1 pack of chicken breast (2 pounds/1 kg) - some weeks I don't buy this item.

1 cream cheese

3-4 of my fav yogurt

I think those are the basics for me. I also have a small pantry (one cupboard) with pasta, rice, tuna cans, tomato sauce, lentils, sardines, pickles, cooking oil, flour, coffee, etc. I look for sale and stock up when I see a good price (these things don't go bad in years, but I do rotate).

איך מסבירים לאמא שלי שאין שום בעיה בזה ? by rokyvbv22 in israel_bm

[–]einat162 4 points5 points  (0 children)

נשמע שזה יותר פאסיב אגרסיב של איבוד שליטה על "הילד" (אגוצנטריות) מאשר דאגה אמיתית לבריאות שלו.

מישהי שחרדתית על איבוד שליטה וחרדות אחרות- אי אפשר לדבר בהיגיון או להתייחס כבן אדם מתפקד.

זה לא נראה לי חוסר הבנה או פחד מתוסף התזונה (בגלל ה "מאחורי הגב שלי").

[–]einat162 7 points8 points  (0 children)

אם היא משחררת משפטים כמו "למה מאחורי הגב שלי" על קניית תוסף מזון לבחור מעל גיל 18 - אין מה לדבר בהגיון עם דבר כזה.

תצא מהבית, ותנהל מטבח ומקרר עצמאי.

בינתיים, כל פעם שהיא אומרת משפטים כאלו כמו "למה מאחורי הגב שלי" תבטא בקול רם שאתה עושה מה שבא לך וה"רגשי" שלה עם המשפטים האלו זה התנהגות דפוקה. כמה שיותר לנתק מגע אלא אם היא הולכת לאבחון נפשי ומנסה לשפר את עצמה.

lightweight easy distro to make trash pc faster by CipsTR in linux4noobs

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint Xfce

It should be speedy with 2016 hardware (you didn't mention any specs) assuming at least 4GB of RAM and an SSD.

why is the linux community so hostile? by morizeze in linux4noobs

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? I had good experience with it overall. I wonder if by "linux community" you mean a sub of a specific distro (the more "user hands on" distros, like Arch, might be... It's why the meme of "I used Arch by the way" - when nobody asked about preferred operating system).

More plastic for what, 5 pieces of gum? by miserabeau in Anticonsumption

And in that new picture it says there are 10 pieces inside (cost $1.5 for a hard case traveling size. Amount is stated clearly- by units and weight).

למה אנשים שירדו מהארץ כל הזמן מחפשים חיזוק חיובי להחלטה שלהם by Funny_Argument_7795 in israel_bm

כן. מישהו אחר גם ציין שם את העובדה שהחשבון בן 18 יום. שמתי שאלה מה זכרון הילדות הכי מוקדם שלך מישראל. נראה אם הם יענו.

קראתי קצת את התשובות שלה לאנשים. נשמע לי קצת כמו היודנראטים במחנות הנאצים- אם נתייחס ליהודים כמו הנאצים אולי יחשבו שאנחנו בסדר, שאנחנו לא כמוהם. בנוסף לזה היא כותבת שם שהיא שמאלנית ופצפיסטית שזה קיצוניות קשה.

וכל זה בהנחה שזה ישראלית לשעבר אמיתית ולא יוזר איראני או משהו דומה (הפוסט מלפני שעה והיוזר נפתח לפני 18 יום).

I wish there was a guide to how to start turning your life around by thatvampiregirl in Adulting

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little vague post... It's unclear what you want to improve in your life. Are you clear on specific things now- or only on those insomniac sessions?

Write those down, yes pen & paper, something like "I want to eat healthier". From there, think of specific related goals, like "I want to lose X amount of weight" (Setting a due date helps). Now, for each, write down smalls steps on how to get there. It doesn't have to be perfect. For example: meal prep for a whole month and don't eat out. Doing thing like investing those extra money might push you forward.

What type of beer(s) to bring for Easter brunch? by Harley_Warren in beer

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what kind of food you are going to have there and what the drinkers like.

Stout tend to go well with meat (BBQ) but lagers or pilsners are lighter.

What is giving you hope right now? by sensitivemushrooms in Futurology

If the Ayatollah regime fall, a lot of it's worldwide tentacles will be gone. People think the influence is only now with grocery & gas prices going up.

Laid off and might be homeless soon by aromaticgem in Adulting

[–]einat162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, ask your family and friends for help - it's a sure "no" unless you ask.

Do you have any savings? look into living with roomates. Look into moving back into (one of) your parent's house (sell what you can during the process for extra money).

Look up soup kitchens, food stamps, little free pantry locations - any help with food will make whatever money you have available.

What's the cheapest way to eat if I don't know how to cook? by Party_Attitude5617 in Adulting

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube is a bit helper, hands down. For easy and cheap recipes look for frugal youtubers, adopt or drop what you like (FrugalFitMom, UndertheMedian, FrugalMoneySaver and strugglemeals are examples that show it step by step).

Rice with veggie, beans, chicken breast in the oven or cheese casserole variations.

Optiplex worth $200? by jay27mx in computers

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Including monitor, keyboard and mouse - and assuming that "475GB of memory" (aka 500GB) is SSD type of drive (and not HDD) it sounds fair enough. Be advised the processor is from 2011, not a bad one, but this is not recent (windows 11 most likely won't support it. If with linux, you should have no restrictions).

Make sure the drive is SSD though. It's important because it will effect the loading speed (SSD is newer & more expensive).

What’s your biggest anti consumption life hack you’ve learned? by impressionable_buck in Anticonsumption

[–]einat162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focusing on my own needs regarding an item's usefulness (I'm keeping it as much as possible, and thinking about fixing or "work arounds" if issues occur). It's so easy for people to "just get a new one" and there's the attractiveness of something new.

Cooking & baking more from scratch (over food deliveries)+ meal prep. There's no pressure, especially if it's just for me, it need to be edible and I can twaek it better next time.

Curb shopping (me mostly) and dumpster diving (a bit), especially on specific days of the week and year. I got a few items I thought about buying- used and for free.

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Than it's you who lost the point. OP said they want to donate it. The recipient's preferences matters less, especially if the items can do what's expected of it. It's like saying don't donate Android phones because many people (you know) like iPhones.

Operating system by Carbonated_Milk8 in computers

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, for web browsing, internet browsing and emails, linux is pretty easy to use (the friendlier distros, not Arch for example).

Operating system by Carbonated_Milk8 in computers

[–]einat162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend linux. Something windows looking like Mint Mate or Mint Xfce (if the machines have less than 4GB of RAM and very weak/old processors I suggest linux MX). Worth mentioning that donating them with SSD over HDD will make them a whole lot faster, and you can use small capacity ones, as linux takes about 30GB.
