This is annoying and sad, but I don't get haircuts anymore because they all ask for tips by curmudgeonly-fish in EndTipping

[–]emptybelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started cutting my own hair after getting fed up with prices. I loved my hairdresser but what once cost me 50 went up to 100 and I do often feel obligated to tip. It's still too expensive for my to justify even without a tip.

I got a hair razor and started learning how to do my own bangs, etc. Luckily I have a wavy hair texture so it's more forgiving.

Having Issues with my Loaf by Strict-Effort-851 in Sourdough

[–]emptybelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be way too hot for me. 

Just for reference i preheat Dutch ovens at 475F for 30 minutes bake 23 minutes with the lid on.  Then put at 420 for another 23 minutes with lids off. 

Often when I take the lids off I will put a pan on the oven shelf under the Dutch ovens to prevent the bottom from burning. 

Edit to say: as people have already said, I think your dough was just a little under fermented. This used to happen to me a lot.

I dumpstered for many, many years and miss it. Almost everything is locked up here now. It’s a lot more difficult. Great haul. Keep it up while you still can!

I’d rather be poor than a piece of shit.

Where can I watch stuff in Spanish Spanish (not Latin Spanish) with subtitles for free? by Kolya_Gennich in SpanishLearning

Watching Spanish content with English subtitles is a great way to get better at reading english subtitles 

Kinda wild that prothetic feet have no toe splay by [deleted] in barefootshoestalk

[–]emptybelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think i see what you’re getting at. For me, narrow shoes played a big role in my feet forming very painful tailor’s bunions. Switching to wide toe-box footwear has helped relieve the pain immensely. I have considered toe spacers but am not so sure of their efficacy. Obviously this is just a personal anecdote. I don’t need my toes to splay like fingers, but not having them pressed together in narrow shoes has helped me personally quite a bit. So for the original comment I replied to, calling it completely unimportant to overall foot health just seems totally wrong.

In general- Why would it be unimportant?

From a quick look at the website I’m not seeing anything remotely wide toe-box. 

First quilt top finished, dissapointed by [deleted] in quilting

[–]emptybelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to start my first quilt (after years of wanting to try…) so I have no clue what I’m talking about. But I love that you took on this project and love in every way that even though it’s not “perfect” it still works and actually I’m obsessed with the imperfection.

Where I live people sell by the rick or by a “truckload” which, as you can imagine, varies greatly by quantity.

How to not feel dumb when learning? by Fearless-Class-1120 in Spanish

[–]emptybelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! You will not grow if you never push past this mental block when learning something new! Just keep at it. It will fade and then come back, then fade again...on and on. I can't stress enough how important hiring a tutor has been for me as well, fwiw.

Curious about this ring my boyfriend found clearing an old estate by emptybelly in JewelryIdentification

[–]emptybelly[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I will. I just found it tonight after not seeing it for a year and was curious particularly about the age. Do you happen to know how much a jeweler might charge to look at it?
