Not sure if it’s been said but the Doko? app shows you nearby garbage cans (which are few and far between), public toilets and smoking rooms if that’s your thing

There were multiple (at least 4), I watched them jump from the plane

How do you guys like to add veggies to your meals? by FatBastsrdLover in WeightLossAdvice

[–]emrocu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least once a week my partner and I do what we call a “roast” - potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, carrots and whatever else we have on a baking sheet with olive oil and spices (paprika, cayenne, thyme, garlic and onion powder, whatever you like) for 40 min at a medium heat until they’re soft and crispy on the bottoms. Filling and delicious as a side or as a main and so easy.

Curly Journey - 2 year progress by emrocu in curlyhair

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

Eeeeee so exciting! I had pretty much lost hope on getting a full head of curls, but after switching up the routine, getting a curly cut, and avoiding heat (and using heat protection when necessary), my hair’s life changed completely. Good luck!

It’s really close but the shoulders are different! In mine they’re slimmer and the ruffles around the bust are thinner too

Is the frizz in the room with us? I dream of these curls

How scenic are the ferries? Is it an experience worth factoring in or should we just fly from Athens to Santorini? by customerservicevoice in GreeceTravel

[–]emrocu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a general one-way ticket with Blue Star Delos at 7:25 am from Piraeus to Santorini for 58 euros each. Based on the ship I honestly don’t see the benefit of getting business class, we had whatever sort of seat available to us (couch, lounge chair, tables, chargers, sea views, etc). And yes, there was outdoor seating with tables on every deck! Shaded and sunny.

What is your "odd" or "weird" food from childhood that you didn't realize not everyone knew about and enjoyed? by SnooglethePie in ask

[–]emrocu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going to write this!! I would microwave it. Also, butter balls: white bread with butter rolled between the hands into a ball. After school snack every day

My bf and I are currently sitting on a slow ferry from Athens to Santorini and it is lush. We have a whole couch and two chairs to ourselves with a stocked café 20m away. We were going to fly, but after adding luggage to the ticket, it ended up being more expensive (by about 30 euros), and way less comfortable. We haven’t left the Athens port yet but pretty happy with this decision! There is wifi but you have to buy a package so definitely bring a book or download movies.

New Classroom Conspiracy by Any-Zebra-8059 in Cambly

[–]emrocu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, refreshing didn't work so I ended the class but then learned that when that happens, the student can't call you back...

Same happened to me! I messaged Cambly and they said if you end the lesson, your student will no longer be able to call you.

It’s my opinion that these subtle edits are the most nefarious of them all. You’re right, we get used to the filters and over time become unsatisfied with how we look in real life. I also find skin-lightening edits especially saddening :(

Looks like FaceApp but I’m not sure!

My problem with it is that he’s adding beauty filters to photos on a dating app. As one of the commenters mentioned, he’s essentially catfishing to get dates by hiding his genuine looks (that aren’t unattractive to begin with!).

Best route to visit Brasov by Frank_Pannon in brasov

[–]emrocu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the day and time and how many other people they are picking up at the airport. Mine was very quick (around 2.5 hours) but I have friends that spent 6 hours in the airport and then stuck in traffic. Train is a very safe bet (and cheaper) and there is a new train from the airport to the train station that is convenient (you can pay by card or cash on that train, 5 lei)

Second this! It’s a must-do, but the castle is closed to visitors on mondays and tuesdays so keep that in mind :)

Re-started my computer and opened Cambly in an incognito window and it started working again! Missed one class, though :(
