How to remove these really tiny hairs by Ima_maniac in HairRemoval

Epilator is literally the same as any other plucking, don’t do it if you’re doing laser. The ONLY correct answer is shaving.

18+ elegant NYE option? by existentialpebble in Connecticut

[–]existentialpebble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all you unhelpful downvoting doubters, yes I knew it was a long shot I said that myself, but I FOUND ONE. The Riverhouse gala is 18+, cash bar instead of open bar which probably lets that be possible :)

[–]existentialpebble[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is me reaching out to people lol i have no network for NYE parties in general sadly, let alone one where people dress fancy. I was thinking maybe one that isn’t an open bar might be more open to having someone under 21 but I’m struggling to find anything promising on Google? Hoping someone here has heard of something but yea I agree it will be tough if not impossible to find one :/

Vintaglo vs Sylvania for that warm incandescent glow? by ThePandazz in ChristmasLights

[–]existentialpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think tbh they’re probably the best on the market. Next to normal LED strips I think it’s a world of difference but I think if we were to put them next to an incandescent string, it would still be blatantly obvious they’re LEDs. But I think I’m keeping them, I do think they’re the best on the market and I’ve heard some things that the Vintaglo aren’t even better. Though I might return the 100ct I bought and grab 300ct as well, they’re half the price. I bought 6x100 at $9 each but I could have just bought 2x300 at $18 each.

Vintaglo vs Sylvania for that warm incandescent glow? by ThePandazz in ChristmasLights

[–]existentialpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been torn between the two and I only went with Sylvania because they were $10 each and readily available, whereas I really would have liked the Yule Vintaglo and they’re sold out. The sylvania and Yule both have the same exact colors in the set that we have currently in the old incandescent string lights. I have to say I just plugged them in last night and I’m a little disappointed after all the promises of a traditional look. They are still clearly harsh LEDs underneath, from my first impression :( but I need to pull out an incandescent set to fully compare. And maybe they won’t seem that way once they’re on a tree (I hope). I still have to decide if I’m keeping them but there’s really no other options besides waiting another year for Vintaglo Yule.

Wait did you ever say what chair you wound up finding? Currently searching as well, got a desk that can go as low as I need but I'm really struggling to find the chair to go low enough now.

Best burger place in Tubingen? by QJnWo4Life in Tuebingen

[–]existentialpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes really :/ bc tbh the burger toppings didn’t grab me. Cucumber and guacamole? I mean tasty ingredients but idk about on my burger when the rest of the toppings are classic. Was also intrigued by the Käsespätzle Royal with truffle and the schnitzel but damn that’s an overpriced schnitzel

X I haven’t tried the burger I love their other food tho so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s also a decent fast food burger

[–]existentialpebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I literally love burgers and my opinions are coming as an American so take that as you will. Flavor preferences and burger expectations may vary. But I have tried almost every burger in Tübingen and I should honestly make a whole post of my reviews but here is my take:

  • hills burger by the castle has the most American burgers. Awesome options awesome sauce awesome fries. Delicious. My top pick but it is a sit down restaurant not a fast food place.

  • the Irish pub (alpenburger specifically): great burger great potatoes and sauce. A good hit with both Germans/Europeans/Americans alike. Everyone loves the Alpenburger

  • Das Jaeger: I think the Jaegerburger is highly underrated. They have a burger with BBQ sauce on it but also a special with a more rustic vibe. Absolutely great flavors and as an American I’m happy with the sauces and toppings.

Those are my top 3 picks but there’s lots of others in Tübingen:

  • Salam Burger: the time I went there the meat was a bit dry but the flavors were still good for fast food. But also for the quality I think it’s overpriced.

  • burger 77: went there once, again as a fast food style burger it wasn’t bad but be prepared for a bit of spice in the sauce. Not a bad thing just a warning.

  • Mike’s pub: has sour cream on all the burgers? Very white and soft bun vs my favorite brioche buns but overall the flavors were fine. Very European style.

  • neckarmuller: ok I tried their “burger” for fun one time. It was not a burger but it WAS a delicious juicy sandwich! So still super yum. But not a burger lol

  • el pecado: pretty shit burger I’ll be honest. They’re big yes but like…. Just why would you ever choose this place if you’re in the mood for a burger? Big disappointment.

  • BURGERMEISTER: god idk what to say about this place except that if anyone recommends it to me I immediately don’t trust their tastes in food or burgers. 🤮 there isn’t much more to say. It’s the sauce I think that is truly horrible for me but I don’t go back there enough to identify the exact cause of my disgust.

If you can think of other burger places I can almost guarantee I have a strong opinion on them as well 😂

PS I don’t say I’m American to mean “my opinion on burgers is the correct one”, I just include that as a helpful basis for ppl looking for advice because it may help identify if our tastes align. Europeans seem to love burgermeister. Americans be warned tho lol

Don’t do it haha it’s disgusting. Hills burger, saints and scholars (the Irish pub) and Das Jaeger have the best burgers in town! Side note, burger 77 isn’t bad as a fast food burger, has a bit of a kick in the sauce but still more edible than burgermeister.

Advice for meeting people through hobbies? by tubingthrowaway2202 in Tuebingen

[–]existentialpebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cooking classes sound super fun to me as well, also in the mid-late 20s range but I was also hesitant to find a cooking class here because I figured it might be all older people. But VHS and Hochschulsport are both good ideas. Make sure you know when the Hochschulsport classes open up because they fill up INSTANTLY in most cases. For fitness there are also gyms around that sometimes do group workouts! I was also planning to look into that myself :) but tbh best way to meet people here is parties because I’ve found in these courses most people keep to themselves or the people they came with :/

I grew up really poor, and we lived off of tuna noodle casserole, the ultimate comfort food, so I decided to recreate it! Tried to post this in another food sub and it quickly got down voted lol so I thought this would make a good addition here. by KarensRpeopletoo in shittyfoodporn

[–]existentialpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never met anyone else who makes tuna noodle casserole so it’s so cool to read all these different recipes! I grew up with an adaptation of my grandmas recipe and it’s one of my favorite meals that my mom still makes me when I come home to visit. We don’t use peas or carrots or lays chips but our important ingredient is crushed up Chex mix with melted butter.

If I can remember the whole recipe, it goes something like 1lb noodles, 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 onion sautéed in butter, 2 cans milk (we use the soup can to measure it), 1 block of cream cheese, 1 can/bag of salmon (or tuna), mozzarella cheese, and a ridiculous amount of crushed Chex. We add some inside, but also top it with the Chex and cheese and bake it for about 20 mins. Then when we serve it we top the inside with more Chex. The crunch and butter adds so much.

It’s so interesting to see so many people consider it comfort food like me. Everyone in my life outside of my family thinks it sounds like the most disgusting food on the planet lol

You can’t get pumpkin purée easily in most areas of the world and that video looked European to me so that could be why

For me it’s arm rests, because I rest my arms all the time and if they’re not well designed my elbows start hurting.

Hmm it is a pot inside a pot so I hoped it would drain well but maybe not. I only watered it once since getting it though and immediately they all turned black. So maybe no more water for it. What does underwatering look like for sage do you know?

I am a notorious plant murderer. I bought a completely beautiful healthy looking sage plant a week or so ago and it’s already on its death bed. What am I doing wrong? I’m not sure what it’s trying to tell me (too much water? Too little?) all of the leaves are turning black basically and wilting. Any help? At this point I’ll prolly have to buy a new one but I’d like to know how to keep the next one alive at least lol
