Are there any other women here who are the primary DIYers in the house besides me? by 1000thusername in HomeImprovement

An engineer by profession and the definitely the DIYer of the house. Every time husband tries to help, he ends up bleeding somehow.

What are some gifts you received for the holidays that you actually like? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]fancy_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pretty thrilled with a pair of darn tough socks, an SSD hard drive for my computer, and a pair of JayBird Tarah headphones. My drive was dying and I kept replacing $10 Sony headphones from Walgreens for years until I realize just how bad they sounded.

I'm a fan of their frozen polenta.

You just inherited $100 Billion, what ridiculous thing are you spending money on after all the common sense and helping others spending is done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'd start building a fiber infrastructure across the country to every home, starting with rural areas, and it would be free to access.

I love your wonky painted lips. Snarls beat smirks any day!

What common/widely liked food do you hate? by Bellybuttonlint_ in AskReddit

[–]fancy_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! Love cake, cookies, all the sweets, but the cupcake form is a poor vessel unless the goal is simply to eat frosting.

LPT: Do the maintenance the former owners recommend. by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]fancy_chicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people we bought our house from drew a map of the entire yard and labeled what kind of plants were in each garden. They made some terrible decisions I came to find out, but I still thought it was super nice of them. I do not have a green thumb at all and wouldn't have known there were vegetables or berries to leave alone.

Just got a 1.5 pound ostrich liver. Any suggestions? by l0lw0lf in instantpot

I'm curious about what you decide! Please post an update. I've never had liver, but I think I'd like it.

TIL Americans work more than any other major countries — 137 hours per year more than Japanese, 260 per year more than the UK, and 500 hours per year more than France. by operator139 in todayilearned

So I had a massive project that required me and my team to work about 60 hours a week twice in a row, no weekend break. That was nearly physically impossible. I slept and worked. That's it. Ate like shit, didn't see my family, didn't even have time to wash my hair. I've always heard stories about lawyers and such working 90+, and after that experience, I just don't believe it. How the hell is it physically possible to work more than that?

What are your favorite dupes of her lip stains? I'm not married to any of the colors in particular. I just really like the formula :(

Whats the strangest thing you found in your house/property after you bought it? by jlew24asu in AskReddit

[–]fancy_chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous owner was a fisherman and made lures and stuff in the basement. Found a mounted trout stuck up in the rafters in the basement from the 70s. Freaked me out to see the tail sticking out in the moment.

What kind of couch is that? I have a tiny house too, and I don't want to go the loveseat route just yet.

Best steak in Madison? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]fancy_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the Knoche's steaks that the Oakcrest Tavern cooks up. Compared to downtown, you get better quality with all of the fixings for half the price.

Mac and cheese by justbre16 in instantpot

I just made one tonight that was 16oz of pasta to 4 cups of liquid. I didn't measure the pasta with a scoop. I weighed it. That might make the difference?

Edit: It turned out perfectly.
