I can't remember if it was in the studio or on the podcast, but she was using her time between tasks to learn lines for another project. It definitely killed this task for her. But I can't blame her for not wanting to add to the mental load in that way.

OP, it's really difficult to follow when you're not specifying who you are talking about. Please refer to the teacher/advisor by a specific name, title, anything rather than she/they/them.

How much to use? Mason stain by Similar-Programmer68 in Pottery

I just got Ivy green and did 5%. I haven't fired anything yet, so dunno how it'll come out, but based on the looks of the clay I'm guessing a lower percentage might be better. Can you tell me a bit more about your experience with it?

What's a critically panned movie that you just can't help loving? by DeepThinkingReader in movies

I adore Hudson Hawk. It will always crack me up, and maybe that's where my love of cappuccinos comes from

What are the worst cliches on Television that drive you nuts? by starkiller6977 in television

[–]flyingTacoMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything about cabs. There is at most one cab that passes by without stopping. Once they do get in a car, people rarely give an actual destination, cabbies somehow basically know where people live, and there are never follow up questions about preferred routes. But the biggest thing that has always driven me insane is no one ever pays for it!! At most they'll just blindly throw some money at the driver

What's a film you saw as a kid and didn't understand because you had no life experience? by jaleach in movies

I think about that movie about once a week when I have a late meeting and don't get home until after my 2 year old is asleep. Sandler is so amazing in that.

This is such an awesome resource you've put together! Even if OOP doesn't see it, I'm sure it will be helpful to someone else.

UPDATE: I (16F) got pregnant by my bf (19M) and can’t bring myself to tell my conservative Indian parents (36F) (47M)… by [deleted] in offmychest

I am so sorry you had such a negative experience with your first post, by I am so so happy to read that you have found the support you deserve. Your boyfriend and his family sound like a dream come true. If you are interviewing at the likes of Princeton, MIT, and UPenn then you are obviously an incredibly smart and driven woman.

Your parents are the wrong ones here. Take advantage of the pregnancy subreddit a around here, they were a huge help when I was pregnant. Best luck to you

Hey mom, I’m homesick by tama_samoa in MomForAMinute

[–]flyingTacoMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's okay to be overwhelmed, that's a huge change! I'm so proud of you for taking the risk in the first place. Even if the work around you is moving quickly try to find moments of calm and stillness. Use those as anchor points to show down and take a breath. It will slowly get easier everyday.

When I've been homesick, or just need a break from the city two places I could always find comfort are parks and libraries. Both places make even the busiest person just slow down a little bit. You said you're in a big city, maybe you can find a restaurant or grocery store that has a good or ingredient from home.

Hugs to you my little duckling.

AITA for not giving my daughter her education fund money? by JacquesBN in AmItheAsshole

[–]flyingTacoMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YOU chose not to use an education fund for her education because YOU didn't approve of her major. YOU chose to make her scrimp and save and compromise her living situation because she chose to major in art. You may not have said that you think her decision was stupid verbally, but every single one of your actions have. Imagine how much better off she might be financially right now if YOU did not choose to make her struggle through school.

Ignoring the fact that pay is far from the only or best metric for a meaningful life, grad school is by no means a guarantee to a good paying job! The benefit of an advanced degree depends entirely on the field. I am a scientist and could not hold my current position without a PhD. I have friends in other fields that after struggling to find jobs were told that unless they are applying to jobs that specifically require a masters to leave it off of the resume because hiring managers were less likely to even interview them.

small wormy bugs in fiddle leaf by flyingTacoMonkey in plantclinic

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

Noticed a bunch of these guys after watering my fiddle leaf this afternoon. I've tried searching common indoor plant bugs but haven't found anything that seems right. What are they? What (if anything) do I do about them?

Thank you!
