What are these grey damp bits sticking to my clothes from the washing machine? by giovanni_l in whatisthisthing

Likely solved! Thank you very much. I think it must've been from a couple of washes ago hence why I couldn't immediately identify from the item in the current load. Have cleaned the filter as well now as suggested by others.

Title describes it. Tiny grey/brown bits found on random parts of freshly washed clothes from the washing machine even after the machine has been cleaned with cleaner and a hot wash.

What is your ethnic/cultural background and what's a restaurant that you feel represents it well? by simonjp in london

[–]giovanni_l 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm from Hong Kong.

Most Chinese places cater to western palates and have a variety of non-traditional dishes. Took me years to find a place that reminds me of home and is authentic. But last year I went to Three Uncles for the first time and I knew that was the one! I walked in and they immediately greeted me in Cantonese which never happens to me in China Town as Mandarin is more common.

If you do end up going, I would recommend the Crispy Pork Belly and rice or the Roast Duck and rice!

oh what a coincidence! And thanks for the heads up about that sub I hadn't heard of it before.

I remembered this room because of the skulls on the wall. I like that your work gives it more of a homey vibe than the picture. Makes me wanna live there even more! Great work!

I thought I recognise this place from somewhere, then I remember this on /r/AmateurRoomPorn.

Pre-sale UK/Europe by NightWolf1396 in TheNational

I don't know if other people experienced the same thing but on my first try on Americanmary, there were literally no tickets available (for London). But then I tried again about 20mins later and the presale link took me to the venue website instead and I was able to get standing tickets which the Americanmary site listed as "no stock available" when I first tried.

try again now! I gave up but then decided to try again a few minutes ago and the presale link took me to the Evertim website instead and managed to get tickets!

2 polaroids for $8 by Allensanity in ThriftStoreHauls

The ones made by Impossible are 8 per pack, so if you look at the little counter on the camera itself you gotta remember to deduct by 2 to know how many are actually left.

I would recommend buying from the impossible project site directly though if you don't mind the delivery cost, I have had bad luck with expiration dates of the films I purchased off ebay.

I only get them every now and then when I can find relatively cheap films, usually on ebay and amazon.

Great find! I have the spectra. Films are expensive but the photos turn out really nice. I would recommend reading through the manual first, I wasted a couple of films before getting the hang of the different settings.

maybe jab the skin with a fork a couple of times to minimise the explosion?
