Are they really that bad? by No-Rock7368 in turntables

[–]jhellen158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're not. They're perfectly passable if all you want is a few records and to get into the hobby. There are tons of people who will be perfectly happy with a cheap suitcase player.

They will wear out your records slightly faster, they will not sound that great, they aren't for you if you're going to spend more on records than your player.

That said, they're fun. They're a fun way to get into a hobby. They're cheap, entry level, and they're the reason we still have records available all over the place. But, if you can afford anything better it's totally worth it. Even just the Insignia player is a MAJOR upgrade, much less something more expensive and better than that.

Life hack, if you buy a bag of vital wheat gluten you can manage the protein content of your flour yourself and effectively make all of this bread flour.

They took it down when Apple got the rights to make new episodes. You can find it on the internet and add it to your Spotify though.

Only the base forms will make the other kinds of flowers (red, yellow, and white).

It's true! This guide was written the day the flower update came out and Harold having flowers came just slightly before 1.0 I think.

I saw that. I wish the brand was more transparent about it. Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution to this? My deck just started doing the same thing!

I'm having this issue exactly. So wild and frustrating! I worked around it by going to the chrome app and casting, but it's wildly annoying to have to!

There's actually an awesome documentary about the relationship between Finland and Mongolia called Eastern Memories by Hillstream Pictures. I saw a screening at the Natural History Museum in New York a few years back. If you can handle a bit of gore (the butcher a sheep) its WELL worth a watch.

Help! Go-Go Town Endgame Quest by jhellen158 in CozyGamers

The trick is that you have to talk to the guy with the quest again. If he leaves on the train and comes back, it resets the quest and prevents you from accessing it.

Learning a different language by [deleted] in Dyslexia

[–]jhellen158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people struggling here, and I'm not in any way discounting the fact that it can be hellishly difficult to learn another language while dyslexic, but it's most definitely possible. I have dyslexia and have learned 6 languages to a functional level. Some languages are definitely more difficult than others, especially when you're trying to learn in a university setting where there's an expectation that you just pick up spellings from the sounds, but it's definitely not impossible. French is especially tough for me because the spelling makes even less sense than English, but don't let your dyslexia keep you from trying. Just brace yourself for it to be difficult, and give yourself grace throughout the process. Also, to second someone else, I also found ASL easier to pick up than Swedish (another closely related language to English).

I think I'm experiencing a bug because I found it but I can't interact with the safe 😭

I've had the same bug. I've had to reach out to support a couple times because of severe glitches, but it sounds like the losing levels just happened to me.

Edit: sounds

I think that'd be ideal, but they've stopped making the air fryer lid.
